LUMBERJACKING
Stand before a tree and gaze upward. Do you see leaves? Jagged limbs? Branches? The skilled lumberjack may gaze at the same tree and see buildings and towers and finely carved wooden goods.
The Tools
Axes, hatchets or pole arms are required for harvesting wood from trees.
Sold By: Weaponsmith
Crafted? Yes, using the Blacksmithing or Tinkering skills.
Using Lumberjacking
To use your Lumberjacking skill to harvest wood from trees throughout Britannia:
Equip a hatchet or axe.
Stand close to a tree.
Double-click the weapon.
Target the tree.
If successful, some logs are placed in your backpack. The type of wood harvested is based on your skill level.
Note: Using the “Circle of Transparency” option can make it difficult to target trees for harvesting. You may wish to minimize your transparency when using the Lumberjacking skill.
