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

OH MY GOD!!!! I cant wait for this update!!!!

I mean HOLY COW!!!

New places to mine!!! ...err um I mean woodcut

A new pickaxe ...err um I mean hatchet that will make mining ...err um I mean woodcutting SOOOO much faster

And re-balanced XP rates for mining ...err um I mean woodcutting that will take a grind skill like mining ...err um I mean woodcutting and make it so much more rewarding

I mean they did SUCH a FREAKING FANTASTIC job with the mining/smithing rework that I can't wait to see how Jagex IMPROVES woodcutting!!!!

THIS WILL BE FREAKING AWESOME!!!!

Do you realize we are getting a Woodcutter's Grove? We never have a mining grove or something remotely close to it. The woodcutting update is also likely related to Necromancy but the mining reworks is not lore based. Neither is there any new content buffing mining, unlike the upcoming woodcutter update.

Please also read what I wrote and you quoted again:

"A lot of

New updates, plural. We are not just getting a Woodcutter's Grove update in RS3. We are getting a lot of updates including the new Necromancy skill in the next 2 or 3 months.

In your OP, YOU ARE THE ONE who chose to only quote the woodcutting portion of the release and brought up the hatchet part; not I. It is no small wonder the MOST of the other posts refer to woodcutting and hatchet only. What else did you expect but for people to stay on topic?

And where in the release does it say the woodcutting update is EVEN REMOTELY tied to lore or Necromancy? The two are not even MENTIONED in the same section.

The Woodcutter's Grove and Hatchet are listed and mentioned AS A UPDATE, SINGULAR

YOU are the one who chose the focus of the thread EVEN IN THE TITLE and it is a single update.

Again lore and Necromancy are not mentioned in the woodcutting section, so a connection is an EXTREMELY far stretch.

Lava Flow Mine was supposed to be the "Woodcutters Grove" of Mining with new buffs, action and interaction, community involvement, and a new form of mining. It was heavily lore based with the Dwarven quest line and was the only place to obtain the parts for the Incando pickaxe and the Gold Mining suit. BOTH new content buffs for mining.

Lava Flow Mine was popular, got abused, nerfed, and is now almost dead content.

Those who do not remember the past are doomed to repeat it.

Empty Throne Room mine where we had 2 incarnations
Red and crystal flecked sandstone mines
Granite ans sandstone mines with Menaphos
Croessus calcified fungus (mining shrooms)

I mean I could go thru some of the woodcutting stuff as well ....

Choking Ivy
Tadidad Crystal to chop
bloodwood trees
crystal trees
Bamboo variants
Jadinko Lair has 2 woodcutting for the roots and the vines
acadia trees



Granted .. would be nice if the Imcando Pieces could also be a rare chance from Evil Elder Trees and the WIlderness Bloodwood trees


Even then, the OG woodgrove was the Hardwood Grove in Tai Bwo Wannai

Thanks for bringing up the numerous updates to both mining and woodcutting in the past, some of them successes and some failures. After the MASSIVE hypes to some and the letdowns after, I take all these with a grain of salt. I really do hope that Woodcutters grove is worth it but when ever Jagex mentions rebalancing something it usually means NERF.

It will be interesting IF, and it is a big IF; the new hatchet involves Incando pieces. So far, all Incando drops have Dwarven involvement (duh, made by Incando Dwarves). But Dwarves have no interest in woodcutting or woodcraft. There is no Dwarven involvement in Varrock or the Fort. The story behind it would have to be long and involved and MAY require more lore then a simple update.

Never say never when it comes to dwarves.

Sarcastic/silly possibility:
it is what is left of an Imcando Battleaxe.
Thrugo laments that there isn't enough left to restore it to its proper glory as a battle axe.
you mention the suggestion of a hatchet.
he is hesitant, but relents

* when you disucss the concept of crystal hatchets and pickaxes with the elf, they start talking about a wimpy crystal tool. you emphasize that no you want a proper tool. they relent and basically suggest using a dragon tool as a base and coating it with a lot of the crystal dust

* Thrugo's discussion on the mattock
Sadly not, for a tool as large as an Imcando pickaxe I'd require some much larger pieces, with Archaeology being the big craze right now this is enough for a mattock.

Ok I get the humour in the suggestion. It may be a stretch on how the axe came to be in the fort/Varrock area without a lore component, but ok.

The only thing I'll add to it Thrugo will do ANYTHING if it involves a Red Berry pie, Red Berries which just happen to go just outside the Varrock main gate......

"FORT FORINTHRY
Speaking of Seasonal Content, it's been a blast watching you all living your best Duke/Duchess/Duxe life lately in Fort Forinthry. There are still two more big moments to come in the Fort Forinthry Season, with the first of the two arriving in June.

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.

DEAD AND BURIED
Get ready for a new Quest with even more Fort Upgrades and some storyline revelations.

While the Fort Forinthry Content Season will be coming to a close after these two Content Updates, Fort Forinthry still has stories yet untold. You won't need to have completed the Fort Forinthry Season to play Necromancy, but we do recommend starting your Fort-building adventure so you're ready for what's to come in the future!"

It is clearly mentioned we are getting a new woodcutting bonus-laden building in the Fort.

Where did Knight Scope, or anyone else for that matter of fact; deny the new building? What is the need for this completely useless post other then you feel you must have the last word? Why not just admit you were wrong as Knight Scope and Deltaslug pointed out?

Curious minds want to know

What the person I replied to wrote:

"Again lore and Necromancy are not mentioned in the woodcutting section, so a connection is an EXTREMELY far stretch."

I clearly pointed out we are getting a Woodcutter's Grove and a WC buffing building in Fort Forinthry: Necromancy. The connection is clearly there.

I replied to Knight Scope only, not you or anyone else. I don't know why you (who only had 3 posts on the RSOF with last one from months ago and clearly couldn't have anything to do with my thread) brought up yourself and "anyone" else. Thank you for your comment and I will wait the comment for the person I replied to.
