Woodcutting (Skill)
Activity Gathering Wood from trees
Tool required Axe
XP per action 20 per felled tree (25 per cactus)
Max level 40
Counts to Total Level Yes

Woodcutting is the skill for gathering Wood by chopping trees in the Wilderness. Wood is essential for Cooking, Smithing, and purchasing chests from the Chest Vending Machine, making Woodcutting one of the most important early-game skills.

Ultra-rare chance: Every tree you chop has a **1 in 150,000 chance** to drop Pnut, a rare squirrel companion pet.

Training

Get a free Axe from the Lumberjack on the Mainland if you don't already have one, then equip it in a hotbar slot and chop trees in the Wilderness. There are no tree level requirements — the only upgrade is your axe tier.

Each swing yields 1 Wood; the 20 Woodcutting XP is granted when the tree is felled. No axe tier changes yield or XP — higher tiers swing faster instead (copper 5%, iron 10%, silver 15% faster).

Tool XP per felled tree Wood per swing Notes
Axe (Lvl 1) 20 XP 1 Free from the Lumberjack on the Mainland
Lvl 2 Axe (iron tier) 20 XP 1 Swings 10% faster. Forged at Grimjaw's Blacksmith Forge in Frostmere or at Dunes West — 40 Iron Ingots + 1,000 Wood, Smithing 10

Cacti

Cacti in The Dunes are also chopped with the axe and pay 25 XP per felled cactus. Each cactus has a 1 in 250,000 chance to drop the Lizard pet.

Rare drops

  • Pnut the squirrel — 1 in 150,000 chance per tree felled. Ultra-rare pet companion that follows you everywhere.
  • Lizard pet — 1 in 250,000 chance per cactus felled in The Dunes.
  • Lumberjack outfit — the hat drops 1 in 7,500 and the top and bottom drop 1 in 60,000 each from felling trees. Wearing the full Lumberjack kit (while owning every piece) pays +5% Woodcutting XP.

EXP rates

XP comes per felled tree (20 XP; 25 per cactus), so rates depend on how quickly you fell trees — a faster axe tier fells trees sooner but pays the same XP per tree.

See EXP Calculator for a full comparison across all skills.

Axe durability

Forged axes have 4,000 total durability and spend 1 durability per swing, regardless of tree size. The free starter Axe never wears.

Uses of Wood

Use Amount Notes
Cooking fuel 1 per cook Used with raw fish or Raw Chicken at roast pits
Smithing material 400–3,000 per tool Required for all tool forging at Frostmere or Dunes West, scaling with tier
Chest Vending Machine purchases 500 per chest Required for Galactic Chest, Demon Chest, and Angel Chest purchases
Traveling Merchant 2,600 per gold exchange Part of the 1-Gold personal trade bundle; Wood is also accepted for Global pool donations

Tips

  • Bank Wood regularly during Wilderness trips — the Wilderness is a PvP zone and dying means losing your backpack contents.
  • Upgrade to the Lvl 2 Axe once you reach Smithing 10 — it swings 10% faster, so every trip finishes sooner. Yield and XP stay the same.
  • Chop near rock nodes so you can switch between Woodcutting and Mining in the same trip.
  • Every tree has a tiny chance (1 in 150,000) to drop Pnut the squirrel — keep chopping and maybe you'll find him!
