Whomping Woods

Welcome to the Whomping Woods. Let's kick it off with a small runthrough of how to get there, what the different drops are, how to use them and what they do for your account.

Getting there

The lobby can be found by using the fairy ring west of home or use the ::ww command. Once the minigame starts, go inside the cave entrance! Don't forget an axe and tinderbox.

Spiritlogs and Souls

Spirit logs

Cursed Spirit Trees

These trees can only be chopped after purchasing the Spellbound permit from Barlock, for 15k Trading sticks. While chopping these trees, you will receive Cursed kindling with a 1/300 chance to receive a Cursed spirit log instead. The Cursed kindling you can use on Barlock to purify.

The Purified kindling is stackable, and you can use them as an afk Firemaking method, when used on the Eternal bonfire inside the Whomping Woods lobby.

Giant Troll
These spawn in while doing the minigame, 5 per minigame. These Giant Trolls drop Cursed spirit logs at a 1/200 rate.

Souls

Souls can be obtained by depositing a Soul shard into the Well of Souls or as a rare drop from a Giant Trolls 1/2k.

The Well pf Souls will spit out one of these 5 souls, at random. You do not choose which soul you get

Souls
	Focused soul
	Zealous soul
	Heroic soul
	Malevolent soul
	Devout soul

The strange machine

The strange machine is used to combine your Cursed spirit log with the soul of your choosing. Each fused log will burn for 30 minutes when placed into the eternal bonfire and will grant you it's corresponding unique effect during that time. (You can stack multiple of the same log to increase the time)

Buffs

The minigame

Once a game has started, you will notice a progress bar at the top of your screen.Your first objective is to fill this bar by chopping & depositing logs from the Achey trees found around the map. Every minute, the tree will rotate to a new position - so keep an eye out.

During this process, at every 20% interval a Giant Troll will spawn and head towards the firepit. Players will need to equip their hatchets to kill it as soon as possible before he starts removing logs.

Once the firepit is full, you can begin lighting the logs - granting a large sum of firemaking experience and contributing towards completing the phase.

After the firepit is fully lit, the Whomping Willow will spawn. It will lean back and slam in the opposite direction, knocking back and damaging any players who fail to move out of the way. Avoid this and attack the Whomping Willow using your axe to defeat it.

Rewards

Trading sticks

For each achey tree log you deposit into the ceremonial firepit, you get 3 Trading sticks.

Each time you hit the Whomping Willow at the end of the minigame, you get X amount of Trading sticks, dependant on which axe you have equipped. This does not mean you get more rolls on the unique table, just more trading sticks per swing.

NOTE axes are affected by the Swift Strike Perk.
