Mahogany Homes is a rewarding and engaging Construction minigame in Old School RuneScape (OSRS) that offers an alternative to traditional training methods. It allows players to train their Construction skill without spending a fortune buying materials, making it a popular choice for players looking to level up on the cheap. This guide is going to provide you with everything about Mahogany Homes, including the way it works, the rewards, and a few professional tips to make the most of your time.
What is Mahogany Homes OSRS?
Released in 2020, Mahogany Homes is a Construction activity that involves completing home renovation contracts for NPC clients in cities like Falador, Ardougne, Hosidius, and Varrock. Instead of endlessly building oak larders in your player-owned house, you help homeowners repair furniture and complete renovations.
This method gives Construction experience and is more interactive and less expensive than other methods. Plus, you get Carpenter’s Points to spend on exclusive rewards.
How to Start Mahogany Homes
Requirements
You must be at least Construction level 20 to join Mahogany Homes. Higher levels lead to more advanced contracts and rewards.
- Tools and Materials
- Gather the following Tools and Materials Before you begin:
- Steel bars (for nails)
- Planks (normal, oak, teak, or mahogany, based on the contract):
- A saw
- A hammer
Getting Started
Visit Amy in Falador, located just east of the Falador Party Room. She’ll give you a Mahogany Home handbook explaining the process of the mechanics and giving you access to renovation contracts.
How It Works
If you accept a contract, you’ll be assigned to renovate a house for an NPC. These tasks usually involve repairing furniture, replacing door handles, or adding fixtures. Each contract is graded according to materials and effort, and higher-level contracts give more experience and Carpenter’s Points.
After completing a contract, return to the homeowner to receive your rewards. Then you can come back to Amy for another project.
Rewards
Mahogany Homes has a well-balanced reward system. Carpenter’s Points are also earned during Construction. These points can be redeemed for certain rewards such as:
Carpenter’s Outfit: A Construction experience-boosting set that provides a 2.5% bonus when worn.
Hosidius Blueprints: Unlocks a Hosidius-style house design for your player-owned house.
Plank Sack: Allows you to store up to 28 planks for more efficient contracts.
Pro Tips for Efficient Training
Plan Your Route
NPCs are spread out over several cities. Teleports like Ardougne Teleport, Varrock Teleport, and Xeric’s Talisman can speed up travel time.
Bring Extra Materials
Carry a few extra planks and steel bars to avoid unnecessary bank trips during contracts.
Invest in a Plank Sack
This item helps you carry more planks. It’s a good early reward purchase.
Conclusion
Mahogany Homes combines skill-building with fun tasks and real rewards for Training Construction in OSRS. Whether you are a seasoned or new player, this activity can save you money and make the grind more pleasurable.
So, grab your tools, go to Falador, and renovate your way to Construction mastery!
