LUMBERJACKING

"Strong arms, sharp axe - the forest provides"

Skill Overview

Lumberjacking harvests wood from trees for carpentry and bowcraft. Beyond resource gathering, it provides significant damage bonuses when fighting with axes - making the "axer" build popular in PvP. Master lumberjacks access special wood types and can harvest in dangerous areas for better rewards.

Training Path

Any tree works - gains from chopping, not wood type

💡 Pro Tip: Use pack horses - wood is heavy!
