when is it recommended to cut magic trees in osrs
The usual recommendation is to start cutting magic trees at 75 Woodcutting , since that’s the level required to chop them in OSRS. For practical efficiency, many players wait until around 85 Woodcutting because chop rates improve noticeably there.
What makes them worth it
Magic trees are mostly cut for money or very AFK gameplay , not for fast experience, because their XP rate is slow compared with other trees. They also respawn slowly, so world hopping is commonly suggested after a tree is depleted.
Best time to cut them
- At 75 Woodcutting: You can start immediately if you want access and profit from magic logs.
- At 85+ Woodcutting: Chopping becomes noticeably better, so this is the more comfortable “recommended” point for longer sessions.
- In the Woodcutting Guild: This is often recommended because it has a bank nearby and a strong setup for chopping magics.
Practical takeaway
If your goal is profit , start when you can access them at 75 and use the best location you can reach, especially the Woodcutting Guild. If your goal is better efficiency and less frustration , waiting until 85 Woodcutting is the cleaner choice.
TL;DR: 75 to start, 85+ is the more commonly recommended point for actually cutting them comfortably.
