Construction - Portal Chamber

Introduction | Key Features | The Hotspots | The Items

Introduction

A very useful room for transportation becomes available at level 50 Construction: the portal chamber, where you can select and teleport to various locations in RuneScape.

Key Features

A typical portal chamber

Portals are obviously the key in this room. If you build portals, you can then direct the portals by building a focus in the centrepiece square.

There is a cost for these teleportation portals - you must power it by providing 100 x the runes required for the spell. For example, if you want to direct a portal to Camelot, you will need 500 Air runes, and 100 Law runes to power it.

Please note: You will still get Magic experience for directing the portal, but it will only be 5 x the experience for casting, not 100 times.

The advantage of this is that, when it is done, the portal provides infinite teleports for anyone who uses it, so if you and a group of friends wish to leave your house to go to a location, you can all run through the portal and be teleported.

Location	Runes required						Quest Requirement to Build
Varrock*	Law rune	x 100	Air rune	x 300	Fire rune	x 100	None
Lumbridge	Law rune	x 100	Air rune	x 300	Earth rune	x 100	None
Falador	Law rune	x 100	Air rune	x 300	Water rune	x 100	None
Camelot	Law rune	x 100	Air rune	x 500			None
Ardougne	Law rune	x 200	Water rune	x 200			Plague City
Watchtower	Law rune	x 200	Earth rune	x 200			Watchtower
Kharyrll	Law rune	x 200	Blood rune	x 100			Desert Treasure

* If you have completed the Varrock Achievement Diary easy tasks, you can talk to Rat Burgiss to swap your teleport location to a point south of the Grand Exchange. Speak to him again to swap it back to the market.

The higher level centrepiece option is the 'scrying pool'. When built, this has the right-click option 'Scry'. When you click this, you can then select a portal you have built (or the entrance portal to your house). When you have done this, you will be viewing the actual location from your house, so you can see what is going on at that destination, or who is waiting outside your house! You can also move the scrying camera with the cursor keys as normal.
