Woodcutting Guide

 

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.

Rg Beginner Lumbridge Advisor If you are just starting out in Woodcutting you may want to pay a visit to Roddeck the Advisor in the building just east of the Lumbridge General Store to learn about the different kinds of trees and hatchets. You can get a free Bronze hatchet from Bob’s Brilliant Axes and a free Tinderbox from the Lumbridge General Store. If you are a member, you might also pay a visit to Larry the Lumberjack or Moe the Miner just south-west of Varrock to obtain a handy tool - the Dwarven army axe. This can be used as a Tinderbox and a Hatchet. You can also use a Bronze hatchet or Tinderbox from your Toolbelt.

Hatchets

Hatchets are the primary tool for woodcutting. The better your hatchet, the higher your chance of getting logs from the tree.

Bird's Nests (members only)

While woodcutting, a bird's nest will occasionally drop out of the tree and land next to you. If you pick up the nest and search it, it might contain some useful or valuable items, such as rings and seeds for farming. Other possible loot includes raven eggs, and red, green or blue birds' eggs. These eggs can be incubated and raised as pets for those with higher levels of the Summoning skill. Once empty, the nest can be crushed using a pestle and mortar for use in the Herblore skill.

Wc Nests Eggs

As well as normal woodcutting you can also obtain nests from Managing Miscellania and by killing the Giant Mole then trading its mole skins and claws with Wyson the Gardener. Nests obtained from Wyson can also contain normal seeds and herb seeds or be empty.

Jagex says that you can increase your odds of getting a bird's nest while Woodcutting by wearing a strung rabbit's foot which requires level 24 Hunter to wear and level 37 Crafting to make.

Canoes

Canoe's are one of the many different types of transport within RuneScape. As your woodcutting level increases you will be able to build better and better canoes to travel along the River Lum. This river travels all the way from Lumbridge to Level 35 Wilderness. There are four types of canoes, each one being progressively better than the previous one. Detailed information about travelling using the canoes can be found in the Canoe Section of the Getting Around Guide.

Shown below are the canoes and the level required to carve them as well as the experience given for cutting and carving them.

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.

Jadinko Lair Roots
Type Level Exp Info
Straight Root Straight roots 83 161.6 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.
Curly Roots Curly roots 83 161.6 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.
Mutated Root Mutated Roots 83 140 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

Sawmill Jobs (Members only)

Sawmill Jobs Loca 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, see our detailed instructions. For every job you complete, you earn a bonus amount of Woodcutting experience (see "Sawmill Jobs Bonus EXP Table" below), on top of the experience you gain from cutting up the individual planks along the way:

    • Note: You may ruin a plank (or half of a combination) at the workbench, because each type of cut has a difficulty assigned. If you ruin one of the planks, you will not get any experience, even if you successfully cut the other plank. Nothing can be done except make a new plank and try again.

Limitations

  • You cannot enter the Sawmill by boosting to level 80 using regular/Mature Axeman's Folly.
  • Logs, planks and cut planks cannot be removed from the area.
  • Familiars are not allowed, not even in your pack.
  • Everything in the cart is submitted when you finish a job - so you should withdraw your extras for the next job. While inspecting the cart, click to remove cut planks. You can also click cut planks in your inventory to store them in the cart.
  • With the exception of Diagonal-cut planks, the cart can only store up to 63 of each type of plank. The cart can store up to 127 Diagonal-cut planks. If you have 63 of one type -- or 127 of Diagonal-cut planks -- stored, and continue to cut more of that type, they will begin to appear in your inventory instead.
  • If you leave the area you will lose any logs, planks or cut planks in your inventory. If you log out while in the area, upon logging back in you will spawn outside of it, and all of the logs, planks, or cut planks in your inventory will have been removed.
 

Detailed Instructions

As you go east from the building out into the work area, you will see a Job Board on the building's outside wall. Choose a Quick or a Large job. Once you have selected a job, a small task list reminder showing your progress will appear in the upper left-hand corner of the game window.

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. Please view our Urns Section in the Crafting Guide for more detailed information on urns.

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.

Skillchompas are skilling tools gained through Hunter which provide an explosive alternative to conventional skill training.

Wielded as a weapon, Skillchompas provide the regular resources one would expect from Woodcutting as well as acting as different levelled hatchets (see the levels section for more). On top of this, you will receive a 10% base xp increase for each successful action, and a little xp if unsuccessful.

Skill mastery and Beyond

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).

Please refer to the Achievement Capes guide for more details.

woodcutting Cape

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.

Woodcutting master cape

It is worth noting that beyond level 99 there is no additional content for woodcutting as the level increases are invisible so training the skill gets no faster. To work out your theoretical woodcutting level check out our XP table.
