.Among all the skills in Oldschool RuneScape, getting to 99 woodcutting can be one of the most relaxing, but is by no means the quickest. It all depends on how you choose to train the skill; you can train at a slower and more relaxing pace with the AFK method, or at a faster and more click-intensive pace with tick manipulation methods.
Slower or AFK methods of training are usually more profitable, but they generate relatively low experience rates. It is advisable to use the fastest methods to get to 99 woodcutting and then use the time saved to do other more profitable money-making methods.
As soon as you reach the required woodcutting level to use a better axe, switch to it to enhance your experience rates. Here is a list of all the axes available in Old RuneScape, as well as the woodcutting level required to use them.
It is recommended that you drop all logs in your inventory when it is full. This is usually faster than banking them. However, if you are cutting trees in a location that is close to a bank, banking the logs would be a better option
Each piece of the full Lumberjack outfit worn gives additional Woodcutting experience when training woodcutting. This additional experience ranges from 0.2-0.8%, depending on the piece worn.
Wearing the full set outfit adds an extra set bonus of 0.5%, for a total of 2.5%.
The quickest way to gain experience when starting most OSRS skills, including woodcutting, is to complete quests. Completing the following quests will take you from levels 1 to 26 woodcutting.
It would take you one hour and fifteen minutes to finish all the quests discussed below, assuming you are quite familiar with questing
Monk’s friend: This quest is completed by doing favors for the monks at the Ardougne Monastery. It awards 2,000 woodcutting experience when completed and is rather easy to do with no skill requirements. This quest would take about fifteen minutes to complete.
Enlightened Journey: This quest requires the following skills 20 firemaking, 30 farming, and 36 crafting. It also needs 20 quest points. Upon finishing this quest, you will receive 1,500 woodcutting experience in addition to experience rewards in farming, crafting, and firemaking. It would take roughly fifteen minutes to complete this quest.
Icthlarin’s Little Helper: This is the second quest in the Kharidian quest series, it only requires the completion of Gertrude’s cat quest and has no skill requirement. Decent combat stats are also required to kill a 75 or 81 guardian and a Possessed priest. This quest gives 4,000 woodcutting experience and other experience rewards in thieving and agility and takes about 25 minutes to complete
Skratch Uglogwee subquest of a recipe for disaster: This quest requires 41 cooking, 20 fire making, and completion of the Big Chompy bird quest. Completing this quest grants 1,500 woodcutting experience and other experience rewards in cooking, crafting, and ranged. It takes 20 minutes to finish this quest
Note that, you should only do the quests above if you have the skill and quest requirements to complete them, as it would be faster to train 1 to 26 woodcutting by cutting trees rather than doing the requirements of these quests first.
Regular trees are the most common thing in Oldschool RuneScape, they can be found all around Gielenor. Cutting each log grants 25 experience and logs go immediately into your inventory. You would need to cut down 97 logs to reach level 15 woodcutting from level 1, and it would take about 10 minutes
If you want to bank the logs you chop, the regular trees found around the Grand Exchange and Varrock West Bank are closest to a bank
Cutting Oak trees requires 15 woodcutting and provides the player with 37.5 experience for each oak log they chop. Because one Oak tree can provide more than one Oak log, cutting it requires fewer clicks than regular trees. Players have to chop 534 logs to go from levels 15 to 35.
Players unlock the ability to cut Willow trees at level 30 woodcutting, however, it is not a good idea to chop them at this level since you won't be able to cut them frequently enough to get better experience rates than cutting Oak trees.
At level 20, You will gain approximately 20,000 experience each hour, so it would take roughly 1 hour to reach level 35.
Although Oak trees can be found in free-to-play regions, they are in larger numbers in the P2P regions like Yannile, Castle Wars, Catherby, Tree Gnome Village, Sorcerer’s Tower, and Seer’s Village.
At level 35, you can choose between cutting willow trees and teak trees, which provide very similar experience rates without tick manipulation. However, if you decide to use the 1.5 tick manipulation method, chopping teak trees is unquestionably the quickest method of training until 99 woodcutting.
1.5 tick manipulation method of cutting Teak trees is very click-intensive and is also fairly difficult to learn. It may be done by establishing a 3-tick cycle (for example, applying swamp tar on a clean herb) and alternating tiles close to the hardwood patches, When properly timed, the player can acquire two logs at the same moment every three ticks.
This strategy takes some practice to master and get high experience rates. It is best to watch a video guide to properly understand how it works.
Training from 31 to 99 woodcutting while using the dragon axe at 61 woodcutting with this method will take roughly 70 hours
This method is more practical for training till 99 woodcutting, since it is less click intensive and easier than the 1.5 tick manipulation method
To do this method, you must first get two animals, such as rabbits or birds, to attack you in such a way that they both attack you every two ticks with your auto-retaliate turned on. Have those two animals attack you in such a way that a hitsplat occurs every two ticks, which you can do by stepping beneath them if they're on the same tile to split them up, then getting one caught on a tree or shrub.
After that, move the two around until you're standing between two teak trees, and both enemies are attacking you. Each time a hitsplat emerges on the player, and then either click the ground at the foot of a teak tree or drop a teak log on each off-tick.
While using a Dragon Axe with this method, it would take 80 hours and 7 minutes to train from 35-99
Cutting the Blisterwood tree is the easiest and most AFK method of training woodcutting. To cut a Blisterwood tree, you must have 62 woodcutting and have progressed to the stage where you can enter the Darkmeyer when completing the Sins of the Father quest.
The Blisterwood tree never depletes, however, there is a 1/10 possibility that your character will stop chopping the tree, and you will need to click the tree again to continue training.
At level 62, you should expect about 50,000 experience per hour, and this increases to 75,000 as you get closer to level 99. It would take 190 hours to get to level 99 from 62 using this method.
The blisterwood tree may be found at Darkmeyer's Arboretum.
Sulliuscep is a type of mushroom located in the Tar Swamp in the southwestern region of Fossil Island. Players must complete the Bone Voyage Quest to get access to Fossil Island to do this method. Cutting Sulliuscep is less AFK than the Blisterwood tree, but it has significantly better experience rates.
To do this method, you should have decent combat stats to withstand the random attacks from tar monsters and spine mushrooms, which may potentially poison you. It is quite beneficial to cut Sulliuscep when there are few other players present since it reduces your chances of getting attacked, the world you would most likely find other players cutting Sulliuscep is World 321, which is assigned for Sulliuscep cutting.
For Dragon axe, you should go from 65-99 in approximately 129 hours
When using the crystal axe, the experience rates are slightly higher and you should get from 71-99 in approximately 122 hours
Redwood trees require 90 woodcutting to cut and give 380 experience per set of redwood logs, cutting them is particularly AFK due to the time it takes to obtain a single set of logs, enabling you to stay AFK for more than 5 minutes at times,
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.
It would take a player about 128 hours to train with Redwood trees from levels 90 to 99 woodcutting, and they will receive up to 4M GP worth of Redwood logs.
The Woodcutting Guild is the best place to find redwood trees.
