In Old School RuneScape (OSRS), boosting your Construction level lets you build better things in your player-owned house. Here are some ways to temporarily raise your Construction level heading into 2025:

1. Crystal Saw

• Boost Amount: +3 (invisible boost)

• How to Get It: Complete the quest "The Eyes of Glouphrie" to receive the Crystal Saw.

• Important Note: This boost only works when building furniture that requires a saw; it doesn't apply to building new rooms or planting in the garden.

2. Spicy Stew (Orange Spice)

• Boost Amount: Randomly between -5 and +5

• How to Get It:

  • Complete the "Evil Dave" subquest in "Recipe for Disaster."

  • Add up to 3 doses of orange spice to a stew.

• Important Note: The effect is random; it can either increase or decrease your Construction level.

3. Cup of Tea

• Boost Amount:

  • Clay Cup: +1

  • Porcelain Cup: +2

  • Trimmed Porcelain Cup: +3

• How to Get It:

  • Brew tea in your player-owned house kitchen.

  • Use the appropriate shelves to make the desired cup of tea.

• Important Note: These teas can only be made and consumed within your player-owned house.

4. Construction Cape

• Boost Amount: +1

• How to Get It: Achieve level 99 in Construction and purchase the cape from an Estate Agent for 99,000 coins.

• Best For: Provides a convenient +1 boost when needed.

Extra Tips

• Combining Boosts: You can combine the Crystal Saw (+3) with a Cup of Tea (up to +3) for a total boost of up to +6, allowing you to build higher-level furniture without permanently having the required Construction level.

• Plan Ahead: Use these boosts strategically to build specific items or rooms that require higher Construction levels.

And that’s it. Happy building!
