Im about to hit 74 woodcutting on one of my characters and I am currently cutting yews at 75 I plan on switching to magics may or may not do that but anyways is it worth me buying a d axe? Is there a noticeable difference opposed to using a rune axe? Please help me out guys...

A dragon wc axe gives you about 15% more the chop speed, so if you're in it for the long run it's definitely worth the investment, best of luck.

If you are going for big goals worths it ;)

Here is the data I can give you:

 

 

 

 

 

Tree logs xp ......... Magic 250 .. Yew 175 .. Mample 100 .. Willows 67.5 .. Oak 37.5 .. Hollow 82.5 .. Mahogany 125 ... Teak 85 .. Artic 40

 

Rune axe each log .... Magic 33s .. Yew 14s .. Mample 8s ... Willows 4.0s .. Oak 2.5s .. Hollow 4.5s .. Mahogany 4.6s .. Teak 4s .. Artic

 

Dragon axe each log .. Magic 21s .. Yew 13s .. Mample 6s ... Willows 3.8s .. Oak 2.4s .. Hollow 4.5s .. Mahogany 4.0s .. Teak 3s .. Artic

Thanks for that data =] Looks like its a lot more useful on magics then yews

Q) Tyky95 - How much better is a dragon axe compared to rune? Is the dragon axe really worth having?

 

 

 

A) Mod Mark - Yes! I chatted to our balancing department about this today and learnt the following:

 

 

 

Dragon axes are approximately 5 to 10% better than rune axes. This depends entirely on what sort of tree you are hitting and what your current Woodcutting level is, but its roughly 5-10% better. Having a better axe means more logs and therefore more xp. The nice thing about dragon axes is that they are rare enough to hold their trade values this means you can be relatively safe in the knowledge that you can buy one and resell it. Any extra logs you did get from using it would more than pay for any money you might lose from a shifting resell price, assuming you used it efficiently while you were trying it out.

 

 

 

Mod Roderick Even if you only notice a small difference between two tools, over time the difference will really add up. It's always pleasing to find threads which discuss such issues, where people take the effort to test items and publish their findings on the forums.

 

Yeah, the d axe is worth it.

I may have dunne one error on that. I need to confirm.
