A crystal saw is an item made from a small crystal seed by invoking the singing bowl in Brimstail's cave in the Tree Gnome Stronghold. The seed is awarded to players who complete The Eyes of Glouphrie quest.
The saw adds a hidden +3 bonus to the player's Construction skill. This allows the player to construct items as if their Construction level were higher by 3, although this advantage is not applicable when constructing things that do not require a saw, such as monsters, plants, or rooms. This bonus is stackable with drinking teas and spicy stews that already boost this skill, only for objects requiring a saw to make.
Once the saw has been used to construct 28 items, it reverts to its seed form where it will need to be re-enchanted by returning to Brimstail's cave. With the completion of Roving Elves, Ilfeen is also able to recharge this seed.
If a player has both a normal saw and a crystal saw in their inventory when building furniture, the crystal saw will be used and a charge will be deducted, even if the player has the requisite Construction level for the piece of furniture and does not need the crystal saw's boost.
The Crystal saw can also be used in the Sawmill training area in place of a regular saw. This will not use any of its charges and gives double experience when creating the required planks (however, it will not double the reward for the completion of a job). This can give around 100k experience in an hour.
If you lose or destroy the saw, you can get it back by talking to Brimstail in his cave.
Brimstail will not give you a seed if you have either the seed, saw, or Crystal chimes in your bank or inventory.
Trivia
- It was once possible to obtain multiple crystal saws when The Path of Glouphrie was released. The crystal saw's properties were the same as The Eyes of Glouphrie's crystal seed. A player could use the seed to create another crystal saw in Brimstail's cave. After the player used the seed Brimstail would give them another seed, with a conversation claiming that the player 'lost' the seed. This could be repeated multiple times. However, Jagex removed this glitch a few weeks after the quest's release.
- Even if you have a normal saw in your inventory, you will always use the crystal saw.
