Pay-to-play Woodcutting training

This guide is for training the Woodcutting skill.

Level 1 through 15
Players can start off by buying an Iron Axe from Bob's Brilliant Axes in Lumbridge. As the most abundant of all tree varieties in Runescape, players can begin training almost anywhere. Many surround the goblin house in Lumbridge, the jail in Port Sarmin, or all around Draynor Manor.

Players should cut trees until they reach level 20. Training at Draynor Village, which is surrounded by many trees and has an easy access bank, is highly recommended. To save time on bank trips, a knife can be carried to fletch the logs into arrow shafts, since they stack in the inventory. Players interested in making a profit should bank all of their logs, and sell them in bulk for about 160 each. If not, they can be stored for training Firemaking. At level 6 Woodcutting, head to Bob's Brilliants Axes in Lumbridge to buy a steel axe, which will cut trees more quickly.

Level 15 through 30
Players can cut oak trees. A good spot is east of Draynor Village's bank. Low level players should be careful here, as level 26 Jail Guards patrol the area. The area with 3 oak trees west of Varrock, near the west bank, is a good choice for lower levelled players. It is right next to a bank, so players can chop, bank, and then sell the logs. Other places are southwest of Varrock and northwest of Lumbridge and Seers' Village.

Fast Experience - Willows (30-99)
Players can cut willow trees. While it is a long time until players start cutting yews, it is recommended they stay with willows as the logs are given at a quick experience rate compared to other trees.


 * A good spot is beside Draynor Village's bank, as there are 5 willow trees there, though it is often crowded during the day.


 * If banking is not desired, good willow tree spots are also in northeast Port Sarim, south of Rimmington, or north of Lumbridge. They should switch to yews at around level 80.


 * The willows outside of Barbarian Assault is an ideal spot!

Fast Experience - Teaks (35-99)
Teak trees are the fastest experience to 99. By powercutting Teak south from Castle Wars, you can get up to 100k/hr  xp.

Maple Logs (45-99)
Maple trees can be located in Seers' Village. Behind Seer's village bank are 4 maples making it the best spot for maples. Maples are 100 XP each.

Money Making - Yews (80-90)
At level 80, players can cut yew trees at a decent rate. Players should not start cutting yews at level 60 is because of the extremely slow rate at which the logs are obtained. Good spots are


 * behind Varrock Palace and by the entrance of the Edgeville dungeon.


 * There are four yew trees west of Rimmington, but they are a long distance from a bank, which does not make the spot very popular.


 * There are also 2 yew trees south of the Falador east bank.


 * Three yew trees are very close to the bank in the Gnome Stronghold. These trees are also fairly close to the bank as well.


 * When you are going to move to Yews, simply walk south of the Seer's village bank and there will be the best spot for Yews in a gated area.

Money Making - Magic Trees (90-99)
Once players reach 75 Woodcutting, magic trees and logs will now be an option, although cutting them will be incredibly slow at this level. The most convenient place to cut them is south of the yew trees in Seer's Village, with a total of seven in the vicinity of the Sorcerer's Tower. Another option is the three magic trees just west of the Tree Gnome Stronghold's bank. Both of these areas tend to be crowded. Cutting these trees provides the least experience-per-hour, but their logs are the most profitable of all.
