Carpentry

Carpentry is a crafting skill. You saw logs from Woodcutting into planks, and make handles, bows, arrows, shields and some tools. Smithing, Masonry and Construction all use planks or handles, and many places need planks to be rebuilt.

How to train

Start with Saw pine plank at level 1. New activities open as you level up: see the table below.
Tool: Copper saw (+15% speed, made with Smithing). Better ones: Iron saw (+20%), Cobalt saw (+30%).
Potion: Carpenter's potion (10% chance to spare materials, made with Medicine).

"Sells for" is what one action's items sell for, at the level the activity opens, before bonuses. Every skill uses the same XP table: see Levels and XP.

Mastery

Each of the 40 Carpentry activities has its own mastery level, from 1 to 99. Every completed action gives that activity mastery XP, and higher mastery makes the activity better (table below).

A quarter of that mastery XP (half once Carpentry is level 99) also goes into the Carpentry mastery pool, which holds up to 37,000,000 XP. You can spend pool XP on any Carpentry activity: 1 pool XP gives 1 mastery XP. See Mastery for the exact numbers.

Each activity's own mastery

Activity mastery	Adds to that activity
10	+5% chance to spare materials (or arrows)
20	+5 points high-quality chance
30	+5% chance to spare materials (or arrows)
40	+5 points high-quality chance
50	+5% chance to spare materials (or arrows)
60	+5 points high-quality chance
70	+5% chance to spare materials (or arrows)
80	+5 points high-quality chance
90	+5% chance to spare materials (or arrows)
99	+10% sell price on the items it makes, +10% chance to spare materials (or arrows)

Pool checkpoints

While the pool is filled to a checkpoint or above, its bonus counts for every Carpentry activity. If you spend the pool below a checkpoint, that bonus stops until the pool fills up again.

Pool filled	Pool XP	Adds to every activity of the skill
10%	3,700,000	+5% mastery XP
25%	9,250,000	+10% XP
50%	18,500,000	+5% speed
95%	35,150,000	+10% chance to spare materials (or arrows)
