Runescape Woodcutting Guide

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 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.

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.
