if i chop with a bronze axe, would i get nests just as often as rune? does it matter how fast i cut the logs or does it matter how long i have been chopping?

im not exacly sure but i think its how many logs you chop or its like a random event u never know when its going to happen. :lol:

i know it's one of those two....but which one is it?

It's like a random event. :P

thanks

It's like a random event, as previously stated.. But think about it like this: if you chop logs slower, that's less opportunity for the event to occur, than if you chop logs faster (like with a rune hatchet).
