Training
Cut the two highest level trees available, while avoiding Magic Trees due to their lower XP per hour compared to most of the lower level trees. Make sure to purchase Axes when they become available from the shop. The table below assumes you have the
Multi-Tree upgrade; if you haven't purchased it yet, simply cut the higher level of the two listed logs.
Tree 1 | XP | Cut Time | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1-10 | Normal Tree | 10 | 3s | |||
10-25 | Normal Tree | Oak Tree | 28 | 4s | ||
25-35 | Oak Tree | Willow Tree | 40 | 5s | ||
35-45 | Willow Tree | Teak Tree | 56 | 6s | ||
45-55 | Teak Tree | Maple Tree | 80 | 8s | ||
55-60 | Maple Tree | Mahogany Tree | 110 | 10s | ||
60-90 | Mahogany Tree | Yew Tree | 152 | 12s | ||
90-99 | Yew Tree | Redwood Tree | 280 | 15s |
Selling logs is advisable to make it possible to purchase essential upgrades such as Axes or Multi-Tree, but this might slow down
Firemaking, so keeping some is recommended. To further this goal,
Magic Trees are usually worth cutting until
Redwood Trees are unlocked as they are worth a large amount of GP.
It is also possible to sell the Bird Nests that are produced, which are worth more unopened on average compared to selling the seeds after opening. However, you should consider opening enough for
Farming.
Seeds worth keeping include:
Potato Seeds for
Bird Nest Potions.
Strawberry Seeds for
Gentle Hands Potions.
Magic Tree Seeds, these seeds are quite rare and can turn a healthy profit of GP and XP when used in
Farming. Very useful for obtaining logs for
Firemaking without sacrificing Woodcutting exp.
Throne of the Herald Training
With added content from the Throne of the Herald expansion, Woodcutting becomes more complex for obtaining optimal XP rates. As always, make sure to purchase Axes when they become available from the shop, there are new Axes for level 100+ content that are required for cutting trees of a certain level.
Maximizing the amount of interval reduction is key! Due to the way these modifiers stack additively, missing even a few can be a major hindrance in the amount of experience earned over time. For example, Redwood Trees with all other available bonuses can go from 989k XP/h to 3,758k XP/h simply by adding
Stepping Stones.
XP rates will vary drastically based on the player's mastery level in each tree and how many relevant bonuses they are using. As usual, always make use of Multi-Tree. The following table will try to provide an approximate guide using most of the available buffs, though the player should always check for themselves or use a mod like ETA to be sure:
Tree 1 | XP | Cut Time | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
100-102 | Redwood Tree | 356 | 18s | |||
102-105 | Redwood Tree | 459 | 22s | |||
105-110 | Redwood Tree | 566 | 25s | |||
110-120 | Redwood Tree | 657 | 27s |
Since the player will be spending a lot of time on the same logs, and due to Multi-Tree and the generally very high XP rates available in
Woodcutting with the appropriate buffs, it is very likely the player will complete Mastery on multiple Trees while leveling. It is therefore advised to work start cutting a different tree even if it is a skill XP loss, the time gained in Mastery completion will be more useful overall.
Raven Nests are a great way to unlock
seeds for
Farming and also include fragments for the
Meteorite Woodcutting Amulet and
Meteorite Woodcutting Ring, which also provide
Firemaking XP equal to 10% of the
Woodcutting XP the player earns.
Raven Nests only drop while cutting at least one Tree that has a level requirement of 100 or greater.
