Found a thread that had some good ideas for construction updates, I posted a quick find code for this thread over there, so I'm posting a code for that thread here. Quick find code: 74-75-782-65840921 Revitalization requires integration. See the Possibilities!

support, construction is just a money sink, with zero profitability, and little use for PoHs beyond gilded alters and menageries. carpentry is a profession, it is a skill worthy of profitability and functionality beyond a lonely instance.

Would be nice if they at least took a first step, and made some of the animations a bit more 'up to date'. Feels kinda weird having my character with lovely breathing animations suddenly spazz into a chair, or fling their arms around when creating flat packs...

Does feel slightly nostalgic though. :)

Construction does seem like it could use a few updates, yeah. Based on what people have mentioned and off the top of my head, some practical updates would probably include at least some of the following:

More Teleport Options
- There's little reason not to add every possible teleport spell to the Portal room. Sounds like something that just needs to be updated.

- The Fairy Ring in the garden (or Formal Garden) seems popular.

- Ironically, there is no Home teleport that actually leads to your house. I don't think it'd be unbalanced at all to be able to build a lodestone in a garden, considering that there are house portals (Yanille, Taverley) that are right next to lodestones anyway.

- There are a number of item-teleports that are underused because you have to withdraw them from your bank and equip them. Being able to build items similar to the Amulet of Glory mount, but for different items (Digsite amulet, etc...) would breathe some new life into them.

More Skill Applications
- Add a farming patch to a garden or design a new type of room specifically designed for farming (call it a farming plot, greenhouse, etc...). If this seems unbalanced, just limit the amount of farming spots that can be built.

- Agility training could be implemented in the form of a Gym to make your own Agility course. Maybe even add a bonus for multiple people using a course at once or using another player's course to encourage socialization.

- A Forge for smithing isn't unreasonable I think. There are already furnaces and anvils close to banks, and you would still need the raw materials to use them.

- Allow building of an inventor's workbench in the workshop. I don't know much about Invention and how balanced this would be, but it seems like a popular idea.

- On the note of Invention, another option is a Laboratory which could offer more specialized applications to other skills on top of the workbench.

Overall, just some concepts that might make Con more relevant.

It's good to see the old thread alive and well. It's not so good the thread started in 2011 (!) and besides the aquarium no major updates have happened! Loads of good ideas, too bad they're getting buried so it's hard to see all what's already suggested.

I know Jagex said they want to make a total rework of the POH/construction. For myself I don't WANT a total rework! I'd like the house updated, is all. If Jagex want to add other features than the house to the construction skill I'm all for that but the core house I want left more or less intact.

Some thoughts (may already been suggested, sorry about that): We need light! After allowing players to set time of day the house need light sources. Wall plaques could be rebuild into wall sconces and an overhead light installed where possible. Ambient light could be supplied by building a light switch - no lamp graphics, just light.

The teleport chamber is good, the locations mainly crap.

Would like to see an Universal Lectern in the study allowing us to make ALL the magic tablets. Made of marble or magic stone and a substantially higher skill level (80+) than the 67 for the mahogany demon/eagle.

I could go on! :)

Bump!
You peer into a Chapel of Zamorak, which appears to be abandoned. Before you can close the doors again, a Revenant Chaos-Bringer flies at you and slays you instantly with a bolt of Shadow Lightning. Oh dear! You are dead!
