[[File:Brambles (strategy).png|thumb|x200px|Brambles Strategy at the Cliffside Shortcut, Red are the Brambles nodes, Blue is the path to the best nearby Pine tree, Black is the path to deposit to the bank.]]
AnyIf only cutting Brambles, any of the 3 locations for Brambles may be used for mostly 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. When accounting for the time to walk between brambles nodes, there are approximately 12 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 only a 2 second delay. The pine logs may be discarded by dropping, to avoid spending time to deposit them. This results in 8070.5 Pine trees may be felled per hour, in addition to the565 brambles.
InsteadIf storing the logs is preferred over dropping, 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 (one inventory space is neede for the [[Fear]] potions due to aggressive [[Wendigo]]s on the route). whichStoring the logs reduces the progress to 571544 brambles chopped and 7168 pine trees felled per hour.
The [[Shortcut]] and [[Bramble Path]] each havehas a [[Suave Tree]] right next 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 variant of suave tree, compared to chopping Pine trees at the Cliffside Shortcut. Once a player is at a high enough level to chop the same tier of Suave tree, then chopping just suave tress is significantly more XP than chopping brambles.
