Woodcutting

Woodcutting is a gathering skill that lets players chop trees into logs. Logs are used in Firemaking and future crafting content.

Getting Started

To begin woodcutting, equip an axe in your hotbar. Approach a tree and tap Chop. Your success chance depends on the tree type and your current axe.
