A lot of new updates coming the next 2 or 3 months.

"WOODCUTTERS' GROVE
Woodcutting is finally getting some love! Venture back to Fort Forinthry to establish a new Woodcutting training area, upgrade your Fort with a new Woodcutting bonus-laden building, and - in particular spicy news! - a brand new T80 Hatchet to go earn. We'll also be making some balancing improvements to the Woodcutting experience alongside the update too."


This Duke of Forinthry's domain is keep expanding.

We are going to get a new T80 hatchet soon. How do we get it? How much is it better than dragon and crystal?

I wonder if 'dead and buried' will have something to do with the hatchet? ('bury the hatchet')
That's cool though, it's been a while since woodcutting had an update (that i remember) Bob says:

It sounds like we're getting:

1. More trees.

2. Enhancements which will make us chop trees faster.

If previous, similar, updates for other skills are to go by, then this is very underwhelming.

However, if it works similarly to the aquarium for fishing, then perhaps this is something to look forward to.

Since they've explicitly said they'll be reworking XP rates, I wouldn't be surprised to see Woodcutting become a faster skill to train, despite Woodcutting (and by extension, Fletching) being almost as unbalanced as the old Mining & Smithing skills. Making a skill faster to train doesn't account for this imbalance. I hope it gets addressed sometime soon!

I think we get it from the new Woodcutter's Grove. It may be some place like the Herblore Habitat. We have different woodcutting (and perhaps a little bit of fletching) activities with different rewards, including the new BiS hatchet.

I think it will be solely skilling based instead of killing dagannoth to get a d-hatchet though, just to further balance out the skilling and killing aspects of the ecosystem.

Think theyll take a page from the Lava Flow Mine and how the player gets their Imcando Hatchet? (assuming they stick with the other tools for pickaxe and mattock)

If the new hatchet follows the pattern set out by the mattock of time and space and pickaxe of earth and song, then it will be made from crystal and imcando hatchets + a gold sink requirement.
The imcando hatchet pieces will be dropped from the new content and upgrade from dragon hatchet.

Although i hope they throw in inferno adze into the recipe just cause :P

I expect us to be able to remove a hatchet from the tool belt to make it but i don't think currently augmented hatchets will be usable for crafting the new one on release. Jagex tends to forget that sort of thing

Ive been wondering when they were going to finally give us something decent instead of a t70 (t75 with honed 6) hatchet...cause lets face it...those of us who make incense and fletch elder shafts have been plagued by this nonsense called a crystal hatchet not really cutting it.
Even with the Sentinel Suit, scrim and aura, plus the perks...its still a painful process, even with fyra's too! Can't forget about that lovely addition...oh and I have a feeling this is going to be required to make the new hatchet...something in my gut's telling me this...so ya might wanna go try for a few while you can, cause if you look...the panic buyers have already shot the price of it WAY up.

If they follow suit with the Imcando tools...it better be a T90 hatchet not T80! That's just ridiculous!
Also, AFU got borked with a few of the wild changes, seeing as how I've reported a irritating bug with the beacons...one doesn't stay lit even if you drop extra logs for the storage.

If we have to grind for parts of the new axe after the new fort quest drops, it better not be locked behind something that literally hits 4k through elder salves and deflect curses...repeatedly...because that will just be extremely irritating to the masses, oh wait... *insert eye roll troll face here*
