Training

Put simply, it is advised to cut the two highest level trees available to the player for the higher exp/hr gain, whilst avoiding Magic Trees due to their lower exp per hour compared to most of the lower level trees.

Ensuring you have the most up to date Axes available to your level in the shop will also ensure the fastest experience rates.

• 1-10 - Normal Trees.
• 10-25 - Normal Trees & Oak Trees.
• 25-35 - Oak Trees & Willow Trees.
• 35-45 - Willow Trees & Teak Trees.
• 45-55 - Teak Trees & Maple Trees.
• 55-60 - Maple Trees & Mahogany Trees.
• 60-90 - Mahogany Trees & Yew Trees.
• 90-99 - Yew Trees & Redwood Trees.

Experience per hour can easily be calculated per tree as [math]\displaystyle{ \frac{\text{Experience Gain}}{\text{Cutting Interval}} \times 3\,600 }[/math]. The total experience gain per hour is then simply the sum of the per tree experience calculation.

Selling logs is advisable to make it possible to purchase essential upgrades such as Axes or

, but this might slow down

so keeping some is recommended. It is also possible to sell the Bird Nests that are produced, which are worth more unopened on average compared to selling the seeds after opening.
