Best Skills To Improve Early In RuneScape: Dragonwilds

Woodcutting is a classic RuneScape skill that comes in especially handy in Dragonwilds. Whether you need wood to construct the foundation of your base, craft some new gear, or brew some potions, you need to be able to chop and loot wood effectively.

As you progress your Woodcutting skill, the stamina cost to chop is reduced, and you unlock a slew of useful spells and abilities. Perhaps the most useful spell in Dragonwilds is called Axtral Projection, which allows you to chop down one to a few trees instantly. Leveling up Woodcutting also grants you the ability to chop down Thorny Vines, which is great for exploration purposes, and unlocks a structure you can build that stores excess wood logs at your base. You need to level up Woodcutting to level 40 to unlock all of its abilities, but the max level you can reach is 49.

While you don’t have to reach level 49 straight away, chopping down trees and harvesting logs is going to save you time in the long run, and this, in turn, advances the Woodcutting skill. Having a high Woodcutting level makes your base building easier, allows you to have access to more wood, and aids you in your exploration across the map. So, get out your logging axe, and start going to work chopping down the forest in Dragonwilds.
