Lumberjacking

Wiki edited Aug 24, 2026

Summary

  • Players can use a Hatchet to chop trees and harvest Logs.
  • Players can double-click Logs to convert them into Boards. Boards are a valuable resource used by Carpenters and other crafting professions.
  • Lumberjacking always uses Smart Harvest, by double clicking the hatchet you have equipped you automatically attempt to harvest all nearby trees.
  • There is a random chance to harvest colored logs if the player meets the material's skill requirement.
  • Lumberjacking within town regions is blocked, except for Shelter Island with a young player status.
  • Trees are randomized when they respawn and have a chance to uncover colored logs
  • Colored hatchets increase the chance to chop logs successfully
  • The chance for a tree to be of a rarer color is not affected by outside parameters
  • If you don't have the required skill to harvest the log color of the current tree, you will find the highest color or you can harvest instead
  • Whenever a player Recalls, Travels via Moongate, or Hikes, they will have a 60 second delay before they can attempt to Harvest again
    • Same applies after teleporting or using an Adventurer's Rope

At 100.0 to 119.9 only an attempt that successfully harvests a colored log type will have a chance to increase your lumberjacking skill, this applies also to lumberjacking maps, which can be helpful since you will harvest that color on every attempt. You need not harvest higher colors progressively(dullwood, then shadowwood, the copperwood, etc) to get to 120. Dullwood lumber maps can be used to go from 100 all the way to 120.
