This guide introduces "Forestry: The Way of the Forester," a new woodcutting expansion in OSRS. It covers its launch, activity locations, and the essential Forestry kit, purchasable with OSRS gold coins. The guide details unique Forestry events like Rising Roots and Flowering Bush, offering rewards and experience. It highlights the Rewards Shop, where players exchange Anima-infused bark for items like the Secateurs Blade and Lumberjack Set. The guide advises against spending bark on Lumberjack pieces, suggesting Temple Trekking as an alternative source.
Recently, the OSRS community welcomed the launch of "Forestry: The Way of the Forester - Part One." While many players have already embarked on this new journey, others are still exploring what this new expansion has to offer. Here's a breakdown of the latest addition to the OSRS Woodcutting experience.
What is Forestry?
Forestry represents a significant expansion to the classic woodcutting activity in Old School RuneScape (OSRS). Launched on June 28, 2023, it is designed to enhance the woodcutting experience, making it more interactive and social. The first installment is already live, with the second part anticipated to arrive in September 2023.
Worlds, Locations, and Clan for the Activity
To participate in Forestry, players can join in on designated official worlds:
· W444 - United States (west)
· W487 - United States (east)
· W510 - United Kingdom
The activity spans various locations, each offering different types of trees:
· Yew & Maple: Seer Village
· Yew: East bank of Prifddinas (requires completion of Song of the Elves)
· Willow: Draynor Village
· Magic Tree: Locations include east of the Ranging Guild, west bank of Prifddinas (Song of the Elves required), west of the Myths' Guild Teleport location (Dragon Slayer II required), and near the Xeric's Talisman Glade teleport location in Hosidius
· Mahogany/Teak: Northeast corner of Prifddinas (Song of the Elves completion required)
Forestry Kit
Before starting your Forestry adventure, it's essential to procure a Forestry kit. This kit can be purchased for 120 OSRS gold coins from the Friendly Forester, located south of the Seer Bank or the Draynor Bank. This kit is a crucial tool as it allows players to store all unique resources obtained from the Forestry activity, streamlining the woodcutting process and inventory management.
Apart from the primary woodcutting activities, Forestry introduces unique challenges and community-driven events that encourage players to collaborate and compete. These events might involve special tree-cutting competitions or collaborative efforts to clear certain wooded areas. Players can earn exclusive rewards and experience boosts by participating in these activities, adding a layer of excitement and competitiveness to the traditional woodcutting experience.
Forestry Events in OSRS: Engaging Activities for Woodcutters
The world of Old School RuneScape (OSRS) is enriched with dynamic Forestry events, adding a layer of excitement to the woodcutting experience. These events are accessible to all players, offering unique rewards and interactions. Whether you have been chopping down trees in the overworld or simply passing by (excluding the Woodcutting Guild), these events are open for everyone to participate in.
Types of Forestry Events
1. Rising Roots
During this event, choppable tree roots emerge, providing Woodcutting experience and Anima-infused bark upon chopping.
A special root glows occasionally, offering greater rewards. The glowing root changes location periodically, so stay vigilant to reap the most benefits.
2. Flowering Bush
This event involves helping bees pollinate the correct pair of flowers.
Players can identify the right flowers through trial and error, or rely on hints from other players. If you have your OSRS account settings adjusted to hide other players, this might make it easier to spot the right flowers.
Successful pollinations yield Anima-infused bark.
3. Struggling Sapling
Triggered when someone chopping has a bee on a stick, this event requires players to gather three specific resources to create Mulch for feeding the sapling.
The resources include Droppings, Green Leaves, Rotting Leaves, Splintered Bark, and Wild Mushrooms, and must be collected in a specific order.
Communication among players is key, as sharing the correct sequence (like "BMG" for Bark, Mushrooms, and Green Leaves) leads to better rewards.
The reward is Anima-infused bark, with bonus bark and leaves for using the right Mulch.
4. Leprechaun
Another event triggered by the bee on a stick, the appearance of the Woodcutting Leprechaun doesn't offer direct rewards but provides a valuable service: banking your logs for free.
Locating Forestry Events
If you're keen on participating in these events, frequent teleportation and checking the various activity locations can be a beneficial strategy. With an active OSRS account, you can easily teleport to the relevant areas and join in on these dynamic and rewarding activities, enhancing your overall woodcutting experience in the game.
The Forestry Rewards Shop
Embark on a rewarding journey with the latest addition to your woodcutting endeavors: the Forestry Rewards Shop. Managed by the affable Friendly Forester, this unique shop is your go-to destination for exchanging Anima-infused bark for an array of valuable items. Here's a peek of what awaits you:
5. Secateurs Blade: A critical tool for refined woodcutting.
6. Ritual Mulch: Enhance your woodcutting efficiency with this special blend.
7. Clover Insignia: A symbol of good fortune and skill.
8. Powdered Pollen: A sprinkle of this can work wonders in your woodcutting pursuits.
9. Log Brace: Reinforce your logs for better handling.
10. Clothes Pouch Blueprint: Unlock the secrets to crafting your own woodcutting gear.
11. Log Basket: Conveniently carry more logs with this sturdy basket.
12. Funky Shaped Log: A unique find that's both decorative and practical.
13. Lumberjack Set: Comprising boots, top, legs, and hat for the traditional woodcutter look.
14. Forestry Set: A modern attire set including boots, top, legs, and hat, tailored for the contemporary forester.
A word of advice: While the allure of the Lumberjack set is undeniable, consider saving your Anima-infused bark. The pieces of this set are more readily obtained through adventures in Temple Trekking/Burgh de Rott Ramble.
Embrace the joy of woodcutting with these enhancements and happy timber gathering!
