Free-to-play Woodcutting training

Woodcutting in F2P worlds has a simple aim: earn cash by cutting Yew logs. Woodcuttig is not tedious to train as different logs are easily obtainable, and considerable experience is given. However, woodcutting needs patience to train and does not have an distinct option of power leveling like other skills.

Axes
Different axes are available to cut trees for F2P players, ranging from bronze to rune.

Level 1-14
Regular trees can be cut. There are many trees in the forest between Lumbridge and Draynor Village, and south of Falador. It is advised that players find a spot within a short distance from a bank so they can bank their logs and then sell or drop them. If you are looking to get another skill up as well, banked logs can be later be used to train Firemaking. A particularly good place for this is south of the Grand Exchange, as the area is abundant with trees and players can quickly bank or sell their logs at the Exchange.

Level 15-40
Oak trees can be cut. A good spot is east of Draynor Village's bank. Low level players should be careful here, as level 26 Jail Guards patrol the area. The area west of Varrock near the west bank is a good choice for lower leveled players. It is right next to a bank, so players can chop, bank, and then sell the logs. Other places are south-west of Varrock and north-west of Lumbridge.

Level 30-99
Willow trees can be cut. While it takes a long time until players can start cutting yew trees, it is recommended they stay with willows even after level 60 as the logs are cut at a quicker rate and with greater experience compared to other trees. A good spot to cut willows is beside Draynor Village, as there are five (5) willow trees there and a bank for quick easy banking. (It is usually crowded at that spot, but picking an empty server should lessen the amount of people. An even better idea is to choose one of the PvP worlds, as the experience players can receive working here can outweigh the dangers of training here). If banking is not desired, there are other good willow tree spots to the northeast Port Sarim, to the south of Rimmington, or to the north of Lumbridge.

For members, a site with six (6) willow trees can be found in the Seer's Village, just north of the bank. Another great place to cut down Willow trees is at Barbarian Outpost; the fastest way there is via teleportation using the Games necklace. There are 5 Willow trees total and a Bank Deposit Box inside Barbarian Outpost that can be used to dump willow logs into a player's bank, it is by far the best place to train your Woodcutting level. This is the fastest way to level 99, but the worst way to make money for woodcutters as willow logs only go for 18 gold pieces each. If players wish to make money while woodcutting, they should switch to yews at around level 80, as it is almost impossible to sell willow logs in the Grand Exchange due to the enormous volume of them.

Level 80-99
At level 80, players can cut yew trees at a decent rate. Keep in mind that the reason players should not start cutting yews at level 60 is because of the extremely slow rate at which the logs are obtained. Yews can be fast experience at level 80+. Using a Dragon axe increases the speed, therefore, resulting in more xp gained. This way is a very efficient way of getting xp and money fast. There are good spots behind Varrock Palace, a little bit west of Catherby, and by the entrance of Edgeville Dungeon, however these places can be quite crowded. There are four yew trees west of Rimmington, but they are a long distance from a bank, which does not make the spot very popular. A good way to bank these is either through the Cabbageport teleport system or by using a Ring of Duelling and a house teleport to bank in Castle Wars and grab the runes needed to teleport to the Rimmington house portal, a mere 5 steps away. There are also 3 yew trees south of the Falador east bank and 4 west of Draynor Village. If yews are cut with a dragon axe, they can be quite fast in xp and money.
