The Teak tree is a dainty tree that can be found in various locations at the rare tree 
icon. Level 35 Woodcutting is required to chop down this tree. As of 23 September 2009 they have a chance to give a Special Log, which can be traded with the Sawmill operator for money or a conversion of logs in your inventory into planks.
Teak trees can be found in these locations:
- South-west of Castle Wars (only 1)
- Scattered around the Kharazi Jungle (Dangerous area, Legends quest required) - 3 at western icon and 2 at middle icon
- South-east Ape Atoll (3)
- Mos Le'Harmless
- South-east of the Ruins of Uzer, in the very northeast part of the Kharidian Desert (only 1)
- Near Tai Bwo Wannai in Hardwood grove (9) (requires participating in the Tai Bwo Wannai Cleanup and 100 trading sticks)
- Also can be found on Miscellania, after completing the Royal Trouble quest. Please note players cannot actually chop this down to get logs, but players can get them through Managing Miscellania.
The first location introduced to have teak trees and the one that has most of them is Hardwood grove in Tai Bwo Wannai.
Along with Mahogany logs, Teak logs are used mainly for Construction, but they can also be burnt for 105 Firemaking experience points. They can also be made into a crossbow stock, giving 27 Fletching experience.
Although teak trees are fairly unknown, they have been proven to be more experience per hour than willow trees. Before the introduction of Ivy, Teaks were considered the fastest power-training available for the Woodcutting skill. Since all teak trees are a fair distance away from a bank, players wishing to train on them will have to drop the logs they cut or burn them. Even considering the time spent dropping logs, teaks offer a maximum of 84,400 experience an hour, much more than the second fastest experience, willows.
A good tactic is to go to Castle Wars; there is a teak just south-west of it. Chop it until you got a full inventory, then use a Ring of duelling and repeat the process, gaining approximately 50k exp an hour and 40k worth of gp.
[edit] Trivia
- As they cannot be grown by the farming skill, the leprechaun effect of auto-banking rewarded from killing Evil Trees does not work on these trees.
