Construction - Portal Chamber

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.


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.
