What they haven't fixed is trees randomly dying (1/8 per log) and in extension the presence of other players - players who farmed their imcando hatchet in the grove the first few days got extremely livid due to this. As mediocre as forestry in OS is - those two issues were addressed. Improvements: Tooltip / (F2P) QoL v2
Quick Fixes: Invention

Quite a collection of interesting ideas in this thread.

I would be particularly pleased to see magic and ranged weapons able to be enhanced through Fletching and Woodcutting similarly to how we can improve melee gear via Smithing. I would also like to see hatchets able to be upgraded just as pickaxes can be upgraded to perform better. For example, a rune hatchet +3 might roughly equate to a dragon hatchet.

In general, I would not care to have hatchets dull, break, or otherwise degrade. However, if this annoying game mechanic would be applied only to a specific type of hatchet (say, a gravite hatchet) that would perform better, that could work. The improved chop rates would have to be balanced, of course, to make using the tool worth the trouble of getting an expert to repair/sharpen the hatchet for you. This hatchet wouldn't need to be a gravite tool, or have any connection to Dungeoneering. I just used gravite as an example of how a hatchet that degrades might function much like other gravite items.

I would like to see a little more consistency with how many logs we can harvest from certain trees (14 logs from a yew tree, then only a single log from the next?). I don't think I'd want to see instanced trees, or trees that yield unlimited resources (like how ores can be mined). I feel that would encourage more botting.
I've been putting out fire with gasoline! ^_^
