Evil Tree

Evil Tree is a part of Distractions and Diversions, released on 25 February 2009. This event can be done twice a day and helps players train their Woodcutting, Firemaking, and Farming skills.



Removing the tree
When confronting the tree, there will be four roots surrounding the tree. Players may either chop down the roots or just chop the tree. If one were to chop the roots, they will be given Evil tree kindling. Once players have these kindling, they can attempt to set the tree on fire to do continuous damage. A player can set up to eight fires around the tree.

Tree Information
The trees work the same as the Star hunting system. The tree's show signs as well. When you are star hunting, you see a giant cloud of black fog fly over you and smash to the ground. As with the tree's you see roots shoot out from the ground, giving you signs that the evil tree is coming.

Rewards
When the tree is still a sapling Farming experience can be gained for nurturing it. No items are required for that. When the tree is fully grown chopping the roots and the tree itself gains Woodcutting experience. When a root vanishes the player gains Evil tree kindlings which can be used on the tree to set fire to a part of the tree. This awards Firemaking experience.

When the tree is killed additional rewards are given. This final reward is based off the damage that players contributed to the tree. Players may see their damage and the remaining health of the tree by using the "inspect" option. Players can get the following items from the evil tree as a reward: The following table shows the maximum reward possible:
 * Noted logs of the same type as the tree (Elder trees offer noted yew, magic, teak or mahogany logs)
 * Bird's nest
 * Clue Scroll
 * Key Halves
 * Coins
 * Ability to have logs teleported to the players bank while woodcutting if their inventory is full for up to 30 minutes. (Players wishing to take advantage of this feature should consider cutting trees which yield logs very fast. In addition, filling your inventory with logs will take full advantage of the special reward. Because of their proximity, Draynor Vilage bank and the willow trees to the south-west are a prime location for taking advantage of the reward.)
