Woodcutters north of Varrock Palace.
This is a guide for training Woodcutting in free-to-play worlds.
Level 1 through 14
Players can cut normal trees. There are many normal trees in the forest between Lumbridge and Draynor Village, and south of Varrock.
Axes
| Level | Image | Metal | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | File:Bronze Axe.PNG | Bronze | Should move on to iron as soon as possible |
| 1 | File:Iron axe.PNG | Iron | Inexpensive and very effective through levels 1-14 |
| 6 | File:Steel axe.PNG | Steel | Pricier than iron, but recommended if it's affordable |
| 6 | File:Black axe.PNG | Black | Uncommon and costly, player should stick with steel |
Level 15 through 29
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 leveled 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.
| Level | Image | Metal | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | File:Iron axe.PNG | Iron | Cutting rate is slow; steel recommended |
| 6 | File:Steel axe.PNG | Steel | Basic axe for this level range |
| 6 | File:Black axe.PNG | Black | Same as steel, but pricier |
| 21 | File:Mithril axe.PNG | Mithril | Cuts fast for this level range |
Level 30 through 99
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. This is the fastest experience to 99, but gives woodcutters the least amount of money. If players wish to make some money, they should switch to yews at around level 80.
Money Making - Yews (80-99)
At level 80, players can cut yew trees at a decent rate. Keep in mind that the reason 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 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. These trees are also fairly close to the bank as well. Cutting yews will be very slow experience, but in the long run, players will gain lots of money.
| Level | Image | Metal | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | File:Steel axe.PNG | Steel | Bad axe to use; players should switch to adamant axe |
| 21 | File:Mithril axe.PNG | Mithril | Somewhat mediocre |
| 31 | File:Adamantite axe.PNG | Adamant | Good axe for levels 31-41 |
| 41 | File:Rune axe.PNG | Rune | Highly recommended at level 41 and up |
