Woodcutting icon (detail).png

Woodcutting is a gathering skill that primarily involves chopping trees to obtain logs used in the Fletching, Firemaking, and Construction skills. Players with a higher Woodcutting level can chop down new types of trees and cut down trees quicker, especially as higher levels of axes become available.

Woodcutting is a useful skill for a low-levelled player to make money early in the game. On the map, locations of rare trees can be located with a tree Rare trees icon.png icon.

Players looking for a more social Woodcutting experience can partake in forestry. To begin, grab a forestry kit from the Forestry shop icon.png Forestry Shop in Draynor or Seers' Village.

Members can also grow their own trees to chop using the Farming skill. Additionally, at level 60 Woodcutting and above (which can be boosted), members can gain access to the Woodcutting Guild, containing a wide variety of useful features.

Types of trees[edit | edit source]

Woodcutting Level Tree Resource Experience Notes Members
1 Tree.png Tree Logs.png Logs 25 The most common tree in Gielinor, these trees are how players start off training Woodcutting. Both evergreen and dead trees (both small and big) also yield logs. Each tree only yields one log, after which they are cut down and respawn in a short time.
Buckets of sap can be acquired by using a knife on the conical variants while having a bucket in one's inventory.

71 Crystal axe.png Crystal axe Special attack: Lumber Up, provides a visible +3 boost to Woodcutting. Requires crystal shards to operate; as such, chopping very low level trees (such as oak and below) with the crystal axe is not recommended as players with 71 Woodcutting likely have maxed out the chance to receive a log. When depleted of charges, it behaves as a dragon axe. Requires completion of Song of the Elves to use.

Besides axes, other equipment is useful for the Woodcutting skill.

Mechanics[edit | edit source]

Both Woodcutting level and tier of axe determines players' speed of chopping logs. Players with high enough Attack levels can equip the axes that match the respective metals, but having an axe equipped is not necessary in order to chop a tree; having one in the player's inventory also works.

Most trees follow the same mechanics when cut, rolling to chop a log every 4 game ticks. All trees have different chances to chop a log depending on the tree being cut, the player's Woodcutting level, and the axe being used. With a high Woodcutting level and a good axe, a 100% success rate can be achieved when cutting certain lower-level trees.[2]

Trees despawn on a timer that activates after the first cut and regenerates if players stop cutting the tree before it is fully chopped. The regeneration rate is equal to the chopping time. So chopping for 10 seconds, then stopping for 10 seconds will let the tree recover to full.

Tree Despawn time
Oak tree 27 seconds
Willow tree 30 seconds
Teak tree 30 seconds
Maple tree 1 minute
Hollow tree 36 seconds
Mahogany tree 1 minute
Arctic pine tree 1 minute, 24 seconds
Yew tree 1 minute, 54 seconds
Magic tree 3 minutes, 54 seconds
Redwood tree 4 minutes, 24 seconds

After a tree depletes, a timer counts down to its respawn. Each tree has its own timer and is roughly related to the tier of tree. Oak and willow trees take 8.4 seconds, maple trees take 35.4 seconds, yew trees take 59.4 seconds, and magic and redwood trees take 119.4 seconds.

Members have a chance to receive the beaver woodcutting pet while chopping trees around Gielinor.

Bird Nests[edit | edit source]

While woodcutting most standard trees, players have a 1/256 chance to receive bird nests, which fall to the floor and can be picked up. These may be empty, or contain various rings, tree seeds, and rarely a bird's egg. The nests themselves are valuable in their crushed form for use in making Saradomin Brews with the Herblore skill.

The player may also obtain clue nests in a similar fashion, which contain a clue scroll between beginner and elite tiers. While regular bird nests aren't obtainable through chopping redwood trees, clue nests are. Unlike normal nests these rates are affected by the type of tree and Woodcutting level.

Special woodcutting locations and activities[edit | edit source]

Several locations have unique mechanics that related to woodcutting.

Woodcutting Guild[edit | edit source]

The Woodcutting guild is located in the south-western corner of Hosidius, providing various woodcutting features for members. The guild requires at least level 60 woodcutting and 75% Hosidius favour to enter. Within the guild, players receive an invisible +7 boost to their woodcutting skill, allowing them to chop trees significantly faster, but not trees that require a woodcutting level above their visible level.

The guild contains a wide variety of trees found across Gielinor, including higher level yew and magic trees; all found in close proximity to both a sawmill and bank. It is the only location of redwood trees in the game, except for those grown by the player within the Farming guild. Other notable features include:

Forestry[edit | edit source]

Forestry is a social woodcutting activity in which players carry forestry kit for a chance to spawn special events upon felling trees. The more players chopping the tree, the longer the event lasts. These events can be engaged with in exchange for anima-infused bark and various types of leaves. The anima-infused bark can then be exchanged at forestry shops for a variety of woodcutting-related items.

Canoes[edit | edit source]

Canoes are a way of travelling along the River Lum. All that is required to use them is an axe and a minimum of level 12 Woodcutting for the lowest level canoe. There are five canoe stations and six stops.

Canoes are a very handy way of getting to Edgeville without an amulet of glory.

Note that while the Wilderness is the last stop, there are no suitable trees to make a canoe, so it is a one-way trip. It drops players off just north of the black chinchompa hunting grounds.

Waka canoe.png A Waka 57 150 It can take you unlimited stops along the River Lum. The only canoe that can travel into the Wilderness.

Tai Bwo Wannai Cleanup[edit | edit source]

Tai Bwo Wannai Cleanup is a woodcutting minigame that revolves around hacking jungle bushes around Tai Bwo Wannai with a machete for thatch spars and using them to repair the village fence. Both actions grant favour with the locals, which can be exchanged for trading sticks. Furthermore, gout tubers, proboscides, snake hide, uncut opals, uncut jades, uncut red topazes and tribal masks may be obtained from creatures and rocks that occasionally spawn upon successfully clearing a jungle bush.

Prifddinas[edit | edit source]

The regular trees, teak tree, mahogany trees, yew trees and magic trees found within the walls of Prifddinas have a 1/80 chance of producing a crystal shard in addition to the main product. Despite their models also having embedded crystals, the trees in Gwenith do not yield crystal shards.

Ents[edit | edit source]

Ents are monsters found in the Wilderness and at the Woodcutting guild. They become ent trunks when killed, which can be chopped for random noted logs until it despawns. Ents in the wilderness produce logs at twice the rate of logs from ents at the Woodcutting Guild. Completing the medium tier of the Wilderness Diary further increases the rate.

Farmable trees[edit | edit source]

Oak trees, willow trees, maple trees, yew trees, and magic trees can be planted in any of six tree patches found throughout Gielinor. Teak trees and mahogany trees can be planted in any of three hardwood patches on Fossil Island. Crystal trees can be planted in the crystal tree patch in Prifddinas. Celastrus trees can be planted in the dedicated celastrus patch and redwood trees in the dedicated redwood tree patch, both found in the advanced tier of the Farming Guild. Crystal trees and celastrus do not grant woodcutting experienced when chopped.

Farmable trees offer the benefit of being visible only to the player who has planted it, thus removing competition. Attempting to chop a tree in a farming patch causes the player to stall for one tick, which allows for 1.5-tick woodcutting.

Obstacles[edit | edit source]

Several obstacles can traversed by chopping them with an axe or machete. These include:

Other[edit | edit source]

Woodcutting pet[edit | edit source]

Beaver (follower).png

The beaver is a skilling pet that can be obtained while training Woodcutting. The chances of getting it are dependent on the player's Woodcutting level, and the time it takes to gather a resource. Chopping ent trunks and bruma roots will not give players a chance to receive this pet.
