Woodcutting

edit

All types of jungle do not provide a chance at receiving a bird's nest, clue nest, or the beaver pet.

It is advised to bring antipoison, food, restore potions and some decent armour when cutting jungle as many dangerous things can attack you while cutting. While clearing away the jungle, your character will occasionally make a brief pause as if "taking a breather," indicating that the player has failed to cut the jungle.

Cutting

edit

Light jungle can be cut with a machete at level 10 Woodcutting, giving 32 experience, and yields thatch spar light, which can be used to make skewer sticks or used in the Tai Bwo Wannai Cleanup minigame to reinforce the village fences. Jungle is cut in four sections, and once all four sections are cut the jungle becomes depleted.

The chance to successfully cut a section of jungle is dependent on a player's Woodcutting level, and the type of machete used. The difficulty in cutting jungle also increases from light to medium and to dense.

A player's Woodcutting level also has the added effect of increasing speed that jungle is cut at. This mechanic is unique to jungle cutting. When first chopping, the player will swing at the jungle for a period of time, dependent on woodcutting level. At Woodcutting level 10, players cut jungle in 16 tick intervals. Every 10 woodcutting levels (20, 30, 40, so on) the time to cut is decreased by 1 tick, until at 90 Woodcutting players cut at a speed of 8 ticks.

After swinging at the jungle the skilling tick occurs, rolling the chance to success/fail at chopping the jungle section. This roll always happens 4 ticks before the end of the cycle. Following the skilling tick, a 3 tick animation of succeed/fail plays and the cycle restarts if there is more jungle section to cut.

Events

edit

Events can occur while cutting jungle. The chance for an event to happen is not dependent on successfully cutting jungle, jungle type, or machete used.

Possible events include the mosquito swarms, jungle spiders, tribesmen, broodoo victims, bush snakes, gem rock, and gout tubers. The monster events will pop out of the jungle being cut and attack the player. The gem rock and gout tuber will take the place of the jungle, and need to be removed before being able to cut again.

Event rate

edit

The chance for an event to happen is related to a player's Woodcutting level (but overall effect is low). The chance to have an event is controlled by a formula and script semi-tied to the cutting of the jungle. Each chop attempt (even if failed) increases a counter by 1, up to a max of 7. This is your chance 'out of 101' of getting an event. It starts off at 0/101, and increases to 7/101 as you chop.[1]

The counter increases on the skilling tick of the cut cycle. This ticker is not directly responsible for an event occurring, but instead increases the chances when rolling for an event to take place. Event rolls take place after the first tick of the cycle and occur each tick until the skilling tick of each cycle. For example, at 90+ Woodcutting jungle has 8 tick cycles. Tick 1 is a start delay, ticks 2 3 4 are event rolls, 5 is the skill tick, and 6 7 8 are the success/fail animation delay. In this example events can only happen on ticks 2 3 and 4. Lower Woodcutting levels have additional event roll ticks and increase the cycle length.

The state of the event chance counter persists when the player stops hacking away jungle, but is reset if an event is spawned or after logging out of the game.[2] The overall average time to receive an event is around 64 ticks with constant jungle interaction and with slight variation between Woodcutting levels. In practice the time will be slower due to interruptions from jungle depletion and events.

Event types

edit

When an event is rolled, a roll is first made to spawn a gout tuber, scaling with the player's Woodcutting level. The odds of receiving a gout tuber event scale from a 1/100 chance at level 10, up to a maximum of 1/33 at level 99.[3] If this roll fails, the rest of the event table is subsequently rolled.

Event Chance[4]
Jungle spider 22/99
Tribesman 21/99
Bush snake 21/99
Large mosquito 8/99
Mosquito swarm (level 17) 7/99
Mosquito swarm (level 20) 6/99
Gem rock 5/99
Broodoo victim (food) 4/99
Broodoo victim (poison) 3/99
Broodoo victim (disease) 2/99
