Willow logs

From the RuneScape Wiki, the wiki for all things RuneScape

Willow logs

Willow logs are logs which can be cut from willow trees using the Woodcutting skill. Cutting willow logs from a willow tree requires an axe and level 30 Woodcutting, and grants 67.5 Woodcutting experience per log. Due to this a full inventory will give you 1890 experience. Players can burn willow logs using the Firemaking skill and a tinderbox. This requires level 30 Firemaking, and grants 90 Firemaking experience per log. In addition, members trained in the art of barbarian firemaking can light willow log fires with a bow instead of a tinderbox at level 35, also yielding 90 experience per log. They can also create pyre ships from willow logs at level 40 along with level 40 crafting a tinderbox or bow, a hatchet, and chewed bones or mangled bones, giving 22.5 crafting experience and 90 firemaking experience.


Prior to the December 10, 2007 update, macroers would often chop down willow trees (most notably the ones south of Draynor) in order to get their levels up to chop down Yew Trees, which is against Rule 7. They would also sell them on the real world market as well.

Members may also use the Fletching skill and a knife to carve willow logs into unstrung willow shortbows, unstrung willow longbows or willow stocks. This requires levels 35, 40, and 39 Fletching and grants 33.3, 41.5, and 22 Fletching experience, respectively. Willow logs are also the tertiary ingredient in infusing Beaver pouches.

Willow logs are also used to travel to Varrock using the Balloon Transport System.

[edit] Market

Before the creation of the Grand Exchange, they used to sell for 30 coins each. However, since they require such a low level to cut, there was an oversupply, which is why they rest at the much lower (30%) price they do today.

It is difficult to sell in the Grand Exchange.

[edit] Trivia

  • Although Willow Logs require a higher woodcutting level, they cost less than both regular logs and oak logs, coming from the high supply of them due to the high amount of people constantly training by cutting them.  This is also because logs come only once at a time, and both logs and oak logs are used in construction, while willow logs are only used for firemaking and low level fletching, and give mediocre experience compared to the favored maple logs.
  • Willow Trees only grow by bodies of water, such as ponds, lakes, rivers, and seas.
