Beginner Planning Overview
Original illustration for orientation. It is not a game screenshot, measured map or test record. Read the accompanying guide for reported facts, sources and limitations.
Evidence and current applicability
This guide summarizes historical community references. Current stock, route conditions and quest rewards have not been tested by this site. Check your server before committing money or cargo.
Start with equipment you can afford and a short return route. Check the item name and cost in your server before purchase, keep enough money for the return journey, and change one part of your setup at a time so you can compare the result.
Choose an axe within your budget
Historical shop references are Basic Hatchet 12, Plain Axe 90, Steel Axe 190, Hardened Axe 550 and Silver Axe 2,040 Lumberbucks. These are shop references, not resale values or current stock checks. The finder compares supported budget and compatibility records, not exact chopping speed.
Measure processing results
Measure the actual wood before and after processing. Sawmill settings can change output dimensions; comparing rates for equal-sized pieces does not prove a profit multiplier. Record the sale and the full preparation time for your own batch.
- Start with equipment you can afford and a short return route. Check the item name and cost in your server before purchase, keep enough money for the return journey, and change one part of your setup at a time so you can compare the result.
- Test a small load with your own vehicle. Capacity depends on piece dimensions and loading, so enter a capacity measured in the same unit as your total cargo. Check both the outward and return route; no fixed journey time or safe shortcut is promised.
- Record travel, harvesting, loading, processing and sale time together. Subtract the costs actually paid from the sale receipt. Compare net income per minute only for trips you measured; this site does not provide a verified money-per-hour ranking.
Test capacity and the return route
Test a small load with your own vehicle. Capacity depends on piece dimensions and loading, so enter a capacity measured in the same unit as your total cargo. Check both the outward and return route; no fixed journey time or safe shortcut is promised.
Quest and specialist tools
Rukiryaxe acquisition cost remains unknown; the historical quest budget is a separate reference. End Times Axe and Frost Axe have limited or historical acquisition records. A special-purpose tool is not automatically the best choice for every tree, and seasonal availability requires a current check.
