A shared island

Homes stand together in the world. Walk past a neighbour’s garden, visit an open house, or keep your door private. Take the free boat from Lumbridge or travel through the city Rift network. Return home with your hearthstone.

Build something personal

Place, rotate, move and pack furniture. Build mode previews each piece, protects doorways and keeps rooms reachable. Packed furniture can be rebuilt from storage without paying the materials again.

Speak to the Steward to buy or move. You can own one home per account; moving credits the old deed’s full price toward the new one. After 60 days of inactivity, the home returns to the island and its furniture goes into storage.

Open the full Construction guide and catalogue

From gathered materials to finished rooms.

Start building: Construction materials, recipes, homes and building activities are now available. Take logs and coins to the Lumbridge sawmill or Halcyon Isle’s Carpenter’s Yard, then use the benches, anvil and kiln to make what your plans need.

Your other skills supply the workshop: logs become planks, bars become fittings, and clay, wool and glass become a home.

Saw logs into planks. Local Workbench gameplay capture.
Fire tiles and bricks in the kiln. Local Workbench gameplay capture.

Visit the sawmill behind Lumbridge’s general store, or the Carpenter’s Yard on Halcyon Isle. Use a saw at the bench or pay the Sawyer to process logs. Smith fittings at an anvil, craft at the workbench, and fuel the kiln with logs. The commission board offers three orders suited to your level, so you can train before owning a home.

At Magic level 60, Plank Make turns a log into a plank for one nature rune and two earth runes, granting 50 base Magic XP. You also need the Construction level required by that kind of plank.

Construction has 97 pieces spanning levels 1–99. Incense gives a temporary building-XP bonus, and level 99 unlocks the Master Builder title.

Put your achievements on show.

Give your collection a place in the world: armour stands, cape racks, display cases and pedestals hold real items.

Fixes and a quieter visual default.

Bestiary stays open when you ask

Opening the Bestiary from a nearby NPC now keeps the panel open. The click that opened it is consumed, so it cannot immediately dismiss the panel. Clicking outside or switching tabs still closes it as expected.

More time to resume a fight

Ordinary non-boss NPCs in the Slayer roster now wait 60 seconds of quiet before recovery. This increases the previous 9-second window. Boss recovery and the existing poison, projectile and ownership safeguards are preserved.

Refined visuals starts off by default. Existing saved preferences are kept; turn it on whenever you prefer its shading.

About this release

Wisp’s Garden, Construction, the Max cape and the fixes described here are live in New horizons. This release is available through desktop, browser and the direct Android download.

Construction images and clips were recorded through the local AI Workbench and voidbot with supplied materials and setup accounts. Wisp’s later celebration and journal images are fixtures. The Flame image uses controlled elapsed-frame holds. These labels describe how the visuals were made.
