Introduction
Woodcutting is used to chop Logs from Trees. These Logs can be used for Firemaking, Fletching, or for Building Items used in Construction. In order to cut Logs from a Tree, simply left click on the desired Tree. You will need to have a Woodcutting Axe handy in order to cut Logs from any Tree. The different types of Axes are as followed: Bronze, Iron, Steel, Black, Mithril, Adamantite, Runite and Dragon. As you move up in Attack Levels, as well as Woodcutting levels, you will have the ability to user higher-level Axes, which mainly grant you the ability to obtain Logs much easier and faster.

A great place to start, if you don't know much about Woodcutting, is the Woodcutting Tutor, located in Lumbridge just near the Castle.

Random Events
While Woodcutting, you may encounter a Random Event. There are four Random Events specifically for the skill of Woodcutting: Tree Ent which will damage your Axe (Bob can fix your Axe for a price, he is found in Lumbridge); Tree Spirit which will attack you; the third one may cause your Axe Head to fall off; and finally a Birds Nest may fall out of the tree (members only).

Tree Ent

If you encounter a Tree Ent, the name of the Tree will turn to yellow. If you continue to cut the Tree, the Ent will break your Axe. You can take your axe to Bob in Lumbridge; he will then fix your Axe for a small fee. The fee varies depending on the type of Axe.

Tree Spirit

Among other Non-Player Character Randoms, you may encounter a "Tree Spirit". Be careful, this monster may seem weak, but it is very strong if you don't have any armour or a weapon. To get rid of this random, you may either kill it, or simply run away until it disappears. If it is killed, it could drop a Rune Axe (rare).

Bird's Nest - Members only
There are three kinds of Bird's Nests that can fall out of a Tree while Woodcutting.

Tree Seed Nest

If a Tree Seed Nest drops while you are Woodcutting, you may pick it up and search it. It may have any of the Tree or Fruit Tree Seeds in it, including: Apple, Banana, Orange, Papaya, Curry, Palm, Calquat, Acorn, Willow, Maple, Yew, Magic, and Tree Spirit.

Ring Nest

If a Ring Nest drops while you are Woodcutting, you may pick it up and search it. It may contain Rings which you can craft (except for Dragonstone and Onyx), these rings include: Sapphire, Emerald, Ruby, and Diamond Rings.

Egg Nest

If an Egg Nest drops while you are Woodcutting, you may pick it up and search it. It may have one of three Coloured Eggs that are possible from an Eggs Nest. The three Coloured Eggs that you may find are Red, Green, and Blue. There are no current uses for each of the Eggs.
