An Elder evil tree can be found while playing the Distractions and Diversions game Evil Tree. It is unique because it does not have a normal counterpart like the other evil trees do. Since neither Elder trees nor Elder logs exist in Gielinor, an Elder evil tree rewards random types of logs to players when defeated. This tree has the highest requirements of any evil tree, with 85 Woodcutting to chop it, 85 Firemaking to set fire to it, and 42 Farming to nurture it (when it is a sapling). Also, the Elder evil tree is the hardest tree to defeat, but it also grants the most experience.

ExperienceEdit

• When the tree is still a sapling, Farming experience can be gained for nurturing it. No items are required for Nurturing.
• When the tree is fully grown, chopping the roots and the tree itself gains Woodcutting experience.
• When a root vanishes, the player gains Evil tree kindling, which can be used on the tree to set fire to a part of it. This awards Firemaking experience.

The Ring of fire and Flame gloves give no additional experience, and the Inferno adze will not automatically light any kindling received. You cannot use boosting items, such as a beaver to cut this tree. You must have a true 85 woodcutting level.

RewardsEdit

• Experience (Farming and Firemaking, or Woodcutting)
• Teak logs (noted)
• Yew logs (noted)
• Magic logs (noted)
• Mahogany logs (noted)
• Bird nests
• Tooth half of a key

• After the tree has been killed, the Leprechaun will bank any additional logs cut for up to 30 minutes (after you have a full inventory).

TriviaEdit

• The tree appears to have a moustache, as there is a grey area above the 'mouth', which also refers to 'elder'.
• The Elder Evil Tree is the only Evil Tree without a normal tree counterpart.
• Cutting down an Elder evil tree is one of the few ways to gain a part of the Crystal triskelion key.
