How to Level Woodcutting in RuneScape: Dragonwilds FAST!

In the game RuneScape: Dragonwilds, mastering Woodcutting is a fundamental skill for progression. More often than not, wood serves as an indispensable resource for construction, crafting, and magic spells.

Here’s a way I’d rephrase it in a more conversational style from a fan’s perspective:

“Hey there fellow woodcutter! Let me walk you through the fastest ways to level up your Woodcutting Skill, learn its fundamental abilities, master some magic, and grasp the importance of critical harvesting. Buckle up, let’s dive into the woods together!

How To Level Up Woodcutting Fast In RuneScape: Dragonwilds

In the game RuneScape: Dragonwilds, advancing your Woodcutting skill more swiftly can be achieved by focusing on reaching Levels 4 and 11. Reaching these levels will grant you the abilities Overhead Chop and Axtral Projection, respectively, which in turn make Woodcutting leveling quicker.

Initially, gather as many Ash Logs lying around the area, they’re usually found near the trees. Later on, fashion a Stone Logging Axe by combining 4 pieces of Stones and 4 pieces of Ash Logs.

As a passionate player, I find myself engrossed in the process of strategically felling trees one by one to eventually gain access to the Overhead Chop skill. With a simple right-click, I can unleash a potent chop that consumes more Stamina but proves far more efficient at clearing logs and stumps from my path.

Cutting down approximately 5 to 6 trees is sufficient to advance to level 11, which will enable the mastery of the Astrological Projection spell – a woodcutting enchantment. At this stage, players are advised to build a Rune Altar for the creation of Astral Runes and Wind Runes.

In this manner, they can gather the necessary elements for performing the spell and significantly boost their Woodcutting skills. Be aware that Axtral Projection requires 5 Astral Runes and 10 Wind Runes, so prepare in abundance and align with the woods as you proceed: It’s now time to turn into a destructive force of nature.

As a gamer, I’ve found an effective method to amass more runes for frequent Astral Projection and Splinter casts: venture into the Mining Skill tree to uncover the Rocksplosion spell, then deploy it regularly to gather Rune Essence. With this essence, you can craft an abundance of runes. Remember, runes are lightweight and have their own inventory section, so feel free to stockpile them as much as you can!

Continue enhancing your fundamental abilities and creating new stations to access improved gear and the next level of Tools, which encompasses the Axe. Once you have it, focus on the swing: Employ Axtral Projection to fell a tree (or multiple trees in succession), then get close and use Overhead Chop to slice the logs more quickly and accumulate massive amounts of Woodcutting EXP. While the spell is on cool-down, players should resort to regular chopping to bring down additional trees, and repeat this formula. Adhere to these suggestions for quicker leveling:

  • Mind the stamina bar, use the Axtral Projection when the Stamina depletes to keep logging.
  • Certain foods provide extra stamina regeneration. Try cooking some.
  • Try to make sure the tree logs are aligned next to each other before chopping them in the floor, as the hitbox will grab more logs at the same time, and that means more EXP. Use the terrain to force the logs to roll down the hill and pile up in the same place before cutting them down.
  • Don’t forget to chop down the Stumps, as they provide extra EXP.
  • Check the Woodcutting Skill often for more information on unlockable effects and Skills.
  • Axtral Projection can be chained to cut down several trees. Aim for treelines and make sure that the cursor is highlights as many trees as possible, then release the spell for maximum gains.

How To Unlock And Use Splinter Spell

As you progress through the levels, you’ll gain access to additional beneficial abilities such as the “Splinter Spell” and minor bonuses that decrease Stamina usage by 1% for each node. Once you reach level 16, a passive ability will become available that gives you a chance to discover “Bird Nests” when descending a tree. These items are worth collecting as they hold valuable resources.

At level 20, players can advance to the next stage where they’ll be able to chop down Thorns using Hatchets, helping them remove obstacles. Then, players will unlock level 27, which grants access to an extremely beneficial spell for swift Woodcutting progress: Splinter.

The tool is on the pricier side due to its need for various Nature Runes, but it significantly boosts your Woodcutting Experience. To use it effectively, players should focus on striking fallen logs with Splinter and releasing it to transform the logs into wood. This action yields a considerable amount of Woodcutting Experience. By continuously employing Astral Projection followed by Splinter, you can quickly reach maximum Woodcutting levels.
