Long planks
Long planks are a crafting material used primarily in Old School RuneScape (OSRS) for the construction of various furniture items and for training the Construction skill. Players can obtain long planks by using a saw on logs of any type, which are then turned into planks suitable for construction. It is essential to have a saw in your inventory, which can be obtained from various tools shops or by looting in the game.
To create long planks, players need to find a wood cutting area where they can chop down trees to obtain logs. After gathering sufficient logs, go to a nearby sawmill, which you can find in locations such as Varrock, and interact with the sawmill operator to convert logs into planks. The transformation from log to long plank comes at a cost, with each log being charged a fee at the sawmill, which varies depending on the type of log being processed.
The advantages of long planks lie in their versatility. They are particularly valuable for players training their Construction skill, as they are used to build a wide variety of items in player-owned houses, including walls, floors, and various furniture options like tables, chairs, and storage chests. Long planks are also essential when constructing more complex items, which require a higher level of Construction and result in greater experience rates.
In terms of Construction experience, using long planks tends to yield more experience compared to shorter planks. Players looking to optimize their training may consider the experience per plank and the additional rewards offered by constructing different items. Additionally, the market for long planks can fluctuate based on supply and demand, making it a profitable item for players engaged in both crafting and trading.
Long planks, while needing more resources compared to shorter planks, contribute significantly to the success of players within the game looking to expand their player-owned houses or complete various construction projects. Thus, being well-versed in the resource management and economic aspects of long planks can greatly enhance a player’s experience in OSRS.
