So I'm 80 construction and I just hit 83 farming. I think I can start building my endgame house at 83 con, with boosts that will have everything I need right? I'm not sure what the best route will be, I only really have a portal in my house. Any best setup to go for?

I havent played in a long while i remember building oak dungeon doors, is this still a good option? I'm not rich by any means so i will be looking for the most cost effective way to go. I tried looking up guides but it's a bit confusing with everything having a wide variety of opinions.

Can anyone help clear this up for me please? Thanks ! I probably shouldn't spend my last of money on this but I would love to just be able to teleport home and do everything instead of using world 330 lol.

Technically 84 construction if you want the best portal nexus (holds the most number of teleports)

As far as experience, it really depends if you want fast expensive or slower more affordable.

Fastest experience is probably mahogany tables
Decent mix of experience and cost savings would probably be mounted mythical capes (only uses 3 planks at a time though so it’s very annoying IMO
Slower experience but huge cost savings (in my opinion) would be doing mahogany homes mini game.

It’s been a long time since I’ve done the mini game but I did it when it first came out to get 83 construction on my iron man and I was getting somewhere around 200-250k exp per hour and you use a lot less planks and it’s not just clicking over and over again. You actually teleport around and run around instead of just zooming in as far as you can and clicking constantly

Up to you how to you want to handle it though

Oh wow I honestly didnt know there was a minigame. I'll have to check it out. What if I built the second best portal nexus and wanted to upgrade to the best , would I have to delete it and start all over or is there a upgrade option?

I def need to find the cheapest yet still effective method so I'll look Into the ones you posted, thanks !

Edit: the calc says normal, oak, etc.. planks and then has the options below but only a few have their own separate cost. Does this mean that the price of oak will stay the same regardless of what I do? So if I do oak I want to do the fastest because it's a set price to level regardless?

Yeah you can upgrade your portal nexus as you get the appropriate level. In fact you have to build the previous version to build the next version. So you wouldn’t be losing out on anything.

Correct. Construction gives exp based on the type of plank used. You get the same exp per plank no matter what you build with the exception of mounted mythical capes. Normal planks are 29 exp per plank oak are 60 exp per plank teak are 90 exp per plank mahogany are 140 exp per plank.

Making mounted mythical capes are 123 exp per teak plank but you only use 3 at a time

I was 84 with boosts I think to make that portal nexus, I didn't added all of the teleports as some of them I see as useless like west Ardougne, they shafted me on that sematary teleport when hey changed it over.
Can I teleport from my cape rack without putting the cape in inventory?

Yeah I think I can get everything with 83 con, except the best portal which I dont need. I just want all the main things to slayer, boss, and skill easier. Using the teleport runes it's only like 135gp each teleport. I'm pretty sure i can still get all the main ones on the 2nd best teleport. Im almost 81 con, been doing mahogany homes I actually don't mind it. Way less clicking/Intense.

I have no clue, I dont know anything about the Cape rack haha. I assumed you would deposit the Cape into the rack.

Edit: I still need to find the best setup to have @ 83 con with boosts to have everything optimal. I know I cant have the fairy spirit tree and such.

Fairy ring and tree are big, you gotta boost for them and that can take a long time, the point of having the teleport nexus is so you only have to carry home teleport tabs or runes in the pouch, but I guess you can use combo runes and stay on the standard spell book for those teleports.
I just carry teleport to house tabs, I think It doesn't make sense to get all the teleports at the nexus when you can just buy teleport tabs for when you are going to rarely go there I guess so you can get by with the lesser portal nexus I suppose.
Have teleports like lumbridge, falador, ardougne, kourend castle, and a few from the other spellbooks, then just buy teleport tabs for the others as you won't use that many teleports to places like that.
The spirit tree gives lots of coverage so does the fairy rings so I'd boost to get those. After each failed boots you have to go back to ferox enclave and reset you're stats, stacking boosts doesn't work I'm pretty sure you can't roll a +4 then add a +1 or something like that I've wasted plenty of spices figuring that out.
Are you getting the dark alter to change spell books?

Oh wow I had no idea. I thought you got the same boost everytime, i.e. easy to boost. I guess I will have to look into it just got 82 construction, I think I can stop after 83 if I boost right. And yes I was planning on getting the dark alter, I want to be able to do everything in my house lol. Trying to build a end game house.

Yeah If you need the levels plan out the boosts accordingly I think I had to do like two things when I finally got that +5 boost, Getting that boost can be frustrating its such a small chance like 1 in 20-30 so you might have to go back and get more spices. The crystal saw boost construction levels too don't forget about that.
