Gathering
Fishing, mining and foraging: tools, where to go, and what to level on.
Gathering skills start at level 1 and never change your combat level. Click a spot with the right tool in your bag or on your tool belt: you keep gathering until it runs dry, your bag is full, or you walk away. Spots come back after a while. Better tools are faster.
The tool belt
Tools don't have to take up bag space. The Equipment window (E) has a tool belt with four slots: pickaxe, hatchet, sickle and rod. Right-click a tool in your bag and choose Put on tool belt, or drag it onto its slot. Putting a better tool on swaps the old one back into your bag. Click a belt tool, or drag it into your bag, to take it off.

Woodcutting
Chop trees with a hatchet in your bag or on your tool belt (iron, steel or mithril; buy one from Tobias, Garrick or Garr, or smith one). Each kind of tree needs a Woodcutting level and gives its own logs:
| Tree | Level | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Tree | 1 | Brookhollow, between the meadow and the forest |
| Oak | 15 | Brookhollow forest, Fernwood, Millbrook |
| Willow | 30 | Fernwood's lake and mire, Highmoor |
| Maple | 45 | Millbrook's slopes |
| Yew | 60 | Highmoor's moor, Frostfang, Thornwood |
| Elderwood | 75 | Thornwood's Elder Grove |
Now and then a bird's nest falls out with something shiny inside. Logs feed Fletching.
Farming
Farming is gathering you plant yourself: seeds go in a garden plot and grow in real time. See the Farming guide.
