Overview of Blisterwood Logs
Blisterwood logs are a unique type of log in Old School RuneScape (OSRS), primarily acquired from the Blisterwood trees located in the Mort Myre Swamp. These logs are notable for their specific uses in the game, particularly in the creation of potent weaponry and the crafting of items essential for vampire combat.
How to Obtain Blisterwood Logs
To obtain Blisterwood logs, players must chop down Blisterwood trees, which are sometimes found near the southern part of Mort Myre Swamp. The required level to chop these trees is 92 Woodcutting. When chopped, they yield one Blisterwood log each. Additionally, players can also obtain logs while completing certain quests or from other sources, although the primary method remains woodcutting.
