what is this for? something about cutting trees, but how do you cut trees? and what is the point of cutting trees? Is it good? |

Yeah, it's for cutting trees and (not sure) bridge building. 'U'se a hatchet while standing in a tree to cut it down. Collect a log. 'U'se a hatchet while having a log and knowing Bridge Building to build a bridge section. It's pretty crappy because logs are heavy. |

I think this is one of those use-it-once-in-your-whole-life skills. I've never, ever used it, wands of cold or Frost Bolts work nicely for me. Or just plain old swimming :) For the Horde! |

Woodcraft combined with Fletchery may be a useful skill combination... Farmers that specialize in archery would profit from a high stat in woodcraft somewhat. You drop the golden ball. You kick the golden ball. It slides to the west. Suddenly Harry Potter, the apprentice wizard, appears! "That's not how you play Quidditch! are you even listening?" Which direction? (123456789) 4 Harry Potter, the apprentice wizard, is hit by a bolt of acid! Harry Potter, the apprentice wizard, is annihilated. You hear the ecstatic cries of a large crowd! |

I think it's much easier to just hunt barbarians with 7LB's. For the Horde! |

Mewto, you use it every time you kill an animated tree :D So it's not "use-it-once-in-your-whole-life" ;) A pessimist sees a dark tunnel. An optimist sees a light at the end of that tunnel. A realist sees a train. And the train driver sees three idiots on the tracks. |

wow, didn't know that. I don't usually play chars that start with it, so I didn't notice any skill increases :P For the Horde! |

You don't need Woodcraft to cut down trees - a high skill simply makes it faster. Fletchery can be quite useful though - you can end up with large stacks of arrows with random prefixes/suffixes. Archers get loads of arrows/quarrels from it after a certain level too. Waldenbrook, the dwarven shopkeeper, mumbles: "I'd offer 9 gold pieces for yer dwarven child corpse." |

iirc, woodcraft allows you to move faster than in forest area. it was peretty random influence if my memories about testing is not messed up. A root is a flower that disdains fame. Kahlil Gibran(1883-1931) |

DG: Indeed. My second archmage ended up with some 15000 (IIRC) plain arrows and lots of arrows with prefixes/suffixes. Sytytä toiselle tuli ja hän pysyy lämpimänä jonkin aikaa. Sytytä hänet palamaan ja hän pysyy lämpimänä loppuelämänsä. |

IIRC, you train the woodcraft skill when walking through the woods and the animated forest. I had a character, a dark elven archer, who for the life of her could not find a wand of cold OR a spellbook of icebolt to get across the lake of Chaos Pirahnas guarding the RotHK. Amusingly, I trained up thrown rocks and was able to throw a Huge Rock 6 spaces through the locked door to the ring and dispatched the Undead King. I couldn't think of any trick to get the ring out of that room though. No teleportation on that level? Wouldn't it be cool if you could get items with a boomerang! I started chopping down trees and ferrying the logs inside to try and build across. But with only a skill of 20 in bridge building, and the book incinerated by a lightning lizard, I wasn't able to make a single section. (at lvl 18 of hanging around the caves I finally got a spellbook of ice bolt and grabbed the ring). What level of bridge building do you need to actually succeed on a regular basis?
