Power Woodcutting, its worth it - a mostly F2P view

Featured Replies

curious of wether Power wood cutting willows was actually worth it I took the liberty of gathering a bit of data on the subject. I went over to the Rimmington yews at night so that i would be completely alone. I timed my self on how long it would take to get a full load of yews when cutting trees non stop alone.

 

 

 

Here are the results:

 

 

 

These statistics were taken with a wc level of 80 and a rune hatchet.

Procedure:

 

begin at a position away from the trees

 

while run is disabled, click the trees

 

as soon as the "You Begin to chop the tree" message appears, start the timer

 

when a tree goes down, run to the next contunue chopping

 

as soon as the inventory fills, stop the timer

 

 

 

Conclusion:

 

Its well worth it to power cut willows for exp, as long as someone takes care of disposing the willows (say to burn them). Considering how busy yew tree locations that are close to the bank are, the rate at which one gains exp is well over 50% greater with willow trees compared to yews. Furthermore, if someone is to help you power train wc by burning the logs, that someone will be at a great disadvantage gaining firemaking exp (43% less then willow power wc).

But no one posted "Need help on chopping exp (F2P)" so unless someone did then this should be posted there, other wise it doesn't belong here. Or did they change the meaning of the "Help & Adice" forum?

No, this forum is for asking for help, or giving advice by posting on other people's threads. I know this for a fact because I've had this argument with mods. This is more of a tip, which belongs in that tip sticky in General Discussion.

Like I said, the "giving advice" bit means that you post on other people's threads. Again, like I said, this is a tip, which belongs in that tip sticky. Although I did get the forum wrong, it's in the General Guides forum.

Only to those who have asked for help. No one asked for help so it doesn't belong here.
