Choppin the Willow Chops

[tpdx]

Hey guys! I'm new here.

 

 

 

I have an account called Dr Choppuh. On this account, I chop. Chop the woods. The willow woods by Draynor.

 

 

 

At my rate, I seem to chop a few hundred a day. I get on from time to time to chop the chop with my fellow choppers.

 

 

 

Currently, I am 53 woodcutting. How long do you think it would take me to get to 60 to cut Yews?

 

 

 

Should I cut the yews when I get to 60? Or stick with the willows?

 

 

 

How long do you think it would take me to get 99 through willows? If I play an hour or two a day? Through Yews?

 

 

 

Thanks for your responses guys!

 

 

 

I'll be chopping the chops.

I imagine you could average 45k xp/hr if you went for 99 on willows. So just short of 300 hours, roughly. If you're playing that long it probably would be worth getting membership to shave off about a third of that time...getting 99 in f2p is usually not worth it, especially in a skill like woodcutting where you don't get any rewards for it.

 

 

 

Yews aren't really terrific profit even for free players, especially at low levels. I don't think it would be worth it to chop them.

Hm.. 45k per hour with banking? I'm not exactly paying attention 100%, just listening to myself chop whilst doing other things. So I'll round down, maybe 35-40k.

 

 

 

I want the challenge of obtaining the skill whilst in F2P, and I don't wish to pay $5 a month to chop wood.

 

 

 

And how would I make money any other way other than Yews? I'm a level 3 with no skills but woodcutting. I like to chop!

You could chop yews if you wanted, they just aren't particularly impressive compared to mining and cooking and such. For example, buying and selling at median, you could make about 100k gp/hr by buying anchovies and plain pizza and using them together.

 

 

 

By the way, I've been testing oaks and it seems there's a level where they max out in speed with a log about every 4 swings of the hatchet. I don't know where that level is because I didn't notice it until I was 99 already, but when you hit it, it's possible that oaks will be better than willows for some period of time. I think, based on a similar phenomenon in mining, that it would be as soon as you start using a rune hatchet, but I don't know. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Oaks being better exp than willows? I'm 53, nearing 54 woodcutting. Am I passed this time frame?

Like I said, no idea. :oops:

 

 

 

I wanted to test it, but I'm too high-level. So I made a new character to try it out at lower levels, but now my internet has gone spotty and I can't rely on staying logged in long enough for any data. You'll have to try it for yourself.

But then I'll have to leave my precious willow chopping sticks! :o

 

 

 

Obviously, oaks would be better than willows for profit, since willows don't sell and oaks do, for twice the price of a willow I might add. And I think normal logs sell for about the same as oaks.

 

 

 

Hm... I was just playing with the calculators, and I'll need about 190k more willows for 99, or 2k more willows to 60 and 72k yews to 99, which would give me a pure profit of 36 million lovely coins.

 

 

 

Just got 54 choppings and 2k willows in the handy bank as we speak.
