OSRS Ironman Woodcutting Guide (1–99)

Levels 1–15: Regular Trees

• Chop regular trees around Lumbridge, Varrock, or Draynor.
• Logs needed: ~61 logs to reach level 15
• Save logs for:
  • Firemaking 1–15
  • Arrow shafts or shortbows (early Fletching)

Levels 15–30: Oak Trees

• Found east of Varrock, south of Seers’, or north of Falador.
• Logs needed: ~183 oak logs for Firemaking 15–30
• Save some for Construction planks or early Fletching (oak shortbows).

Levels 30–60: Willow Trees

• Best locations:
  • Draynor Village (right beside the bank)
  • Seers’ Village or Rimmington
• Logs needed: ~1,571 willow logs for Firemaking 30–50
• Bank all willows — use for:
  • Firemaking 30–50
  • Fletching willow short/longbows for XP + stringable bows

Levels 60–75+: Maple Trees (AFK) or Teaks (Efficient)

• Maples: Best at Seers’ Village (with Kandarin diary).
• Teaks: Located in Tai Bwo Wannai, Ape Atoll, or Fossil Island (more XP/hr).
• Logs needed:
  • ~134,000 maple logs for 99 Firemaking (if using only logs)
  • ~70,000 if switching to Wintertodt at 50
• Teaks are also used for Construction training.

Levels 75–99: Yews, Magic, or AFK Maples

• Yew trees: Higher XP, but much slower cut rate.
• Magic trees: Very slow — not ideal unless for profit or trimmed logs.
• Maples: Still viable for AFK/log bank if you skipped Teaks.
• Use Yew and Magic logs for:
  • High-level Firemaking (burn or flex logs)
  • Fletching yew longbows (string for alchs or accuracy training)

Ironman Log Use Priority

• Regular logs – Early Firemaking/Fletching
• Oak logs – Construction, Firemaking, Fletching
• Willow logs – Main source of XP, very useful for Fletching
• Teak logs – Construction planks (best XP method)
• Maple logs – Fast Firemaking XP (esp. at Wintertodt)
• Yew/Magic logs – Late-game Fletching/Alching or prestige Firemaking

Tips for Ironmen

• Do Kingdom of Miscellania early to gather maples passively
• Use Dragon axe special when unlocked for faster cutting
• Consider Fossil Island's hardwood trees for Teak/Mahogany farming
• Unlock Lumberjack outfit from Temple Trekking for +2.5% XP
