Forestry: Part One Feedback Changes
All players participating in Forestry events will now receive the final XP drop and other rewards.
Forestry items have been added to the collection log! All untradeable items will unlock automatically in your log if you have already purchased them. Otherwise, purchase any of the items directly from the forestry shop to unlock them!
Last week we introduced a number of hotfixes designed to fix crashing issues.
The Forestry Kit can now be obtained for free from the Forestry Shop.
As of today’s update only the Funky-Shaped Log and the Log Basket can be sold back to the Forestry Shop.
Struggling Sapling:
Reduced the overall experience per event by 30%, putting it closer to the XP gained from Rising Roots.
Final XP drop now scales based on how long the player was participating in the event.
The 100% Mulch combination now gives roughly 2x the XP of the 70% Mulch combination.
Leprechaun:
The Leprechaun will now deposit Teak, Mahogany and Arctic Pine Logs.
This event will no longer interrupt activities like Fletching when it spawns.
Rising Roots:
We fixed an issue where this event was spawning even if players chopping did not have a Forestry Kit.
Fixed an issue where some trolls on the Fremennik Isles weren’t dropping Noted Arctic Pine Logs.
The ice trolls in the caves, which only drop Bones, have been renamed Frenzied Ice Trolls to avoid confusion.
Added the Forestry Kit to the Woodcutting Skill Guide.
Updated the messaging displayed when players do not have the required resources to craft Forestry items.

World 388 (AUS) - Forestry
World 398 (DE) - Forestry

Forestry: Part One Feedback Changes
It’s been one week since Forestry: Part One launched, and you know what that means – feedback changes!
As always, our previous newspost has a breakdown of your feedback and what steps we’re taking to address it. For now, though, let’s see this week’s changes!
First up: all players participating in events will now receive the final experience drop and other rewards from completing the event. We’ve also implemented a bunch of hotfixes which should fix the crashing issues some players were experiencing.
Next, some changes to the Forestry Shop. Our newspost editor has been vindicated at last, as the Forestry Kit is now 100% free! We’ve also made adjustments to the items that can be sold back to the shop in exchange for various bits and bobs – to keep things fair, only the Funky-Shaped Log and Log Basket can be returned.
We also heard all of you Collection Loggers out there about wanting one for Forestry! Forestry items have been added and all untradeable items will unlock automatically in your log if you have already purchased them. Otherwise, purchase any of the items directly from the forestry shop to unlock them!
We’ve also made several changes to two of the events.
We fixed an issue where the Rising Roots would spawn even if players did not have a Forestry Kit on them.
The overall XP gained from the Struggling Sapling event has been reduced by 30%, which puts it closer to the XP gained during the Rising Roots event. The exact amount of XP received now scales with the amount of time players participate in the event, and the 100% Mulch combination now gives approximately 2x the XP of its 70% counterpart. Make sure you have the right combo!
The Woodcutting Leprechaun will now take Teak, Mahogany and Arctic Pine Logs to your Bank. We’ve also ensured that his sudden, magical appearance will no longer startle players out of actions like Fletching.
We’re continuing to monitor events to make sure they’re in the best place possible. Whilst we were here, we've added some extra themed worlds!
World 312 (DE) - Group Skilling
World 313 (US West) - Group Skilling
World 388 (AUS) - Forestry
World 398 (DE) - Forestry
World 434 (US) - F2P Forestry
Lastly, some smaller changes:
Fixed an issue where some trolls on the Fremennik Isles weren’t dropping Noted Arctic Pine Logs.
The ice trolls in the caves, which only drop Bones, have been renamed Frenzied Ice Trolls to avoid confusion.
Added the Forestry Kit to the Woodcutting Skill Guide.
Updated the messaging displayed when players do not have the required resources to craft Forestry items.
You can look forward to more feedback changes in next week’s game update. Don’t forget, we hope to begin Community Consultation for Forestry: Part Two very soon!
If you missed the previous Discord Stages call, then don't worry, we've uploaded it onto YouTube for your benefit, so watch Mod Sarnie & Squid discuss your feedback!
