Woodcutting

Woodcutting is a skill that is widely used by many players as it can be used to create a steady flow of money. This skill is closely related to Firemaking and Fletching, as in both of these skills contain the use of logs, that are obtained with the woodcutting skill.

How to Woodcut
Woodcutting is an easy skill. Only one thing is needed, a woodcutting hatchet. If you want, and if you have a high enough attack level, you can equip the hatchet to save an inventory space. Once the hatchet is equiped, a player should click on any tree that has a 'chop down' option. This will then initiate the woodcutting animation. The higher a players level, and the better the hatchet they have (and can use) the faster it will be to cut down a tree.

Types of Hatchets
Hatchets are used to cut trees down, and trees cannot be cut down without a hatchet. The higher the level hatchet, the faster it is to cut a tree.

The Woodcutting Cape of Achievement
The woodcutting cape of achievement (more commonly known as a skillcape ) is worn to signify that a player has obtained level 99 in the woodcutting skill. It can be bought for 99,000 coins from Wilfred, just north of Falador crossroads and south of ice mountain. If this is a players first 99 in any skill, the cape will not have a coloured trim. If a player already has one or more, the cape will have a coloured trim to signify that the player has more than one level at 99. For the 99k that you pay, you will get a Woodcutting Hood and a Woodcutting Cape.
