Woodcrafting

Chopping trees

Use (u) a woodcutters axe on an area of forest on the main continent to chop trees into logs.

Logging is like mining: i.e. 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 and cannot be found by logging.

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 logs

Ebony logs are made by alchemically combining treated blackrock ore and regular logs. Ask an Alchemist to treat regular logs.

Polypiling Logs

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.)

Crafting items

Use u a pocket knife to craft items from available logs in your inventory. Use a tinted pocket knife to craft tinted items. There is a skill premium required to craft tinted items.

Woodcraft can be used to make wooden weapons like staves and bows as well as adventuring items like torches and rafts. They also make poles which are useful for Tinkers.

Crafting can be repeated with F11

How to create tinted pocket knives

Blacksmiths can make 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

Repairing wooden weapons

Drop your weapon on the ground and use (Shift+u) a pocket knife of the appropriate type on the item.
