Talk:Lumberjack clothing

i'm pretty sure they arent tradeable

the 4.5 percent is wrong. when you cut a magic log, you get 256 xp, the 6 xp being a 2.4 percent increase. the actually xp might actually be 256.x, but it still isn't 4.5 percent.

Settle Down
^that kid

Equally probable - NOT
Mod Sallyd can say whatever she likes, but I've been trying to get a top for hours and I know perfectly well it's rarer than the other parts. She doesn't know what she's talking about, and I've told her so on the forums. Thezmothete 16:16, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
 * A Jagex mod doesn't know about part of the game her company runs? ...okay...WWTDD? 16:18, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm willing to stick with Mod Sallyd. Until she (or another) Jagex mod states otherwise, she has made the only official statement on the rareness of the top. 20:21, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
 * WWTDD, have you actually tried to get a top? Gaz_Lloyd, I saw your posting; you appear to have had a grand total of eight lumberjack events. I have had over 100. You got a top quickly; that does not mean they are equally likely; it means you were lucky. Official statements be damned; her statement does not coincide with actual experience, mine or that of many other posters on that thread. Thezmothete 22:55, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I think those people just got a bad break. WWTDD? 22:56, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Try it for yourself. Thezmothete 17:16, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

NOT EQUAL!!
Just confirming that the top is rare. I have 17 Boots, 5 hats, 4 bottoms and no top! 0 tops in 26 events? yeah that's even : )


 * Strange... I have a full set, and I recall getting the top first. 17:06, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Some scientific evidence
I've carried out an experiment to see if tops are as likely as other pieces. The results were unexpected. To summarize, the drops are not entirely random; at some point, probably once the player has gathered all four pieces, no more clothing is dropped. I'm not sure about the top. It was rare under these circumstances. That may mean it's inherently rare, but it may also mean that you're more likely to get pieces you already have, and that pieces you don't have at all are rare. Another experiment would shed light on that, and I'll probably do one at some point, but for now I'm going to go cut a lot of wood :) Thezmothete 11:26, 27 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Having said that last part about the pieces being more likely if you already have them...does that mean dropping all but one of your boots will make the boots drop less likely? I think I'm going to try that, I have about 10 boots and 3 hats. I'll drop all but one and see if I get other pieces. Nuclear X2 16:55, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Trick to Getting Last Piece?
I also had a major trouble getting the last piece, being the lumberjack top (some people have trouble getting the leg piece). Then I found a post suggesting a way to get them quickly (QFC: 74-75-254-58324903, Page 2 by Powerbunny1), and the thread starter got it within 4 tries using his trick. I did it the same way, and I also got it in 3 tries (with the first 2 giving me the relatively semi-rare leg pieces). I wonder if this would apply to everyone else and may be included into the article? Red X 226 10:42, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
 * That technique is rubbish. If you got it after doing it then it was pure luck. I tried that method for days with nothing to show for it. The fastest way is just to take the hardest person through route 1 (easy) and just skip all combat events. When I swapped to using this methof for temple trekking i got all the pieces within a few hours. -- 12:39, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
 * It says that topic no longer exists, could you please describe the technique? Nuclear X2 17:10, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
