Woodchopping

Chopping wood is a daily activity available in towns that contain a forest, and yields wood bushels.

A Forest looks like this:

There are various types of trees, the different colored circles helping distinguish each type-

• Firs are in shape of cone and have a blue-grey circle
• Birch are small and have an auburn circle
• Beech are taller and have a dark green circle
• Oak have large trunk and a light green circle (you cannot distinguish circle border)

A minimum strength is required to chop different tree types-

• 0 SP for a fir
• 5 SP for a birch
• 10 SP for a Beech
• 15 SP for an oak

Intelligence affects the numbers of trees you can attempt to chop-

• 1-9 INT : 1 try
• 10-19 INT : 2 tries
• 20 + INT : 3 tries

3 is the maximum number of tries no matter how high your intelligence may be.

The trees yield different numbers of Wood bushels depending on type.

• Fir: between 2 and 4 woods
• Birch: between 3 and 4 woods
• Beech: between 4 and 5 woods
• Oak: between 4 and 6 woods

To chop wood, there are now 2 ways: 1st, you will need an axe from the Town Hall. There is a maximum of 20 axes available each day. and the number left is displayed on the forest screen. 2nd, you can now equip axes yourself, but try and remember that town hall gets a piece of wood per chopping and you still get the exact same amount of wood, so its better to borrow from the town hall.

To borrow an axe will charge you one wood bushel for payment (this number has already been subtracted from the above yields). This is automatic, and as of yet, there has been no way found to use your own axe to chop. You must borrow one from the Town Hall.

Statistics

To have the best results of your tries, it's a good idea to use Forestia to consult/gather statistics about wood cutting. For example, let's say you can yield between 2 and 4 woods and you see that some spots are already marked as yielding only 2, well you'll have more chance to end up with 3 or 4 woods on the other spots.
