I've been making good use of crossbow hidey-holes, but in all reality the lodestone system turned those into a gimmick that's only there to break monotony.

More building hotspots like those around the world would be a good addition. Of course they also shed light on how few locations there are to get construction mats. I'm a believer in being able to interact with the world organically, or at least to some degree, so adding more sawmills or construction merchants would let players escape the formula of "okay, gotta go to Varrock for literally everything on the material list before I can build on this hotspot"

as for hotspots themselves, players could build bridges, storage containers, altars, obelisks, ranges, you name it. So they're not just one off, they could degrade and eventually need to be rebuilt as well.

Construction to 120 Please.

A few ideas:

1. Seed storage in my POH kitchen/pantry/garden.

2. Garden outside my POH for free, always composted plots.

3. Allow us to build more agility shortcuts around the world. For example, let us build a catapult to cross a wall or build a bridge to cross a river.

4. Skill cape (non-combat) stand for extra skilling perk (like on Dino island) that applies everywhere.

5. Revamping POH dungeon to make it kind of like the player-owned slayer dungeon, but for non-slayer monsters.

6. Construction contracts that allow us access to cool rewards. Would involve repairs or rebuilding places around the world.

7. New types of planks that provide new ways to make money using woodcutting.

I want so badly to want to go to my POH.

These are cool ideas! :D I would love to have the room limit taken off the Construction skill too. I only got to a certain point building my dungeon before I ran out of allowed rooms. Hunteresque - The Picturesque Hunter

Construction needs to be the next skill raised to 120.

It can be if we expand leveling the skill to outside our POH. We have a lot of Player Owned Content already, and much more can be coming. I can see Construction being expanded like how Dungeoneering is expanded from an instanced activity to a co-op open world skill having its influence felt in every part of Gielinor.

The framework for taking Construction to the mainstream surface game world is already here. I think it is just a matter of whether Jagex wants another new skill and if they have even better skills in mind.

Something occurred to me earlier this week; the selection of Spell Tablets we can make with Lecterns are incredibly limited, absurdly so even. I can't see any reason to not allow us to make Tablets for most skilling spells. Letting us do this would be a significant boon for the Study room, and by extension POH at large.

The reason is really simple actually. It is not very profitable to make tablets and the xp gain is crap. Look at the tablets for skilling spells like Bones to Peaches.You lose money making them for garbage xp. With so many ways to teleport and train skills in RS3, it is hard to see any benefits to train to level 120 just to make a few rather useless tablets.

No one is even talking about the state of the current skill. A lot of the graphics are very outdated. It would be nice to have graphics with modern times. Not having the magic trees look like the magical broccolis that they used to look like. Also would be nice to have the water fountains not look like play-doh. The roses don't even resemble roses. The carpets and drapes look like wall and floor decal. The beds look like they are made out of cardboard. Simple fixes could improve the aesthetics of the skill. Being a good boy is hard work.
