The initial mood concept art of bamboo.

Bamboo stalks are a type of tree that can be found on Waiko, Tuai Leit, and commonly found on uncharted isles within The Arc. They can be chopped at level 90 Woodcutting, harvesting bamboo upon success, awarding 202.5 Woodcutting experience.

15 bamboo plants can be found scattered south-eastern of Waiko's market, and two bamboo plants can be found on the western shore of Tuai Leit.

Experience rates

At level 99 Woodcutting a player using a crystal hatchet can expect to gain an average of 74,000 experience cutting bamboo, profiting 715 chimes an hour if the bamboo is bundled and sold.

Using the complete lumberjack clothing set, a dose of a perfect juju woodcutting potion, and a hatchet with the Honed 5 and Furnace 3 Invention perks, a player may gain an average of 100,000 Woodcutting experience and 822 chimes an hour if harvests are sold.

Boosts

• Woodcutting boosts such as the Lumberjack aura and Honed Invention perk will affect the rates bamboo are obtained at.
• Players under the effect of a perfect juju woodcutting potion will have a chance to harvest double the bamboo on successful harvests.
• A Dwarven chainaxe's double resource mode allows players to harvest two bamboos on successful harvests, sacrificing any experience gained.

Trivia

• Before an update, bamboo awarded 120 Woodcutting experience per cut.
