Woodcutting Guide

Introdcution
Woodcutting is one of the most recognizable skills of HydraScape due to the fact that there are trees scattered all over HydraScape.

Some uses for Woodcutting are Firemaking and Fletching. With Firemaking, you burn the logs. They are wasted, but you gain experience for it, as well as levels. In Fletching, you can use normal logs to make Arrow shafts, and all other logs are limited to making various items that can assist you in Ranged, as well.

Basics
You start out with a Bronze hatchet and you click on a tree. You will then swing at the tree until you gain the logs, and then the tree will disappear. As you gain higher levels, you will level up and be able to cut up to Oak, Willow, and Yew Trees. Also, you will swing multiple times at the tree, and gain multiple logs before the tree disappears. This is different than the Trees, which will go down after one swing.

There are nine logs. Normal, Oak, Willow, Maple, Teak, Mahogany, Yew, Magic, and Cursed Magics(Patron donator+).

Level 1-35
Level 1 is the starting point for all great woodcutters. At this level, you can cut Normal trees.

At level 15, you can chop Oak trees.



Level 30-60
From level 30, you can chop willow trees. The best place to chop and bank your Willow logs is Draynor Village, just south of the bank.



Levels 45-60
At level 45 you can cut Maple trees. Maples don't give quite as good experience as Willows, but if you are cutting for Fletching or Firemaking, then these will give a bonus over Willows in that they give more experience when fletched or burned. There are also several trees scattered elsewhere around Seers' Village, if you don't mind running around a bit. You can continue with cutting Willow trees until Yews, or you can swap over to Maple trees.



Level 60-75
There are two locations where players can chop Yews easily: Edgeville, and north of the Varrock Castle.


 * If you are only after fletching or firemaking experience, you can begin chopping Yew trees. Otherwise, stick with Willow trees if you are after experience. At level 70, cutting Yews picks up a bit, although not enough to outrun Willows in experience-per-hour.

Level 76-99
At level 75, you can chop Magic trees. Magic trees are still very slow. You would be better off chopping Yews until at least level 85 before you begin trying to chop Magic trees. The best places to cut them are south of Seers' Village or in the Extreme Donator Zone.
