Runescape Money via Woodcutting

Runescape offers various different trees to cut down and enable players to make money from. Members have more types of trees available to them than non-members and more profit can be made - especially with Magic Logs that generally sell for 900 -1100gps each.

However, non-members can easily earn significant amounts of money from cutting yew logs, oak logs or normal logs. Although it is more limiting and in some cases will require more patience as buyers for normal logs or oak logs may be in shorter supply, while Yew log buyers may not pay premium prices to non-members.

In general, when selling logs in runescape, players must focus on the quantity available. Most players will pay premium prices for significant quantities if they are trying to achieve a skill level quickly. Members will buy logs for firemaking, fletching and construction skills while non-members will buy only for firemaking. In which case they will normally look at using their own logs that they cut when training their woodcutting skill.

The target market is therefore members who are training either fletching or construction skills. For fletching, Yew logs will be desired more while players training their construction skill will favour oak logs.

To effectively collect up large quantities of either Yew logs of Oak logs, players will need to find the relevant trees close to a bank. Time is money, and the closer the trees are to a bank, the better. Some of the better locations for training woodcutting (and consequently stockpiling logs) are:
