### <span style="text-decoration: underline; color: #339966;">Why should i skill woodcutting?</span>

<span style="color: #339966;">Woodcutting is one of the Semi-AFK, Basic Skills. So theres not much to explain. You still have to go through it if you want the Max Cape some day. The good thing is you can use the logs to train fletching or firemaking. Basically you do is, Chop.. Chop.. and Chop..</span>

### <span style="text-decoration: underline; color: #339966;">Basics</span>

<span style="color: #339966;">Starting up at home you go eastbound, where the NPC shops are, which provide all kind of stuff which you need ingame. There you search for the "Skilling Shop" (5th NPC) In the Shop you can buy the hatchet from bronze to rune. I prefer you to buy all of them at once so you dont have to run there again.</span>

### <span style="color: #339966;"><u>Maximize your efficiency during woodcutting (for example best XP and helpful tools)</u></span>

<span style="color: #339966;">There are a few way how you can boost the efficiency of woodcutting.</span>

##### <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #008000; text-decoration: underline;">Skilling pet/s:</span></span>

<span style="color: #008000;">You have the chance to find skilling pets while chopping trees.</span>

<span style="color: #008000;">You can find the Beaver while chopping trees everywhere. This pet will slightly boost your woodcutting XP while following you.</span>

<span style="color: #008000;">This fancy Tree Spirit is only obtainable whilest chopping trees on the donator zone or above. Therefore it'll grant you a even higher XP boost than the beaver.</span>

##### <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #339966; text-decoration: underline;">Tools/Skilling points shop:  
</span></span>

<span style="color: #339966;">Besides rune hatchet there a better tools which can help you to chop faster.</span>

<span style="color: #339966;">These you can buy at the **Skilling points shop**, eastern of home</span>.

[![image-1604239713306.png](https://oldwiki.runerealm.org/uploads/images/gallery/2020-11/scaled-1680-/image-1604239713306.png)](https://oldwiki.runerealm.org/uploads/images/gallery/2020-11/image-1604239713306.png)

<span style="color: #339966;">Note: if you combine **the smouldering stone** (1) with any of the tools, they become "infernal" which grants you a chance to burn the log you are chopping. The infernal variants (i.e. Infernal Dragon Axe and Infernal 3rd Age axe) have a faster chopping rate than their normal variants. </span>

<span style="color: #339966;">In terms of speed from fastest to slowest, the order is Infernal 3rd Age &gt; 3rd Age Axe &gt; Infernal Dragon Axe &gt; Dragon Axe</span>

<span style="color: #339966;">2: **The dragon axe and infernal dragon axe** requires a wc lvl of 61 to use and are the 4th and 3rd best axes in game, respectively</span>  
<span style="color: #339966;">You can buy it from online players, get it as a drop from Dagannoth Kings, or buy it at the skilling points shop for 150k skilling points (+100k points for the smouldering stone).</span>

<span style="color: #339966;">3: **The 3rd age axe** and **Infernal 3rd age axe** are the second best and best axes, respectively, in the tool slot for Woodcutting, and are usually quite expensive but worth the cost.</span>  
<span style="color: #339966;">You can buy it from online players, get it from hard clues/elite clues if you're lucky or buy it from the skilling points shop for 1.5m skilling points (+100k points for the smouldering stone).</span>

<span style="color: #339966;">4: **Woodcutting caskets** provides you with all sorts of woodcutting based stuff (logs, hatchets etc.).  
If your lucky, you can also get Lumberjack pieces out of it. **The Lumberjack set gives a small XP bonus whilst Woodcutting.** The full lumberjack set provides at 10% exp boost.
