If you want to max out your Construction skill, you'll still want to do a bit of prep work. Gathering materials in Runescape: Dragonwilds is super easy once you get the right spells, and you can bypass some of the game's limitations too with a few handy tricks. Here's a quick guide on how to level Construction up fast.

The Bone Pickaxe is unlocked early in RuneScape: Dragonwilds, but players can't figure out how to upgrade the Stone Axe to a Bone Axe.

Best Way to Level Up Construction in Runescape: Dragonwilds

You can get Construction XP by building just about anything, which means one thing — if you want to level up Construction fast, all you need to do is build a ton of one thing over and over again. There are a few things to know about this, though.

First, the amount of XP you gain differs from one item to another, so in order to maximize your XP gains, you'll want to find and build a recipe that rewards more XP than others. Recipes that use higher-grade materials tend to reward more XP.

Second, you will eventually stop getting XP after building one specific item too many times. This means that if you build 20 Crafting Tables, for example, you won't get any more XP from the 21st table and beyond, even if you dismantle all the other ones you've built.

For this XP farm, all you need to do are these simple steps:

  1. Find a flat building area (to avoid structure instability
  2. Gather Ash Logs (100 should suffice).
  3. Start building as many Crafting Tables as you can.
  4. Dismantle all the Crafting Tables and pick up all the resources.
  5. Build something else.

This is the very basic Construction XP farm in Runescape: Dragonwilds. It's good for players who have just started out, and even if you're already leveled up, this should be a good way to squeeze some extra XP. However, if you want to supercharge your XP gains, do the following:

  1. Build a Sawmill.
  2. Craft Ash Planks (around 150 should do).
  3. Build Chairs.
  4. Dismantle all the Chairs and pick up the resources.
  5. Quit to the main menu.
  6. Load back into your world.
  7. Repeat.

Quitting back to the main menu resets the cooldown for Construction XP gains immediately. By doing this, you won't have to bother with building other things that give less XP.

The simple Chair, which requires Ash Planks to build, gives 40 XP. You can unlock it fairly early on by leveling your Construction skill, and they're very easy to make too. Spam this, and you'll level up your Construction skill in no time.
