Why train Woodcutting?
Woodcutting is the archetypal AFK skill, feeding Firemaking and Fletching while several trees produce logs that sell for a dependable profit.
ScapePath surfaces the profit trees alongside the AFK ones, so you can pick a method that quietly earns while you level, and links the logs to their money method.
60 is yews, 75 covers magic trees and most axes, and 90 opens redwoods for strong passive gp at the Woodcutting Guild. Teak trees are the high-effort route if raw XP is the priority.
