- For training this skill, see the Woodcut training article.
Woodcut is a skill available on RuneScape Classic. The skill consists of cutting down trees and obtaining logs. A higher woodcutting level will give players more trees to cut and a better chance of chopping down a tree. After having been cut down, a tree will respawn after a certain amount of time.
It is possible to fail to cut a tree, in which the message, You slip and fail to hit the tree.
, appears. The player doesn't get the logs, and the tree remains standing. If the player fails to cut the tree, they must click again.
Types of logs
Many different kinds of logs can be gathered with the woodcutting skill at increasingly higher woodcutting levels. All logs can be used to make bows with the fletching skill. Furthermore, logs can be burnt with the firemaking skill. However, unlike RuneScape 2, ONLY regular logs can be used for firemaking, not the higher level logs.
Type | Required Level | Experience |
---|---|---|
Logs | 1 | 25 |
Oak logs | 15 | 37.5 |
Willow logs | 30 | 62.5 |
Maple logs | 45 | 100 |
Yew logs | 60 | 175 |
Magic logs | 75 | 250 |
Types of axes
The better the axe, the better the chance of successfully chopping a tree and receiving logs. Unlike RuneScape 2, there is no woodcut level requirement to use each axe for woodcutting.
Bob's Brilliant Axes is a shop in Lumbridge that sells bronze to steel axes. Higher level axes can only be acquired through smithing, as a drop from certain NPCs, or by trading with other players.

Trivia
- Originally, there were only normal trees in Runescape Classic, and the experience gained when cutting trees raised with every level you gained (the formula was 28.25 + (level *1.75)).
- When the skill fletching was released, Jagex added new trees for members and made a fixed limit of experience on normal trees. It was 12.5 experience briefly and later changed to 25 experience. While Jagex compensated for this by adding one-click woodcutting, many players (especially free users) were upset that reaching a high-level woodcutting would take an unfortunately longer period of time.
- The first player to reach level 99 woodcutting was Everdred.
