Wood

Wood
Type	Material
Gathered at	Wilderness
Skill	Woodcutting
Used for	Merchant bundle, cooking fuel, and blacksmith recipes

Wood is one of the main gathered resources in Kintara. It is obtained by chopping trees in the Wilderness with an Axe, and it is one of the first materials new players usually collect.

Wood is used in the Traveling Merchant bundle, Cooking recipes, and Smithing upgrades at Frostmere.

Tip: Bank Wood before long Wilderness trips. The Wilderness is a PvP area, so carrying large stacks can be risky.

Gathering

Tool	Yield	XP	Notes
Axe	1 Wood	20 Woodcutting XP	Starter gathering tool
Lvl 2 Axe	1 Wood	20 Woodcutting XP	Swings 10% faster (a Silver Axe swings 15% faster)

Every axe tier gathers 1 Wood and 20 XP per hit — higher tiers only swing faster. Higher-tier axes previously doubled the yield and XP; that was removed in a July 2026 rebalance.

Trees are found in the Wilderness. Calm zones do not provide normal Woodcutting trees, so most Wood gathering happens in PvP territory.
