Having reached Level 92 in Woodcutting (Going for 99 : ), I think I am at a position where I can provide first hand information on how to train woodcutting effectively. This is my first attempt at a guide so please bear with me. I'll add images as the guide keeps progressing. Some of the information has been taken from the Runescape Knowledgebase

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

I. Introduction

 

One of the simplest ways in which people make a living in RuneScape, is by cutting down trees. The Woodcutting skill can benefit you in many ways, many of which involves using your logs for Firemaking, or members can use them to fletch items. Logs also sell for huge amounts of Geepee. :D

 

 

 

To cut a tree you need to either equip an axe or have it in your inventory and click on a tree. The type of trees you cut depends upon your woodcutting level.

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

II. Equipment

 

The skill has two types of equipment. Axes and Machetes. This guide will deal only with Axes. These are of eight types. They are listed below with woodcutting levels required to use them.

 

 

 

1. Bronze Axe - Lvl 1

 

2. Iron Axe - Lvl 1

 

3. Steel Axe - Lvl 6

 

4. Black Axe - Lvl 6

 

5. Mithril Axe - Lvl 21

 

6. Adamant Axe - Lvl 31

 

7. Rune Axe - Lvl 41

 

8. Dragon Axe - Lvl 61*

 

 

 

Always use the best Axe possible.

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

III. Free Play

 

Free Players have 4 types of logs that they can gather.

 

 

 

1. Regular Logs - Lvl 1

 

2. Oak Logs - Lvl 15

 

3. Willow Logs - Lvl 30

 

4. Yew Logs - Lvl 60

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

That covers the basic information. Now for the training part.

 

 

 

IV. Lvl 1 - 15

 

 

 

 

 

 

You'll be cutting regular trees for your first few levels. Head towards the city of Varrock and go north west of the west bank. There are a lot of regular trees there.

 

 

 

 

 

 

You need to cut 97 regular logs for Lvl 15 WC. Banking them would be a good idea as it'll fetch 2813 gp. Not much but something is better than nothing. Switch over to steel/black axe once you have the rewuired Lvl.
