Hey guys, another skilling guide from me
This time it's woodcutting and firemaking, two of the easiest, yet also the most boring in the game. The beautiful thing is, other than a set of hatchets and a tinderbox, you really do not need anything else.
Inventory:
Bronze hatchet
Mithril hatchet
Rune hatchet
Dragon hatchet
If you talk to Max, who is right next to the bank, he will teleport you to the Woodcutting skill area. There are normal trees, oak trees, willow trees, and maple trees around. I personally never bothered with willow trees though in hindsight it might have been worth it to chop some of them down. There is a bank near the trees as well so running to the bank is never a problem
.
Level 1-10: Normal Trees
Level 10-30: Oak Trees
Level 30-60: Willow Trees
Level 60-99: Maple Trees
This is what I would use if I had to re-train woodcutting, obviously everyone may have different preferences and decide they want to switch to a different tree type at a different tree level. Don't forget to switch out your hatchets as you increase in level, it really does speed up the process.
Firemaking:
Luckily, firemaking gives more exp per log than woodcutting does, so you don't need to buy any extra logs, in face you will have plenty left over (I still have 130 maple logs in my bank). The only downside is, firemaking requires constant clicking and takes longer than woodcutting.
Inventory: Tinderbox
Level 1-??: Use up your Normal logs
Level ??-??: Use up your oak logs
Level ??-??: Use up all your willow logs
Level ??-99: Maple logs all the way to 99
*The question marks are there because I do not know what level you will end up with after using up the logs.
The best place to train firemaking is above the home bank, next to the furnace. It will allow you to do almost a full inventory at a time before having to go back or get more logs.
It took me around 4-6 hours to finish each skill, some people might be faster if they really stay with it, but I was always doing something else.
Thanks for all the support on the first guide,
