Work out the XP you need, how many logs that is, and how many hours it will actually take — then see what the same hours are worth if a bot does them instead. Pick a tree once; both calculators follow it.
Experience per log is fixed by the game. Experience per hour is that figure multiplied by your logs per hour, which you set below — because it swings enormously with your axe, your level and the spot. Tap a card to switch tree.
Every figure above assumes you are at the keyboard for all of it. Woodcutting is one action held down for a few hundred hours, with a bank trip when the inventory fills — which is exactly the kind of thing that does not need a person doing it.
Botting Hub plays the official game client with nothing injected or hooked, driving it with AI vision and simulated input. Below is what the same tree earns unattended.
Old School RuneScape uses a fixed experience curve — each level needs roughly 10% more XP than the last. That is why level 92 is the halfway point to 99: 6,517,253 XP of the 13,034,431 needed.
Why logs per hour is an input. Woodcutting rates swing more than almost any other skill — a rune axe at 60 and a dragon axe at 90 are different activities, and magic trees take minutes per log while willows fall in seconds. Publishing one XP-per-hour figure per tree would be inventing precision that does not exist. Experience per log is fixed, so the calculator takes that as given and lets you set the pace.
On the yew figure. The wiki's money-making guide puts cutting yew logs at roughly 359,000 GP an hour after tax, from about 210 logs, at 60+ Woodcutting. The version of this calculator that came before showed 75,000. Log prices move a long way and Forestry changed the picture, so rather than pick a side the price is an input — put in what yews are selling for today.
Free-to-play. Regular, oak, willow and yew trees are all available without membership, so a free account carries no bond cost at all. It still needs its own IP, which is why the proxy stays in the running cost either way.
It depends entirely on the tree and your axe. At 210 logs an hour on yew that is about 355 hours; on redwood at 380 XP a log it drops to roughly 163. Set your own logs per hour above — it is the number that decides everything here.
Regular 25, oak 37.5, willow 67.5, teak 85, maple 100, mahogany 125, yew 175, magic 250 and redwood 380 per log. Levels required are 1, 15, 30, 35, 45, 50, 60, 75 and 90.
The wiki's money-making guide puts it at roughly 359,000 GP an hour after tax from about 210 logs, at 60+ Woodcutting. That is well above the 75,000 figure this calculator used to show, and log prices move a great deal — put today's price in above rather than trusting any fixed number.
A great deal. A higher-tier axe swings more often, so upgrading is frequently a bigger rate increase than moving up a tree tier. Use the best one your level allows, and raise the logs-per-hour figure above to match.
Power-chop when the logs are not worth the bank trip — usually willow and below. Bank them from maple upward, and especially yew and magic, where the logs are most of the value.
13,034,431 XP from level 1. Level 92 is 6,517,253 — the halfway point in XP, not level 50.
Yes — regular, oak, willow and yew trees are all available in free-to-play. Tick the box above and the bond cost drops out of the profit calculation, since you do not need membership. Expect more competition for spawns than on members worlds.
Sell them, or feed them into Firemaking or Fletching. Running two scripts off one log supply trains two skills from one grind.
