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 that of its name, you chop trees with different tiers of axes that then give the player that trees logs. Increased Woodcutting level provides an increased chance to successfully chop a log and progress towards chopping down the tree. These logs can then be used in the training of the Firemaking or Fletching skills, or for the creation of planks used in the Construction skill.

Cutting trees generates logs, though players can alternatively acquire them from the Grand Exchange, or (rarely) as monster drops. Bows can start fires, excluding the Ogre bow, ogre comp bow, dark bow and crystal bow. The player can procure a tinderbox in the general store, such as those in Varrock, Falador and Lumbridge for 1 coin. They can also be taken as a free sample from the Lumbridge general store.

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 an accurate number.

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	Level	Experience	Location	Notes
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.
Oak	15	37.5	Behind Lumbridge Castle and southwest of Varrock West Bank.	N/A
Willow	15	60	Oak tree	Like normal logs, Construction and fletching tend to expend Oak logs.
Teak	30	90	Willow tree	Players can use Willow logs in Fletching.
Maple	35	105	Teak tree	By talking to the Sawmill operator, players can turn teak into planks, primarily for use in construction.
Mahogany	42	125	Arctic pine	These are found north of Neitiznot and Jatiszo
Yew	45	135.5	Maple tree	Players can use Maple logs in Fletching.
Ivy	50	157.5	Mahogany tree	Burning them is not recommended—except while power training in the Hardwood Grove—as Construction consumes great quantities of mahogany planks.
Magic	58	193.5	Eucalyptus tree	Eucalyptus logs serve no purpose other than firemaking and a handful of quests.
Redwood	76	303.8	Blisterwood Tree	Players can find the Blisterwood tree in the Arboretum of Darkmeyer.

Bonfires

Bonfires are a training method that allow for a player to add additional logs to a fire that they or another player has made. Doing so grants the player more experience. Multiple players can add to the bonfire to increase the experience multiplier. As you level up, the amount of experience gained from each log added to Bonfires increases slightly. Once the player has chosen to add logs to the bonfire, logs will continue to be added automatically, thus making it an easier training method. Players can also receive a boost to their maximum life points from the warmth of the fire. In addition, there is a possibility of releasing fire spirits from logs added to the bonfire that will reward players with items once freed.
