Lumberjacking

Info

• Lumberjacking is the skill required to collect wood from trees.
  • Human characters will get one extra log per chop, or two if working in Felucca. Elves, on the other hand, have an increased chance of harvesting special Lumber types.

• This skill also counts towards your ability to perform some Special Moves.

• It also provides a damage boost when using an axe to fight.

Types of Wood

There are various different types of wood which grant different bonuses to items crafted by Carpenters as well as Bowyers. Each requires a different skill level to harvest.

When wood is harvested, it initially comes in log form (weighing two stones instead of the single stone a board weighs). An Axe type item can be used to perform the conversion, though this is optional - raw logs work just as well for crafting as boards do, they simply weigh more.

For the purpose of creating boards either the Lumberjacking or Carpentry skill can be used (though only Lumberjacks can harvest the rare woods in the first place).

Training

There are two methods to train Lumberjacking:

• Chop trees.

• Fight with an axe.
  • Raising Lumberjacking in this manner will of course require Swordsmanship skill. If this method is chosen, fighting in the Alexandria sewers will grant accelerated skill gain up to 80.0
