Pay-to-play Woodcutting training

This is a guide for training Woodcutting.

Level 1 through 14
Players can cut regular trees. 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.

Good Experience - Regular trees (1-29)
Players can still get decent experience out of regular trees, but it is strongly recommended that they move on to oak trees, mainly because they give multiple logs per tree and gives more experience per log cut.

Fast Experience - Oaks (15-29)
Players can cut oak trees. 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 southwest of Varrock and northwest of Lumbridge.

Fast Experience - Willows (30-99)
Players can cut willow trees. 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 you 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 the 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 the Barbarian Outpost that can be used to dump your Willow logs into your 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 great volume of them.

Members Fast Experience - Teaks (35-99)
Teaks are excellent experience for any member once they have at least level 35 Woodcutting. Unfortunately, these trees are scattered across RuneScape and are hard to find. One spot that is highly recommended is the small grove in Tai Bwo Wannai, which costs 100 trading sticks to enter. However, to bank players must leave the grove and send the logs by Rionasta. It costs 10 trading sticks for each item you send, 270 total if you have only trading sticks in your inventory. If the player does not wish to spend the trading sticks, they must drop the logs.

Players who wish to bank the logs or do not want to pay should go to the tree southwest of Castle Wars. To minimize banking time, players can bring a Ring of Duelling to teleport back to the Castle Wars bank once they have a full inventory. However, banking the logs will give noticeably less experience per hour, so it is better to simply drop the logs if one is looking for fast experience.

Three more Teak trees can be found on Ape Atoll, but to cut these, a greegree is essential. Otherwise, players will be attacked by poisonous creatures. The teaks on Ape Atoll are extremely far from a bank, so it is advised to only cut these for experience.

Members Fast experience and cash - eucalyptus (70-99)
Eucalyptus trees are probably the mostunder-rated tree in runescape, requiring lvl 58 wcing. Not only can you rake in 120k+ per hour, but u can also get 50k+ xp an hour. The requirements for banking are "zogre Flesh Eaters" quest, and to have at least started "as a first resort." Dropping or burning on the spot is not reccomended due to how close the bank is and how much they are worth.

Alternative Route (members)
At level 45, players can cut maple trees. If players wish to take a break from cutting willows or teaks, they can cut maples along the way. Good places to cut are north of Seer's Village, near the Seer's Village bank. Players should not use this method for too long, as it does not give good experience nor does it provide a profit. However, if one wants to maximize experience, it is recommended that you begin chopping maple trees at woodcutting level 90.

Money Making & Fast Experience - Yews (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.

Members Money Making - Magics (85-99)
Once players hit level 85, they can cut down magic trees at a fair rate. Some good places to cut are near the Agility Course in the Tree Gnome Stronghold, next to the Mage Training Arena, and east of the Ranging Guild. Due to the rareness of these trees, there will almost always be at least one other person cutting the same tree. Other areas are either too hard to get to or too far from a bank.

Another method for cutting mages can be utilized after completing Mourning's Ends Part 1. Kill elves until you have enough elf teleport crystals to suit your needs, and get them charged. Use them to cut the magics near the Eluned respawn point. When you have 27 magics, you can use the elf crystal to teleport to Lletya and bank. Be careful, though, as there are high-level Dire wolves outside of the city.

It is strongly recommended that players do not cut these trees for experience, since they are slow to cut, populated, and have a slow respawn time.
