Jagex is reworking Woodcutting & Construction

jagax is updating wood cutting and construction with an update next week known as the woodcutters Grove there's a lot to talk about so whenever you're ready grab your cup of tea sit back relax and enjoy the woodcutters Grove update is going to be affecting wood cutting and construction but let's start by actually talking about the area itself the woodcutters Grove will be located east of Fort for in free and will be turned into a new non-wilderness area to construct the woodcutters Grove and upgrade it as if it were just another Ford building you'll need to have completed the unwelcome's guest Quest and build your guard house at tier one so you'll need level 50 construction you'll then get started by talking to either bill or Aster and then I presume you'll go through some kind of mini Quest build another section of the wall and then finally build the first tier of the woodcutters Grove essentially what this area is is a wood cutting training area that will increase the tier of tree as you physically increase the tier of the Grove building tier one will give you access to normal and oak trees tier 2 will give you access to Willow you and choking Ivy and tier 3 will give you access to an elder tree and know in case you're wondering there is no mention of a Magic Tree in the news post or the live stream now you might be wondering why would giant gags add dead content that isn't part of the current wood cutting leveling matter to this brand new area such as you and elder trees well that's where the woodcutting change is or rework comes in every single core tree from wood to Elder will be rebalanced as part of this update the base lock trees will be smooth down so that every 10 levels you have access to a brand new tier of tree for example Acadia trees will be going from level 47 to level 50 woodcutting Mogan e logs will be going from level 50 to 60 views will be going from level 60 to 70 and so on other than the requirements The Experience rate of wood cutting will also be completely rebalanced as to increase the experience floor of core log trees that were previously dead content the News Post shares a fairly detailed overview of these changes including drop speed and XP per cut changes notable examples are trajectories which will have their chop rate increase significantly in addition to a 46 experience per cut Improvement Elder logs also see a chop rate increase and enjoy a 31 experience buff per cup Crystal and gold and bamboo see some changes including a change to follow whatever regular formula means probably something like the standard Shop speed Crystal trees get their experience per cut reduced by about 20 percent but still could be an overall speed increase as indicated by this graph showing the updated speed rates for a player level 99 woodcutting the main point of this bar chart is to illustrate the difference between the before update and after update experience and it's clear as they that the current useless trees are going to be improved the most so Maple U magic and elder trees will be seeing a significant experience per hour above and it seems that jagex wants to make you pick your trees more certain resources than on experience which is also where they're adding new construction resources which I'll be covering in just a minute but first let's talk a little bit more about the woodcutter's Grove the woodcutters Grove gives you access to higher tier trees as you upgrade the cabin and has its very own left-click quick Bank known as the log deposit at Tier 1 you also gain the ability to have Birds Nest sent straight to your backpack which are the only way of obtaining brand new wood cutting Spirits yes wood cutting Stone spirit so wood spirits are coming to RuneScape these Woody boys function the same way as mining stone Spirits so provide you with an extra log instead of an ore without providing you extra experience for it so it's safe to assume these will only be used for money making by getting the Tier 1 cabin you also have the ability to store these Spirits in a brand new log box that functions and is upgraded just like the mining orabor the log box is able to hold a maximum of 260 its log wood spirit and those new bird nests however before you can add those bird nests to your log books also known as the wood box you're going to need to have the tier 2 cabin constructed other tier 2 benefits include burst Nest found while wood cutting automatically being stored in the log box and you're getting access to both a fairy ring and a brand new farming tree patch inside the woodcutters Grove and finally the tier 3 cabin will give you improved Burrows Nest rewards and the ability to obtain the brand new tier 80 in camera Hatcher pieces of which therefore from these birds nests these can be used to create a brand new encounter Hatchet which will require four PCS and a dragon Hatchet this Hatchet will be the best augmentable Hatcher in the game at tier 80 until jagax eventually adds a tier 90 hand chance which they do seem to have plans for based on their wording in the post I'm going to go ahead and assume that this Hatcher will require both the Crystal and in time to hatch it to create once they do eventually add it and in case you're wondering you're not able to use existing burst nests to get these in camera pieces as confirmed by the molds it's also worth noting that hatchets will be rebalanced and readjusted requirement wise to their respective level so Dragon will be 260 and Crystal will be tier 70. as part of next Monday's update jackets is also adding five new tiers of plank as new construction materials being Maple Acadia U magic and Elder planks as it stands these planks will only be usable in Fort foreign reconstruction as otherwise the mods mentioned that the scope of the project would have been far too large so you're not able to use these planks in either the player and house or in construction contracts perhaps they'll be adding this in the future what this means is that you should absolutely be upgrading your photo right now because it's going to be getting a lot more expensive a portion of the buildings in 4 foreign free will be adjusted to be using these new materials so Maple Arcadia you magic and Elder planks which are used to create refined planks which are then used to create new frames and that will be making certain buildings far more expensive for example the tier 3 Town Hall requires 60 magic frames which is the equivalent of 720 magic planks as every frame is 12 planks the tier 3 Command Center requires 80 Elder frames which is the equivalent of 960 Elder planks or 960 Elder logs which is a lot of money please bear in mind that the update will make it far easier to collect other logs but that's still going to be very expensive now what jagex has done to offset this high cost for these buildings is increase the experience by a mega amount for example the tier 3 Tunnel right now gives you 26 880 experience after Monday's update it will give you 208 000 experience which is nearly eight times as high this means that with the tier 3 workshop for that 15 experience buff at the lowest you would be getting nearly 1.5 million construction experience per hour after the update completely AFK and ignoring your perfect build percentage if you were to actually focus on that perfect build percentage you could be getting over 30 percent more experience per hour which is insane now this is assuming they don't change the amount of progress you gain per tick when constructing buildings inside the fort because if they do the experience rate might be a little bit lower in case of the command center we're going from around 37 000 experience to 331 000 experience which is nearly nine times as high and you would be gaining at the lowest 2.1 million construction experience per hour if you have that 15 buff from the tier 3 Workshop add around 30 more experience for that perfect build percentage on top of that 100 percent and you'd be getting over 2.7 million construction experience per hour absolutely nutty it sounds a little bit too powerful but then at the same time it's also very expensive to do this method so we'll have to wait and see if these are the actual rates overall the area looks beautiful and it's exciting to see not only woodcutting getting some love but also part of construction being changed let me know what you think of this update down in the comments below and I'll catch you guys in the next one peace [Music]
