Offering a 2.5% experience boost when the full set is worn, it can save you hundreds of thousands of XP on your journey to level 99. This guide walks you through the fastest and most efficient ways to obtain the Lumberjack outfit, whether you’re braving the Temple Trekking minigame or purchasing it from the Forestry Shop.

The Lumberjack outfit isn’t just about looking like a rugged woodsman—it’s a game-changer for Woodcutting training.

This stacks with other boosts like the Kandarin Diary’s 10% XP bonus when chopping maples, making it a valuable asset for skillers and completionists alike.

Benefits of the Lumberjack Outfit

• XP Boost: 0.2–0.8% per piece, plus 0.5% for the full set, totaling 2.5%.
• Stackable Bonuses: Combines with other XP modifiers, like felling axes or Forestry rations.
• Storage: Can be stored in your player-owned house’s costume room or Forestry kit.
• Master Clue Requirement: Needed for a Sherlock clue involving redwood logs.

Who Should Get It?

Whether you’re a main account grinding Woodcutting, an ironman aiming for self-sufficiency, or a clue hunter tackling master scrolls, the Lumberjack outfit is worth the effort. It’s especially useful for players planning to hit high Woodcutting levels or those who want to optimize every bit of XP.

Requirements for Obtaining the Lumberjack Outfit

Before you start, you’ll need to meet some prerequisites. These vary depending on whether you’re going for the Temple Trekking method or the Forestry Shop route.

Temple Trekking Requirements

• Quests: Complete In Aid of the Myreque and Darkness of Hallowvale to unlock Burgh de Rott and Temple Trekking.
• Woodcutting Level: 44 (not boostable) to equip the outfit.
• Combat Gear: Basic gear to kill level 30–55 Undead Lumberjacks (10–15 HP).
• Recommended Items: Teleports (Morytania Legs 3/4, Slayer ring, or fairy ring CKS), druid pouch (to handle ghasts), and stamina potions.

Forestry Shop Requirements

• Resources: Anima-infused bark and various logs (yew, magic, redwood, maple).
• Woodcutting Level: 44 to equip, but no combat or quests needed.
• Access: Forestry events or Grand Exchange for materials.

How to Get the Lumberjack Outfit via Temple Trekking

The most common method to get the Lumberjack outfit is through the Temple Trekking minigame in Morytania. This involves escorting NPCs and defeating Undead Lumberjacks during a specific event. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown.

Step-by-Step Guide to Temple Trekking

1. Prepare Your Inventory: Bring a weapon (e.g., dragon scimitar), weight-reducing gear (e.g., graceful), a druid pouch, teleports (Morytania Legs or Slayer ring), and a few Saradomin brews for safety.
2. Choose Route One: Start in Burgh de Rott and select an easy companion like Dalcian Fang or the mage by the River Salve. Route One minimizes combat events.
3. Look for the Bridge Event: You need the broken bridge event without trees. Undead Lumberjacks spawn here and have a 25% chance to drop a piece (one per event).
4. Kill Lumberjacks: Don’t pick up planks or repair the bridge. Kill waves of five lumberjacks (wait 30 seconds for more to spawn if no drop). Use area attacks like a dragon halberd special or barrages for efficiency.
5. Teleport and Repeat: Once you get a piece, teleport out (e.g., to Burgh de Rott), restart the trek, and repeat until you have all four pieces: boots, hat, legs, top.

Tips for Faster Temple Trekking

• Companion Choice: Use Rolayne Twickit (level 20) if possible, as he can “look ahead” to preview events, saving time.
• Skip Non-Bridge Events: If you hit a bog or sick traveler event, teleport out to avoid wasting time.
• World Hopping: After killing a wave with no drop, hop worlds and resume the trek to reset the event.
• Order of Drops: Post-2011 update, pieces drop in order (boots, hat, legs, top), with no duplicates until the set is complete.

Expected Time and RNG

The bridge event’s appearance is random, and the 25% drop rate per event means luck plays a role. On average, players report getting the full set in 1–3 hours, though it can take longer if RNG isn’t on your side. Using the look-ahead strategy and Route One can cut this down significantly.

Alternative Method – Forestry Shop Purchase

If you’d rather skip combat, you can buy the Lumberjack outfit from the Forestry Shop. This method is ideal for skillers or players with resources to spare.

Forestry Shop Costs

Here’s a breakdown of the materials needed for each piece, available at Forestry Shops in Draynor Village or Seer’s Village:

Piece	Anima-Infused Bark	Logs Required	Approx. GE Cost (2025)
Lumberjack Hat	1,200	100 Magic, 200 Yew	~60,000 GP
Lumberjack Top	1,500	120 Redwood, 120 Magic, 60 Yew	~142,600 GP
Lumberjack Legs	1,300	140 Magic, 160 Yew	~80,000 GP
Lumberjack Boots	1,000	100 Maple, 200 Yew	~61,400 GP
Total	5,000	120 Redwood, 360 Magic, 620 Yew, 100 Maple	~344,000 GP

How to Gather Materials

• Anima-Infused Bark: Earn by participating in Forestry events (e.g., near Maple, Yew, or Magic trees in Seer’s Village). Join Forestry worlds (388, 444, 487, 510) for group bonuses.
• Logs: Chop them yourself (requires 75+ Woodcutting for redwoods) or buy on the Grand Exchange for convenience.
• Time Estimate: Gathering materials can take 5–10 hours if Woodcutting, or under an hour if buying everything.

Pros and Cons of Forestry Shop

Pros:

• No combat or quests required.
• Predictable—no RNG involved.
• Supports skiller accounts.

Cons:

• Expensive if buying materials (around 344,000 GP).
• Time-consuming if gathering bark/logs manually.

Tips for Maximizing Efficiency

Regardless of the method, these tips will help you get the Lumberjack outfit faster and with less frustration.

General Efficiency Tips

• Use Teleports: Morytania Legs 3/4 or fairy ring CKS for quick access to Burgh de Rott or Paterdomus.
• Optimize Gear: For Temple Trekking, lightweight gear and a strong weapon speed up kills. For Forestry, use a felling axe for better event rewards.
• Track Progress: Keep note of which pieces you’ve obtained to stay motivated.

Combining Methods

If you’re short on cash but don’t mind some combat, try getting a few pieces via Temple Trekking and buy the rest from the Forestry Shop. For example, grab the boots and hat (easier drops) through trekking, then purchase the top and legs to save time and GP.

With this guide, you’re ready to snag the Lumberjack outfit and boost your Woodcutting game. Whether you choose the adrenaline of Temple Trekking or the steady grind of the Forestry Shop, you’ll be chopping logs in style in no time. Happy skilling!
