{{Map|type=Entity|target=Yew Tree}}
A '''Yew Tree''' is a species of [[Skill node|tree]] located in Hopeforest. Felling one requires a [[Two Person Saw]], which yields a [[Yew Log]]. The quality of the log depends on the player's [[Woodcutter]] level, starting with [[Coarse Yew Log|Coarse Yew Logscoarse]] at level 16. [[Yew Branches]] of various tiers can also be [[Passive activities|passively]] lopped using [[Tree Loppers]] from level 38, requiring a minimum of 5five [[knowledge]] points.
Yew trees take seven seconds to fell solo, or six seconds in co-op mode if two woodcutters work together. Workingin withco-op anothermode, woodcutterwhich will also grant a slight boost in experience obtained per log. Once felled, yew trees will respawn after 45 seconds.

==Strategy==
[[File:Yew Tree (strategy).png|thumb|400px|Yew Tree Strategy, Red is the path between trees, Black is the path to deposit to the storage rift.]]
The most efficient place to fell Yewyew Treestrees is in the vicinity of the [[Narrow Path]], where there are 4 trees close to each other, and a storage rift. Yew trees chop slower than other typesspecies of tree, so only 4 can realistically be chopped before they respawn.
The 4 trees shown in the picture, forming the red path, are close enough together that all 4 may be chopped in sequence just as they respawn. This path is marked in red, and aOne cycle takes takes 53 seconds, for 13.25 seconds per tree or 271 logs per hour. AfterOne every 24 logs chopped the playersfull inventory willtakes be6 fullcycles, andafter which the logs must be dropped, sold, or banked.
DiscardingDropping the logs by dropping them on the floor is the fastest option,strategy and can be done with practically no time loss., This maintainsmaintaining 271 logs per hour, at the cost of giving no items or coins.
Depositing the Yew logs in the [[StorageTangled RiftPath]] in the nearby [[TangledStorage PathRift]] is the second fastest optionstrategy. Travelling to and from the storage rift takes 21 seconds and must be performed after every 6 cycles, resulting in a total valuerate of 255 logs per hour. This providesdeposits the logs into 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 Yew logs to [[Gwen's Lumber (shop)|Gwen]] as you chop them is not recommended, as isher shop is a considerable distance toaway. [[Gwen's Lumber (shop)|the shop]] where they may be soldHowever, however after banking it is possible to make trips between the lumber bank and theGwen's shop to sell the logs after banking. Players without access to the [[Storage Rift]] may teleport to the [[Hopeforest Central Portal Stone]] and run to either the 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 Yewyew Treestrees.
===ComparisonsCo-op===
Yew trees may be felled in co-op, which provides slightly more XP per log than when felling solo, and saves around 1one second per tree. However, players must stand on opposite sides of the tree to perfom the co-op action, which takes additional time to set up. Therefore the path to follow for co-op yew trees is the same as for solo. ▼{| class="wikitable"
