Woodcutting
- For information on training this skill, see the Woodcutting training article.
Woodcutting is a skill available on RuneScape Classic. The skill consists of cutting down trees and obtaining logs. A higher woodcutting level will give players the ability to cut different types of trees, and a better chance of chopping down a tree. After being cut down, a tree will respawn once a certain amount of time has elapsed, depending on the type of tree.
Messages[edit | edit source]
It is possible to fail to cut a tree, in which the following message will appear:
You slip and fail to hit the tree
- The player doesn't get the logs, and the tree remains standing
- If the player fails to cut the tree, they must click again
Types of logs[edit | edit source]
Many different kinds of logs can be gathered with the woodcutting skill at increasingly higher woodcutting levels. All logs can be used to make bows with the fletching skill. Furthermore, logs can be burnt with the firemaking skill. However, unlike RuneScape 2, Only regular logs can be used for firemaking, not the higher level logs.
| Type | Required Level | Experience | Fatigue |
|---|---|---|---|
| Logs | 1 | 25 | 0.533% |
| Oak logs | 15 | 37.5 | 0.8% |
| Willow logs | 30 | 62.5 | 1.333% |
| Maple logs | 45 | 100 | 2.133% |
| Yew logs | 60 | 175 | 3.733% |
| Magic logs | 75 | 250 | 5.333% |
Types of axes[edit | edit source]
The better the axe, the better the chance of successfully chopping a tree and receiving logs. Unlike RuneScape 2, there is no woodcutting level requirement to use each axe for woodcutting.
Bob's Brilliant Axes is a shop in Lumbridge that sells bronze to steel axes. Higher level axes can only be acquired through smithing, as a drop from certain NPCs, or by trading with other players.

Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Originally, there were only normal trees in Runescape Classic, and the experience gained when cutting trees raised with every level you gained according to the formula .
- When the skill fletching was released, Jagex added new trees for members and made a fixed limit of experience on normal trees. It was 12.5 experience briefly and later changed to 25 experience. While Jagex compensated for this by changing woodcutting to be able to be done with left click, many players (especially free users) were upset that reaching a high-level woodcutting would take an unfortunately longer period of time.
- In the early days players had to use their axes on the trees to be able to cut them.
- The first player to reach level 99 woodcutting was Everdred.
- There are 3 082 regular trees, 182 oak trees, 35 willow trees, 28 maple trees, 20 yew trees and 14 magic trees in RuneScape Classic.
- It is possible to get Magic Logs at level 50 woodcutting from Yommi Trees.
