i. Introduction.


This is a guide for an online MMORPG called Runescape (www.runescape.com), if 
you do not know what Runescape is then you are probably reading the wrong 
guide, try checking the reviews or any of the General FAQS.

Woodcutting is a useful skill to have, it can help with raising firemaking and 
fletching (fletching is members only) it can also be a good way to make money.
With the new update free players can use a bigger variety of logs.

Can be cut in free game.
Can be sold to other players for 10-20 gp each
Best place to cut is the forest east of Draynor bank

==Oak==

Requires level 15 woodcutting to cut.
Recomended level to start cutting.
Recomended for level 15-65 woodcutting.
Can be cut in free game.
Can be sold to other players for 20-40 gp each
Best place to cut is Just east of Draynor bank

==Willow==

Cut from willow trees.
Requires level 30 woodcutting to cut.
Recomended for level 65-99 woodcutting.
Can be cut in free game.
Can be sold to other players for 35-60 gp each
Best place to cut is just south of Draynor bank or Seers village

==Maple==

Cut from maple trees.
Requires level 45 woodcutting to cut.
Recomended for level 80-99 woodcutting.
Can not be cut in free game, however the logs are not members only items.
Can be sold to other players for 150-200 gp each
Best place to cut is around seers village bank

==Yew==

Cut from yew trees.
Requires level 60 woodcutting to cut.
Not recomended to cut for XP.

==Magic==

Not recomended to cut for XP.
Can not be cut in free game, the logs are members only items.
Can be sold to other players for 0.9k-1.2k gp each



NOTE: for the higher selling prices you will need to get large amounts of
the logs (usually 1k or more), prices may change

NOTE 2: The recomended levels are the levels at which you will start to get a 
reasonable amount of logs per attempt to cut. The fastest way to 99 would be
Normal to level 15, Oak to level 65-70, Willow to level 99. However this would 
not be the most profitable way, so you need to get the right balance of 
speed/profit for you.
