Woodcutting Guide

Runescape Woodcutting Guide

Woodcutting is arguably the most profitable and easiest-to-train skills in F2P. It brings in a lot of money with relatively fast and easy training. Woodcutting is great for those who want to make a ton of money without always having to tend to the game. In the later levels when woodcutting starts pouring out money, you won't even have to watch the screen while your player hacks away at a tree getting multiple yew logs.

Needed items: Axe (depending on your Wood Cutting level)

Remember: Upgrade your axe whenever you reach the ability to use a better one!

One of the simplest ways in Runescape to make money is cutting trees. For example, imagine you chopped 1000 Yew logs (possible to do in one day), how much money can you make from that?

Lets do the math. Yew logs are approximately 450GP each, and if you have 1000 of them, then...

1000 Yew logs X 461 GP = 461,000gp!

That's almost HALF A MILLION GP!! And that can be done withing one day of easy woodcutting!

The rest of this guide will teach you where and when to train your levels in woodcutting, so you ca be on your way to a higher Woodcutting level.

Levels 1-15

Start out with the best axe you can use. All you have to do is cut Normal Trees once you have 97 logs you should be on level 15 woodcutting. You can either burn the logs (and get firemaking level up) or bank them(make some money). If you bank them, I would cut just out of the East entrance to Varrock. It’s right next to a bank, and there lots of trees.

Levels 15-30

At this point start cutting oaks, which are fairly common in Runescape. You can find them all over runescape near the east bank in varock and in draynor. But the best place to cut trees again is varock, near the east bank. Keep cutting oak trees to level 30. You will reach level 30 woodcutting after collecting 293 oak logs.

Levels 30-70

Now this is the biggest leap of all to get to 70, to get to that level quick you have to cut willows. You get 67.5xp per log and you have to chop a staggering 3858 logs. Although at level 60 you gain the ability to cut yews, its best to keep cutting willows because yews tend to take a long time to cut. The best place to cut willow trees is south west of the Draynor Bank, where the willow trees are lined up for your leveling near the water.

Levels 70+

If you made it to this point, then congratulations, its time to start raking on some mad money! Its time to start cutting some yews. They are quite rare around Runescape and lots of other people want them to make money from and you will to 461gp each!!! Good money when stacked. The best spot for yews in Runescape (f2p) is in Lumbridge 4 Yew trees which not too many people go to. And the lumbridge bank is nearby. A better spot yet is the two trees behind Varrok castle, because the Grand Exchange bank is to the near west of them. However, the spot tends to be crowded.
