'''Woodcutting''' is a gathering [[skill]] that primarily involves chopping trees to obtain logs used in the [[Fletching]], [[Firemaking]], and [[Construction]] skills. Players with a higher Woodcutting level can chop down new types of trees and cut down trees quicker, especially as higher levels of [[axe]]s become available.
 
Woodcutting is a useful skill for a low-levelled player to make money early in the game. On the map, locations of rare trees can be located with a tree [[File:Rare_trees_icon.png]] [[icon]].
 
Players looking for a more social Woodcutting experience can partake in [[forestry]]. To begin, grab a [[forestry kit]] from the [[File:Forestry shop icon.png]] [[Forestry Shop]] in [[Draynor Village|Draynor]] or [[Seers' Village]].
 
[[Members]] can also grow their own trees to chop using the [[Farming]] skill. Additionally, at level 60 Woodcutting and above (which can be boosted), members can gain access to the [[Woodcutting Guild]], containing a wide variety of useful features.

==Mechanics==
Both Woodcutting level and tier of axe determines players' speed of chopping logs. Players with high enough [[Attack]] levels can equip the axes that match the respective metals, but having an axe equipped is not necessary in order to chop a tree; having one in the player's inventory also works.
 
Most trees follow the same mechanics when cut, rolling to chop a log every 4 game [[RuneScape clock|ticks]]. All trees have different chances to chop a log depending on the tree being cut, the player's Woodcutting level, and the axe being used. With a high Woodcutting level and a good axe, a 100% success rate can be achieved when cutting certain lower-level trees.{{CiteTwitter|author=Mod Ash|url=https://twitter.com/JagexAsh/status/1003748614546522117|date=4 June 2018|archiveurl=https://archive.is/FnPDT|archivedate=28 May 2020|quote=For oaks and below, a high-level player can get 100% success per roll with an adamant axe, so a rune axe would not help. This is not the case for willows or above.}}
 
Trees despawn on a timer that activates after the first cut and regenerates if players stop cutting the tree before it is fully chopped. The regeneration rate is equal to the chopping time. So chopping for 10 seconds, then stopping for 10 seconds will let the tree recover to full.
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Tree !! Despawn time
|-
| [[Oak tree]] || 27 seconds
|-
| [[Willow tree]] || 30 seconds
|-
| [[Teak tree]] || 30 seconds
|-
| [[Maple tree]] || 1 minute
|-
| [[Hollow tree]] || 36 seconds
|-
| [[Mahogany tree]] || 1 minute
|-
| [[Arctic pine tree]] || 1 minute, 24 seconds
|-
| [[Yew tree]] || 1 minute, 54 seconds
|-
| [[Magic tree]] || 3 minutes, 54 seconds
|-
| [[Redwood tree]] || 4 minutes, 24 seconds

After a tree depletes, a timer counts down to its respawn. Each tree has its own timer and is roughly related to the tier of tree. [[Oak tree|Oak]] and [[willow tree]]s take 8.4 seconds, [[maple tree]]s take 35.4 seconds, [[yew tree]]s take 59.4 seconds, and [[Magic tree|magic]] and [[redwood tree]]s take 119.4 seconds.
 
Members have a chance to receive the [[beaver]] woodcutting pet while chopping trees around [[Gielinor]].
 
===Bird Nests===
While woodcutting most standard trees, players have a 1/256 chance to receive [[bird nest]]s, which fall to the floor and can be picked up. These may be empty, or contain various rings, tree seeds, and rarely a [[bird's egg]]. The nests themselves are valuable in their [[crushed nest|crushed form]] for use in making [[Saradomin Brew]]s with the [[Herblore]] skill.
 
The player may also obtain [[clue nest]]s in a similar fashion, which contain a [[clue scroll]] between beginner and elite tiers. While regular bird nests aren't obtainable through chopping redwood trees, clue nests are. Unlike normal nests these rates are affected by the type of tree and Woodcutting level.
 
==Special woodcutting locations and activities==
Several locations have unique mechanics that related to woodcutting.
 
===Woodcutting Guild===
{{Main|Woodcutting Guild}}
The [[Woodcutting guild]] is located in the south-western corner of [[Hosidius]], providing various woodcutting features for [[members]]. The guild requires at least level 60 Woodcutting to enter. Within the guild, players receive an [[Invisible boost|invisible +7 boost]] to their woodcutting skill, allowing them to chop trees significantly faster, but not trees that require a woodcutting level above their visible level.
 
The guild contains a wide variety of trees found across [[Gielinor]], including higher level [[Yew tree|yew]] and [[magic tree]]s; all found in close proximity to both a [[sawmill]] and [[bank]]. It is the only location of [[redwood tree]]s in the game, except for those grown by the player within the [[Farming guild]]. Other notable features include:
* [[Perry's Chop-chop Shop]], the only shop in ''[[Old School RuneScape]]'' that sells [[rune axe]]s.
* A dungeon containing many [[Ents]]
 
===Forestry===
{{Main|Forestry}}
[[File:Felling axe.gif|thumb|200px|A player cuts a tree with a [[felling axe]], which is obtained from participating in forestry.]]
[[Forestry]] is a social woodcutting activity in which players carry [[forestry kit]] for a chance to spawn special events upon felling trees. The more players chopping the tree, the longer the event lasts. These events can be engaged with in exchange for [[anima-infused bark]] and various types of [[leaves]]. The anima-infused bark can then be exchanged at [[forestry shop]]s for a variety of woodcutting-related items.
 
===Canoes===
{{Main|Canoe}}
[[Canoes]] are a way of travelling along the [[River Lum]]. All that is required to use them is an [[axe]] and a minimum of level 12 Woodcutting for the lowest level canoe. There are five canoe stations and six stops.
 
Canoes are a very handy way of getting to [[Edgeville]] without an [[amulet of glory]].
 
Note that while the [[Wilderness]] is the last stop, there are no suitable trees to make a canoe, so it is a one-way trip. It drops players off just north of the [[Black chinchompa (Hunter)|black chinchompa]] hunting grounds.

===Tai Bwo Wannai Cleanup===
{{main|Tai Bwo Wannai Cleanup}}
Tai Bwo Wannai Cleanup is a woodcutting minigame that revolves around hacking jungle bushes around [[Tai Bwo Wannai]] with a machete for [[thatch spar]]s and using them to repair the village fence. Both actions grant favour with the locals, which can be exchanged for [[trading stick]]s. Furthermore, [[gout tuber]]s, [[proboscis|proboscides]], [[snake hide]], [[uncut opal]]s, [[uncut jade]]s, [[uncut red topaz]]es and [[tribal mask]]s may be obtained from creatures and rocks that occasionally spawn upon successfully clearing a jungle bush.
 
===Prifddinas===
{{main|Prifddinas}}
The [[Tree|regular trees]], [[teak tree]], [[mahogany tree]]s, [[yew tree]]s and [[magic tree]]s found within the walls of Prifddinas have a 1/80 chance of producing a [[crystal shard]] in addition to the main product. Despite their models also having embedded crystals, the trees in [[Gwenith]] do not yield crystal shards.
 
===Ents===
{{main|Ent}}
Ents are monsters found in the [[Wilderness]] and at the [[Woodcutting guild]]. They become ent trunks when killed, which can be chopped for random [[noted]] logs until it despawns. Ents in the wilderness produce logs at twice the rate of logs from ents at the Woodcutting Guild. Completing the medium tier of the [[Wilderness Diary]] further increases the rate.
 
===Farmable trees===
{{Main|Tree patch}}
Oak trees, willow trees, maple trees, yew trees, and magic trees can be planted in any of six [[tree patch]]es found throughout Gielinor. Teak trees and mahogany trees can be planted in any of three [[hardwood patch]]es on [[Fossil Island]]. [[Crystal tree]]s can be planted in the [[crystal tree patch]] in [[Prifddinas]]. [[Celastrus tree]]s can be planted in the dedicated [[celastrus patch]] and redwood trees in the dedicated [[redwood tree patch]], both found in the advanced tier of the [[Farming Guild]]. Crystal trees and celastrus do not grant woodcutting experienced when chopped.
 
Farmable trees offer the benefit of being visible only to the player who has planted it, thus removing competition. Attempting to chop a tree in a farming patch causes the player to stall for one [[tick]], which allows for [[Tick manipulation#1.5-tick Woodcutting|1.5-tick woodcutting]].
 
===Obstacles===
Several obstacles can traversed by chopping them with an axe or machete. These include:
* [[Jungle bush]]es and [[jungle tree]]s blocking the entrance to the [[Kharazi jungle]]. In addition to being crossed when chopped, they yield [[logs]].
* [[Dead tree (Mountain Camp)|Dead trees]] found north of the [[Shining Pool]] block the [[Kendal]]'s cave. Only two of the trees can be chopped, the others produce the message "There is nothing to gain from chopping down this tree". These grant no logs and no experience.
* [[Tendrils (Abyss)|Tendrils]] blocking access to the inner ring of the [[Abyss]].
* [[Thick vines]] blocking various pathways in the [[Tar Swamp]]. They grant 2 experience when chopped.
* [[Vines (Brimhaven Dungeon)|Vines]] blocking certain passageways in the [[Brimhaven Dungeon]]. They grant no experience when chopped.
 
===Other===
* The [[Maple tree|maples]] found on [[Miscellania]] can only be chopped after getting to a certain point during [[Throne of Miscellania]]. The player won't receive any logs upon cutting these specific trees, instead the kingdom keeps them, and grants you some favour in gratitude for woodcutting for them. Similarly, the [[teak tree]]s and [[mahogany tree]]s found on [[Etceteria]] can only be chopped after [[Royal Trouble]] has been completed, immediately granting the logs to the kingdom and earning some favour as a player. The [[evergreen tree]]s found on both islands are not considered part of the kingdom, thus behave normally.
* After completion of the medium tier of the [[Kandarin Diary]], the maples in [[Seers' Village]] grant 10% extra experience.
* Fruit trees planted in [[fruit tree patch]]es can be chopped down at any level, granting no experience.
* The [[woodcutting stump]] in [[Neitiznot]] can be used to make [[split log]]s and [[Neitiznot shield]]s from [[arctic pine logs]], the former granting 5 woodcutting experience.
 
==Woodcutting pet==
{{Main|Beaver}}
[[File:Beaver (follower).png|right|175px]]
The [[beaver]] is a skilling [[pet]] that can be obtained while training Woodcutting. The chances of getting it are dependent on the player's Woodcutting level, and the time it takes to gather a resource. Chopping [[ent]] trunks and [[Bruma root|bruma roots]] '''will not''' give players a chance to receive this pet.
