*continued*
6. New items in the skill hall. Sure its difficult to think of but in itself we could have a stuffed chinchompa or a stuffed pawya to show off hunter and even a miniature replica of a agility area for show that requires useing the agility course 100 times first.
7. More dungion creatures. A magical creature or two would be nice not to mention more ranged based creatures would be nice like water and ice elementals or even more unique monsters like giant zombies. Since the picking of creatures are very limited for people when building it would be of the most e=benifit for a dungion.
8. Cheaper costs. Yes i know jagex doesn't control the ge but if they could make rooms and more possibly the monsters and traps cheaper it would benefit everyone.
9. More portal destinations. Ape atoll would be nice for people that have completed monkey madness to go and train while a possibility of a portal into the wilderness but into a special non pvp house of a wizard would be nice as a chance for people to go there without being killed imedietly even if its probably a very bad idea but while in the house being able to teleport. Trollheim would also be very great especially for those that wish to reach the god wars dungion very quickly. The lunar spells also have a large amount of spells that would be very useful like the fishing guild or even lunar island and port khazard.
10. Cheaper building materials. The magic stone is expensive but understandable but the gold leaf and most importenly the marble block could use a severe price reduction and even the cost for plants could use a small reduction.
11. A clan room. A vexillium stand wher e u permanently place a vexillium for as long as u are in it and even a clan cloak case not to mention a few stylish chairs and a strategy table with a battle plan on it or even a handy miniature citadel model and even a bourd on the wall to say the citadel tier and what plots there are.
12. More house locations. Morytania or camelot.

A year or two ago I would have objected to many of Edge Dino's suggestions, but after living with the lodestones a while and seeing how they impact newer players it just highlights the lack of attention construction has had in recent years. I support this thread and also encourage people to check out Gondolin Sun's thread at 74-75-269-64064698 to show your support for at least updating the already existing methods of construction. This skill was not only my second 99, it was the reason I became a member in 2006 and have been ever since. I have been watching and waiting for years while talks of updating it have come and gone. I *now there are other players who feel the same.

I support this, i also would like it if Jagex added something that would make you money AND give construction exp because all skill have a way to make money and train the skill. Some skills give more then the other, but all skills **cept construction are trainable with making money

I was just training construction today and noticed.....wow it's incredibly outdated.
My suggestion is making the rooms longer. It's called a quest hall, but it's what...5x5?

This may be a bit negative but is needed to be said of why jagex wouldn't use these ideas.
1. a bank- sure it seems nice but it would also make the skill way to easy to train not to mention it would be strange.
2. fairy ring- nice and all but wouldn't work as well if you thought about it since each fairy ring requires a unique code and there r thousands of houses but thats its only flaw.
3. garden- i have even agreed a bit on that being in the house but it wouldn't work with the current room dimensions.
But these r only a few and am sure there are more but this is what it is even if they are nice ideas.

Construction could also be used for jobs like bring me 5000 oak chairs (which are untreadeable and require eg 2 oak planks and 5 steel nails or something) and i will give you 650k cash.
The chairs could also be treadeable and ofcourse many other stuff. It would be made on a special work table introduced all over the world map or at your house. This could be a way to make money with construction.
Something else that i would like to see is like weekly projects who anyone can participate to make cool buildings in different areas. The building can also collapse if it is not stable enough so you will need to combine the everyones intelligence to make a great building. You should be able to make everything you want in the building as long as it does not collapse. You can make a bank, but you will have to hire a banker for a whole lot of money per hour so you cant make immense profit from it. I personally think there should not be a banker.
At you house you should also have more space for different buildings that you can design yourself but that can also collapse and youll have to start all over again. When the house is finished you will get a great amount of exp depending on the time worked on it and how high level the things are that you made.
You could also be able to buy someone else's building, it will be freaking expencive. You will also need the same construction level as the highest level thing of the building and you will also need a high magic level to transport it to you house.
For new buildings, you will also need to buy ground to place your buildings. Which also is expensive.
There are also companys who will want to buy your buildings, if you ask them. This will be less profitable then selling to other players.
If you want to start making buildings you should finish a quest that teaches you how to make houses and ofcourse has its own storyline.

Sorry if bad english, i am dutch
