Woodcutter

A spruce cube

**Woodcutter** is one of the seven available jobs on Vulengate. It focuses around chopping logs and cutting leaves.

It is a popular job for early game players due to the demand for wood as a building material, though lacks many methods of easily making income in the late game.

Players who reach level 200 in the Woodcutter job are given a commemorative [Woodcutter] Tag for the accomplishment.

## Job Info

*All job information is shown at level 1. The increase of income and experience is by 0.1% of its value every level.*

## Getting Started

### Essentials

An Efficiency 6 netherite axe with a Haste II beacon or Haste II Custom Enchant book applied to it is the most important tool for grinding the Woodcutter job. This allows for instant mining of all log types. Having a Woodcutting mcMMO level of 15 or above is also recommended to unlock the Leaf Blower skill, which instantly destroys leaves upon being hit.

With any Woodcutter set-up, a good source of bones for bonemeal and tree saplings (ideally spruce) is a requirement.

## Strategies

### Spruce Cubes

The most common method of grinding Woodcutter job is by creating "spruce cubes". By planting 2x2 squares of spruce saplings next to eachother players can grow large spruce trees side to side, eventually forming a massive cube. Once the leaves of the top layer are cleared, the wood can be chopped in layered sections during an income or exp boost.

### Stripped Wood

Alternatively, the higher paying logs such as oak and birch can be converted into their stripped counterparts and manually placed into cubes. These man-made stripped wood cubes can then be mined during an income or exp boost for significantly increased benefits.

### Removed Treefeller Method

All throughout Woodcutters time as a job there has existed an occasional bug with the Tree Feller mcMMO ability that enables players to get 100% of the income and experience while using it. In the times this bug is discovered to be broken again, and by the time it spreads to enough of the player-base, Woodcutter very briefly becomes a top tier job capable of making millions in hours. The increase in players grinding with this method however also creates an extreme amount of lag on the servers, and is usually fixed shortly by disabling the Tree Feller mcMMO ability before re-enabling it with incomes and experience fixed.
