Introduction


Woodcutting is a skill used to chop logs from trees. These logs can be used for Firemaking, Fletching, or possibly Construction. Simply click on a tree to chop it down. However, you will need to have the necessary hatchet in your inventory or toolbelt and a minimum Woodcutting level. You can add a hatchet to your toolbelt. If you do not meet the woodcutting requirement of the hatchet, it will act as the highest level hatchet you can use.

== Training and locations ==

I will follow this up where and what u can train on from levels 1 to 99. Starting with free to play and finishing it up with members only methods. I will however make one exception to this rule regarding 1 method:

Clan Citadel training plot: Levels: 1 - 99 (members only)

This is obviously the best method to train woodcutting since it gives up to 96.5k experience an hour and helps out your clan while you are at it. Also fairly afk no need to move around. All in all great to do for both your clan and yourself.

An additional benefit of collecting resources in a clan citadel is that it makes the player eligible to receive bonus experience from their clan's Quartermaster.



- Free to play methods

Detailed Woodcutting Guide Tree10- Normal Tree Levels: 1 - 15 / 25 experience
This is what everybody starts on. This gives the only type of logs that can be used to Fletch arrow shafts. Regular trees are also seen around the world in three other different varieties. 'Dead' Trees, 'Dying Trees,' and 'Evergreen' Trees. They give the same Exp as normal trees except some dead trees in the Wilderness give Charcoal instead of logs. Look for dense forests as these will be the most efficient locations.

== Helpful items ==

- Woodcutting Urns


Urns collect woodchips while you are woodcutting which can eventually be teleported away for free experience once it is filled. There are four different woodcutting urns. Each urn requires a different crafting level to make and will give a different amount of experience when you fill it up and teleport it away. Chopping higher level trees will fill the urn faster than lower level trees, but the experience for teleporting the urn away is the same regardless of what fills it up.

Before you can start filling an urn, you need to activate it with an earth rune. Adding the rune requires the same crafting level as making the urn. You can have up to ten non-empty urns in your bank at once. This includes partially filled urns, completely filled urns and anything in between. You can check the level of your urn by right-clicking the urn in your inventory and choosing the Check-level option. It will also give you a message once it is 1/4 full, 1/2 full, 3/4 full or completely full.

== The Sawmill == (Members only)

- Location:
The Sawmill is connected to the south-east corner of the Lumberyard in Varrock, directly east of the Sawmill Operator's shed.

Experienced Woodcutters can earn fast experience working at the Sawmill by completing various Sawmill Jobs. Level 80 Woodcutting and a saw are required. Free saws are available from a crate at the Sawmill. A crystal saw works faster, provides double experience for cutting planks, and no charges are consumed in the process.

Operating the sawmill is fairly straightforward, but for more specific information, i would recommend checking out a specific guide towards for The sawmill in general.





== Jadinko Lair == (Members only)


The Jadinko Lair lies in the south-east corner of Karamja, to the east and across the waterfall from Shilo Village. Grab your hatchet and venture beneath the surface to find a lair filled with your target, jade roots. These roots hang from the ceiling, curling and uncurling randomly. The position the roots hang determine the kind of root you'll receive when you cut them. Both types of root will give you the same experience per cut, but will yield different types of roots with different uses. A third type of root, mutated, can also be cut. There are fewer of these roots available, but they give more experience per cut than the other two root types.

Detailed Woodcutting Guide Straig10- Straight roots Level: 83 161.6 experience
Requires two cuts to fully sever the root, with each cut giving 80.8 experience. Four roots are received upon fully cutting. Used in the Fletching skill.

Requires two cuts to fully sever the root, with each cut giving 80.8 experience. Four roots are received upon fully cutting. Used in the Firemaking skill.
Detailed Woodcutting Guide Mutate10- Mutated roots Level: 83 140 experience
Does not require two cuts like the other vines, exp is per one cut. Cutting mutated roots will yield several Mutated Vines, which stack, unlike the other two root types. These vines can be attached to Sagaie Shafts to create Sagaie, or strung between Excrescences to make a pair of Bolas




== Skill mastery ==


- Cape of achievement

Once you have mastered the skill and reached level 99 you may want to buy a Woodcutting cape from Wilfred. If you already have another 99 skill, or obtain another one while wearing the cape (unless you have it keepsaked), it will become a Woodcutting cape (t).


- Gatherer's part

After obtaining 99 Woodcutting it becomes possible to obtain a Wooden shard randomly, which can be combined with other shards from the other gathering skills (Divination, Farming, Fishing, Hunter, Mining) to create a Gatherer's cape and Gatherer's hood. The cape has the same stats as a trimmed skill cape and the helm is purely cosmetic.


- True Woodcutting mastery

Achieving 99 is the ultimate goal for many players, however the skill does not stop there. For players wanting to show off their dedication to a skill it is possible to obtain "True Mastery" by obtaining "120 Woodcutting" which is 104,273,167 XP. The Woodcutting master cape can then be purchased from Wilfred.
