Wat is woodcutting?

Woodcutting is a gathering skill that primarily involves chopping trees to obtain logs used in the Fletching and Firemaking 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 hatchets which further increase the speed of cutting trees.

Woodcutting supplies

All you need to start woodcutting, is a hatchet (other word for hatchet is axe). You can buy it at the woodcutting master. He is at different places, but an easy way is Seers Village.

Hatchet	Image	Level
Iron hatchet		1
Steel hatchet		6
Black hatchet		11
Mithril hatchet		21
Adamant hatchet		31
Rune hatchet		41
Dragon hatchet		61
Infernal axe		61 (with 85 firemaking)
3rd age axe		61

It's also possible to buy the dragon hatchet and infernal hatchet at the skilling point store for respectively 50 and 500 skilling points. The infernal axe has the same cutting power as the dragon hatchet, but when using it, players have a 1/3 chance of receiving firemaking experience that a user would get for making a fire from the type of log the user is currently cutting. The 3rd age axe is the fastest axe.

Woodcutting locations

The best place to train woodcutting is Seers Village.

Willow trees can be found at Draynor.

There are a few places where you can find magic trees. The best place close to a bank is east Neitznot.

Walk to the east and you will see the magic trees.

When you are a donator, it's recommended to train woodcutting at the donator zone.

Woodcutting master

Like I said, the woodcutting master can be found at Seers Village, donator zone and other places. He can give you your skilling cape for free when you reach level 99. In addition, he can give you skilling tasks to obtain woodcutting points (you will also get participation points when you finish your skilling task). Finally, you can see his master's shop where you can spend your woodcutting points. It's recommended to get the lumberjack outfit, because it gives you 40% more woodcutting xp. You need 3350 points to get the full set.
