Lumberjacking:

Why Lumberjacking?
Simply, lumberjacking produces regular and oak logs. These resources are needed in a variety of crafting projects.

Lumberjacking also provides a passive damage bonus when using axe weaponry in combat. The bonus damage is determined based off of the following formula:

Code:

((Lumberjacking Skill / 10 ) -1) + (1 if GM)

(e.g., At 50 skill you will receive +4 damage, at 99 skill you will receive +9 damage, and at GM you will receive +10 damage)


How to Lumberjack:
You will need some type of axe - the type does not matter. Double axes, battle axes, or even hatchets all produce the same amount of lumber. The axe must be equipped and held in the lumberjack's hands. Double-clicking the axe and then targeting an adjacent tree will start your character swinging. The swinging action can take anywhere from 1 to 3 seconds. Depending on your skill level, your character will succeed or fail to produce logs. If successful, the message "You put some logs in your backpack" will be displayed and 10 logs will be deposited and put into your character's pack. Successes always produce 10 logs. If you fail, the message "You hack at the tree for awhile but fail to produce any lumber" will be displayed.

Trees contain a maximum of 60 logs. If your character chops and fails to produce lumber, this can reduce the maximum amount of logs remaining in the tree. Once a tree is depeleted, the message "There's not enough wood here to harvest" will be displayed. The tree will "replenish" it's logs after roughly 52 minutes.

It should also be noted that some types of trees cannot be chopped. Refer to the list below:

Trees that can be chopped:

Cedar Tree


Oak Tree


Walnut Tree


Yew Tree


Willow Tree


The highly exotic "tree":



Trees that cannot be chopped:

O'hii Tree


Sapling



Training Lumberjacking:
Lumberjacking can be trained one of two ways:

1. Hitting a monster (or someone) with an axe weapon. If sparring, using hatchets is advised as they do the least damage of all axe weapons.
2. Chopping trees

Oak Logs:
Once the lumberjack has reached 85 real lumberjacking skill, they have a chance to produce oak logs when chopping certain trees. Like ore veins, these trees will always yield oak, even after depleted. Also like ore veins, chopping oak trees still has a 50% chance to produce regular logs.

NOTE: There is no visual difference between an oak-producing tree from a non oak-producing tree.
NOTE: Even if single-clicking a tree says it is an "oak tree", it does not necessarily produce oak!

Getting Your Boards Back to the Bank:
Perhaps the hardest part of lumberjacking is getting your resources back to the bank. Lumber is heavy, even after reducing it from logs to boards. There are a couple options:

• Use a pack horse. Pack horses on UOR can carry 3200 stones (aka, 3200 boards).
• Recall to the bank.
• Chop near a house you own. Lock down a pile of boards on your front step, and then you can safely add additional boards to the pile as you produce them. When complete, you can drag the boards through a moongate (using the Gate Travel spell) and deposit them in the bank.

Macros:
The below macro will attempt to equip a hatchet and then will continually chop a tree that is directly above your character (exactly northwest). It waits 4 seconds for the swinging animation to complete before attempting to swing again. You can then move tree to tree, as they become depleted.

Code:

!Loop
Assistant.Macros.LiftTypeAction|3907|1
Assistant.Macros.DropAction|0x147FA|(0, 0, 0)|2
Assistant.Macros.PauseAction|00:00:00.2000000
Assistant.Macros.HotKeyAction|1305|
Assistant.Macros.WaitForTargetAction|1
Assistant.Macros.TargetRelLocAction|-1|-1
Assistant.Macros.PauseAction|00:00:04

Other Bits of Info:

• Logs weigh 2 stones each. Double-clicking an axe and then targeting the logs in your pack will reduce them to boards, which weigh 1 stone each. Unlike smelting ores, this can be done anywhere and there is no chance of failure, so reducing logs to boards is pretty much always a good idea.
• Lumberjacking can be done from horseback.
• Lumberjacking will very slowly wear down axes and hatchets.
• Lumberjacking is a resource gathering activity, so you can be presented with an "AFK Gump".

Gideon I believe there are also bust statues from ratmen. I owned one and sold it to Dal I believe.

You could chop willows just fine last time I checked.
