Soo... I was just starting lumberjacking for the evening. I got a system message that I dislodged a giant serpent from the tree.. and it started attacking me. When I killed it, it had 50 logs on it. Just normal logs. I wonder if it'll drop better quality sometimes? Also... why? lol Maybe to make ti more challenging or to deter afk macroers? Pretty cool regardless.

That is funny. It may be a little joke from the developers assuming the new wood will entice people to AFK gather while the wood is still new.

Leave them as logs. They way less and will show up in your carp and fletching menus.

Alright, I am reasobably confident that due to my own and others recent excessive farming and somewhat rapid acquisition of vanq and power quality bows that admins have made some tweaks. After crafting a bit last night I noticed that when you successfully craft an item with the magical bonuses, the weapon is now UNIDENTIFIED. Not a big issue, but an interesting change. Also, after crafting roughly 50 bows using frostwood, bloodwood, and heartwood, I yielded only about 5 magic items and 2 slayers. Im almost certain that the success chance on crafting with the bonuses has been decreased. To be honest I was anticipating this type of change, but until I know how much it was altered I am unsure of how I feel. I certainly think a minor decrease was in order.

Have you noticed any decrease in the amount of new wood when out harvesting? I wasn't collecting very long today, but it seems like I was getting a lot more ordinary logs.

Yeah i did feel as though I wasnt collecting as much of the rare woods, but i wasn't certain whether it was due to bad luck or not.

I farmed for about 1 hour last night. Out of about 6000 total logs, I got 750 oak, but the rest were pretty slim pickings. Definitely lower than I expected based on previous day's experiences.

Maybe they can make some more "tweaks" and fix LJ so you can actually gain skill past 100 without a skill scroll.

I've heard it's not possible through combat after 100. Is it possible by you know... lumberjacking...?

As of about 5 days ago, I spent about 4 hours chopping trees without a single tick above 100. Had skill space, was well fed, etc. Gave up and bought the skill scrolls.

At 115 Lumberjacking the only wood it appears I cannot gather is frostwood. However, when I dislodged a serpent while chopping, it had 9 frostwood logs on its corpse instead of 50 ordinary logs. That's the first time I've gotten anything but ordinary logs off of these serpents.


Edit...just killed another serpent with frostwood, that's 2 for 2 today.

Pretty sure they drop between 1 and 10 frostwood logs 100% of the time. Definitely enjoying that. Also, I think drop rates for higher quality woods have slightly increased since they last reduced their rate.

I was pretty sure that another poster had gotten all kinds at 115, but I may be mistaken.

i can confirm this, i've burned through 400 of each type. frost/blood/heart do not yield magic properties or slayers very often. Once you cross the yew thresholds, you get more bang for your buck so to speak.
