Today we had an interesting discussion in [?] about gathering skills (mining, woodcut, fishing, etc.) and whether higher levels would help you gather materials faster. Most people have said that higher levels would indeed help, but it seems that may not be true. We ran 2 tests both at willows for woodcut. First one: 75 WC vs 96 WC. At the end of the time period, both had the same amount of logs. Second one: 75 WC vs 99 WC. At the end of the time period, the 99 WC only had 1 more log. Both were done in relatively short amounts of time. Doing more tests may yield more accurate results, as well as longer tests but it'd be hard to keep things the same in longer tests. And to the point of my thread, anyone want to aid in this experiment? For now, I'm just gathering results for Woodcut. To help, just woodcut for and time how long it takes you to get 28 logs (full inventory). To keep results consistent, please use a rune woodcut axe, and use an empty tree. Then post your results. If you feel like doing more than 1 test, it'd help :D . [i've also sent this question to JaGEx in hopes they'll respond, but this is just in case I get an automated message] Example:
