Lumberjacking

Harvesting · Skill guide

Harvest wood and support attacks with qualifying axes. Maximum skill: 120 with Power Scrolls; useful alongside Carpentry and Bowcraft / Fletching.

Summary

Use: Equip an axe and use it on a harvestable tree; move when that tree’s bank is depleted.
Harvesting works while mounted.
Special woods are bonus drops from ordinary trees, not a separate training ladder.
The weapon bonus requires an eligible axe; it does not apply to every weapon.

Training

Set Lumberjacking to Up ↑ and leave room under your 720 total skill cap.

Lumberjacking recommended training route
Skill Range	Recommended Activity
0–50	Buy an optional lesson from a Carpenter for 300 gold; it raises this skill directly to 50.0.
50–100	Keep chopping trees with timber remaining.
100–120	Continue chopping ordinary trees after unlocking each higher cap.

Above 100, use matching Power Scrolls in order: 105, 110, 115, then 120. They unlock caps without granting skill points.

Right-click the teacher NPC, select the skill’s training entry, then give 300 gold. You need a skill cap of at least 50 and room for the entire lesson under your total cap.

Mechanics & Scaling

Each 4×3 tree bank starts with 6–12 charges. A normal success produces 3 logs and spends one charge; recovery fully restores the bank 10–20 minutes after its first spent charge. The axe must be equipped, but harvesting while mounted is supported. A valid combat axe gains 0.2% per effective Lumberjacking point through 100. Trained Power Scroll tiers add 2.5/5/7.5/10 percentage points at 105/110/115/120, reaching +30% at 120. Tree banks also unlock gathering opportunities from 80; higher skill improves those opportunities. Every successfully harvested tree has a total 30% chance for 1–3 bonus special logs, split equally among the types unlocked at trained skill 55/65/75/80/85/95. Unlocks remain available at higher skill; see the wood table.

Threshold / Stat	Effect / Scaling
50.0	+10% axe damage component
80.0	+16% axe damage; gathering opportunities unlock
100.0	+20% axe damage
105.0	+22.5% axe damage
110.0	+25% axe damage
115.0	+27.5% axe damage
120.0	+30% axe damage; highest gathering efficiency
