OSRS Forestry Will Be Going Live on Wednesday, 28th June 2023

Great news for Woodcutters! Forestry: The Way of the Forester expansion - Part one will launch on Wednesday, 28th June 2023. And the second part will go live in August. Now let's explore more about it.

New Tree Spawn Mechanics Change

Trees will despawn on a timer. And the timer activates when you start cut the tree and regenerates if you stop cutting it before you chop it down. If nobody is chopping the tree, the timer will regenerate slowly.

Different trees have various despawn times based on the tree levels:

Oak: 27s

Willow: 30s

Teak: 30s

Maple: 1m

Hollow Trees: 36s

Mahogany: 1m

Arctic Pine: 1m 24s

Yew: 1m 54s

Magic: 3m 54s

Redwood: 4m 24s

Please note that normal trees will maintain the current mechanism, and Hollow trees will not spawn events!

Group Cutting Bonuses

The more players chop the same tree, the more bonuses you will get, from +1 to +10 (invisible level and up to 10).

Please note that you won't receive the invisible bonus when cutting normal trees or cutting trees in the Woodcutting Guild.

The invisible bonus can stack with visible bonuses, such as Teas, Campfires, or the Dragon Axe special attack.

Jagex is willing to add the Woodcutting-focused worlds to the world selection interface so that you can find other players easier.

Events Mechanics

You have a chance to encounter the events when you chop trees with your Forestry Kit, 4-5 per hour for a single and 7-9 for a 10-players group.

A random event will spawn when a tree is first chopped, during chopping, or the tree falls.

The event that requires an item will not spawn if all players don't have it. But if only one player has it, the event will also spawn. So, you'd better bring the required items for the events.

The tree with a shorter timer will have a lower chance to spawn an event but will allow for more rolls. The higher-level trees like Magic work the opposite way!

2-Handed Axes

You can upgrade your current Woodcutting axes to 2-Handed Axes. Firstly you must buy an Axe Handle from the Forestry Shop and then attach it to your current axe. Please note that the process is irreversible.

The Axe Handle and your upgraded axes will be tradeable on the Grand Exchange.

With the 2-Handed Axes, you will have the same speed as the current ones, gaining extra experience in exchange for getting fewer logs.

The special benefit will cost 40% of your run energy, receiving 18% more experience for each 'successful' cut with a 20% chance of not getting a log.

You can gain around a maximum of 10% XP/HR, being the most efficient with a 10-player group.

We hope the blog will help you.
