Optimizing Your Old School RuneScape Woodcutting Grind
Woodcutting is one of the most iconic skills in Old School RuneScape (OSRS). Whether you are a fresh level 3 skiller or a main account aiming for the prestigious 99 skill cape, knowing exactly how many logs you need to cut is essential for planning your time and potential profit.
How the XP Table Works
OSRS uses a non-linear experience curve. While level 1 to 2 only requires 83 XP, moving from level 98 to 99 requires over 1.2 million XP. This calculator uses the standard OSRS experience formula to determine exactly where you stand and how far you have to go.
Popular Training Methods
- Levels 1-15: Normal trees are the only option. Cut trees anywhere in Lumbridge or Varrock.
- Levels 15-30: Oak trees offer faster XP. Found abundantly near Draynor Village.
- Levels 30-60: Willows at Draynor Village are the F2P meta, while P2P players might switch to Teaks at level 35 for tick-manipulation methods.
- Levels 60-90: Yew trees become available at level 60, offering high profit but slower XP rates compared to Teaks or Maples.
- Levels 90-99: Redwoods (requires 90 WC) in the Woodcutting Guild provide the most AFK experience in the game.
Maximizing Efficiency
To speed up your woodcutting training, ensure you are using the best axe available for your level. Upgrading from a Rune Axe to a Dragon Axe (requires level 61) provides a special attack that boosts your visible woodcutting level by +3, increasing your gathering success rate. For the ultimate efficiency, the Crystal Axe (requires level 71 and Song of the Elves) is the best in slot tool.
