Construction Rework
Hello Scapers,
straight to the point. I really like the basic idea behind construction. Building a house with different rooms that may give you advantages ingame and awesome looking interiour for „fashionscapers“ sounds like a very fun skill.
But in reality i see some
problems
with the construction skill:
The most common way to train construction back in the day was building mahogany tables. I mean building 50.000 of the same item by constantly removing and building it makes the whole construction skill very monotonous. Also it was very clickintensive. Yes you can build other items too but for people who want the best xp they have to go that way.
With the introduction of portables you dont even train construction in your house anymore. Portables turn the skill into something generic like cooking or firemaking. You use item X and use it with a portable to get the best xp per hour while saving planks and getting bonus xp for afking.
I personally never used my house for anything because there is no room that gives you an actual benefit over something else already existing in game.
Possible solutions and ideas for the construction skill:
crystal plank:
- only useable inside of your house (outside gives 20% less xp)
- made by combining mahogany planks with some sort of crystal paint that you can gather from woodcuting or the sawmill
Building rooms:
- You start building an actual part of your house there are different stages like
Stage 1 foundation
Stage 2 Floor
Stage 3 Walls
Stage 4 Ceiling
Stage 5 Roof
Each stage takes a specific amount of items to build.
For example the foundations requires you to use 50 blocks of granite. The Walls 1000 Sandstones or something like this. It takes very long to finish a stage. After you finish a stage you get a big chunk of xp.
New room ideas:

(you can display skillcapes, Max, Comp, etc. Pets in showcases like the museum in varrock)
