Bloodwood tree

The Bloodwood tree is a tree that grows only in places of bloodshed such as the Wilderness or places related to a combat quest. It was released on 20 March 2012. The tree provides bloodwood logs, used in making bakriminel bolts. The logs will crumble to dust if taken a couple of steps away from the tree, and as such the bolts need to be fletched at the tree that they were cut from. For this reason, the player should first buy Bakriminel bolt tips from Mami Rimba before cutting a bloodwood tree.

Each log cut from the tree requires 85 Woodcutting, and grant 320 Woodcutting experience. Level 93 Fletching is also required to fletch the wood. Both of these skills can be assisted.

Like Farming trees, these trees are instanced per player and not per world. This also means the player can't world hop to cut more trees as once cut on one it counts for all. The trees cut very quickly, and provide only a few logs each. In order to reduce cutting time, it is advisable to bring along a Rune Hatchet or better regardless of which tree you are chopping.

Although the amount of logs received from each tree is random, the quality of the hatchet being used affects the number of logs the tree yields (much like resources in Demonheim). Therefore, using a dragon hatchet will result in substantially more logs on average than using a bronze hatchet.

Bloodwood trees take approximately six hours to grow back once cut. As a result, it is not possible to make the bolts very quickly.

The Inferno Adze can be used without issue since Bloodwood logs cannot be burnt by its effect.

Locations
Bloodwood trees can be found in only a few locations (Mami Rimba won't let the player use hers, which is located North-West of Edgeville). The location of the trees are marked on the world map and the mini map with a red tree symbol. Regular tree locations:

Note: If the player hasn't completed the relevant quest, they cannot see the tree.

Time to spawn
Once cut down, it will take 6 hours before the Bloodwood tree respawns.

Yield Amount (logs)
Typically the yield amount is one log per tree. Some players have, however, received 12 logs from one tree. With a Woodcutting level of 90 or higher, and using a rune or better hatchet, it is easy to receive upwards of fifteen logs per day. The tree south of the Pirate Hideout seems to give the most logs, though is the most dangerous to chop as it is located in very high level Wilderness. The type of hatchet being used does affect the yield amount but it has not been determined how much of an effect this actually has.

Trivia

 * Once fully chopped down, blood will squirt out from the stump of the tree.
 * The bloodwood shares its name with a tree indigenous to Australia, so-named because it appears to bleed red sap.
 * Right after the update, some players could not cut the tree in Darkmeyer. Clicking on the tree resulted in a text appearing saying "Nothing interesting happens".
