Woodcutting Guide

Before you begin

• An axe you meet the Woodcutting requirement to use
• Bank space for logs
• A knife or tinderbox if processing logs during trips

Click the skill in your in-game Skills tab to inspect its guide. Check equipment, quests and supplies before leaving the bank.

These level bands are recommendations, not extra unlock requirements. Where an option unlocks partway through a band, keep using the earlier method until you reach it.

1. Levels1–15

   Normal trees around Lumbridge

   Collect logs for early Fletching or Firemaking. Upgrade your axe when you meet the requirement; wielding it may have a separate Attack requirement.

2. Levels15–30

   Oak trees

   Bank oak logs for planks or burn/fletch them. Choose a cluster with a short bank journey to keep your trips productive.

3. Levels30–45

   Willows around Draynor

   Willows are a practical sustained-training option. Teaks unlock at 35 if you prefer their location and want Construction supplies.

4. Levels45–60

   Willows, teaks or maples

   Maples unlock at 45 and are useful for processing skills. Stay with faster trees if your goal is mainly Woodcutting XP.

5. Levels60–75

   Yews for supplies; faster trees for XP

   Yew logs support higher-level bows and fires. Their slower collection makes them a supply-focused alternative rather than an automatic speed upgrade.

6. Levels75–99

   Choose between magic logs and sustained cutting

   Magic trees unlock at 75. Use them for valuable logs, or continue a faster lower-tier tree when regular XP matters more than log value.

Field notes

• Serenity’s willow resource awards 67.8 base XP; the guide uses this server’s value.
• Bank logs for another skill instead of dropping them when your account needs supplies.
• On World 2, check your route and safe-zone boundaries before carrying a valuable axe.

Use this reference alongside the training route. A level requirement alone does not replace the correct tools, ingredients, location or quest access.
