Plank


 * This article is about the item made from ordinary logs. For information on the various planks available, see Planks.

A Plank is a construction item and is used in many quests. Most items in Construction which use planks also use nails. Construction is Pay-to-play, The generic "plank" is the only Free-to-play item of the 4 different planks.

Construction

Tip
If you have use of the Balloon transport system you can use it to make Planks quickly. Start at Castle Wars, using the Bank chest, and use the balloons to travel between there and the Varrock Sawmill. Due to weight restrictions you can only carry about 18 logs to be made into planks at a time (in addition to the money needed to make the planks, and the Maple and Yew logs needed for the balloons). If you have Boots of lightness you can carry about 20 Logs at a time. Using a spotted cape or a spottier cape will allow you to carry the full 25 logs.

Trivia

 * Prior to the introduction of the Construction skill, a plank was mainly a quest-related item and generally had a relatively low street value.
 * Unless players purchase planks from a member or from a player who has completed the Dragon Slayer quest, F2P players can only obtain planks from the wilderness respawn locations. This was a common player-killing spot, due to a steady traffic of players attempting to complete the Dragon Slayer quest, including a number of players who generally avoided player killing areas and were unfamiliar with the tactics in the wilderness.
