Crafting is very important in New World. Wood is very important here as the material is used in a lot of recipes. We tell you in this article how you can quickly level your logging skills in order to get the necessary raw materials.

Why is wood so important? This resource is used almost everywhere in the game. Regardless of whether you want to forge weapons and make furniture at the workbench or take on missions at the city table: wood, or the more refined versions, are often in demand.

Use this method to quickly level up Woodcutting

Increasing the woodcutting level is divided into different level zones.

• From level 1 – 50:
  • Equip your axe and start chopping “Young Trees”.
  • In all starting areas, there are trees just outside the gates of the settlement.
  • If you are overloaded, run back and throw the wood into your camp or if you are in a particular hurry to level, just throw it on the ground and keep chopping.
• From level 50 – 100:
  • Here you have to cut down as many “Mature Trees” as possible.
  • These give far more experience than “young trees”.
  • And here, too, the best places are right at the gates of the settlements. The denser the forest, the more “Mature Trees” you will find.
• From level 100 – 175:
  • Now you can chop “Wyrmwood” trees, they light up light blue and give you a lot of experience.
  • As well as the trees, you can now also kill dryad wolves to mine wood. You can recognize the wolves by the light green cloud of poison that surrounds them.
  • We recommend that you mainly farm the dryad wolves, as they give you a lot of experience and are much faster to mine than the “wyrmwood” trees.
• From level 175 – 200
  • Now you can mine everything and don’t really need to bother maximizing your woodcutting.
  • However, if you still want to go to 200, it is best to collect “tropical wood”.
  • Or keep chopping dryad wolves, as they are just as effective in terms of experience.

Further advantages that make leveling easier for you

Extra constitution brings bonuses: The more points you have sunk in the constitution in the attribute window, the more advantages you get when you cut trees.

• 50 points or more = + 10% more logging speed
• 200 points or more = another + 10% more speed when logging
• 250 points or more = 10% more income from logging
• 300 points or more = 25% chance of cutting down a tree in one fell swoop

Area call also plays a role. With the area call card “Collect” you can fell trees even faster and that in turn means you gain experience more quickly. If you mainly chop wood in an area, you can use this buff.
