OSRS F2P Woodcutting Guide: Fastest Ways From 1-99

Woodcutting is a free-to-play skill and can be trained to 99 without having to pay for a membership. It is really simple and requires only an axe to start training. This guide covers the quickest and most profitable methods of training to 99 woodcutting in F2P. To improve experience rates of the methods below, players should drop the logs instead of banking, this will save the time required to make trips to the bank since banks are usually far from woodcutting spots.

Players can train Firemaking along with Woodcutting by burning the logs they get instead of dropping them, this is a good choice, and it is quite efficient to train firemaking this way until 45 firemaking when better training methods become available.

Fastest Path to 99 Woodcutting in F2P

Cutting Regular logs: Level 1–15

Cutting normal trees throughout Gielinor is the only way to get started with woodcutting in F2P, it is faster to shift-drop the logs as you get them but, if you are low on gold, it is best to bank the logs to sell them at the exchange or utilize them for other money-making methods. It would take around 10 minutes to go from level 1 to level 15 woodcutting.

Cutting Oak logs: Level 15–35

At level 15 woodcutting, cutting Oak logs becomes the fastest training method. Just like regular trees, these can be found in several spots in F2P. It would take the player approximately 1 hour to train at Oak Logs from level 15 to 35 wooducutting. Don’t forget to switch to mithril and adamant axe at levels 21 and 31 respectively. 

2 tick Cutting Oak logs 35–99 

2 tick cutting Oak logs is the fastest way to train woodcutting at level 35. 2 tick cutting Oak logs is quite click intensive, it is not worth the stress to do this with a woodcutting level lower than 35 because the experience rates won’t be much different from cutting them regularly, 

Steps for 2 tick cutting oak logs

1. Make sure you carry your best axe and equip any shortbow; set the attack style to rapid attack with no arrows; also bring some runes for Confuse and Curse; or wear armor to reduce your magic attack to sufficiently splash and carry runes for a damaging spell.
2. Head to Falador and locate the two oak trees just beyond the southern Falador gates, which are approachable from a single tile, look for the two rats at a neighbouring farm that may be brought over to the oaks by using Confuse or splashing any spell. Normally, the rats do not wind up anywhere near the trees on their own, so they must be directed there each time. This can be difficult because the rats are often hard lt to control.
3. Once both rats have been lured to the trees and are attacking you, keep standing on them and moving around a few tiles at a time until the two rats' attack animations are precisely staggered to attack once every two ticks. Then, when the 0 hitsplat drops on you, click one of the two trees, and on the alternate ticks, drop a log from your inventory or click beneath you/under the tree so that the game recognizes an action but does not move you. Continuing this practice gives you a log every two ticks instead of four.
