Woodcutting

Woodcutting is a gathering skill that primarily involves chopping trees to obtain logs used in the Fletching and Firemaking skills. Both Woodcutting level and tier of axe determines players' speed of chopping logs. Players with high enough Attack levels can equip the axes, but having an axe equipped is not necessary in order to chop a tree; having one in the player's inventory also works.

Infernal axe

The Infernal axe is a special axe that requires level 61 Woodcutting to use. It is created by using a Smouldering stone on a Dragon axe, requiring level 61 Woodcutting and level 85 Firemaking to create. While chopping a tree with the Infernal axe in the inventory or equipped, there is a 1/3 chance that the logs will be consumed as they are chopped, giving half of the Firemaking experience that would usually be gained by burning them the normal way.

AFK Zone

In the AFK Zone located at home you can AFK chop the "Golden tree" which gives around 150k xp/hr. Additionally, there are "Cyber Palm"s in the donator zone (::dz).
