Runescape Guide-3.1.8.Woodcutting
Wednesday, March 31st, 2010Many people are beginning to level up their woodcutting level since RS Beta came
out. The cause of this is because non-members can now chop down oak, willow, and yew
trees instead of just normal trees, and that the process of cutting down trees is kind of like
fishing. You just have to click one time on a tree and your character will continue on
chopping at the tree until it has fallen down (normal trees will only give 1 set of logs until it
will fall down). You need a hatchet (axe) to chop down trees. The better the hatchet you
wield, the higher the rate of chopping down trees you’ll get.

Basically, the higher your attack level is the higher the quality of hatchets you’ll be
able to wield. Anyways, chop down normal trees until level 20. Then, chop down some
oaks until level 35. Now you can start chopping down willows. At level 60, you can get
some yews and sell them for a good price of around 200gps.

Tips
~~~~
- Wield the best type of hatchet possible. Better hatchets will give you a faster rate of
chopping down trees.
- Make sure that you are supervising your character when he/she is woodcutting because
sometimes your axe head will break off and land some few paces away. If you don’t pick
up your axe head in time, then other players will be able to get it. I’ve lost a few rune axe
heads because of my carelessness.
- Willows are considered the best solution to power woodcut after level 30 and up
because they give a decent amount of exp and not very long to obtain.
- If you want to make money chopping down willows in a free server world, then woodcut
at the willow trees in Draynor Village. There is a bank nearby so you can deposit the
willows whenever you want. Willows sell for around 20-30gps. The reason why willows are
of value is because they are needed in fletching.
- If you just want to level up your woodcutting exp but don’t want to profit any money off of
it, then woodcut at a location where no one goes to. Willow trees are usually located at the
shore of a land. In f2p servers, there is a spot west of Port Sarim where several willow
trees are. After you have a full inventory of logs then drop them on the ground or light
them up with a tinderbox to get both woodcutting and firemaking exp.
