range and more

I'm not sure how woodcutting benefits the ranged skill (or any others aside from the other 3 you mentioned). Did I miss something? arrow shafts bows crossbow stocks are all made of wood so makes sense :P

Yeah so that'd be fletching, which was already mentioned.

It seems we have very similar thoughts about how Woodcutting should work, LtMadWolf.

Getting more creative ideas to better the skill and reward xp for efforts like archeology where you get a little xp excavating then get a lump some of xp for finding material and artifacts.

Whilst I love the finding and restoring artefacts aspect of Archaeology, I certainly feel that this could have been split into two separate skills. If something similar were to be applied to another skill, such as Woodcutting, I'd like to see the lump sum XP activity to be in something other than Woodcutting. This could be Crafting, Fletching, or an entirely new skill.

It's not that I'm against having a lump sum XP activity for Woodcutting, I just feel that Gathering and Artisan skills should be distinctive and Archaeology blurred the line too much for my liking (in terms of gathering and restoring only. I love how varied the rest of the skill is).

Woodcutting was my first 99, many years before the rest levels, and I loved it so much. It would be great to see it being revived, And I really hope for a lvl 90 hatchet. I honestly feel the Adze should be incorporated into this.

We really need an awesome "Hatchet of *Something* and *Something*"! :D

From a personal standpoint I actually kind of like woodcutting, it sets a different pace to other skills and I find the relative slowness relaxing. It helps de-stress from a hard day at work, similar to how a game like animal crossing does.

That said It could do with a rework, to address level curves and item tiers. Lvl 1-40 takes like an hour and a half, then the later levels can be exasperating as you close in on 99, especially if it’s your first cape.

As for the ideas presented here I like the majority, there’s a couple that I think wouldn’t really be feasible but as a whole, I like where you’re coming from.

Ultimately I think if Jagex take your ideas into consideration and find a decent middle ground between them and what we have now. Then we’d be looking at a pretty decent Woodcutting rework.

P.S I heard you were looking for some ideas, although admittedly it’s just a Woodcutting version of the fishing platform.

Another nice thread, I like your ideas.

The only real feedback that I have is on the brief discussion from earlier in the thread about degrading hatchets - I don't think that the hatchets should degrade, but perhaps there should be an (invention?) item that would make them extra sharp/keen for a limited time? A buff rather than a debuff in style. Things may be looking down now, but I see a light at the end of the tunnel;
Do you think I should get off the tracks?

NO WOODCUTTING IS FINE THE WAY IT IS. IF ANYTHING ADD MORE HIGHER LVL TREES. WC IS AFK WE DONT NEED TO CHANGE IT SO ITS NOT AFK AND HAVE TO CLICK EVERY TICK
THE GAME NEEDS NO MORE FKING REWORKS. sry for the caps but i rly dont want wc to change. as soon as i seen make it like mining / smiting i stopped reading cuz i h8 how they messed up smithing i havent smithing much since then. AND FIREMAKING FLETCHING AND CRAFTING DONT NEED A RE WORK EITHER STOP TRYING TO MESS THE GAME UP EVEN MORE!!!!! MESSING WITH MY FIREMAKING HOW DARE YOU!!!!! i dont mind getting higher lvl trees and hatchets but dont change anything about how we collect the wood. no progress bar. or stamina bar bs.

Thanks for your feedback Adarajin. I like the idea of something that makes hatchets more keen for a limited time. Perhaps this should be limited to a special type of hatchet

Pyro Squall, thanks for you feedback. I can see you are very passionate about Woodcutting, but don't worry, my aim with what's suggested here is to make it more AFK than it is now. The only comparison to the Mining and Smithing rework I've made is that it would probably take just as much work by Jagex to implement. The only mention of a "stamina bar" is actually a "health bar", and this is so we can more easily track when a tree is about to fall. Right now it's very random and you have to pay attention at all times to otherwise your avatar may be stood doing nothing.

I implore you to give this thread a chance and read what I have to say.

Very cool ideas. I agree that Woodcutting feels a bit outdated. Though, it doesn't feel that much more outdated than plenty of other activities in the game so... as much as I'd love for this rework to happen fairly soon, I expect it will end up on the backburner for quite some time.
