Woodcutting Skill Guide

Woodcutting is a skill used to cut logs from trees. These logs can be used in fletching and firemaking.

To chop down a tree, just left click on a tree to start chopping. If you have an axe in your inventory and sufficient woodcutting level, you will attempt to chop down the tree.
More powerful axes will increase your chance of cutting down the tree.
