The Tools

    Hatchet

Using the Lumberjack Skill
        To use the Lumberjack skill, start by equiping a hatchet or axe. After you have your axe ready, walk up to a tree then
    double click your axe or hatchet. A target cursor will appear for you to selecet the tree you want to cut. Pick a tree &
    start  hacking at it. If you are successful, some logs are placed in your backpack. The number of logs harvested is based
    on your skill level. Each log weights 2 stone. You can carry twice as much wood if you use the carpentry skill to
    make the logs into boards. Boards weight 1 stone each.

Lumberjacking used in Combat
        Slinging an axe all day not only increases your physical skills, but it helps teaches you to use it effectively
    in combat as well as on trees. A lumberjack will see an increase in damage when using axe in combat when if you
    have the lumberjack skill. (Halberds, bardiches, and war axes do not apply)

Tips on GM lumberjacking
    This information might be helpful to you sword fighters of Britannia, so read carefully. First thing to do is get a few hatchets.
    and about 500-1000 cloth. Now go to Jhelom dueling pits. When you get there, cut yourself some bandages then go attack
    an npc and keep you and the npc healed. You can use a healing wand or get a friend to heal you both if you can't heal. Fight
    the NPC for a couple of hours and then equip a different hatchet. Continue to do this all the way to gm lumberjacking. If you
    don't have a fighting skill however, (example : mule character ) you can use this method on a friend instead of an NPC in
    Jhelom dueling pits. Just get your friend to equip a weapon other than that of his fighting skill. If your friend wants to walk
    away from the computer or go do something, you can tell him/her to macro something to prevent them from timing out.
