'''Woodcutting''' is a skill that involves players cutting down different types of trees spread throughout Runescape. For each tree, a woodcutting level is required as well as an axe that can cut trees.


'''Woodcutting''' is a skill that allows you to chop different types of trees spread throughout Runescape. The higher level needed to cut a tree, the better experience. When you cut a tree, you will have logs in your inventory. You can then light the logs with a tinderbox to raise firemaking, fletch them using the member's skill fletching, or you can sell them.
As a player cuts a tree, logs will appear in their inventory. The player can then light the logs with a tinderbox to raise [[RuneScape/Skills/Firemaking|firemaking]], [[RuneScape/Skills/Fletching|fletch]] them if they are a [[RuneScape/Members|member]], or sell them to players.


Free players can only cut regular trees, oak trees, willow trees, and yew trees. However, even though there are no maple trees in the free world, members can bring maple flogs to free worlds and trade them.
Woodcutting is also a very popular skill, as selling the logs given by the higher level trees to other players can give players a great amount of money.


== How to Cut Trees ==
==How to cut trees==
In order to cut a tree, a player will need to have an [[RuneScape/Tools#Axes|axe]]. Axes are also known as 'hatchets' or 'woodcutting axes'. Axes are not to be confused with battleaxes, as battleaxes cannot cut down trees and are only used for [[RuneScape/Skills/Combat|combat]]. However an axe can be used for a weapon even though it would be a bad one.


In order to cut a tree, you need a hatchet. Hatchets can be bought from Bob's Axes in free worlds, or can be smithed by players using the smithing skill. Bob's Axes is located in Lumbridge. Bob sells bronze hatchets, iron hatchets, and steel hatchets, as well as battle axes. To cut a tree, you need a certain level. For example, you need a woodcutting level of 75 to cut a magic tree. You also need a certain woodcutting level to use a hatchet. For example, you need 41 woodcutting to use a rune hatchet. You also need an attack level to wield a hatchet. For example, you need 40 attack to wield a rune hatchet.  
Axes can be bought from Bob's Axes (located in Lumbridge) or smithed by players using the [[RuneScape/Skills/Smithing|smithing]] skill. However, Bob only sells bronze, iron, and steel axes. So players will have to buy the higher level axes from other players or smith the axes themselves.


To cut a tree, click on it, and your character will chop it down. The lower your woodcutting level, the slower you will obtain logs. But if you have a high woodcutting level, you will obtain many logs quickly. Once your inventory is full of logs, if you have a tinderbox, you can light them to obtain some firemaking experience, fletch them using the member's skill fletching, or sell them.
To cut a tree, players will need certain woodcutting levels. For example, a player will need a woodcutting level of 75 to cut a magic tree. A certain woodcutting level is also required to use a axe. For example, a player will need a woodcutting level of 41 to use a rune axe. Also, if a player wants to wield an axe, then an attack level is required. For example, a player will need an attack level of 40 to wield a rune axe. Players are recommended that they wield their axe so that they have more space in their inventory, allowing them to carry more logs.


== Levels Required and Experience Gained from Cutting Trees ==
To cut a tree, players have to find one and then click on it. Trees are really easy to find, as they are located all over RuneScape. When a player has found a tree, they can then click on it to chop it. A player's woodcutting level affects how fast they will get logs. If a player has a low woodcutting level, then they will get logs at a slow rate. But if a player has a high woodcutting level, then they will get logs at a fast rate. When the player is done cutting, they can then light the logs on fire with a tinderbox to obtain some firemaking experience, fletch them if they are a member, or sell them to other players.

Free players can only cut regular trees, oak trees, willow trees, and yew trees. However, even though there are no maple trees in the free world, members can bring maple logs to free worlds and both free players as well as members can trade them and burn them. These different types of trees are listed below.

Members don't have to just cut trees. They can also cut small jungles in and around the small village Tai Bwo Wannai. Cutting down jungles is also part of the mini-game Tai Bwo Wannai Clean Up.
 
There are three different kinds of jungles. There are light jungles, medium jungles, and dense jungles. When players cut a jungle, they receive no logs, unlike cutting trees. However, cutting jungles for long periods of time will be boring, but players can receive better experience from cutting jungles for an hour than cutting a yew tree for an hour.
 
{{-}}
===Machetes===
To cut a jungle, players cannot use an axe. Instead, they need a machete. However, in Tai Bwo Wannai, the currency is not gp, but instead 'trading sicks'. These sticks can be obtained by killing the monsters on Karmaja or by doing favors for the villagers.
 
To buy a machete, players will need trading sticks. There are 4 different machetes, each one having a different price. The normal machete can be bought from the general store in the village, while the other 3 have to be bought from the NPC named Gabooty. A player can trade with him to see his store. He is usually located in the center of the village. Machetes can also be wielded at any level, and a woodcutting level is not needed to use them.

== Random Events ==
==Canoes==
Members can also make canoes. Canoes can be used as a faster method of [[RuneScape/Guides/Movement|transportation]]. Canoes can be used to travel on the River Lum, which goes from Lumbridge all the way to level 35 Wilderness. However, a certain woodcutting level is needed to cut the trees that make the canoes.


Random events are events that happen at random times. They were introduced to stop autoers, or people who use a program to do their work.  
===How to make canoes===
To make a canoe, members have to find a canoe tree. These trees can be found at canoe stations. These stations are located in the following places.


In woodcutting, there quite a few of random events. One of these random events include Tree Spirits, a monster that will randomly appear while woodcutting and will attack you. The level of the spirit depends on your level, but it will always be higher then yours.  
*Lumbridge: On the east side of the river a bit south of the house where Goblins respawn.
*Champions Guild: On the east side of the river west of the wheat field.
*Barbarian Village: South of the eastern bridge on the east side of the river.
*Edgeville: On the east side of the river near the guard post.
*Level 35 Wilderness: At the lake south of where the Moss Giants. '''Players cannot go south from this station.'''


Your axe might split, causing your axe head to fly off. You have to find it fast before someone else sees it and grabs it. Once you've found the axe head, use it with your handle to put your axe back together.  
When the player has found a canoe tree at one of these stations they must then cut the tree down. The player then has to click on the fallen tree and select what type of canoe they want to make. When they've made the canoe they want, they then can click on the canoe to push it in the river. When in the river, the player can then click on the canoe and select where they want to go.


A tree can also turn into an ent. You can notice this if the tree you are cutting starts shaking and has an angry face somewhere on the tree's trunk. As soon as this happens, walk away and wait for the tree to transform back into it's original state. If you keep cutting, your hatchet will break, and you will have to take your hatchet to Bob, the owner of Bob's Axes, located in Lumbridge, to get it fixed for a price.
Canoes can only go to a certain number of stations away. Higher level canoes can go farther than the lower level canoes. It's recommended that players make the highest canoe they can make.


While woodcutting, a piece of the tree may hit you in the head. A person named "Dr. Ford" will appear and ask you how you are feeling. He will hold up a certain number of fingers and you have to tell him how many he is holding up. If you answer correctly, you will be given a fruit. If you answer incorrectly, you will be teleported somewhere, most likely the Monastery, located northeast of Falador and west of Edgeville.

|+Canoes
If you're a member, a nest may fall out of the tree you are cutting. Pick up the nest and search it. You will be given a random item, such as a gem, jewellery, some gp, or even a tree seed that you can use for farming. If you your herblore level is 81, use the nest with a pestle and mortar to crush it and make a Saradomin Brew. If your herblore level isn't 81, you may do as you please to the nest.

== Earning Money ==
|Log||12||30||Can travel to one station away from where the player made it. Cannot enter the wilderness.
 
|-
Cutting logs may seem boring, but people can make a good profit by selling the logs. If you wish to sell your logs instead of burning them, you should only sell willow logs and up. Normal logs and Oak logs won't get you much money.
|Dugout||27||60||Can travel to one station away from where the player made it. Cannot enter the wilderness.
 
|-
Selling your logs to a general store is not recommended, as they give you small prices. Sell your logs to other players, expecially members. Because of fletching, members need logs to fletch bows. This is a good market for money.
|Stable dugout||42||90||Can travel to one station away from where the player made it. Cannot enter the wilderness.
 
|-
Most logs have a street price. These street prices are:
|Waka||57||150||Can travel to any station
 
|}
Willow logs: 30 gp each.
 
Maple logs: 100-200 gp each.
 
Yew logs: 250-300 gp each.
 
Magic logs: 1000-1300 gp each.
 
It is important to remember that magic logs are member's only.
 
Yews are the best logs to sell, as there is a large market for these logs. Yews are usually sold for 300 gp each. However, it is recommended that you cut yews at level 75 woodcutting, because at this level, you obtain yews faster. Magic trees are not recommended to sell, as they take time to cut. Willows are also good logs to sell. The best place to sell logs is in or around Draynor Village's bank.
 
== Free to Play Training ==
 
Here is one way to raise your woodcutting level if you're a free player.
 
Level 1-15 - Cut normal trees. There is a good forest between Lumbridge and Draynor where there are many normal trees. This is a good spot to get your woodcutting level to 15.
Level 15-30 - Move on to oaks. A good spot is east of Draynor Village's bank.
 
Level 30-75 - Cut willows. While it is a long time until you start cutting yews, it is recommended you stay with willows as you can get them at a quick rate. A good spot is beside Draynor Village's bank, as there are 5 willow trees there.
 
Level 76-99 - Cut yews. However, cutting willows give faster experience than cutting yews, so it's up to you what you want to cut. A good spot is behind Varrock castle, where there are 3 yew trees.
