Strategy[edit | edit source]

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

The most efficient place to fell Hickory Trees is in the vicinity of the Secluded Junction, 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 6 may be chopped in sequence before they respawn. This path is marked in red, and a cycle takes 54 seconds, for 9 seconds per tree or 400 logs per hour.

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

Discarding the logs by dropping them on the floor is the fastest option, and can be done with practically no time loss. This maintains 400 logs per hour, at the cost of giving no items or coins.

Depositing the hickory logs in the storage rift in the nearby Tangled Path is the second fastest option. Travelling to and from the storage rift takes 24 seconds and must be performed after ever 4 cycles, resulting in a total value of 360 logs per hour. This stores logs in the Lumber Bank, the most convenient location to use them for training Carpentry, saving money from buying those logs in the future from Gwen.

Selling the hickory logs as you chop them is not recommended, as it is a considerable distance to the shop where they may be sold, however after banking it is possible to make trips between the lumber bank and the shop to sell the logs. Players without access to the storage rift may teleport to Hopeforest Central Portal Stone and run to either the shop or the bank as they choose, however unlocking the rifts should be a priority for anyone intending to chop a considerable number of Hickory Trees.
