Woodcutting is one of the core gathering professions in the server. It allows you to collect the wood required for crafting, upgrading equipment, and creating a variety of useful items. Many advanced recipes require rare types of wood, making Woodcutting an essential skill for players who wish to progress through the crafting system.
Trees can be found throughout forests and wilderness areas across the world. Unlike mining veins, trees are never located inside caves. Lower-tier trees can usually be found near towns and beginner areas, making them easy to access for new players. However, higher-tier trees grow in more dangerous regions, often surrounded by powerful monsters that will challenge even experienced adventurers.
To begin woodcutting, you will need a Beginner's Axe.
Unlike the Beginner's Pickaxe, this tool cannot be purchased from NPCs and must be crafted by the player. To craft a Beginner's Axe, you will need:
10 Bronze Ingots
5 Silver Ingots
1 HatchetOnce crafted, the Beginner's Axe will allow you to start gathering wood and training your Woodcutting Skill.
| Tree | Woodcutting Skill |
|---|---|
| 0 | |
| 15 | |
| 25 | |
| 40 | |
| 55 |
Each tree has two separate chances:
Both chances increase based on the player's Woodcutting Skill. The higher your skill, the more efficient your woodcutting becomes.
In addition, every axe provides a multiplier that further improves your chances.
| Axe | Multiplier |

A player with 33 Woodcutting Skill using a Master's Axe receives:
This means the player gains an additional 5.61% chance, which is added to the base chance of successfully chopping a tree and obtaining resources from it.
The higher your Woodcutting Skill and the better your Axe, the more efficient your woodcutting will become, allowing you to gather rare resources faster and progress through the crafting system more effectively.
Woodcutting is not without risks. Every axe has a small chance to break each time it is used.
The probability of an axe breaking depends on its quality. Lower-tier axes are more fragile and have a higher chance of breaking, while higher-tier axes are crafted from stronger materials and are considerably more durable.
As a general rule:
Investing in better axes not only improves your woodcutting efficiency but also reduces the risk of losing your tool during long woodcutting sessions.
