For many adventurers, woodcutting is an essential skill to build fires to cook over so that you can have a hot meal while hiking through the terrain. For experienced Fletchers, trees can be made into strong arrows and hand-made bows to use while Ranging.

Basics of Woodcutting

Cutting trees is a simple task, but some trees fall easier than others. Any hatchet will work, but remember that the better the axe, the easier it will be to get wood. Now Sal chopping a Willow Tree just click on the tree to chop it down.

If you chop a regular tree you will get 1 stack of logs, while others will give several stacks. If you keep missing the tree and can't chop it down, just keep trying and eventually you will cut it down. The higher your level, the easier it will be to get logs.

Hatchets

As mentioned before, better hatchets will cut trees quicker than others. There are currently 8 different kinds of hatchets, each requiring a certain woodcutting level to use.

Picture	Hatchet	Woodcutting Level
Woodcutting Axes
	Bronze	1
	Iron	1
	Steel	6
	Black	6
	Mithril	21
	Adamant	31
	Rune	41
	Dragon	61

Machetes

Machetes are mainly used to chop through the Jungle Brush on Karamja Island. There are no requirements to use these, but the types of brush you can cut will require you to have a specific Woodcutting level (those are included below).

To get these, you can either buy them from Gabooty in Tai Bwo Wannai with Trading Sticks, or you can have them made by Safta Doc if you bring him the materials.

Picture	Machete	Required Materials
Machetes
	Regular	None
	Opal	· 300 Trading Sticks · 3 Opals cut/uncut · 1 Gout Tuber Plant
	Jade	· 600 Trading Sticks · 3 Jades cut/uncut · 1 Gout Tuber Plant
	Red Topaz	· 1200 Trading Sticks · 3 Red Topaz cut/uncut · 1 Gout Tuber Plant

Bird Nests

Sometimes while chopping a tree, a Bird's Nest will fall out. Pick it up and search it - you may find something valuable inside! Bird Nests can also be crushed by Members with a Pestle and Mortar and mixed to make a Saradomin's Brew.

A Rabbit-Foot Necklace can be crafted, and it significantly increases your chances of getting a bird's nest while woodcutting.

Broken Axes

Occasionally, the tree you are cutting will turn into an ent. If you chop the tree for too long, the ent will break your axe, and you will no longer be able to use it to chop trees. Just bring it to Bob's Axe Store in Lumbridge to have him fix it (prices vary depending on the type of axe).

Trees

While exploring the land, you will most likely come across different kinds of trees; many of which are more difficult to chop and require more skill than a Regular Tree. Some can be found while traveling along the road, while others can only be found in out-of-the-way places.

Canoes

Canoes are yet another way to get from place to place in RuneScape, and they allow you to travel up and down the River Lum. There are several Canoes you can make, and the better ones can go further than others.

First, head to the Canoe Station of your choice:

Chop up a Canoe Tree with a Hatchet, and then select the "Shape Canoe" option. Next, select the type of canoe you'd like to make to see your character carve it out. Push it into the nearby water, select a destination, and you're on your way! For more information about making them, see the Canoe Guide.
