Strategy

Ash Tree Strategy. Red is the path between trees. Black is the path to deposit in the storage rift.

The most efficient place to fell Ash Trees is in Timberwell Road, where there are 6 trees close to each other, and a storage rift.

The 6 trees shown in the picture are close enough together that all 5 may be chopped in sequence before they respawn. This path is marked in red, and a cycle takes 49 seconds, for 8.16 seconds per tree or 440 logs per hour.

After every 24 logs chopped, the player's inventory will be full, and the logs must be dropped, sold, or banked.

Discarding the logs by dropping them on the ground is the fastest option, and can be done with practically no time loss. This maintains 440 logs per hour, at the cost of giving no items or coins.

Depositing the logs into the storage rift in the nearby Huntsman's Path is the second fastest option, taking 20 seconds to travel along the black path to the bank, deposit the logs, and return to the next tree in the cycle. Depositing every inventory of 24 logs reduces the trees felled per hour to 400, but provides logs in the most convenient location to use them for training Carpentry, saving money from buying those logs in the future from Gwen. Players without access to the storage rift run south through Timberwell Green to the Carpenter's Workshop to use the Lumber Bank, however unlocking the rifts should be a priority for anyone intending to chop a considerable number of Ash Trees.

Selling the ash logs is the slowest option, taking 30 seconds to travel south through Timberwell Green to Gwen's Lumber, sell the logs, and return. Selling every inventory of 24 logs reduces the trees felled per hour to 382, a small loss, but it does earn coins directly.
