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, 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.
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.
