New World: How to quickly reach the maximum level in woodcutting

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.

What types of wood exist in New World? At the moment there are 4 different tree species growing all over Aeternum. However, in order to be able to cut down the rarer trees, your lumberjack level must be high enough. In the following overview, you will find all the details about the different types of wood.

  • Fresh wood – degradable from “young trees”
    • Collectible from Lumberjack level 0
  • Aged Wood – Degradable from “Adult Trees”
    • Collectible from Lumberjack level 50
  • Wyrdwood – Degradable from “wyrdwood” trees
    • Collectible from lumberjack level 100
  • Tropical wood – Degradable from “tropical wood” trees
    • Collectible from Lumberjack level 175

Raise the level faster with the right tools

Are the tools that important? Yes, they are. The higher the quality of your tools, the faster you can cut trees. And the faster you can cut trees, the faster you gain experience per tree. Whenever possible, try to make or buy better tools.

Which lumberjack axes are the best? In this overview you will find the individual axes with their values ​​and when you can unlock them with your character level. We also list the recommended passive benefits.

  • Lumberjack ax – iron
    • Can be used from character level 5 – 1 passive possible.
    • “Lumberjack discipline” – More experience in logging.
  • Lumberjack ax – steel
    • Can be used from character level 17 – 2 passives possible.
    • “Lumberjack discipline” – More experience in logging.

  • Lumberjack ax – star metal
    • Can be used from character level 36 – 3 passives possible.
    • “Lumberjack discipline” – More experience in logging.
    • “Lumberjack Yield” – Logging gains more raw materials.
    • “Azoth Extraction” or “Lumberjack Luck” – The former gives you a chance to get Azoth after collecting, the other an increased chance of rare materials while you are chopping trees.

    • Can be used from character level 52 – 3 passives possible.
    • “Lumberjack Yield” – Logging gains more raw materials.
    • “Azoth Extraction” – Chance of Azoth

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.

I enjoy playing games, and gaming is a passion of mine. Among my favorite games are Tears of the Kingdom, GTA, and Cyberpunk.
