Logging

Logging supplies logs, Resin and Heartwood. Use a Wood-Axe on trees outside settlements. Wood is used in Building, toolmaking and guild construction.

Profession	Wood products used	Products made
Carpentry	Planks	Staves, bows, arrows, furniture and beds
Smithing	Charcoal and planks	Steel, tools and fittings
Jewelcrafting	2 Ironwood or Ghostwood Planks	Wand
Building	40 Oak Planks, plus Iron Ingots and Bear Hides	Ram Kit

A log normally produces two planks. Wood type determines a bow or staff’s material equivalent, so Logging pairs well with Building.

Making money

Best starting route: deliver suitable raw-log Court writs, then sell logs or planks against actual orders. Best volume perk: Timberwright at Logging 100 gives three planks per log. Charcoal Burner is the alternative when confirmed Charcoal demand pays better.

Rank	Route	Useful numbers	What to check
0	Raw logs and Court writs	A posted 50-Pine writ pays 60 silver	Keep logs unsawn until you have checked Work
10	Oak supply	A posted 40-Oak writ pays 96 silver	Bows, furniture and Ram Kits compete for the same Oak
70	Ironwood and Ghostwood	A posted 20-log tier-6 writ pays 336 silver	Ironwood is in Rainforest; Ghostwood in Haunted Woodlands, on witnessed ground
100	Refine for confirmed buyers	100 logs make 300 planks with Timberwright, or 200 Charcoal with Charcoal Burner	A normal saw makes 200 planks; a normal burn 100 Charcoal; each batch costs 50 gold at a shop

Use dense woods to reduce walking. The Jungle of Bantha has 48 trees per map square, four times ordinary Woodlands or Rainforest density. On unwitnessed jungle all are Pine. Witnessed Rainforest supplies higher woods; Haunted Woodlands is the Ghostwood choice. The rare-wood roll is about 1 tree in 20, so density is useful without guaranteeing a rare tree.

Material	Chance	Requirement
Heartwood	2% per Clean Cut; 4% with Forester	Witnessed ground
Resin	25% per tree	—

Clean Cuts reduce swings without adding ordinary logs. Sell Heartwood separately or use it for a customer who values its quality bonus. Neither by-product is guaranteed on each tree.

Condition	Output per log
Saw normally	2 planks
Saw with Timberwright	3 planks

Compare those outputs’ net sale value with the log’s net price. Charcoal yield does not improve with wood tier, so use inexpensive suitable logs.

Material	Price per item (silver)
Pine Plank	2
Charcoal	2
Oak Plank	4

Player-made stock competes with these prices. Processing does not guarantee a higher return.

For a gold-focused partnership, Ghostwood can become Building's Long Bows at rank 70. For silver, keep enough logs for the better posted writ or player order instead of converting the whole bag. Use Market fees, and include tool replacement and the time needed to carry a full load.
