Woodcutting

Overview
Woodcutting is 1 of the 6 non-combat progression skills in the game. The Woodcutting tab can be unlocked when the player has crafted a primitive axe. There are only passive elements to Woodcutting. Woodcutting gives you different types of wood material and woodcutting XP.

Woodcutters
You can hire woodcutters for gold and a woodcutting axe. The cost to hire woodcutters increases with tier. Unlike miners, the quality of the axe is reflected in the statistics of the woodcutter. This results in faster wood collection, multiple drops per collection, and the likelihood of getting rarer drops.

Levels and Logs
Higher woodcutting levels unlock new woodcutters you can hire. A woodcutter can cut logs of its own level and lower. The requirements for crafting different axes are listed on the crafting page.

Retirement
Woodcutters cannot be fired, but instead activate Retirement. This causes the woodcutter to chop wood 1,250% faster for 60 seconds, after which the woodcutter retires. This can be used to buy new tiers of woodcutters or as a more active way of chopping wood when you have a lot of axes and money but need logs quickly.
