Multi-Tree is an upgrade for Woodcutting that can be purchased from the Shop for Coins.svg 1,000,000. The upgrade allows the player to cut two trees simultaneously, providing logs from each tree and additional XP.

When cutting multiple trees the number of actions performed by the player does not change, instead the action time becomes that of the selected tree with the longest action time. The number of logs gained (before any doubling) from the tree with the shortest action time becomes [math]\displaystyle{ \left \lfloor \frac{\text{Longest Action Time}}{\text{Shortest Action Time}} \right \rfloor }[/math]. Skill and Mastery XP gained is unaffected, with the full amount for the longest action time being granted to the player.

For example, if simultaneously cutting Oak trees with an action time of 1.2 seconds and Yew trees with an action time of 4 seconds, the action time would be 4 seconds and [math]\displaystyle{ \left \lfloor \frac{4}{1.2} \right \rfloor = 3 }[/math] Oak Logs would be gained per action. The amount of skill XP gained (before any bonuses) from the Oak tree would then be [math]\displaystyle{ 15 \times \frac{4}{1.2} = 50 }[/math].

This upgrade does not increase the chance of acquiring rare items such as Signet Ring Half (a), Circlet of Rhaelyx, and Mastery Tokens, as the number of actions performed remains unchanged.

History

Until V0.20, cutting multiple trees with the Multi-Tree upgrade would result in an increased number of actions - With some of the faster trees selected, the number of actions performed over time far exceeded what was possible in other skills. As a result, Woodcutting was generally the preferred method of acquiring rare items such as Signet Ring Half (a) and Circlet of Rhaelyx. The implementation of this upgrade was then changed in V0.20 to resolve the various balance issues this previous implementation had introduced.
