Money making guide/Cutting yew logs

Note: You should only be using a Rune axe on a yew tree if you are a free-to-play player.

Chopping yew logs can be a profitable method, as players use these logs for Fletching and Firemaking.

The best members place to chop yew trees is within the Woodcutting Guild, where you can find two spots. One is located at the south-western area of the guild, where a bank chest is available for easy banking. The other one is near the entrance to the Woodcutting Guild, which has a bank deposit near it. Cutting yew logs in the guild, you can expect to get around 240-280 (59,800–91,000 coins) per hour, depending on your woodcutting level and axe.

Another location for yew logs is west of Catherby by the flaxfield or south of the Seers' Village bank in the church graveyard. Free-to-play players can cut them behind Varrock Palace (east of the Grand Exchange) or at the Edgeville ruins. Depending on levels, players can chop 130–220 yew logs (33,800–57,200 coins) per hour.

In Prifddinas, crystal shards are rewarded from a successful cut at a 1/40 rate, meaning one can expect 4–6 crystal shards per hour. Each crystal shard can be worth as much as 11,905.00 coins.

Using tick manipulation it is possible to get up to 345 yew logs per hour, yielding 84,500 coins per hour. Further on this - you can cycle between your own grown yew tree (e.g. near the Stronghold Slayer Cave) and a different overworld tree. Assuming around the same duration of time spent on each, you are effectively able to get up to ~518 yew logs per hour on average (as it's an average between 3-ticking the overworld tree and 1.5-ticking the player-grown tree); yielding 134,680 coins per hour.
