Woodcutting
(Rune)
Click here for Dragon Axe times
This is a popular skill, quite similar
to mining except its lot easier as you can gain more than one resource per
click. Also it combines very nicely with another very popular skill -
fletching.
The levelling system for this guide is
as follows:
1-15 Regular trees in Draynor
15-30 Oaks in Draynor
30-45 Willows behind Draynor bank
45-60 Maples just north of Seers bank
60-99 Yews west of Catherby bank
Always make sure you are using the
best possible wood cutting axe. You should only use the Dragon axe if you
can afford it.
In general the Dragon axe is 5 -10% faster, XP wise, than the
rune hatchet except for when cutting magic logs where it is up to 17% faster
on average.
Basic axes up to steel can be bought
at bobs axe shop in Lumbridge. Axes higher than steel have to be bought off
other players or picked up from monster drops (not recommended).
1-15 Regular trees

45-60 Maple trees
You may have noticed from the times that during this switch to maples
your XP rate decreases slightly. Willows are THE tree of choice for
woodcut power levelling but when playing efficiently, the switch to maples
is the correct move as it provides much potential fletching or firemaking
experience.
The only reason why you should stay on willows at
this point is if you intend to go for the Woodcutting highscores. Highscores
positions are EXTREMELY difficult to reach and then maintain. You should
only attempt this if you play for at least 10 hours a day. Willow cutting is a power levelling method, the times for which
will be released on this site very soon.

60-99 Yew trees
You can switch to yews as soon as you can cut them. The first couple
of levels are a little slow but after those the XP rate slowly passes that
of maples.
