Where Can I chop yews?

[brad1431]

I want to chop yews, to burn for fming, and fletch for fletching, but the spot in Catherby is just overrun with bots and the trees are almost always chopped down. Is there a spot that isnt overrun with bots that I can chop yews?

 

Thanks

Umm south of fally, use an explorer's ring, there's one north and one south. I haven't seen any bots there.

Don't chop yews, unless you're one of those DIYers who doesn't allow themselves to use the GE. You only make in the realm of 300k/hour there, which is a REALLY poor income.

A spot you can check out would be the ones within the gnome stronghold, which are nice and close to a bank. Whether they're the best spot or not overrun, I'm not positive. I don't frequently chop yews mainly for the reasons green listed above.

just go to a german world, barely anyone ever in any of the worlds, heres the link http://www.runescape.com/l=1/game.ws?j=1

 

 

have fun ^_^

Would you just let people play how they want? Not everyone's goal is to be the most efficient player. All that aside I would try the yews in the gnome stronghold.

[AHappySeeker]

A lot of people also don't understand how income and wealth work. They seem to think that gathering resources yourself makes skills free. Those people either end up being too egotistical to admit fault or grateful for the lesson. If this particular poster is one of those people, then this is his chance to respond in one of those ways. If he genuinely doesn't care about efficiency, then he can go with one of the other answers provided in this thread.

[green9090]

I even made a provision for people who purposefully limit themselves, and I STILL get flamed.

The OP should be aware that there are better options. Should he then choose to be inefficient, that's on him. You're attempting to tell Green how to post. Can't you just let him post how he wants?

 

Dat hypocrisy.

 

EDIT: To the post below, >implying that there's a disconnect between fun and efficiency.

[Patr1ck]

It's a game so let him do what he wants, if he wants to chop yews and he finds that fun [bleep]ing let him, your not doing good by limiting him to something that while may be efficient isn't fun for the user. Go look up some reasons people play games, last time I read it had to do with something called "Fun" I know the term may be foreign to you, but it does exist.

[AHappySeeker]

Why do you think we're limiting him? We're just informing him of the fact that what he's doing is not efficient, just in case he does not realise it. A lot of people don't.

 

Tell me one way in which we're physically or psychologically limiting him from doing what he wants. If he values income, he'll follow our advice. If he does not, he'll go to the gnome stronghold.

OP didn't specify that he wanted no additional advice.

 

It's better to try and post further h&a and for him to ignore/dismiss it if it's not relevant, than not post it all.

Lol? That's a poor argument if I've ever heard one.

The OP never asked us not to talk about fishing or herblore so should we talk about that?

 

Honestly, just think about it.

The op is definitely not "new" to this game. He has 99 in multiple stats and is pretty high up there for many other levels.

It's a safe assumption that he knows what he's doing and he's choosing to do it that way.

Are you implying that having good stats directly correlates to being good at Runescape? I won't name him, but there's a user on these forums who's maxed and he's the last person you'd ever want giving you advice. There are quite a few users like that. So, no, I'd say that you are not making a safe assumption; far from it, actually.

 

I'll reiterate that the OP should know that there are better options and uses of his time than chopping yews.

>implying efficency isn't fun.

>implying cutting yews is in someway more fun then chopping ivy

How is offering additional advice that cutting yews is a waste of his time at his stats a poor argument. Drawing a parallel to talking about fishing and herblore is even worse and is completely irrelevant.

 

If he is adamant on DIY'ng then he can do so, I don't care, other people don't care. But now he has a choice if he already was unaware that it was a waste of his time. If he was aware, he can continue to waste his time, I don't care but the advice has been given either way.

Just because someone gives advice that is not the most efficient way to do something doesnt mean it is not good advice. If someone said "how do i train WC?" if everyone just said "chop ivy" there would be no variation of answers. People like multiple ways to do something. Not everyone can sit and train a skill for hours on end with out getting bored. Nor does everyone care about getting the max XP per hour in a skill.

[green9090]

Note to self- if Chrisman asks for advice on woodcutting, tell him to chop normal logs.

Cut arctic pines.

[madden05pro1]

If you want a spot to cut yews where bots can't get, try growing your own yew tree in the farming patch in the tree gnome stronghold, it's right by a bank and nobody else can cut it.

[i_trollz_u]

Since you plan on burning them anyway, there's a nice patch of like 5 yews somewhere in Isfador(elf place, think its east of tyras not sure). No where to bank, but you can just burn the logs you cut immediately, if your original plan was to cut logs and then burn them anyway. You will literally find no one ever there.

So what you're saying is that posters in the Help & Advice sub-forum should put emphasis on providing random answers rather than giving good advice.

 

HEY OP, YOU SHOULD CUT YEWS BEHIND VARROCK PALACE, THEN RUN TO SEERS' VILLAGE (BECAUSE RUNNING IS MORE FUN THAN TELEPORTING), COLLECT FLAX, MAKE BOWSTRINGS, CUT YOUR LOGS, STRING YOUR BOWS, THEN ALCH YOUR BOWS.

 

MY REASONING IS THAT THIS IS FUN.

 

No. Suggestions should be logical and alternatives should be provided if the OP's original plan isn't optimal. H&A is for helping and advising people, so I would ask you to stop trolling and let the intelligent posters continue to help and advise.

[Youmu]

Are we seriously arguing over something as trivial as this? :/

 

Anyways, don't cut yews. Pretty much every spot I know is overrun with bots, and even at 99 the rate at which you get yew logs is slow.

 

Even maples are a better option, given that they skyrocketed to over 100gp recently. But it's better to get them via MTK.
