RuneScape/Wood

This section will cover all of the varients of trees in RuneScape and the basic wooden items created from them.

Trees
Trees are a natural part of the environment and can be found everywhere. Cutting down trees earns experience towards your woodcutting skill and produces logs than can be either fashioned into something, burned, or sold for a profit.

Before you start hacking away at one with an axe let’s consider the types of trees and what levels in Woodcutting are required to harvest logs from them.

Logs
The name of a log reflects what type of tree it was cut down from. Logs have a variety of uses in RuneScape. The most common is being burned as firewood for cooking with the Firemaking skill. Like with cutting down trees, better logs require a higher skill level in firemaking to set ablaze (and they will earn you a higher amount of experience).

Logs can also be required components in quests and used to make planks. Planks are a required building supply for constructing houses.

How to turn a profit
There is a demand for higher level logs by other players that want to increase their Firemaking skills. Selling these logs that have a higher demand can be quite profitable.

It is important to remember that magic logs are members only.
 * The logs that tend to have the highest demand are:
 * Oak (they sell faster than willow and you can make money faster with them)
 * Maple
 * Yew
 * Magic

If players wish to sell their logs instead of burning them, it is recommended that they sell willow logs and up. Normal logs and oak logs are not bought often and are not worth much money. However, selling logs to a general store is not recommended, as general stores give you small prices. Players should sell their logs to other players, especially members.

The best logs to sell are yews logs as there is a large demand for these logs and they can be sold for an excellent profit. However, it is recommended that players cut yews at level 76 woodcutting, because at this level players obtain yews faster. Magic logs are not recommended to sell as they take too long to cut. Willow logs are also good logs to sell.

The best place to sell or buy logs is at the Grand Exchange; located North-west of Varrock.
