Yew logs

Yew logs are a type of wood obtained from yew trees, which can be found in various locations throughout Gielinor, most notably in areas such as the Tree Gnome Stronghold and the Land’s End. These logs are highly sought after for their use in crafting high-level bows, such as the yew longbow and the yew shortbow, making them valuable for players training their Ranged skill. In addition to their use in fletching, yew logs can also be burned for a significant amount of Firemaking experience, making them a versatile resource for both skill training and profit.

To obtain yew logs, players must have a Woodcutting level of 60 or higher. Chopping yew trees yields a yield of 125 experience per log, making it an efficient way to level up in Woodcutting. Yew logs can also be traded on the Grand Exchange, where they often fetch a good price due to their demand from both fletchers and Firemakers alike. Whether you’re a seasoned player looking to enhance your gear or a newcomer aiming to build your skills, yew logs are an essential item in your OSRS journey.
