OSRS Woodcutting XP Calculator

Calculate OSRS Woodcutting XP, logs needed, and time to level. Supports 2-tick Teaks, Sulliusceps, Forestry events, and Redwood AFK.

Interpreting Your Result

Efficiency Tiers: Elite (2-tick Teaks >180k XP/hr), High (Sulliusceps 90k-110k XP/hr), Relaxed/Social (Forestry/Maples 50k-70k XP/hr), Very AFK (Redwoods 60k/hr).

✓ Do's

  • Unlock the Lumberjack Outfit early for the 2.5% boost.
  • Train in the Woodcutting Guild for the +7 invisible boost once you reach level 60.
  • Always bring a Forestry Kit for additional rewards and buffs while chopping.
  • Use a Dragon or Crystal axe as soon as you meet the level requirements.

✗ Don'ts

  • Don't cut Magic trees for XP; they are for profit only and are extremely slow.
  • Don't ignore Forestry events if you want the best rewards and blueprints.
  • Don't bank your logs at Teaks if you are speed-training; use shift-drop.
  • Don't forget your spec bar; keep that +3 boost active as much as possible.

How It Works

The OSRS Woodcutting XP Calculator is the ultimate tool for planning your path to level 99 Woodcutting. Whether you are aiming for the absolute maximum Efficiency Hours Played (EHP) with 2-tick Teaks, looking for high-XP mid-level training at Sulliusceps on Fossil Island, or seeking the relaxing grind of Redwood trees, this calculator provides detailed estimates on how many trees you need to fell and how long it will take. It includes the latest Forestry bonuses and Lumberjack Outfit XP boosts.

Understanding the Inputs

Target/Current: Your progress levels. Method: Selection from Teaks, Sulliusceps, Redwood, etc. Bonuses: Toggles for Lumberjack Outfit and Forestry Kit.

Formula Used

Experience Needed = (Target XP - Current XP). Logs Required = Experience Needed / XP per Log. Time Estimate = Experience Needed / XP Per Hour (Method Dependent).

Real Calculation Examples

The Comprehensive Guide

OSRS Woodcutting XP Calculator: The Definitive Guide to 1-99

Woodcutting is one of the most quintessential skills in Old School RuneScape (OSRS). It is a slow, methodical skill that rewards patience and planning. Whether you are after the prestigious Skillcape or just the logs for your Construction grind, our OSRS Woodcutting XP Calculator is the only tool you need to map out your journey.

The Impact of the Forestry Update

In 2023 and 2024, Woodcutting received its most significant overhaul in history: Forestry. Before Forestry, Woodcutting was a competitive and often lonely skill. Trees would deplete faster if more people chopped them, leading to players avoiding each other. Today, the meta has flipped. Woodcutting is now a social activity where chopping with others actually improves the quality of the training. Our calculator factors in these social bonuses to give you a realistic view of modern training.

Social Woodcutting Bonus

For every additional person (up to 10) chopping the same tree as you, you receive a +1 invisible Woodcutting boost. This means in a busy world, you can essentially have an invisible +10 boost at all times, making you cut wood significantly faster. This has made places like the Woodcutting Guild and the Seers' Village Maples much more efficient than they used to be.

The fastest XP Methods: Elite Training

1. 2-Tick Teaks (160k - 200k XP/hr)

This is the absolute peak of Woodcutting efficiency. By using two birds (at Fossil Island or Prifddinas) to interrupt your character's action cycle, you can force a Woodcutting check every 2 ticks instead of the standard 4. This is extremely difficult to master and requires constant focus, but it is the only way to reach level 99 in under 75 hours. Our OSRS Woodcutting XP Calculator can show you exactly how many hours of your life you save by choosing this high-intensity route.

2. Sulliusceps (90k - 110k XP/hr)

Located in the Mushroom Forest of Fossil Island, Sulliusceps are the best "Middle Ground" method. They offer higher XP than AFK methods but are much easier than tick manipulation. You follow a trail of giant mushrooms, avoiding mud monsters and poison. This method is highly recommended for mid-level players looking for rapid progress without the stress of 2-ticking.

The AFK Kings: Redwoods and Magics

For many, Woodcutting is the ultimate "Second Screen" skill.

  • Redwood Trees (Lvl 90): The gold standard of AFK. Located in the Woodcutting Guild, these trees have massive HP and can be chopped for minutes at a time without needing a click. At ~60k XP/hr, they are the most popular way for maxing players to finish the skill.
  • Magic Trees (Lvl 75): Very slow XP (approx 25k/hr) but highly profitable. Only recommended if you are extremely AFK or an Ironman in desperate need of magic logs for Fletching or Birdhouse runs.

Essential Woodcutting Gear and Bonuses

The Lumberjack Outfit

Consisting of four pieces, the Lumberjack Outfit provides a 2.5% XP bonus. While it used to be a chore to get via Temple Trekking, it is now easily obtainable through the Forestry shop using bark and logs. Over the journey to 99, this set saves you about 325,000 XP—or roughly 3-6 hours of training.

Axes: The Tool of the Trade

Your choice of axe is the most critical factor in your "Success per Tick" rate.

  • Dragon Axe: The standard for high-level training. Its special attack is vital.
  • Crystal Axe: Requires level 70 and Song of the Elves. It is about 15% better than the Dragon Axe. It does use charges (crystal shards), so use it wisely.
  • Infernal Axe: Has a chance to burn the log you just chopped, providing Firemaking XP at the cost of the log. Great for Ironmen or those who want to "Passive train" Firemaking.

The Forestry Kit and Rewards

Always carry a Forestry Kit. It allows you to participate in events like The Pheasant or The Ents, which provide massive bursts of XP and "Forestry Bark." Bark is used to buy upgrades like the Log Basket (stores 28 logs) or the Woodcutting Cape attachment.

Woodcutting Training Strategy by Level

Levels 1-35: The Starter Woods

Standard trees, then Oaks, then Willows. You can skip most of this by completing quests like Monk's Friend and Enlightened Journey. Woodcutting is one of the easiest skills to quest-skip the early levels.

Levels 35-60: Teaks or Maples

Teaks are the best XP if you are willing to stay on Fossil Island or in the Jungle. If you want a more social/AFK experience, head to the Seers' Village Maples and join a Forestry group.

Levels 60-90: The Guild and Sulliusceps

The Woodcutting Guild (60) is your new home. Use the invisible +7 boost to cut Willows (for speed) or Yews (for profit). If you want faster levels, Sulliusceps remain the king of this level bracket.

Levels 90-99: Redwoods or the 2-Tick Sprint

This is the final stretch. Most players move to Redwoods at level 90 for the remainder of the skill. If you are pushing for a high leaderboard rank, you will need to stick to 2-tick Teaks until the very end.

Professional Woodcutting Tips

  • The Invisible +7: Always remember that the Woodcutting Guild boost stacks with the special attack boost. This means you can effectively be +10 levels over your base at all times.
  • Bird Nests: These are a lucky drop that can contain seeds worth hundreds of thousands of GP. The Woodcutting Skillcape and Rabbit Foot necklace increase your chances of finding them.
  • Ironman Planks: If you are an Ironman, chop Teaks or Mahogany and use the plank-make spell or the butler to turn them into planks for Construction. Woodcutting is the fuel for your house!
