Jagex’s Old School RuneScape team released a ton of ambitious plans for the game in 2023. Some of these plans include new quests, a brand new skill, and revamps to existing skills. One such revamp is Forestry: Way of the Forester, an expansion which significantly reorganizes the Woodcutting skill. While Jagex gave a basic overview of the Woodcutting update at the 2022 Winter Summit, Jagex recently released more Old School RuneScape Forestry details.
Of course, a brand new quest serves as an introduction to Forestry. This quest showcases the expansions’ mechanics to players, just like previous skill expansion quests Temple of the Eye and Sleeping Giants. While it’s not yet in the game, you can start the quest by reading a leafy note. The note drops from a tree during your next Woodcutting session once it’s in the game. Completing the quest grants a Forestry Kit, an imperative item for participating in Forestry activities.
Jagex emphasized it wants to make Woodcutting a more social activity with this update. Currently, the optimal way to Woodcut requires players to chop trees alone and compete for resources. To reduce this competition and encourage more group play, Jagex plans the following changes to trees currently in the game:
Of course, these changes will be polled to the community, and Jagex is planning to offer an alternative. If players reject these changes, Jagex is proposing Mighty tree variants. Mighty trees work similarly to Superior Slayer monsters, offering more resources, longer despawn timers, and better chances for special events.
