| Effectiveness | Level required | Details | Risk factors |
|---|---|---|---|
| ***** 14,000 to 19,000 | Level 1+ | Logs can be cut and sold for 37 coins each. Normal trees are found virtually everywhere around RuneScape, but do not give multiple logs per tree. The forest between Lumbridge and the Draynor Village, the Grand Exchange, and East Varrock are all convenient places to gather normal logs. All being close to a bank, these are effective ways to gather logs. Members may also do the normal Evil Tree which may be cut for noted logs, along with nests containing seeds, rings and a small amount of coins. Draynor Manor can also be a great place for these type of logs; a bank is relatively close. Regular logs also come from dead trees, dying trees, and evergreen trees. The bad thing is that each tree only holds one set of logs. Using a Seer's Headband will make each tree yield 2 logs. As you increase your woodcutting skill, the time it takes you to chop down a tree decreases, increasing your profit. | |
| ***** | Level 1+ | Achey tree logs can be cut and sold for about 201 coins each. Achey trees are found just south of Castle wars and like normal trees only give 1 log per tree. Banking is no issue as Castle wars has a bank of its own so this spot makes easy travel and is never populated. Since Achey logs are a high demand for making brutal arrows, selling on the Grand Exchange is no issue.(note that this method may not seem efficient as it will only yield about 5,628 coins per inventory, but the actual work is very quick and simple. | |
| ***** 17,000 | Level 15+ | Oak logs are in demand for the Construction skill, and sell for 39 coins each. Oak trees can be found in many places, most notably just east of the Draynor Village bank, east and west of Varrock, directly south of the Seer's Village bank, and south of the southern Falador gate. Members can also do oak Evil Trees for the same rewards but better logs. | |
| ***** 1,700 | Level 30+ | Willow logs sell for 9 coins each, and can be cut in many locations. However, only a few are actually used by players. They are the best trees to cut for training, and one can make a reasonable profit from selling them. The best locations to cut willow logs include:
As noted before, there are many more locations of willow trees, most of which are located next to some water. | |
| ***** | Level 45+ | Maple logs are commonly cut logs found north of the Seer's Village bank. These logs are nearly always in demand for Fletching and can be sold for 29 coins each. These can be sold in large quantities at the Grand Exchange or (sometimes) at the Seers' Village bank. | |
| ***** | level 50+ | Mahogany logs can actually be a very good source of money, if you are chopping in the tai bwo wannai village. be sure to take around 3000 trading sticks, which are very easily bought at the grand exchange. you can also get special mahogany logs in about 30 logs chopped, which can be traded to the sawmill vendor for a free conversion of all your teak amd mahogany logs in your inventory for two of those, meaning around 48k! doing this, you can get about 300 too 400k per hour, if you let Rionasta bank your logs. you might also come across a bird's nest, or a broodoo victim that was disturbed by someone hacking the jungle. if you meet a broodoo victim, it's recommended that you kill it, because the tribal mask it always drops is worth around 20k. (note: for each item banked, it requires 10 trading sticks.) | |
| ***** | Level 58+ | Eucalyptus logs - Currently the only location of eucalyptus trees is west of Oo'glog, and by Mobilising Armies. It was introduced 29 January 2008 with the As a First Resort... quest. eucalyptus logs are sold at the Grand Exchange for 428 coins each. Being close to a bank and extremely lightweight, this makes chopping eucalyptus trees a very efficient way to make money. It is advised to Bank at Mobilising Armies. | |
| ***** | Level 60+ | Yew logs sell for 457 coins each, and are almost always in high demand by players training Fletching and Magic. This makes cutting yew logs one of the most popular ways of making money. Take note, however, that yew logs may be slow to cut at first, so it is advised to level up to around level 65. A few yew trees are close to banks, but if you have 21 Agility and access to the Fairy ring system, you can use codes BLR(right next to a yew tree, with two more on the minimap) and DKR(a very short walk from a level 21 Agility shortcut into the Grand Exchange), you can make ~12k in a short fifteen minutes, while barely ever looking at the screen!
Other popular woodcutting locations are:

| ***** | Level 75+ | Magic logs can now be cut and sold for around 1,347 coins each. Note that magic logs are very slow to cut, no matter what hatchet is used and will cut at near the same rate whether you are level 75 or 99 Woodcutting. Therefore, it's recommended that you cut them with a dragon hatchet as they have the highest chopping rate. Though slow, cutting magic logs can still be an effective way to make money. Magic logs are almost always in high demand by players training Fletching. Take note, however, that magic logs will be slow to cut at first until you achieve around 90 Woodcutting. A few magic trees are close to banks:
