Chopping trees

Since 020, logging is like mining: ie there are 'veins' of wood that will be exhausted by logging, but will regenerate over time.

Types of wood

There are 5 types of wood:

• ordinary
• oak
• silverleaf
• ash
• ebony

When logging, your skill in woodcrafting will determine whether you can find non-ordinary woods. The exception is ebony: which is an alchemical concoction.

The different wood types have the same properites as the non-ordinary metals ...

• oak -> copper : lighter and faster, less durable
• silverleaf -> silver : undead slaying / repulsion
• ash -> gold : lightsource
• ebony -> blackrock : allover better attack & defense rating / more durable

How to make ebony

Ask an alchemist to combine equal parts treated blackrock and logs to create ebony logs, min skill 65%, guaranteed success at 75%. Coloured pocket knives for tinted crafting

Blacksmiths make the tinted pocket knives. The are made from the following ingot colours:

• oak pocket knife : 1 copper ingot
• silverleaf pocket knife : 1 silver ingot
• ash pocket knife : 1 gold ingot
• ebony pocket knife : 1 blackrock ingot

Polypiling

Fancy logs can be made with a polypile wand: however you'll have to use your own brain to figure out the recipe! (it's pretty obvious.)

Repairing wooden weapons

Drop your weapon on the ground and use (shift+u) a pocketknife on the item.
