Yew logs detail

Yew logs are logs obtained from cutting yew trees, which requires at least level 60 Woodcutting for players to cut. They give 175 experience when cut with a regular hatchet, 350 experience when cut with a Sacred Clay hatchet or with Sköll boots equipped, and 385 when cut with a Volatile clay hatchet.

Players can burn these logs with the Firemaking skill at level 60. They give 202.5 experience when burned, or a maximum of 270.5 experience when added to a bonfire if other players are using the same one.

In member's worlds, Yew logs can also be made into bows and stocks using the Fletching skill. When the log is cut into an unstrung shieldbow, it yields 75 experience. Cutting an unstrung shortbow will give 67.5 experience. Stringing the unstrung bows will give the same experience as for cutting them.

These logs are currently the highest level of logs available to free players and as such, cutting them can be a good way to make money as a free player.

One full inventory of Yew logs gives exactly 4,900 Woodcutting experience (9,800 with sacred clay hatchet; 10,780 with volatile clay hatchet). Cutting and selling one full inventory of Yew logs would make 16,324 coins on the Grand Exchange. Yew tree locations are relatively few and scattered and also tend to be extremely crowded in free-to-play worlds. However, in a members' world there is a better chance of finding a less crowded location.

Players would need to cut 72,919 yew logs to go from 60 to 99 woodcutting. This would make the player 42,511,777 coins at current Grand Exchange price using this method.

Cutting yew logs from level 60 all the way to 200 million exp would earn the player 666,042,520 coins at current Grand Exchange price.

Yew logs can also be used to travel to Castle Wars on the Balloon Transport System, costing 10 logs on the initial trip, and 1 log for every trip following that.

15 yew logs are a possible prize from the Squeal of Fortune. When choosing the option to convert this prize to coins, players receive 2880 coins during the Double Cash period, implying that normally they would be converted to 1440 coins, which is 7,305 less than selling them on the Grand Exchange.

Yew logs and the economyEdit

Yew Fire
A yew log fire.
Yew logs are usually in high demand from players who are trying to train Fletching. Yew logs increased in price due to Jagex's updates aiming to eliminate the use of bots. The value of yew logs is mainly driven by the high alchemy value of Yew shieldbows (768 coins), which will pay almost completely for the yew logs and the nature runes needed to alchemize them.

With the advent of the Grand Exchange, trading Yew logs became easier, but much more competitive. Many players consider yew logs to be the best way to make money with woodcutting. Although magic logs are worth more per log, they are much slower to obtain than yew logs. Since yew logs are the highest logs available in F2P, they are a good source of profit to nonmembers, but yew tree spots are often very crowded, so bringing a rune hatchet is recommended. 

When the Trade and Drop update occurred on 10 December 2007, yew-cutting bots were almost completely eliminated from the game, causing the price of yew logs to rise drastically in the days that followed. This temporary spike was later followed by a corresponding drop in price. As cutting yews is a common method used by F2P bots, the price of yew logs is usually closely related to the number of bots operating in the game.
