i. Introduction.
This is a guide for an online MMORPG called Runescape (
www.runescape.com), if
you do not know what Runescape is then you are probably reading the wrong
guide, try checking the reviews or any of the General FAQS.
Woodcutting is a useful skill to have, it can help with raising firemaking and
fletching (fletching is members only) it can also be a good way to make money.
With the new update free players can use a bigger variety of logs.

NOTE: for the higher selling prices you will need to get large amounts of
the logs (usually 1k or more), prices may change
NOTE 2: The recomended levels are the levels at which you will start to get a
reasonable amount of logs per attempt to cut. The fastest way to 99 would be
Normal to level 15, Oak to level 65-70, Willow to level 99. However this would
not be the most profitable way, so you need to get the right balance of
speed/profit for you.
