| 0s | It's time to sharpen your axes and don your best flannel. |
|---|---|
| 4s | We're adding a new string to your bow with the 110 Woodcutting |
| 7s | and Fletching update. I'm Mod Stu. |
| 10s | I'm Mod Mickey, and I'm Mod Breezy. |
| 13s | And today, we're talking about our latest 110 update |
| 16s | with Woodcutting and Fletching. |
| 21s | Some time ago, |
| 22s | An Illujankan traveler brought precious seeds from Iaia's big trees |
| 26s | to Gielinor. She was able to hybridize them with Gielinor's fabled |
| 30s | Magic trees to create Eternal Magic trees. |
| 33s | These trees are so powerful that they magically change |
| 35s | the landscape, encouraging everything to grow alongside them. |
| 38s | This mystical clearing is where you'll train Woodcutting to 110, |
| 43s | so you'll have plenty of time to soak in the magic. |
| 47s | Woodcutting and Fletching are natural companion skills. |
| 49s | You chop the logs, then fletch them into useful tools and powerful weapons. |
| 53s | Similar to other 110 |
| 55s | skills, this update brings a new resource to use in your adventures. |
| 58s | If you watched the Mining and Smithing Dev Diary, you'll remember that |
| 61s | our goal over the next few years is to bump up more skills to level 110. |
| 66s | These updates let us introduce fresh and exciting ways |
| 69s | to use your skills beyond level 99. |
| 73s | Woodcutting and Fletching are no different, |
| 75s | and you can expect 11 levels of new stuff to do. At level |
| 79s | 100 Woodcutting, you'll be able to chop Eternal Magic trees, |
| 82s | and from level 100 Fletching, you'll be able to start |
| 85s | whittling these logs into powerful new shortbows and crossbows. |
| 88s | You'll also be able to use |
| 89s | these Eternal Magic logs for new Tier 100 Primal Bows and arrows. |
| 93s | And of course, chopping Eternal Magic trees will give you loads |
| 97s | more experience to help you on your way to 110. |
| 101s | But that's not all, |
| 101s | of course. This update also brings a fresh approach |
| 105s | to training Woodcutting and Fletching from 100 to 110, |
| 109s | as well as new rewards for you to unlock, craft and use. |
| 113s | Eternal Magic trees and weaponry |
| 115s | come with a few changes and additions to improve and spice up the skilling flow. |
| 119s | While cutting Eternal Magic trees, |
| 121s | you'll find that you no longer have a random chance to fell the tree. |
| 124s | Instead, each tree has a timer until it's cut down, |
| 127s | giving you a more consistent Woodcutting experience. |
| 130s | Alongside the timer, |
| 131s | you'll spot a new call to action mechanic like time sprites and rockertunities. |
| 135s | Every so often while chopping, |
| 137s | you'll see a flurry of leaves appear on another side of the tree. |
| 141s | Move over to the side of the tree and start chopping again, |
| 144s | and you'll find yourself under the effects of a new buff, |
| 146s | giving you a variety of bonuses, including more XP |
| 149s | and an increased chance to find bird's nests. |
| 151s | That's not all for Woodcutting, however. |
| 153s | Eternal Magic trees also come with a new critical strike mechanic. |
| 157s | New tradable consumables, |
| 159s | and a new enchanted bird's nest filled with juicy rewards. |
| 163s | On the Fletching side of things, we wanted to stray away from making you fletch |
| 166s | countless weapons over and over again. |
| 169s | This time round, the armies of Gielinor have enlisted your help |
| 172s | in supplying them with war-ready weaponry. |
| 174s | Using new Fletching workbenches found around the game world, |
| 178s | you'll create your base weapons and then refine them into |
| 181s | more powerful variants in a similar fashion to Smithing. |
| 184s | From here, |
| 185s | you have the option to use the weapon for yourself or prepare it |
| 188s | for military use, sacrificing it for a huge chunk of experience. |
| 192s | this process results in a smoother experience to gain Fletching XP |
| 196s | without needing to constantly worry about bow strings and crossbow limbs. |
| 199s | That's not all. We've also made some quality of life |
| 202s | improvements to creating primal ammunition. |
| 204s | Instead of making 50 primal bolt tips from a primal bar, |
| 207s | you'll make 75 matching arrowhead quantities. |
| 211s | As well as this: primal arrows and bolts will be made in the exact same way. |
| 217s | Once you have your headless Eternal Magic shafts, simply choose |
| 220s | whether it's arrowheads or more tips that you want to attach to them. |
| 223s | And finally, we've also made consistent the number of actions |
| 226s | and quantity of primal arrows and bolts you make per action, |
| 230s | rather than 15 and 10, respectively. |
| 233s | First of all, once you reach level 100 Fletching, |
| 235s | you'll be able to create the new Eternal Magic Shortbow. |
| 238s | Then from level 103, you'll be able to fetch the new Primal Crossbow |
| 242s | using your hard-earned Eternal Magic Logs. |
| 244s | All of these new weapons will of course, require level 99 Ranged to wield. |
| 248s | You'll also use Primal metal from the 110 Mining and Smithing |
| 251s | update to craft crossbow limbs, arrowheads, and bolt tips, |
| 255s | including a level 100 Primal Hatchet ideal |
| 258s | for chopping away at the Eternal Magic Tree. At Fletching 110, |
| 262s | you'll also be able to create the new Tier 100 Masterwork Bow. |
| 265s | Like the Pickax of Earth and Song, you'll also be able to combine the level |
| 270s | 70 Crystal Hatchet and level 80 Imcando Hatchet into a level 90 Augmentable |
| 275s | Hatchet - the Hatchet of Earth and Song! So, they don't actually like that name. |
| 281s | Oh! No problem, we can change it. |
| 282s | This requires While Guthix Sleeps, Birthright of the Dwarves, and Plague's End. |
| 288s | With the help of your old friend Ramarno in Camdozaal, |
| 291s | you'll also be able to upgrade the Hatchet of Earth and Song into a new level 100 |
| 295s | Hatchet of Life and Death, |
| 296s | in a complicated process similar to the Pickaxe of Life and Death. |
| 300s | Yeah, so they don't like that name either... |
| 302s | Okay. We'll change that one as well. |
| 303s | That's not all, though. As highly requested by the community, |
| 306s | We've also filled the gaps in smithable hatchets. |
| 309s | You'll be able to smith level 60 Orichalcum to level 90 Elder Rune Hatchets |
| 313s | and withdraw them from your Toolbelt in a similar fashion to pickaxes. |
| 316s | There are other uses for Eternal Magic logs too. |
| 318s | For example, |
| 319s | you'll be able to burn them to train your Firemaking skill, |
| 322s | or build a handy Wood Box to store all your logs. |
| 325s | While bringing Woodcutting and Fletching up to level 110, |
| 329s | We've applied plenty of learnings from the Mining |
| 331s | and Smithing 110 update earlier this year. |
| 334s | We'd like to thank |
| 335s | everyone who let us know what they did - and didn't - like about this update. |
| 340s | Your feedback has helped Woodcutting and Fletching 110 grow into the update |
| 344s | we think you'll really enjoy. |
| 345s | And don't forget, |
| 346s | the best place to tell us your thoughts is the official RuneScape discord. |
| 350s | There are loads of discussions going on about Woodcutting, Fletching, |
| 353s | and all our other skill updates. So go on, check it out! |
| 356s | We can't wait to hear what you think of this new skilling update, and we look |
| 361s | forward to seeing you exploring the forests of Gielinor once more. |
| 365s | Go on now. Chop chop! |
