When Oldschool OSRS Gold was released on February 22nd 2013, the construction ability was handicapped. You couldn't buy a house you couldn't gain experience. You also could not use lamps on building. This was done since the mods needed to take some time to ensure that the skill was bug-free. The code to get POH was quite intricate and had attracted many accidental glitches previously. So rather than delaying the game's release, they opted to release it lock some bits of articles that needed Barbarian Assault, those building ability, a little more work and Slug Menace pursuit.
For the first few days of OSRS, the players on top of the construction highscores were flat 1, with 0 expertise. But on March 2nd, a player found a way to get around that. He guessed that the amount 5 construction necessary for Hallowvale's pursuit Darkness was boostable. To boost to level 5, he utilized spicy stews. This pursuit rewards you with experience that is 2k, so he moved from level 1. Together with his degree 13 structure, the player managed to begin and finished a few more quests because they needed structure levels that were formerly locked.
The Eyes of Glouphrie needed a degree 5 necessity and gave 250 experience. Tower of Life gave expertise and needed a degree 10 necessity. The Fremennik Isles had a degree 20 necessity and gave a expertise benefit. Other players quickly realized how his experience was being gained by MF Greg and began to catch up. Most notably, B0aty was to follow this route and he sat at the top 10. Overall with this questing method/oversight, players were able to achieve up to level 25 structure (thanks to /u/ImDanny123 for the info). The skill was formally released on March 5th, so 3 days after.
To follow this building tidbits. Beserkpriest was the first player to have a alter, he was also the first to have a open gamers to enter his home. He had been 10 levels before the user"Roy" that was rank 2 at this time. From being rank 1 cash was used by priest. Although he was position 1 in RC'ing for a while after he began building leveling. On his very first day of open house, over 1,200 users in exactly the time used his home to train prayer, including practically all of the top 50 players.
Heur was the first person to achieve 200 million attack encounter, when he achieved 200 million expertise, he was nearly 70 million experience ahead of rank 2. Inside of it AFK training assault when NMZ released nearly all of his in-game time was spent. Mac H has been position 1 in herblore for a while and was the first player. He at one point called shifted to Heisenburg to the at the time popular TV show character in Breaking Bad Walter White. He has since gone back into Mac H, also has a youtube station that covers many intriguing things about RSGoldFast . That's all the useless stuff I remember at this specific moment.
