Woodcutting is an important skill, especially for Ironman. The logs obtained from training woodcutting are needed for training other skills like firemaking and construction, and it unlocks several activities in the game. Training woodcutting on ironman is quite similar to normal accounts, but there are still a few differences that have been discussed in this guide.
The Lumberjack outfit is an experience-boosting clothing that gives the player additional woodcutting experience if worn while training woodcutting. This additional experience ranges from 0.2-0.8%, depending on the piece worn. Wearing the full set adds an extra set bonus of 0.5%, for a total of 2.5%
The fastest way to get this full outfit is through the Temple Trekking minigame. Alternatively, it can be purchased from the Forestry shop. The full set costs 5,000 Anima-infused bark, 100 maple logs, 620 yew logs, 360 magic logs, and 120 redwood logs at this shop.
The woodcutting guild is very beneficial when training woodcutting. While inside the guild, the player will receive an invisible +7 level boost to their woodcutting level. Players are required to have at least 60 woodcutting before they are allowed into the woodcutting guild. It also contains 11 trees, 4 Oak trees, 7 Willow trees, 13 Maple trees, 17 Yew trees, 8 magic trees, and 2 Redwood trees.
An axe is the most important item in woodcutting; the type of axe you use will determine how fast you chop logs. You should always switch to a better axe as you soon as you get the required woodcutting level.
These axes can be bought from different shops in OSRS. Bob’s Brilliant Axes is a popular place where iron men can buy bronze axes, Iron axes, and steel axes; they cost 16 GP, 56 GP, and 200 GP respectively. Mithril, Adamant, and Rune Axes can be bought from Perry’s Chop-chop shop in the woodcutting guild for 1,664 GP, 4096 GP, and 40,960 GP respectively.
The Dragon Axe is the second-fastest in OSRS. It is 10% more efficient at chopping logs than the rune axe. The fastest method to obtain this axe is by killing the Dagannoths ( Daganoth Prime, Dagannoth Rex, Dagannoth Supreme); it can be obtained at a 1/128 rate from killing any of these. It can also be gotten from playing the Wintertodt at a rate of 1/10,000.
The Crystal axe is the best axe for training woodcutting in OSRS. it requires 71 woodcutting and completion of Song of the Elves to create and use, with 50 agility and 70 attack to wield it. Players can create this axe through a singing bowl by combining a dragon axe, 120 crystal shards, and a crystal tool seed
If you don’t have enough coins to buy the best axe for your woodcutting level, you should fight Wintertodt. You will get woodcutting experience, and the supply crates rewarded after each round have a chance of giving the player coins when opened. The wintertodt is a popular boss that can be killed using skills rather than combat. Players are required to have at least 50 firemaking before they can participate in the fight. You can find how to play the wintertodt and woodcutting experience rates on our extensive guide.
Players can skip early training by completing quests that reward them with woodcutting experience. You should only complete the quests that have no requirements or the ones you have the requirements for
It is recommended to burn the logs when your inventory is full, as this is the fastest way to get early firemaking levels.
If you don’t want to complete the Monk’s Friend quest, cutting regular trees found around Gielenor is the fastest training alternative at level 1.
Oak trees are quite common as well around OSRS. Cutting them is the fastest way to train woodcutting from level 15 to 35 woodcutting.
Teak trees can be chopped at level 35 woodcutting; each one chopped gives the player 85 woodcutting experience. The best spot to cut these trees is south-west of Castle Wars, the fastest way to get here is through the Castle Wars minigame teleport. Cutting Teak trees with tick manipulation is the fastest way to train woodcutting in OSRS. There are two methods of cutting teak trees with tick manipulation; 1.5 and 2.5 tick manipulation method. The 1.5 tick manipulation method is the fastest of the two.
Willow trees require 30 woodcutting before they can be chopped and 30 firemaking before they can be burned. Each one chopped awards the player with 67.5 woodcutting. The best location is cut willow logs is at Draynor Village or at the woodcutting guild due to the availability of trees and proximity to a bank.
Forestry is a more social method of training woodcutting. It is a group-based woodcutting activity that can occur on any world, but it is advisable to use dedicated worlds since they have larger amount of players at popular tree-cutting areas, which will improve your experience rates. The Forestry events usually occur where most trees are located except regular trees, burnt trees, hollow trees, player-grown trees, the Blisterwood tree and trees within the Woodcutting Guild.
Players are rewarded with anima-infused bark for participating in forestry events which can be used to purchase several items in the Forestry Shop like lumberjack outfit, log baskets, forestry outfit, and some other items. The experience rates from Forestry depend on your woodcutting level, number of players, tree, and the event. To learn more, check our Forestry guide
This method of training woodcutting is AFK and generates good experience rates. Chopping sulliusceps requires 65 woodcutting and the completion of the Bone Voyage quest to gain access to Fossil Island, where this training method can be done. You should also have decent combat stats to withstand the random attacks from the tar monsters and spine mushrooms, which may poison you while cutting Sulliuscep. You should also use World 321 when cutting Sulliuscep since you will find other players there doing the same and this will reduce your chances of getting attacked.
Cutting redwood trees is very AFK, as it takes up to 5 minutes to get a single set of logs. Redwood trees require 90 woodcutting to cut, and each set of logs yields 380 woodcutting experience. The best location to cut these Redwood trees is at the farming guild.
At level 90, players can get up to 60,000 experience per hour using a Dragon axe.
At level 95, players can get up to 70,000 experience per hour using a Dragon axe.
Players can cut 180 redwood logs each hour, and It would take about 128 hours to train with Redwood trees from levels 90 to 99 woodcutting,
