Miscellaneous Forestry Suggestions
Use RuneLite
I can’t state sufficient simply how a lot RuneLite improves the OSRS expertise. Forestry is a social occasion, however in some ways, extra gamers imply extra trouble. There are a lot of Dwarf multicannon trolls within the three Forestry-dedicated worlds who will set down their cannons to make it more durable to identify Forestry occasions.
And even when there aren’t, large quantities of gamers, pets, random occasions, and loot/log piles make it troublesome to take part in Forestry occasions successfully. RuneLite mitigates the vast majority of these points.
Use the Random Occasion and Entity Hider plugins to cover different gamers, their pets, and their random occasions out of your display screen. You possibly can’t do something about cannons, Unusual Plant random occasions, or loot piles, however you will see Forestry rather more satisfying with out the uh, extreme “social” components.
DON’T Use Leprechaun charms
As talked about earlier, Leprechaun occasions give no Anima-Infused Bark. Woodcutting’s days as a brilliant worthwhile cash maker are lengthy gone, so the Leprechaun’s banking utility isn’t very helpful.
The less Leprechaun occasions you get, the higher your possibilities of spawning occasions that truly give Anima-Infused Bark.
Do NOT Purchase the Lumberjack Outfit From the Forestry Store
Temple Trekking is much from the preferred minigame, however use a information, and it’s straightforward to do. Anima-Infused Bark is a gradual grind, and there are a lot better objects to buy from the Forestry Store than the Lumberjack Outfit.
Save Some Sources for Half Two
That is solely Half One of many Forestry occasion, so I like to recommend stocking up on Anima-Infused Bark and the varied leaves so that you’ll be prepared for the Half 2 replace, which can introduce much more rewards. We do not know how a lot these new rewards will value, so it’s finest to be ready.
Half Two Coming in September
Half Two of the Forestry Replace will go reside someday in September. Among the many issues included in Half Two are two-handed axes, Tea Brewing, Campfires and Bonfires (One thing RS3 gamers know effectively), new occasions, and stability adjustments. Keep tuned!
