Lumberjacking
"I have betimes been accused by ignorant city folk of "cutting down" trees for their wood. Even if such a thing were possible, it would be a disgraceful act. The function of the lumberjack is to harvest the bounty of the wood, not to destroy it. I gather useable wood from living trees (taking care always to do no harm)."

Lumberjacking
You must have a hatchet or axe equipped. Use the axe, then click on a tree. If successful, you will get 10 logs.
Chopping a tree will give you one of the following messages:
- "You hack at the tree for awhile, but fail to produce any usable wood" – You failed your skill check, but can try again on the same tree.
- "You put some logs into your backpack" – You have chopped 10 logs from the tree. You can continue trying to get wood from the same tree until you get the next listed message.
- "You put some logs at your feet" – You have chopped 10 logs from the tree, but you're overloaded. You can continue trying to get wood from the same tree until you get the next listed message.
- "There is not enough wood here to harvest" – Move on to another tree. Trees regenerate in around 20 to 30 minutes.
Wood is required by both people using Bowcraft and Fletching and Carpentry in order to craft items.
