Planks

Planks are items that members use primarily in the Construction skill to make furniture for their houses, along with components for their boats. They are also used in some quests and for repairing fishing cranes, which gives Crafting and Construction experience equal to 4 times the player's current level.

Planks come in seven different varieties, namely normal, oak, teak, mahogany, camphor, ironwood, and rosewood. Planks from other wood types, such as yew or maple, do not exist.

There are a few spawn points for some planks. However, players can only make planks by taking various kinds of logs to the sawmill operator and paying a fee. The fee is different for each type of plank; in general, higher-level furniture requires more expensive planks.

In addition to physically taking logs to the sawmill, players may also send their servant to the sawmill to convert them into planks. The Plank Make spell from the Lunar spellbook may also be used.

With a log basket and plank sack, it is possible to make up to 54 planks per inventory.

One of the most affordable ways to level through the early levels of Construction is by collecting free planks which can be found at various spawn points. See the plank page for a list of spawn locations.

A teak plank spawn can also be accessed using Telekinetic Grab after completion of the Song of the Elves quest.

Planks can also be found sorting salvage from shipwrecks.

The Plank Make spell can be used to create planks for use in construction. This requires a minimum Magic level of 86 and completion of the Lunar Diplomacy and Dream Mentor quests.

The cook, butler, and demon butler servants can also convert unnoted logs into planks. This can be combined with a fast bank teleport to convert a large amount of logs into planks per hour. Alternatively, Phials can be used to unnote logs.

There are 4 sawmills across RuneScape, one located north-east of Varrock, which is accessible to all members, and three that have requirements to access. Sawmills can make logs provided by the player into planks for a fee.

An efficient method to make regular or oak planks is to obtain a full inventory of logs, take them to the Sawmill Operator and turn them into planks, then make a small trek north to the Wilderness and fill a looting bag with the planks and obtain a new inventory to turn into planks, allowing an extra 25 logs per trip.

• Although you can carry 28 items in the looting bag you will have to go to a bank to empty the bag before you can use those planks, as the bag is Deposit Only, so this method is only efficient if you are intending to cut regular/oak trees to take to the sawmill operator after the looting bag is full of planks from your first visit.

Please Note: You cannot fill both the looting bag and your inventory with logs and take them to the sawmill operator as he will only supply you with planks from logs that are in your inventory.

There is a hot-air balloon slightly south of the sawmill that could be used from Castle Wars, requiring completion of Enlightened Journey and having the Varrock route unlocked. Each trip would require a ring of dueling and a willow log.

For those with 99 Crafting, the hot-air balloon just outside the Crafting Guild can be used to travel to the Lumberyard for one willow log, using the Crafting cape to teleport back to the Crafting Guild for quick and easy banking, without additional teleportation costs.

Lumberyard teleports and rings of dueling could also be used to bank faster and return, although this is somewhat expensive.

Another way of getting to the Lumber Yard is using the ring of the elements to teleport to the Earth Altar and walking a short distance north. Combined with a Log basket, Plank sack and a fast bank teleport this is one of the quickest ways of making planks.

Using the Sawmill and bank in the Woodcutting Guild you can create planks very quickly without the need for teleports. This does require 60 Woodcutting for entrance to the guild.

While the Sawmill operator in Prifddinas is a less efficient method of producing planks from previously obtained logs, it can be a very viable way of turning the nearby cut teak or mahogany trees into planks and subsequently banking them.

An effective way is to teleport to the Grand Exchange (Varrock teleport with medium Varrock diary done) and take the spirit tree back to Prifddinas. With use of the plank sack, players can bank up to 600 teak or mahogany planks an hour with this method.

The sawmill operator in Auburnvale is close to a bank, making it a very efficient way to turn previously banked logs into planks. The quickest way to get there is to take the quetzal transport system to Auburnvale. Other ways to get there are to take the fairy ring AIS and run north-west, or use the pendant of ates to teleport to Nemus Retreat and run north. Without a log basket, running between the sawmill operator and the nearby bank, players can expect to make around 6,000 planks an hour. When utilising the plank sack and log basket it is possible to make up to 8,600 planks an hour at maximum efficiency.
