Maple logs
Maple logs are a staple resource in Old School RuneScape, obtained by cutting down maple trees found predominantly in the various forests across Gielinor. These trees are recognizable by their unique bark and vibrant leaves, which turn a striking orange during the autumn season. Requiring a Woodcutting level of 45 to chop, maple logs provide a rewarding experience for players looking to level up their skills. They are not only valued for their use in Firemaking and Fletching but also serve as a popular choice for training due to their relatively quick yield and the ease of access to maple tree locations.
Once obtained, maple logs can be used to create a range of items, including bows and arrows, making them a crucial resource for aspiring rangers. Players can also burn these logs to gain Firemaking experience, producing a warm flame that lasts longer than other types of logs. With their versatile applications, maple logs play an essential role in the crafting and skilling economy of Old School RuneScape, supporting both new and veteran players in their quest for mastery across the game’s diverse activities.
