Changes: Free-to-play Woodcutting training

Latest revision as of 10:00, 8 June 2019

Equipment

An axe is required to train Woodcutting. Axes range in quality from bronze to rune, with higher quality axes able to chop trees much faster. It is recommended that you wield your axe if you have the corresponding Attack level, as it opens up an additional space in your inventory for more logs.

Trees

Level		Exp per log
1	Trees	25
15	Oak trees	37.5
30	Willow trees	67.5
45	Maple trees	100
60	Yew trees	175

Levels 1-99

Levels 1-15 – Trees

The only way to get from level 1 to level 15 is by cutting trees, which grant 25 experience per log.

Trees can be found throughout Gielinor.

Starting experience - 0
Experience needed - 2,411
Logs needed - 97 (2,425 experience)

Levels 15-30 – Oak trees

At level 15, it is recommended that players switch to cutting oak trees, which grant 37.5 experience per log.

Oak trees can be found throughout Gielinor. Lumbridge has a couple good spots for oak trees, including the castle grounds (2 trees) and behind the General Store (2 trees).

Starting experience - 2,425
Experience needed - 10,938
Oak logs needed - 292 (10,950 experience)

Levels 30-99 – Willow trees

At level 30, it is recommended that players switch to cutting willow trees, which grant 67.5 experience per log.

Expect to see 35% higher woodcutting xp/h over maple trees, however these are less afk due to the faster chop speed.

The best places to chop willow trees are south-west of the bank in Draynor Village (5 trees). If you don't require a bank, there are willow trees next to Farmer Fred's house in Lumbridge (6 trees). There are willow trees just south of the jail and church in Port Sarim (14 trees). There are also several just south-west of Rimmington.

Starting experience - 13,375
Experience needed - 13,021,056
Willow logs needed - 192,905 (13,021,087.5 experience)

Levels 45-99 – Maple trees

At level 45, players have the option of switching to maple trees, which grant 100 experience per log.

Expect to see approximately one-third less woodcutting xp/h compared to willow trees, however these are significantly more afk due to their slower chop speed.

The only place where free-to-play players can chop maple trees is the Corsair Cove Resource Area, which contains 4 maple trees, and requires beginning the The Corsair Curse quest* and completion of Dragon Slayer to enter.

Starting experience - 61,512
Experience needed - 12,972,919
Maple logs needed - 129,730 (12,973,000 experience)

*(Note that completion of The Corsair Curse is required to unlock the bank at Corsair Cove.)

Other methods (60-99)

Levels 60-99 – Yew trees

At level 60, players have the option of switching to yew trees, which grant 175 experience per log. While yew logs can be a nice profit at times, it is recommended that you chop willow or maple trees for experience.

The best place to chop yew trees is the Varrock Palace grounds next to the Grand Exchange (3 trees). Alternatively, the Corsair Cove Resource Area also includes 3 trees and generally has fewer people competing for it, due to the requirement of completing Dragon Slayer to enter. However, it is further from a bank.

Starting experience - 273,790
Experience needed - 12,760,641
Yew logs needed - 72,918 (12,760,650 experience)

-[[Axes]] are the tools required to train the skill of [[Woodcutting]]. There are many different types of axes available to [[free-to-play]] players, ranging from [[bronze]] to [[rune]]. It is recommended that players always use the best axe available at their level as a better axe improves woodcutting speed. Axes do '''not have''' to be wielded, although wielding one is best as it frees up an inventory space in a player's backpack. Axes can be wielded with the required [[Attack]] level for the metal they are made of. A [[Woodcutting]] level of 41 allows players to use [[rune axe]]s, the best axe available to [[free-to-play]] players.
