Woodcutting Guide
.

Woodcutting is one of the most popular skills to train being one of the most popular 99 skill in Runescape. It tends to be a long skill to train but needs little effort to get huge amounts of experience as your character can be chopping Ivy for over 8 Minute and gaining you massive amounts of experience, good for watching TV, films or just relaxing. Woodcutting is one of the more basic of skills but still has a lot of different aspects what i will be showing you in this guide.

Before you start woodcutting read parts 1.0-1.3.

1.0 - Hatchets

Hatchets are used to chop trees down. there are many different types of hatchets each having different woodcutting level to use and and chopping rate. always try to keep to the highest hatchet you can to incress speed.

Iron - WC Level: 1 - Wield: 1 Attack
Steel - WC Level: 5 - Wield: 5 Attack
Black - WC Level: 6 - Wield: 10 Attack
Mithril - WC Level: 21 - Wield: 20 Attack
Adamant - WC Level: 31 - Wield: 30 Attack
Rune - WC Level: 41 - Wield: 40 Attack
Dragon - WC Level: 61 - Wield: 60 Attack
Inferno Adze* - WC Level: 61 - Wield: 60 Attack

Inferno Adze: To use the Inferno Adze as a hatchet, players needs 61 Woodcutting and 92 Firemaking. To use it as a pick axe, players need 41 Mining and 92 Firemaking. It can also be used as a weapon with 1 Attack and 92 Firemaking and requires Prince in peril and All fired up. The adze will burn 25% of all logs chopped good for willow etc but bad for when your chopping Yew or magics.

Tip: If you can afford the Dragon Hatchet or Inferno Adze you should buy as they are 15% faster than the rune hatchet.

3.0 - Locations

It is good to have a good woodcutting spot, this can be helpful for faster banking, more trees nearby etc. i will be giving
examples of the best spots to woodcut and the best bank's to use for the best Xp gain/Cash gain.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________

You should cut normal trees until 15 then go onto oak what is into the same spot shown above, you can bank in the Varrock
West bank or take a knife and fletch them into arrow shafts for fletching exp.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________

You should start to cut Willow trees at level 30 until 68 as willow trees are very fast experience and should be done at
either Draynor village or barbarian out post because both spots are very close to the bank. Dranor village is the best F2P
spot and is ofen over crowded in F2P worlds. Willows are around 30-45k Exp P/Hour.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________

Yew trees are very good cash but not good for leveling your woodcut.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________

Cutting Ivy is the fastest Woodcutting Exp in the game being 65-85K exp P/hour but is not very profitable as you do not get
logs with this cut, money is made from Birds nests.There are lots of different Ivy spots all over runescape but the one North
west from falador is the best as it is the least populated spot. Ivy is the best and fastest method to 99 Woodcut and
is highly recommended.

Tip: Watching TV or a DVD is a must reely if you are going to 99, you will spent a lot of time at Ivy and seen as it takes so little effort you can easily do something else to keep you interested.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________

Magic Trees is the fastest cash method in Woodcutting being upto 200K Per/H, it is recommended that you have above level
90 before woodcutting here because Yew trees would be more beneficial below 90.

After 29 hunter you can wield it, you buy from grand exchange. its worth getting it befor you even start woodcut because the amount of more money you can make its amazing, just 30min work getting 29hunter will make you over 4Mil if you get 99 on ivy

Wow, Awesome Guide lots of stuff i didn't know there and you made it reely easy to understand, love the layout. Good job!

Only thing to point out; wc isn't the second most popular 99, it's Str, Fletching, Cooking, Thieving then wc I think. Other than that nice guide, covers all the major ways to train or profit off woodcutting and the best way to get a decent exp bonus.


Something I just noticed; typo in my age. I'm 14 not 12...

Thanks, i expected a little more posts on this guide for how many days i spent creating this.

Like that it is in a new section for skill guides
______________
New target: 10 Rep Points

You did a great job on this guide, but the problem with guides like this is that people either already know everything, they think they know everything or they dont want to know everything

But a great guide nevertheless

Cheers, Yeh your right, thats why i added things like Sawmill, Rabbits foot, best ivy spots, Stealing Creation, lumber jack clothing. Thanks

oh also, if you're going to use lumberjack it takes about on average 4 hours( that's if you're really slow) so that's about 300k xp gone but you gain 2.5% each log so it would get you 325k xp if you were lvl 1 wc so it isn't worth it if you're woodcutting is above lvl 30 and if you're just going for 99 then stopping.

Great advice, cuz I got to 63 Wc and sorta stopped trying, because I wasn't getting enough exp.

Good guide, but Teaks are faster xp that Ivy, it's just that Ivy is very a.f.k'able.

YAWN

awsome page helped heaps thanks for getting me 99wc

Very useful and detailed tutorial. Thank you for sharing.

Great guide

I don't mean to be mean or anything, but powercutting teaks can be done to 100k exp per hour, and Ivy will never go above 80k per hour

Also, sawmill is also around 100k per hour if you're using a crystal saw.

So yeah, just some small errors in your guide.

Very informative guide this will help me a lot!
