A player casting the Plank Make spell.

The Plank Make spell will convert one log that can normally be converted at the sawmill into a plank of the same type. It still costs coins but less than the sawmill operator will charge, which is 70% of what it usually charges for all planks. This savings in money is negated by the cost of the spell, which is 822 coins based on GE prices for the Nature and Astral runes (assuming player uses a staff for the Earth runes). Plank Make is a great alternative to train magic and can be faster than High Level Alchemy. However, the need to stay in a bank area may cause players that like to train other skills along with magic to be more attracted to use High Level Alchemy.

On 8 July 2009, the Plank Make spell animation received an update. It now shows the transformation from a log to a plank.

Log Plank Cost in coins
Conversion Sawmill Grand Exchange
Logs Plank 70 100 169
Oak logs Oak plank 175 250 684
Teak logs Teak plank 350 500 1,043
Mahogany logs Mahogany plank 1,050 1,500 2,035

The following table is based upon casting the spell with an Earth staff or equivalent.

Log Current Coin Values Profit/Loss
Logs Runes Direct coin cost of spell Plank
Logs 37 822 70 169 Coins  -760
Oak logs 39 175 684 Coins  -352
Teak logs 204 350 1,043 Coins  -333
Mahogany logs 451 1050 2,035 Coins  -288

Plank Make costs 1257 coins per cast.
Plank Make with earth staff or equivalent costs 822 coins per cast.

As with all Lunar Magicks spells, the quest Lunar Diplomacy must be completed to cast this spell. As well as the completion of Lunar Diplomacy, a player must have also finished Dream Mentor to cast this Spell.


Remember, you cannot use normal Magic or Ancient Magicks spells if you are using Lunar Magicks, except by use of the Spell Book Swap spell.
