Levels 1-99: Base Game

Cut the two highest level trees available, while avoiding

Magic Trees

due to their lower XP per hour compared to most of the lower level trees. Make sure to purchase Axes when they become available from the shop. The table below assumes you have the

upgrade; if you haven't purchased it yet, simply cut the higher level of the two listed logs.

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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Multi-Tree

, but this might slow down

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Firemaking

, so keeping some is recommended. To further this goal, Magic Trees are usually worth cutting until Redwood Trees are unlocked as they are worth a large amount of GP. 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. However, you should consider opening enough for

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Farming

.

Seeds worth keeping include:

Levels 40-99/102: Atlas of Discovery Expansion

To take advantage of the new trees available in the Atlas of Discovery Expansion, it is necessary to first discover Ritual Site, which requires

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 80

. Players who also have Throne of the Herald Expansion should note that the experience rate of

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Unholy Tree

is superior to

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Spruce Tree

, and can be substituted in the TotH 99-120 table below. With Carthulu and Terran Dungeon Ruins and all other bonuses,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Unholy Tree

is superior to

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Grove Tree

and

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Elderwood Tree

as well. However, this means that you will not get any Raven Nest for all your Woodcutting through 115, so it might not be worth it.

Atlas of Discovery Expansion also introduces a few useful items which are acquired from

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Archaeology

. Golden Wreath provides +4% Non-Combat Skill XP and is relatively easy to acquire. Candelabra (Lit) provides -3% Non-Combat Skill Interval and +4% Non-Combat Skill XP, but acquiring it is slow enough to potentially not be worth it. A good rule of thumb is that if the tree's duration is longer than 15s, Candelabra (Lit) probably is worth it; especially since you do not use them that quickly with slow duration trees.

Levels 99-120: Throne of the Herald Expansion

With added content from the Throne of the Herald Expansion,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Woodcutting

becomes more complex for obtaining optimal XP rates. As always, make sure to purchase Axes when they become available from the shop, there are new Axes for level 100+ content that are required for cutting trees of a certain level. Maximizing the amount of interval reduction is key! Due to the way these modifiers stack additively, missing even a few can be a major hindrance in the amount of experience earned over time. For example, Redwood Trees with all other available bonuses can go from 989k XP/h to 3,758k XP/h simply by adding

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Stepping Stones

. XP rates will vary drastically based on the player's mastery level in each tree and how many relevant bonuses they are using. As usual, always make use of

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Multi-Tree

. The following table will try to provide an approximate guide using most of the available buffs, though the player should always check for themselves or use a mod like ETA to be sure:

Since the player will be spending a lot of time on the same logs, and due to

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Multi-Tree

and the generally very high XP rates available in

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Woodcutting

with the appropriate buffs, it is very likely the player will complete Mastery on multiple Trees while leveling. It is therefore advised to work start cutting a different tree even if it is a skill XP loss, the time gained in Mastery completion will be more useful overall. Raven Nests are a great way to unlock seeds for

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Farming

and also include fragments for the Meteorite Woodcutting Amulet and Meteorite Woodcutting Ring, which also provide

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Firemaking

XP equal to 10% of the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Woodcutting

XP the player earns. Raven Nests only drop while cutting at least one Tree that has a level requirement of 100 or greater.

Levels 1-99/120: Ancient Relics Mode

For Ancient Relics players, Woodcutting Lesser Relic is dropped while training

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Woodcutting

, and provides -5% Woodcutting Interval. There are also many extremely useful bonuses from unlocking Ancient Relics while training. Namely, the Woodcutting Master Relics which grants an addition +1 Tree Cut Limit. Combined with

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Multi-Tree

, the player could cut three trees at once. The table below shows theoretical XP rates with the Woodcutting Master Relic already unlocked.
