Requirements
Evil Trees, like other trees, come in varying types and levels of difficulty. The woodcutting and firemaking levels correspond to the levels required for ordinary trees and logs. The farming requirements are lower, to allow nurturing of the saplings. The lowest, normal tree does not require any levels over 1, but to broaden your access to more trees and better rewards, higher farming, woodcutting, and/or firemaking levels are suggested. The leprechaun on site can supply you with a bronze hatchet and a tinderbox, but bringing your highest level hatchet is best. As well, completing the Tree Gnome Village Quest is a HUGE help in finding and teleporting to the trees.
| Type | Farming Level (to nurture) | Woodcutting Level | Firemaking Level (burning roots) |
| Regular | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| Oak | 7 | 15 | 15 |
| Willow | 15 | 30 | 30 |
| Maple | 22 | 45 | 45 |
| Yew | 30 | 60 | 60 |
| Magic | 37 | 75 | 75 |
| Elder | 42 | 85 | 85 |
Dealing With The Tree
While a Tree is still in its' early stages, it has not yet turned Evil, and so a leprechaun will still be caring for it. They will ask nearby travelers to help nurtu
re. You can do this without any tools, so long as you have the necessary farming level (shown above). This will also give you some farming experience, of course.
Once the tree has been completely nurtured , roots will surround it, preventing you from reaching it. If you try to chop the tree near a root, it will knock you back and stun you. The only way to reach the tree is to then chop the roots with a hatchet. Each piece of root chopped will give you root kindling, which can be used to light the tree on fire, dealing damage to it and giving you firemaking experience. You can only light eight fires on any one tree, at each point and in between them. Once you have access to the tree, an open spot with no roots, chopping the bark will deal damage to the tree and give you woodcutting experience. Beware, as roots will spontaneously grow back, knocking back and dazing nearby players.
You can inspect the tree to check how much health it has left, and what percentage of the total possible will be yours for your part in killing the tree.
| Experience Earned | ||||
| Type | Farming Experience (nurturing sapling) | Woodcutting Experience (chopping roots) | Woodcutting Experience (chopping tree) | Firemaking Experience (burning kindling) |
| Regular | 20 | 3 | 15.1 | 200 |
| Oak | 45 | 6.5 | 32.4 | 300 |
| Willow | 66 | 9.1 | 45.7 | 450 |
| Maple | 121 | 11 | 56 | 675 |

| Magic | 311 | 14.1 | 71 | 1517.5 |
| Elder | 687 | 15.5 | 85 | 2,000 |
Any left over kindling can be sold to nearby leprechauns for 25gp each.
LocationsTrees can be located in 26 different locations all over Runescape. Most Evil Trees are found in forested areas near paths and civilization.
The quickest way to get information about an Evil Tree on your world is to talk to a Spirit Tree (assuming you have completed the Tree Gnome Village quest). If there is an active Evil Tree on your world, the Spirit Trees can teleport you directly to it! When Evil Trees are immature, the Spirit Trees will give you a hint to the location of the evil tree; these can be very specific or very vague. If there is no active evil tree on your world, the Spirit Trees will tell you how long it will be until the next one.
If you cannot talk to the Spirit Trees, there is one other way to find an Evil Tree or sapling. When one turns up, large roots will occasionally spring out of the dirt in areas nearby as you walk past. Explore the vicinity and you should find it!
The below table will list the possible locations for all hints given by the spirit tree. Hints may refer to several locations. Each location may be referenced by more than one hint.
| Hints | Possible locations |

Rewards
Rewards include noted logs of the same type as the tree you killed, tree seeds, bird's nests, coins, items such as key parts and gems, as well as Treasure Trail Clues. Elder Trees will supply you with yew, magic, teak or mahogany noted logs, as well as the above rewards.
In addition to these rewards, the leprechaun will also reward you with a unique temporary ability. This reward, lasting from a minimum of 2 to a maximum of 30 minutes, forces any logs you chop automatically be sent to your bank as long as you have a full inventory (only on regular, oak, willow, maple, yew, and magic trees). As well, when chopping a tree within this time frame, each time you receive a log, there is a lower chance than normal of the tree being completely chopped down (only applies to non-farmed trees).
If you do not have time or pack space to collect your reward, you can get it from the next evil tree you encounter.
