Woodcutting

Woodcutting is, as the title suggests, the skill needed to cut down trees. Throughout the world of RuneScape, there are many different types of trees which all require a specific level to cut. To cut a tree, you need an axe (hatchet), but you don’t need to wield it. The wood is either used for firemaking or fletching, or you can convert it into planks to use it in the construction skill.
But beware of the woodcutting random events! Tree spirits may appear and attack you, trees may become alive and damage your axe, and your axe head can fly off from the handle!
For information on training this skill, please see the Woodcutting training guide You should also check out our Woodcutting calculator (If it is too slow or doesn’t work, use the simple woodcutting calculator).

Machetes
The 4 different machetes are used to chop down jungle vegetation in the Tai Bwo Wannai village. You can either buy them in Gabooty using the local currency, trading sticks, or you can bring the raw materials to Safta Doctor. The last option is a bit cheaper.
There are no needed levels to wear or use the machetes, but you need a certain level to chop down the jungle vegetation (read more about this in the next section). Below is a table that shows the types of machetes.

Vegetation types
There are different types of vegetation in the world of RuneScape. All trees requires an axe as mentioned in the previous section. The light jungle, medium jungle and dense jungle requires a machete to chop down. After cutting down any of the trees or jungle vegetation, you will get logs, bark or thatching spar depending on the type of tree you’re cutting.
