This is the Ironman/ Hardcore Ironman Woodcutting Guide, the guide for regular players is found Here.

Woodcutting is a gathering skill that primarily involves chopping trees to obtain logs used in the Fletching and Firemaking skills. Players with a higher Woodcutting level can chop down new types of trees and cut down trees quicker. As levels increase, players can use better hatchets which further increase the speed of cutting trees.

Hatchets

Hatchet	Hatchet Picture	Level
Bronze Hatchet		1
Iron Hatchet		1
Steel Hatchet		6
Black Hatchet		11
Mithril Hatchet		21
Adamant Hatchet		31
Rune Hatchet		41
Dragon Hatchet		61
Inferno Adze		61

Smithing

As an ironman, you cannot simply buy the hatchets from the store. You will have to make them yourself using the Smithing skill. You can create all hatchets from Bronze - Rune this way.

Skilling Shop

The Dragon Hatchet and Inferno Adze can be bought from the Skilling Point Store, this can be found by trading Max either at Edgville, or at the Donator Zone. The inferno adze has the same cutting power of the Dragon Hatchet, but when using it, players have a 1/3 chance of receiving the Firemaking experience that you would normally get for making a fire from the type of log the user is currently cutting.

For HCIM it would be best to get 99 Woodcutting in the following order if you are trying to get to level 99 in all skills.

Level 1 to level 21 regular logs. Level 21 to level 31 oak logs. Level 31 to level 45 willow logs. Level 45 to level 61 maple logs. Level 61 to level 75 yew logs. Level 75 to level 99 & 350M xp Magic logs.

If you are playing HCIM you won’t have loads of bank space. So banking all the logs isn’t an option. We talked about combined skilling and you’ll think it would be good to instantly burn the logs or fletch the logs. Correct, if you don’t have an Inferno adze ready at level 61. You can however bank: Maple logs, Yews logs and Magic logs. (Willow too if you have the bank space.)

Tree Locations

Camelot

Camelot is the best place to train Woodcutting, as it has every type of tree close to a bank.

• Normal Trees can be found all around Camelot.
• Oak Trees can be found south of the Camelot teleport.
• Willow Trees can be found north-west of the bank.
• Maple Trees can be found directly north of the bank.
• Yew Trees can be found in the courtyard of the church south of the bank.
• Magic Trees can be found directly south of the bank.

Futher south of Camelot, you can find 4 Magic Trees that are often not being used, this is a nice place if you want a less populated area. However, it is quite a long walk from the bank. A map on how to find these trees is shown below.

Donator Zone

Donors and Super Donors also have access to another high level woodcutting area. Which is conveniently close to a bank. There are five Magic Trees and two Willow Trees located in this area. They are found to the east of where you will teleport in.

- 500 regular logs - 500 oak logs - 500 willow logs - 500 maple logs - 250 yew logs - 250 magic logs

This will help you level up your Firemaking or Fletching.

The Skill Cape

If you reach level 99 in Woodcutting, you can talk to the Wise Old Man at home to obtain the Skill cape. He is located at home, in the building north of the bank.

The 99 cape costs 150K Gp and comes with a matching hood. Both the Woodcutting cape and hood give +9 bonus to all defense stats.

If you reach 350m experience in the Woodcutting skill you will also unlock the ability to buy the Master Woodcutting Cape. It is exactly the same as the normal Skill cape. However, you can adjust the trim colour to whatever you like. This cape costs 2.5m Gp.
