Woodcutting guide by Wyks

Introduction

Woodcutting is one of the resource gathering skills in the game. There is only one type of wood in the game, which can be cut from different forests all around Syrnia. Wood is used to cook food (cooking skill), construct buildings and boats (construction skill) and to smith various items (smithing skill).

Getting started

To begin woodcutting, you will need to equip a hatchet (you can only wield the bronze hatchet at level one and the more expensive but only slightly faster ogre hatchet), travel to a woodcutting location and click the link in the city menu to start working. By leveling up in the skill you gain access to higher level forests that have a better experience per chop ratio, better type of random seed and item drops and more wood per chop. However, the timer per chop will also increase significantly.

Timer influence

The woodcutting timer for each forest can be lowered by gaining woodcutting levels, using higher level hatchets and finding a less crowded forest to chop at. Each player working alongside you adds 2 seconds to the woodcutting timer, but once there are 15 players working alongside you, the timer will increase no further. Each tool and level reduction is percentage based and you might not see the difference at the lower level forests.

Random drops

While woodcutting, you can randomly find seeds (used in the farming skill) and different locked items depending on the forest. To find out exactly which items you can find at a specific forest, click on the forest type in the chart below (the Action column). By selling these drops to your fellow Syrnians you will have a steady income of gold pieces. Last but not least it is worth mentioning that seed drops are much more frequent if you woodcut at a forest in The Outlands (player versus player combat area), especially at the level 1 forests.

Ancient wood Hop seeds and squirrels

Ancient wood is a rare drop that can be collected at Kingswood Forest and Tirnus Plateau in amount of 1-2 if you have a Scroll of Ancient Wood in your inventory. Squirrels are global drops from any skill If you click them enough times they will turn red. When click them again at a forest they will leave you seeds based on that forest and run away. Squirrels can not be redeemed for seeds at kingswood, outlands, or plateau. Hop seeds can only be farmed at the players house at Morrie fields.

Locations

Be aware that to be able to cut wood at Aloria (level 55 forest), you need to have completed the Protect the ancient woods quest. To complete this quest you need a reasonable combat level! To be able to cut wood at Ammon (level 100 forest), you must have completed the Hidden forest quest which does not involve combat but requires level 30 mining and level 15 constructing.
