Six's Quest for 99 Woodcutting!




Hello there,
I'm Six or as they call me in Runescape, Zaro- I mean Sixflags58. I've finally decided to buckle down, and go for 99 Woodcutting. I've been wc on and off but never really got into going for 99. I decided since i'm halfway there, to go for it.

Background:
So.I started playing Runescape back in October of 2006. I was exploring the vast area known as Lumbridge and Varrock (vast to me back then). As I was training and gaining levels, I grew to like Woddcutting more than any other skill. Sometimes I would look at the Wc guide and think "Holy Crap! Magic Tress look sooo cool and the Waka Canoe too!" So I decided what the heck, I'd train Wc just to get those and then I'll do something else. As I did this I was meeting so many people around the trees I was at. I thought Wc was the best skill ever! I got up to about 82 Wc when I went to go train other stats. I switched to Wc on and off until 92 Wc where there was the longest hiatus. I took about a 3-4 month break from Wc and then finally I thought to myself, since i'm already halfway, why not. And thats where we are today.

*que ending credits*

I will be keeping a checklist of the wc levels I acheive. So without further ado I bring you, The Checklist.


Levels 1-92 [x]

93[x]

94[]<-----276k xp until this level.

95[]

96[]

97[]

98[]

99[] <----- Well it's about time!


Location: Near Mobilising Armies.
Tree Type: Eucalyptus

I really dislike this new attitude going around in runescape.
It seams all anyone's interested in anymore is grinding to be the best...
What happened to the good old days when nobody grinded? What happened to all the good times of just merching, questing, and chillin'?

It's a huge put off of runescape to think that I have to WORK to be recognized now that everyone thinks it's fun to WORK all of a suden....

Good Luck! Over half-way there!
Shadowgoomba
Wow you're goin for 99 at willows? Why not maples or possibly yews?
WiiRoxedem
I remember 99 wc. blush.gif It was my first 99, and the longest one.
Good luck.

I like skillcapes.. ermm.gif
Darth Irule
Good luck!

Woodcutting is very very boring.
Neven
Goodluck with 99 WC. I agree, very boring indeed ha.
urantis
woohoo...good luck!

Why does everyone think that grinding and training to 99 is inherently bad, and something to be looked down on. If he enjoys it, let him do it - I enjoyed my 99 thief and while it left me somewhat exhaused the cape's a great source of pride for me.
Shufflestorm
Level 99 woodcutting is the first level 99 which I would like to obtain on Shufflestorm. After that I think i'll go for 99 fletching.

Need to rack up the funds to purchase a dragon hatchet though. I'm half way there (1 mil gp).

People can't handle change. There never used to be many people with many 99's.

How I long for 99 Woodcutting...

Anyway, good luck. You need alot of patience and determination to get 99 so you will have earnt it.

Here's a quote I found on a guide to woodcutting:

"Here we come to perhaps the most underrated tree of all: the eucalyptus. Most players aren't even aware of its existence, and yet it's actually among the best training methods out there. Part of it is probably the quest requirement: you need to have at least started As a First Resort in order to access the bank in Oo'glog, which is the only practical one to use (about 30-40 seconds to bank). That means you need a few easy-to-get skill levels and completion of another couple of quests that could take what, maybe 2 hours?

Well, I'll tell you that the small effort is definitely worth it. Even if you don't finish the quest to gain access to all the useful spa facilities (such as the Saltwater Spring that gives unlimited run energy temporarily) you'll be able to get to a great tree that gives an excellent mix of speed and profit, and is never crowded. (It's also possible to reach them with a Spirit Larupia teleport, but I don't recommend that.)

The general area around the eucalyptus trees is full of aggressive enemies as high as level 99. However, the small grove of four trees just west of the gate is virtually ogress-proof. If you stay on the west side of them, you should very rarely be attacked, if at all. There's an ogress champion with a max hit of 10 that patrols the area between the trees and the gate, and she'll get a couple pot shots on you every so often, but not enough to kill you, especially since the thermal bath in the spa can fully restore your hp if you need it. The only monster that can reach you while you're chopping is a level 64 wolf, which will only ever notice you when you chop the southernmost tree, and very rarely (maybe once in every 4 hours). If it attacks you, you can either kill it (they drop gold charms and wolf bones and that's about it) or run to the east and let the ogress champion take another pot shot at you, which will make the wolf lose interest. There's also an ogress who sometimes notices you when you chop the northernmost tree. If this happens, run around to the east side of the tree and the ogress will be trapped behind it until you return. There should be no risk of dying unless you get into a freak disconnection.

A summoning obelisk is conveniently placed just south of your trees, only a few seconds away. That means you should use a familiar all the time here, since you have nothing to lose by it. Beavers, terrorbirds, fruit bats, pack yaks, whatever. Take your pick. And be sure to go into a well-populated world, because the trees respawn slowly. Even in a full world you'll probably be alone here.

Don't chop and burn these. If you want to train firemaking as well, either chop and burn teaks, or sell your eucs to buy maples.

This is the method I used to get to 99, so I have a lot of data for it. (I was the first person I know of to get 99 at eucs, too. Call me a pioneer.) When I came here around the mid-60s with a dragon axe, I was getting around 40k exp/hr or just above it. Now at 99 I average about 305 logs/hr with a dragon axe, which is about 50k exp/hr. Eucalyptus logs then are about 5k exp/hr faster than yews, which translates to a significant time saving over the long run, enough to make it well worth doing the quest. Depending on the market they can be more profitable than yews as well--at the time of writing they're 385 gp each, which means I can get about 120k gp/hr there. I've seen them as low as 320 and as high as 410. Prices can fluctuate, but they will definitely sell! The logs are very good firemaking experience at a more affordable cost than yews, so there's enough demand that you should have no trouble selling in a reasonable amount of time.

In short, this is a little-known but very good tree to train on, superior to both willows and yews.

Fun fact: eucalyptus ents change colour, turning a very lovely shade of turquoise."

I'm also personally training to 99 woodcutting with the eucalyptus. It makes great cash and experience, and because of the rate at which you chop them they are better than yews. happy.gif

Ok so,
I'm leaving for Diabetes Camp (that's type 1 diabetes, type 2 is the one where you need to be fat to get, so just to clearify, I am NOT fat, I'm actually one of the skinnier kids) for 2 weeks on Sunday and then 2 days after that I'm going to Cross Country (Running) Camp, and I go back to school on the 27th.

So that means I don't have too much time left for Runescape this summer. I will try and fit some time in on the last week or so of Summer.

Thanks,
Six

Congratz on all the levels and have fun at camp. cool.gif
