The first step to logging is to find an appropriate area and {{com|WATCH}} {{tt|FOREST}} to determine what trees can be found there.

|-
{{com|WATCH}} {{tt|FOREST}} allows you to see what type of grove, which type of lumber (identifying lumber requires an average of 200 ranks in [[Perception skill|Perception]], [[Outdoorsmanship skill|Outdoorsmanship]], and [[Appraisal skill|Appraisal]]), and how much material is left to be logged in a given room. Successful use of {{tt|WATCH FOREST}} trains [[Appraisal skill]], [[Perception Skill]], and [[Outdoorsmanship]].

{{com|WATCH}} {{tt|FOREST DANGER}} will allow an attempt to make a dangerous situation safer in any single room (see [[#Dangers|Dangers]] below). It is recommended to do this between every {{com|CHOP}} {{tt|TREE}}. Successful use of {{tt|WATCH FOREST DANGER}} trains [[Perception skill]].
|[[RanikMap43|Seordav Telga]]||[[Ker'Leor]] - Gypsy Marauder hunting area over the felled tree||boreal

{{com|WATCH}} {{tt|FOREST CAREFULLY}} will allow an attempt to locate more material. A successful {{tt|WATCH FOREST CAREFULLY}} will increase the number of available resources in the room, but can only be performed once. It is recommended not to do this until you reach "a scattering of resources" when you {{tt|WATCH FOREST}}.

Once you have located suitable area, hold your axe in either hand (other hand must be empty), simply proceed to {{com|CHOP}} {{tt|TREE}}. {{tt|CHOP TREE}} trains [[Outdoorsmanship skill]].

Trees take a number of chops to fall, after which they can produce several pieces of wood on subsequent chops. You can receive various sizes of wood pieces which include:

You can determine the number of pieces in prepared lumber using {{com|COUNT}} {{tt|LUMBER}}.
:''Also: See [[:Category:Groves]].''

===Material Storage===
Once a material is found that is worth keeping, either pick it up by hand, or {{com|push}} it to the side to have a nearby attendant store it for a small fee. If attendants are not available in the logging location, [[deed packet]]s purchased from any crafting society allow deeding of materials by {{com|push}}ing the material with the packet. Note that deed packets will require ten minutes to pass before the material becomes available for use within any crafting society.

Attendants charge 10% of the material's appraised value, while deeds from a packet cost a flat 1 silver lirum per deed. For more valuable materials, it's cheaper to use a packet even if attendants are available.

By far, the cheapest way to store materials after lumberjacking is to stow all the wood harvested from a location, process it, combine it, and deed the entire pile. This means an entire location can be deeded for the price a single silver lirum. The amount of material harvested from an area is dependent on your [[Outdoorsmanship skill]].

===Refining Wood===
Once you have raw material (sticks, branches, limbs, or logs) you can turn it into lumber using the following process:

#With a wood saw in your right hand and your stick/branch/limb/log in your left:
#:{{com|CUT}} {{tt|MY <stick/branch/limb/log> WITH MY SAW}}
#Repeat step 1 two more times.
#Stow your wood saw and get your drawknife.
#:{{com|SCRAPE}} {{tt|MY <stick/branch/limb/log> WITH MY DRAWKNIFE}}
#Repeat step 3 two more times.

You can {{com|COMBINE}} stacks of lumber together and deed the lumber. With a [[deed packet]] in one hand and your lumber in the other {{com|PUSH}} {{tt|MY LUMBER WITH MY PACKET}}.

==Dangers==
The more activity in a given area, the greater the chance of a mishap. The type of dangers is practically dependent upon the stone type of the area.

The dangers have a variety of results, such as either direct damage, outright death, or just destruction of all chop-able materials in the area.

"Mining and Lumberjacking are dangerous. But you can completely avoid the danger 100% of the time if you slow down.
The danger messaging occurs a number of seconds after the danger spawns. If you immediately chop back-to-back, you may miss it and trigger the disaster (or make it worse)."

===Explosion===
* Room Message: You notice an unusual smell drifting through the area.
* WATCH FOREST Message: Studying the forest, you are certain that continued lumberjacking will be slightly dangerous because an unusual smell hints at an explosion danger.
* Fail message: Chopping towards the tree, your hurling axe accidentally collides with nearby stone, setting off a blast that launches debris flying in all directions. The shatterd tree clips your head as it falls, sending the whole world black!
: The world slowly comes into focus again, followed swiftly by a throbbing headache.
:: End up prone with an internal head bleeder/external head cuts & bruises

--- Also ---

* Room Message: Unknown
* WATCH FOREST Message: Studying the forest, you are certain that continued lumberjacking will be slightly dangerous because an unusual smell hints at an explosion danger.
* Fail message: >chop tree
You swing your {axe} towards the tree and and are rewarded with a detonation of sharp wood fragments! Jagged wood lodges into you, leaving bloody gashes and quickly deepening bruises, while the force of the impact knocks you clear off your feet. It would appear you missed some caustic fungus growing around the trunk.
Roundtime: 16 sec.
: Short stun, External and internal bleeders

===Collapse===
* Room Message: A loud cracking sound resonates from somewhere closeby.
* WATCH FOREST Message: Studying the forest, you are certain that continued lumberjacking will be slightly dangerous because the trees look unsound and in danger of collapse.
* Fail message: The trunk suddenly snaps and begins to topple towards you. Your footing gives way as you stumble backwards and right into its path. The loud thud of the tree bouncing against your the ground seems other-wordly loud. The peaceful sound of the forest that replaces it would be comforting, if only you were able to move! Although unharmed, the rolling trunk has you pinned solidly in place.
: The thick tree trunk shifts, further constraining your movement.
: The weight of the trunk pressing in seems to squeeze the air out of your lungs.
: The remaining air seems stale and your labored breathing rasps loudly in your own ears.
: You can feel your vision narrowing.
: Breathing becomes continually more challenging. If someone doesn't help you soon, you may be in serious trouble.
:: And then death...
* note: you are able to talk when pinned, but not yell or do any actions.

===Dangerous Flora & Fauna===
* Room Message: A monotonous buzzing sound fills the air.
* WATCH FOREST Message: Studying the forest, you are certain that continued lumberjacking will be slightly dangerous because odd noises reveal potentially dangerous insects or plants nearby.
* Fail message: Your ''<axe>'' crashes into the wood and punches through with surprisingly little resistance. A blanket of warmness creeps up your legs and interrupts your inspection of the hollow trunk. You suddenly have trouble standing up, and notice flames teasing your kneecaps. A blanket of fire ants marches steadily higher, consuming more of your body with each step. Frantically you paw at them with now-melting hands. Like an inch-worm, you wiggle your torso away from the log. Exhausted, your prop your back up against a log and find yourself unable to breath. The whole interior of your chest sizzles and pops as though atop a bonfire. A pinprick of light is all that remains of the world before it too extinguishes entirely.
: And death...


==Forest Groupings==
==Forest Groupings==
There will be 4 types of forest found, with the following wood types included in each. As per GM [[Kodius]], the materials that can be found are entirely dependent on the climate of the area. So while a wood may be included in a grouping, province & location influence actual availability.
There are 4 types of forest found, with the following wood types included in each. As per GM [[Kodius]], the materials that can be found are entirely dependent on the climate of the area. So while a wood may be included in a grouping, province & terrain influence actual availability. A [[Post:Statistics_-_06/16/2015_-_00:06|post]] was also made by GM [[Kodius]] on wood type rarity. Additionally, rare-spawn wood sticks that are produced during the felling of a common or uncommon forest room can drop independent of the forest type group currently being harvested.

* [[Boreal]] forests tend to be found in the coldest of climates where snowfall can be substantial. Only the heartiest of trees can survive there. Larch and Tamarak are two species of tree found there.
* [[Coniferous]] forests tend to exist nearer areas with warm summer and cold winters. This includes drier inland areas and coastal areas seeing heavy rainfall. Many coniferous trees feature needle-like leaves that provide greater protection from the varied climate.
* [[Deciduous]] forests are often centrally located, between the frigid boreal forests and the sweltering tropics. These forests are distinct due to the trees' leaves exhibiting a renewal cycle in time with the four seasons.
* [[Tropical]] forests that reside in areas of high heat and rainfall. Some of these trees even live partially or completely submerged in water. Often rarer and somewhat exotic, the wood from these trees can be quite beautiful.

The logging or lumberjack system is used to produce wood for engineering and other crafts. Lumberjacking trains Outdoorsmanship skill, Perception skill, and Appraisal skill.

Tools

The following weapons can be used for lumberjacking. The higher the slice of the weapon, the greater chance of roundtime reduction when you CHOP TREE.

  • Axes: Weapons with the noun "axe", "greataxe", or "broadaxe" can be used to fell trees. Crafted weapons with the most slice include the double axe, greataxe, and battle axe.
  • Hatchets: Weapons with the noun "hatchet" will also work to fell trees. This includes the crafted hatchet.

Basics

Survey the Grove

The first step to logging is to find an appropriate area and WATCH FOREST to determine what trees can be found there.

WATCH FOREST allows you to see what type of grove, which type of lumber (identifying lumber requires an average of 200 ranks in Perception, Outdoorsmanship, and Appraisal), and how much material is left to be logged in a given room. Successful use of WATCH FOREST trains Appraisal skill, Perception Skill, and Outdoorsmanship.

WATCH FOREST DANGER will allow an attempt to make a dangerous situation safer in any single room (see Dangers below). It is recommended to do this between every CHOP TREE. Successful use of WATCH FOREST DANGER trains Perception skill.

WATCH FOREST CAREFULLY will allow an attempt to locate more material. A successful WATCH FOREST CAREFULLY will increase the number of available resources in the room, but can only be performed once. It is recommended not to do this until you reach "a scattering of resources" when you WATCH FOREST.

The materials that can be found are entirely dependent on the climate of the area.

Logging

Once you have located suitable area, hold your axe in either hand (other hand must be empty), simply proceed to CHOP TREE. CHOP TREE trains Outdoorsmanship skill.

Trees take a number of chops to fall, after which they can produce several pieces of wood on subsequent chops. You can receive various sizes of wood pieces which include:

Wood sizes

Size Pieces
Stick 1

You can determine the number of pieces in prepared lumber using COUNT LUMBER.

Material Storage

Once a material is found that is worth keeping, either pick it up by hand, or PUSH it to the side to have a nearby attendant store it for a small fee. If attendants are not available in the logging location, deed packets purchased from any crafting society allow deeding of materials by PUSHing the material with the packet. Note that deed packets will require ten minutes to pass before the material becomes available for use within any crafting society.

Attendants charge 10% of the material's appraised value, while deeds from a packet cost a flat 1 silver lirum per deed. For more valuable materials, it's cheaper to use a packet even if attendants are available.

By far, the cheapest way to store materials after lumberjacking is to stow all the wood harvested from a location, process it, combine it, and deed the entire pile. This means an entire location can be deeded for the price a single silver lirum. The amount of material harvested from an area is dependent on your Outdoorsmanship skill.

Refining Wood

Once you have raw material (sticks, branches, limbs, or logs) you can turn it into lumber using the following process:

  1. With a wood saw in your right hand and your stick/branch/limb/log in your left:
    CUT MY <STICK/BRANCH/LIMB/LOG> WITH MY SAW
  2. Repeat step 1 two more times.
  3. Stow your wood saw and get your drawknife.
    SCRAPE MY <STICK/BRANCH/LIMB/LOG> WITH MY DRAWKNIFE
  4. Repeat step 3 two more times.

You can COMBINE stacks of lumber together and deed the lumber. With a deed packet in one hand and your lumber in the other PUSH MY LUMBER WITH MY PACKET.

Dangers

The more activity in a given area, the greater the chance of a mishap. The type of dangers is practically dependent upon the stone type of the area.

The dangers have a variety of results, such as either direct damage, outright death, or just destruction of all chop-able materials in the area.

"Mining and Lumberjacking are dangerous. But you can completely avoid the danger 100% of the time if you slow down.

The danger messaging occurs a number of seconds after the danger spawns. If you immediately chop back-to-back, you may miss it and trigger the disaster (or make it worse)."

Explosion

  • Room Message: You notice an unusual smell drifting through the area.
  • WATCH FOREST Message: Studying the forest, you are certain that continued lumberjacking will be slightly dangerous because an unusual smell hints at an explosion danger.
  • Fail message: Chopping towards the tree, your hurling axe accidentally collides with nearby stone, setting off a blast that launches debris flying in all directions. The shatterd tree clips your head as it falls, sending the whole world black!
The world slowly comes into focus again, followed swiftly by a throbbing headache.
End up prone with an internal head bleeder/external head cuts & bruises

--- Also ---

  • Room Message: Unknown
  • WATCH FOREST Message: Studying the forest, you are certain that continued lumberjacking will be slightly dangerous because an unusual smell hints at an explosion danger.
  • Fail message: >chop tree

You swing your {axe} towards the tree and and are rewarded with a detonation of sharp wood fragments! Jagged wood lodges into you, leaving bloody gashes and quickly deepening bruises, while the force of the impact knocks you clear off your feet. It would appear you missed some caustic fungus growing around the trunk. Roundtime: 16 sec.

Short stun, External and internal bleeders

Collapse

  • Room Message: A loud cracking sound resonates from somewhere closeby.
  • WATCH FOREST Message: Studying the forest, you are certain that continued lumberjacking will be slightly dangerous because the trees look unsound and in danger of collapse.
  • Fail message: The trunk suddenly snaps and begins to topple towards you. Your footing gives way as you stumble backwards and right into its path. The loud thud of the tree bouncing against your the ground seems other-wordly loud. The peaceful sound of the forest that replaces it would be comforting, if only you were able to move! Although unharmed, the rolling trunk has you pinned solidly in place.
The thick tree trunk shifts, further constraining your movement.
The weight of the trunk pressing in seems to squeeze the air out of your lungs.
The remaining air seems stale and your labored breathing rasps loudly in your own ears.
You can feel your vision narrowing.
Breathing becomes continually more challenging. If someone doesn't help you soon, you may be in serious trouble.
And then death...
  • note: you are able to talk when pinned, but not yell or do any actions.

Dangerous Flora & Fauna

  • Room Message: A monotonous buzzing sound fills the air.
  • WATCH FOREST Message: Studying the forest, you are certain that continued lumberjacking will be slightly dangerous because odd noises reveal potentially dangerous insects or plants nearby.
  • Fail message: Your <axe> crashes into the wood and punches through with surprisingly little resistance. A blanket of warmness creeps up your legs and interrupts your inspection of the hollow trunk. You suddenly have trouble standing up, and notice flames teasing your kneecaps. A blanket of fire ants marches steadily higher, consuming more of your body with each step. Frantically you paw at them with now-melting hands. Like an inch-worm, you wiggle your torso away from the log. Exhausted, your prop your back up against a log and find yourself unable to breath. The whole interior of your chest sizzles and pops as though atop a bonfire. A pinprick of light is all that remains of the world before it too extinguishes entirely.
And death...

Forest Groupings

There are 4 types of forest found, with the following wood types included in each. As per GM Kodius, the materials that can be found are entirely dependent on the climate of the area. So while a wood may be included in a grouping, province & terrain influence actual availability. A post was also made by GM Kodius on wood type rarity. Additionally, rare-spawn wood sticks that are produced during the felling of a common or uncommon forest room can drop independent of the forest type group currently being harvested.

  • Boreal forests tend to be found in the coldest of climates where snowfall can be substantial. Only the heartiest of trees can survive there. Larch and Tamarak are two species of tree found there.
  • Coniferous forests tend to exist nearer areas with warm summer and cold winters. This includes drier inland areas and coastal areas seeing heavy rainfall. Many coniferous trees feature needle-like leaves that provide greater protection from the varied climate.
  • Deciduous forests are often centrally located, between the frigid boreal forests and the sweltering tropics. These forests are distinct due to the trees' leaves exhibiting a renewal cycle in time with the four seasons.
  • Tropical forests that reside in areas of high heat and rainfall. Some of these trees even live partially or completely submerged in water. Often rarer and somewhat exotic, the wood from these trees can be quite beautiful.

Use drawknife typo

The log is ready to be carved with a drawknife to scrape off the bark to/and smooth its surface. Sawing it further wouldn't be productive.

Missing a "to" or an "and" or something in this sentence. --MCBRIDEJ (talk) 20:52, 14 May 2015 (CDT)

Cutting wood inside a container.

> cut limb with saw

You begin sawing the ends of the limb, removing the jagged edges from where it was chopped down.

Roundtime: 9 sec.

R> tap my limb

You tap a partially-cut bamboo limb inside your zaulguum-skin backpack.

I can cut up a limb while it is in my backpack. --MCBRIDEJ (talk) 21:52, 14 May 2015 (CDT)
