Tips
- If you are making your own planks from logs hire the butler at level 40 for 5,000gp. After awhile he will ask for another 5,000gp to make him keep working, pay him as it will save major time rather than running to the sawmill.
- Build your workshop next to your portal to get to your workbench quickly.
- If you want to get fast teaks and mahogany logs move your house to Brimhaven (level 40 construction required).
- If you want to get to your bank the fastest move your house to Yanille (level 50 construction required).

Mining Limestone
Limestone can be mined just west of the Morytania Temple. Mining a limestone gives 26.5 exp and 6 exp when crafted into a brick.
There are three main ways to get to the limestone mine:
1. First, Walk or run from Varrock to the mine and back again (no requirements).
2. Second, Walk or run from the Canifis bank through the underground temple and to the mine and back again, same speed as Varrock way (Priest in Peril Quest required).
3. Third, Walk or run to the mine then either Ancient Magicks (Desert Treasure Quest required) teleport to Canifis and/or use the agility short cut (65 Agility required, agility potions do not work) to get to the Canifis bank and back again.
