How to level Lumberjacking

All tradeskills share one training curve. Each action (a swing, a smelt, a forge, a brew...) adds training points; when the bar reaches the cost of the next skill point, your skill goes up by 1. The cost of the next point at skill s is 1 × (1 + s / 12)^1.7 points, so it is fast early and slower higher up. An action adds 1 + 0.35 × tier points while your skill is inside the recipe's (or node's) optimal range – from its required level up to 20 levels above it. Above that the gain shrinks and reaches zero (“trivial”) 25 levels later: nothing more is learned from that item, and the game tells you to try something harder. Each action also trains a core stat a little (see “Stat training” above). Skills are trained by use and have a soft cap of 250 (like every skill; they can reach 1000).

Chopping basics

• You need a hatchet in your bag (blacksmiths sell them; new characters start with one). Use a tree with E / right-click.
• Swing time, charges and bonus logs work like mining (same formulas, using the tree's skill requirement).
• Chopping trains Strength.
