Hi all, I'm looking to train up WC using either ivy or the lumberyard. A few quick questions:

 

1. Does lumberjack boost the xp for either of these? (NB I already have it)

 

2. Does doing evil trees help in the lumberyard at all? What about with ivy?

 

3. Which way would people recommend I train? Not really interested in wc for profitability unless I'm missing something. More just aiming for lvl 85 for fun, really.

 

Thanks all!

Okay, here goes:

 

1. Yes, it has been proven to boost experience at Ivy. HOWEVER, I'm not too sure about at the lumberyard. I can't test it because I don't have lumberjack, maybe someone who does can test it for you :)

 

2. No. Because no banking is required for any of those activities, the bonus provided by the Evil Tree is not effective.

 

3. I would personally recommend Ivy if you prefer to semi-afk training. It provides a decent 70K+ exp an hour, but that is at 99. Lumberyard, although I didn't get any good estimates while I was there, is a reported 80-90K experience an hour, but requires a lot more focus.

 

Hope I was of any help :)

A big help, thank you! Sounds like I should go to try lumberyard out as a 20% pickup in xp per hour is fairly significant to say the least.

 

Does lumberyard xp go down a lot when you're only lvl 80 (as I am)?

If you haven't got Lumberjack yet i wouldn't go hunting for it in a hurry. After i hit 99 Woodcutting and did some errands i went for Lumberjack and it took me 35 hours to get on the fastest Route skipping all events. To be honest if i was hunting for Lumberjack while in the pursuit for 99 Woodcutting i would have preferred to use the 35 hours to get better experience.

 

But it looks cool :)

 

 

My 2 cents.

yup have got it and agree with sentiments about advising against it...I ended up getting 35 pieces of boots/legs/hats before the top magically appeared.

 

Having said that I was having a chat back and forth on this with someone writing a guide for the forums on treking/rambling. They reckoned you could make good money from the rewards on temple trekking but would have to regard lumberjack as a byproduct rather than just solely doing that. Given that I collected a few million in snake hides and also 250k slayer xp whilst trekking I suspect there was something in what he said.

 

Thanks for your 2 cents - worth far more than that in reality but that's pvp driven inflation for you :rolleyes:

Took me under 2 hours.
