Gold leaf

A Gold leaf is an item used in Construction. It can be bought from the Stonemason in Keldagrim for 130,000 coins, or it can be purchased on the Grand Exchange for. The lowest level item that can be made with Gold leaf is the Teak chest in a Games room, but not the Dungeon. It is first used at level 44 Construction. When it was first released, players complained that gold bars could not be crushed into gold leaf with any other means, although the complaints died down quickly.

The cheaper alternative is buying the item you want, instead of making it full price - for example, a player may want a gilded clock, but to make one would cost about 140,000 coins. The player may be able to get it from the Grand Exchange for about ) if one is for sale. This may prove difficult for some items, however, taking into account that not all gilded flatpacks are obtainable from Treasure Trails. The flatpacks that cannot be obtained via Treasure Trails can only be bought at close to their construction cost, not to mention the lack of supply.

Additionally, purchasing an item is not a viable alternative to constructing certain items, such as the Gilded altar, because this item cannot be created as a flat pack item and sold on the Grand Exchange.
