How has Woodcutting changed?

Could it possible to make 1m XP per hour on DXP live?
I was thinking doing 48 hours of Woodcutting :D

The idea behind success chance benefits such as honed 6, Sanna’s Fyrtorch, Lumberjack Aura’s and Anachronia Overgrown Idols Buff towards trees with base 90% success compared to ones with 60% beinng more impactful and therefore more useful is exactly the same concept as to why the Equilibrium Perk isn’t nearly as impactful or beneficial to Necromancy as it is to Ranged, Magic and Melee.

The whole concept essentially comes down to devoting resources towards a problem that never existed in the first place - If you’re always succesful, don’t continue investing into success, look for other benefits like increased XP gains such as Furnace4, Skillchompas, Ect. Of course players like myself will always insist on Min/Maxing to be as efficient as possible when it likely would have been more advantageous to use all the time spent unlocking buffs which amounted to maybe +1.75% XP/HR and had just grinded and gotten experience instead. It does make sense to min/max efficiency before going for very long term goals like 200M XP, but 99.995% of players are better off getting a few of the more impactful perks and benefits and start grinding.

This past Week i’ve been focusing on grinding out as much woodcutting as I possibly can with a specific focus of grinding out the Imcando Hatchet without sparing any expense. Fyrtorch is without a doubt worth every penny it costs. Things can get pretty nutty when you throw fyrtorch in the mix with brawling gloves, honed6, Furnace4, Bonus XP and other benefits. I started at 80 Woodcutting and i’am now up to 86 with 3/4 Imcando pieces; It is indeed a very slow skill to train compared to most if not every other skill in the game and I slightly regret not investing more lamps into woodcutting throughoht my playtime instead of basically getting 99 Archaeology without completeing a single mystery 😂. Okay, I actually only got to 92 before i decided to work on archaeology directly so it wasnt entirely neglected and lamped lol.

So acadia or mahogany from 70-75?

So, I'm level 90 wc. What do you recommend me doing to get 99?

No F2P guide?

ivy is the best.... almost double the xp of yews and they tick more often :P

Hey Protoxx, so what would be the best way of training woodcutting at level 65?

I got the hatchet content dead to me now

Such a win to see you finally over 100k subscribers. I’ve enjoyed being apart of those who watched your channel grow! Thanks again for all the great info!

some info about cryst mahogany with the new hatchet and the different boosts avilable for irons. (95 wc) its around 340-360k xp/h without urns. with urns i think its close to 400k xp/h but not entierly sure because i run out of them. this is with honed 5 t80 hatched, beaver, legendary lumberjack aura sentinel aura and the torch.

Stupid update. Not happy with this. They need to actually rework Woodcutting instead of fucking it up more

best way to get 120 wcing is daily divine yews + toggle you daily challenge to wcing, Thank you

I hoped they made woodcutting a 120 skill, suprised they did not , cause that would make room to make tree gaps better.

Still hate wc

I just want a rebalancing of fletching now and for them to add arrows/bolts to the current metals beyond rune. These qol updates are too slow.

The grove looks great graphically. I appreciate the work done on it, and the location would be awesome if there wasnt competition for resources.

Small nit pick. Why are we testing XP rates without the new BIS hatchet? it may make minimal difference at trees with 100% chop chance, but at elders etc it should increase XP/H

oh

So, wc is the only gathering skill that lower level stuff, gives more xp/h than others. Also, shouldn't the crystal tree the best xp/h? That thing is at 94 wc, and it baffles me that a simple spell can outright put it in the bin.

skilling is there for the ppl with no skill

@protoxxgaming important to also include Bik woodcutting. This got a massive xp rate buff it seems. I’m getting average 150k xp per hour (with 29% as you mentioned) AND about 4m/hr in bik troves.

Shall we get a new 120 wc guide???

I've tested golden bamboo with the imcando hatchet. I got around 107k/hour without any buffs, 220k/hour with buffs. Not too bad, tbh. And a lot cheaper than crystallise😅

If you do crystalize magic trees on cwrys hour with the new imcando hatchet and other boosts you can get some crazy exp rate.

i was kind of thinking it'd be a little similar to mining, oof ):

I am a veteran player, exp rate over 60-70k/h is still relatively high to me 🫠

I have a cuppa coffee, can I still watch?

This intro was perfect 🤌

Cool.
Now do it with a Imcando Hatchet.

The grove became dead so fast and as for xp it’s still so so slow

Besides being quicker and not having your inventory fill up it hasn’t changed too much

"sit back relax and enjoy" sipping on ice tea xD love it

What about rates with imcando?

We would love to see the numbers and rates for the new imcando hatchet in the future. Can`t find any reliable and solid information out there so far. Thank you and keep up the good job!

I don't think you get extra exp on crystal trees from the furnace perk either, I might be wrong though. If that's the case, crystal trees are simply worthless since furnace gives 20% more exp (22% with lvl 20 hatchet)

Difference with imcando vs crystal hatchet would be great

Here are some of my personal xp rates with fyrtorch, legendary aura, perfect juju, honed 6, beaver, nature's sentinel, and urns with enhancer.

pre rework:
crystallise acadia - ~410k
golden bamboo with contracts - 400k

post rework:
golden bamboo with contracts - 360k
crystallise magic - 390k
crystallise yew - 390k
crystallise maple - 400k
crystallise arctic pine - 410k
crystallise mahogany - 425k

I think its worth mentioning superior locator will get you to elder tree locations (low cost charges) with a relatively fast interact/tele time :)

Everyone and their dog forgetting Overgrown Idols🗿

Don't forget about artic pine.

Excellent content as usual

I have a idea for Jagex. What if the made a protean tree you can use to train woodcutting. You click on it and a protean tree automatically spawns in front of you so you can never leave the ge again lol.

couldnt tell you havnt chopped a tree since 2009...

Small feedback: consider putting important images like tables and such on the top side of the video instead of bottom side. Bottom side is used for subtitles for people that prefer that

I literally only play RuneScape and war thunder, so thanks for the free boost buddy
