Woodcrafting

Woodcrafting is the skill of making wooden weapons, items and equipment from the different logs that have been cut from trees or treated by alchemists. Some wooden items are also essential to other crafts.

Overview

Crafting and repairing wooden items is performed with a pocket knife on logs which can be cut from forests with a woodcutters axe.

Chopping trees

Use (u) a woodcutters axe on an area of forest on the main continent to chop trees into logs. If you're unable to 'get a good log' then try a different patch of forest.

Logging is like mining: i.e. there are 'veins' of wood that will be exhausted by logging, but will regenerate over time.

Logging, like most actions, can be repeated with F9

Types of wood

There are seven types of wood. The following four types can be found in forests. Your skill in woodcrafting will determine whether you can find non-ordinary woods.

• ordinary
• oak
• silverleaf
• ash

These types of woods are all alchemical concoctions and cannot be found by logging:

• vampyric
• venomous
• ebony

The different wood types have the same properites as the non-ordinary metals. More on types and properties here.

• 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 tinted logs

Venomous, vampyric and ebony logs are made by alchemically treating regular logs with various ingredients. More on treating and alchemy here.

Polypiling Logs

Tinted logs can be made from ordinary logs 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 and Weaponsmiths.

Here is a list of items that can be made from ordinary logs along with their minimum skill requrements:

Item	Ingredients	Skill
crossbow	Logs	65
long bow	Logs	60
crook	Logs	55
short bow	Logs	50
shillelagh	Logs	45
small shield	Logs	30
buckler	Logs	25
club	Logs	15
staff	Logs	10
pole	Logs	5
torch x5	Logs	0
lumber*	Logs	0

* Lumber is created by using a saw rather than a pocket knife.

Woodrafting, like most crafting skills, can be repeated with F11

To craft oak items you will need a Oak Pocket Knife. You will not be able to find Oak Logs until 50% Woodcrafting. This is not the whole Oak crafting list as i reach a higher % i will add more.

Oak Item	Ingredients	Skill
Oak Long Bow	Logs	75
Oak Crook	Logs	70
Oak Short Bow	Logs	65
Oak Shillelagh	Logs	60
Oak Small Shield	Logs	45
Oak Buckler	Logs	40
Oak Club	Logs	30
Oak Staff	Logs	25

To craft Ash items you will need a Ash Pocket Knife. You will not be able to find Ash Logs until 60% Woodcrafting.

Ash Item	Ingredients	Skill
Ash Crossbow	Logs	75
Ash Long Bow	Logs	70
Ash Crook	Logs	65
Ash Short Bow	Logs	60
Ash Shillelagh	Logs	55
Ash Small Shield	Logs	40
Ash Buckler	Logs	35
Ash Club	Logs	25
Ash Staff	Logs	20

How to create tinted pocket knives

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

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

Carpentry

All carpentry requires a hammer, which can be created by a tinker. Carpentry creates soulbound furniture scrolls, thus is only useful if you own a house.

Item	Ingredients	Skill
small table	lumber + nails	70
tile scrolls (wooden floor)	lumber	70
chairs	lumber + nails	75
dresser	lumber + nails + mirror	80
