RuneScape’s Fort Forinthry Season Continues with The Idyllic Woodcutters' Grove

Exactly how much wood could a woodcut cut?

Monday, 19 June 2023, Cambridge, UK – RuneScape’s Fort Forinthry season receives a brand new update in Woodcutters' Grove, launching today. This arboreal addition to the Fort Forinthry storyline introduces a brand new training area for woodcutting, a new best-in-slot hatchet, and a shedload of new woodcutting perks to enhance RuneScape’s most relaxing skill.

 

Once the Woodcutters' Grove is built, it becomes a one-stop-shop for all woodcutting needs including a trove of diverse trees for pro woodcutters and budding arborists alike. Notably this content will unlock the most convenient Elder Tree location in the game making the journey from level 1-99 a much less daunting task to take on.
 

This update allows gives players a chance to unlock the best-in-class Tier 80 Imcando Hatchet. By collecting four fragments of this legendary woodcutting tools throughout their woodcutting ventures, players can combine them with the Dragon Hatchet to make this powerful new skilling item.
 

Woodcutting is one of RuneScape’s most iconic skills. Not to be underestimated, it gives players access to vital resources required to build everything from deadly arrows to mighty forts. Woodcutting is also a lot of players’ first skill that they fully invest in so there is a nostalgic appeal to the humble Woodcutters' Grove.
 

Other additions to RuneScape from Woodcutters' Grove include general improvements to the woodcutting and fletching skills, upgradable wood boxes for storing logs, and the introduction of Wood Spirits which provide an additional log to each successfully felled tree.
