Judging from the deals going down on the trade forums, am I to assume that normal logs are worth substantially more than willows? Has it always been this way and I just noticed, or have willows so thoroughly saturated the market that there is actually more demand for normal logs?

normal logs used in cs

 

 

 

willows not

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

normal logs harder to get

 

 

 

willows easy

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

willows also used for power wc

well you can make profits with willow..

 

 

 

but you can make shaft with norm log and sell at 10 ea

go cut 500 willows and 500 normal logs and tell me which is a boat load harder to get.

Put simply, sanday79, with the advent of Construction, it utterly flipped the demand for items from the higher logs (willow/maple/yew/magic) to the lower logs (Normal and Oak), and such that the Normal and Oak Logs now have far greater demand in the RS market.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

About all you can do is try to get money for what you think you can chop best. :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

~Mr. Devnull

wilows = 20-40ea

 

 

 

normal logs = 100ea.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Willows are used in massive amounts for fletching (to lvl 70) and firemaking by both P2P and F2P.

 

 

 

Normal logs have a use for shafting (which actually earns 50ea log) and construction for basic level and a little cheaper xp.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, normal logs are a pain to collect. But for a money maker F2P, this might be a decent method.

Normals have always been worth 100 each, or more than willows. I found this out when I owned my own log shop, maybe 2 years ago. They're much harder to collect in bulk because of the 1 log per tree.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As Ethiery said, try to get 500 of each. See which is truly harder.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PS: Construction did not have that big of a play in the pricing of normal logs. They did raise the price for oaks though

Those prices are correct. Have been for quite a while.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As such, it's usually much easier for a person to cut their own logs if they're trying to fletch arrow shafts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At least, that's what I've found. It takes no time at all to cut and fletch about 10K arrowheads if you go out with an axe and knife in your inventory. If you're in the right spot, it's maybe 45 seconds to cut 27 trees (405 shafts). It's like 1 hour to do 10K shafts (1/2 of which you would have had to spend fletching, as you would have had you bought them). So it's like an extra 30 minutes cutting trees, and you save about 65K.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you're looking to make planks, well, you're shoot outta luck.

Normals were always more expensive, simply because they are a pain to collect because of one log per tree. Willows are really cheap because they are a very good way of training woodcutting, and thus there is a huge volume of them in the market.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Construction had little to do with the price on normal logs. Only newbie constructors use them because of the need for nails; if anything, construction made oaks actually useful. I used oak larders to powertrain my con level to 72; and I'm pretty sure that's what n0valyfe used to get to 99. (I copied my method from his online blog). The method is genius really; anything cheaper is just too slow, and anything faster is just too expensive; thus why many people use it, and why oaks are in such high demand.
