Woodcutting

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.

Basics of Woodcutting

The concept of Woodcutting is obtaining logs by chopping different tiers of trees. Using higher tier axes will result in quicker chop times and faster XP gained per hour. The logs that are obtained can then be used in the training of the Firemaking or Fletching skills, or for the creation of planks used in the Construction skill.

Trees

Different trees require different levels to chop. Specifics regarding XP gain are OSRS rates, multiply the number by your game modes XP rates to have a more accurate estimation.

Note: There are many more trees across Zeah, however the ones listed are the most useful regarding XP gain, money making, and skill training.

Tree	1	25	Most notably behind Lumbridge Castle and west of Barbarian Village.	Includes all level 1 trees: Tirannwn, Dying tree, Dead tree, Burnt tree, Evergreen tree, Jungle tree, and Achey tree.

Levels 30-35: Willow trees

Teleport to Draynor Village and chop the Willow trees located just outside the bank.

Search 'Teak' in the Teleport Nexus and select the 'Teak trees' option to teleport to Etceteria. Chop these down until you reach 52 Woodcutting.

Woodcutting Pet

The beaver is a skilling pet that can be obtained while training Woodcutting. A strange sound is heard when you obtain the beaver while 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. Players will also be met with a chat box text stating "You have a funny feeling you're being followed". It is not necessary to insure the pet as all pets are auto kept on death on Zeah.
