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. As levels increase, players can use better axes to chop trees faster. Players with high enough Attack levels can equip the axes that match the respective metals, but having an axe equipped is not necessary in order to chop a tree; having it in the player's inventory also works.

Woodcutting is a useful skill for a low-levelled player to make money early in the game.

Players have a 1 in 8 chance of depleting most trees that can give more than one log, as well as a 1 in 11 chance of depleting a section of a Redwood tree. Mature juniper trees have the lowest chance of depleting of any tree, at a rate of 1 in 16 when a log is received.

At 60 Woodcutting (which can be boosted) members gain access to the Woodcutting Guild.

Players have a chance to receive the beaver woodcutting pet while chopping trees around Gielinor.

The most common tree in Gielinor, these trees are how players start off training Woodcutting. Both evergreen and dead trees (both small and big) also yield logs. Each tree only yields one log, after which they are cut down and respawn in a short time.

They are only found in the Feldip Hunter area, the Kharazi Jungle, and on Ape Atoll. Several variations of models for the tree and stump exist, likely due to the trees in the Kharazi jungle being introduced in Runescape classic.
