'''Brambles''' are a type of [[tree]], often serving as an obstacle, that can be chopped away with the [[Woodcutter]] profession. Starting at level 8 you can chop [[Hardy Brambles]] with a [[hatchet]]. Harvesting Brambles does not provide the [[player character]] an [[item]].

==Strategy==
Any of the 3 locations for Brambles may be used for the same results. There are 8 Brambles nodes in very close proximity, it takes 3.5 seconds to chop each of them, and they respawn on a 45 second timer, so there is a short amount of downtime between cycles. One full cycle takes 48.5 seconds to chop all nodes, which is 594 brambles chopped per hour. 

There is approximately 17 seconds of downtime per cycle, which can be used to chop other nearby Woodcutter nodes. 

The [[Cliffside Shortcut]] has a [[Pine Tree]], however it is up some elevation that is slow to traverse. Instead, one Pine Tree in the neighbouring [[Cliffside Junction]] may be felled between bramble cycles without incurring a delay. The pine logs may be dropped, to avoid spending time to deposit them. This results in 80 Pine trees may be felled per hour, in addition to the brambles.

Instead, the pine logs may be taken to the [[Storage Rift]] in the nearby [[Huntsman's Path]]. However there are agressive [[Wendigo]]s along the route, so [[Fear]] potions are required to avoid being delayed. It takes approximately 45 seconds to deposit pine logs at this storage rift, which must be performed every 23 pine trees felled, which reduces the progress to 571 brambles chopped and 71 pine trees felled per hour.

The [[Shortcut]] and [[Bramble Path]] each have a [[Suave Tree]] that may be felled for some additional experience, however Suave trees require a higher woodcutter level than brambles, so this method would require chopping a lower tier of suave tree, compared to chopping Pine trees at the Cliffside Shortcut.
