New World Logging Guide

Introduction

Logging is a gathering trade skill in New World that allows players to gather raw wood resources from logging nodes that will be used in crafting trade skills; Weaponsmithing, Engineering, and Furnishing. It is also used in the smelting and woodworking refining Trade Skills. In our New World logging guide, we cover all this and more.

Getting Started

When first starting out you will need a flint logging axe to start gathering nodes. This requires engineering level 0 along with 1 flint and 1 green wood to craft it. You are able to pick up both the flint and green wood without the need of a gathering tool by walking up to the respective bush/flint and pressing your interact key. (Default “E) Once obtained a Tier 1 camp fire or workshop is required to craft it. Once crafted you will need to equip it and you can start gathering.

Higher character levels are able to use better tiers of Logging Axes:

Item	Level Range	Tier	Gathering Speed
Iron Logging Axe	3-19	II	200% – 350%
Steel Logging Axe	16-39	III	350% – 450%
Starmetal Logging Axe	32-59	IV	450% – 625%
Orichalcum Logging Axe	51-60	V	625% – 850%

It is advised to use the highest tier possible followed by the best gear score possible to best increase your gathering speed. 

Logging Thresholds

As you level your logging you will gain the ability to harvest and track additional resources. The below chart outlines each logging level threshold.

Resource	Gatherable at Level	Tracked at Level
Young Trees & Cacti	0	N/A
Mature Trees & Cacti	50	N/A
Wyrdwood	100	125
Ironwood	150	200

You can also earn a Hidden Stash while harvesting any node. Opening a Stash will award you with Earth, Air, Water, and Life motes, gold, and other goodies like a Diamond Gypsum. 

TIP: Logging Luck helps determines what you obtain while Logging. Don’t feel discouraged when first starting out and you are not able to find rare items as your luck increases as you level up. 

How to level Logging

The information contained in this section will assist you in leveling your Logging Trade Skill. Leveling Logging is a straightforward process; chop what you see and just keep going.

Level 1 to 200:

In order to reach level 200 you will need a total of 712,368 experience. The best way to level up Logging is to chop Young Trees since they generate a base average of *6XP a second. Try to focus on chopping down the smaller, quicker to cut trees if possible. 

At level 50 Logging you should still just chop everything in sight as the Mature Trees generate a base average of *4.8XP a second due to their increased chop time. 

At level 100 be sure to stop and grab the Wyrdwood Trees as they are not as abundant as either Young or Mature trees. Wyrdwood Trees generate a base average of *7.8XP a second. 

At level 175 you can start chopping Ironwood trees to mix in with the Young, Mature and Wyrmwood trees. These generate a base average of *30.7XP a second.

*All experience per second calculations are based on an unmodified gathering speed value. You will obviously have a better experience per second rate if you have better gathering speeds, but they were kept equal to see the values to determine what would be the best way to level! 

TIP: Use the interactive map to plot out your path! 

Useful Perks and Attributes While Leveling

There is an experience perk that you will want to seek out on your Axe called Lumberjack’s Discipline. This perk increases your Logging experience based on the gear score value of the Axe. The perk is limited to only Axes. Having this perk is a must if you are trying to power level Logging. At level 200 its great to have for pushing Aptitude Levels.

Constitution at 300 points is ideal while leveling. Having 200 points will give you 20% Logging speed and a 10% weight reduction to harvested items. The 250 point bonus (10% Yield) doesn’t help leveling at all, but great to have while leveling, and the the 300 point bonus will allow you have a 25% chance to chop down a tree in a single swing which can greatly increase your leveling speed.

Enhancing your Logging

Buffs and perks are the 2 main ways to enhance your Logging. Below is a chart for the logging axe perks and their associated perk labels. You can not have 2 perks with the same perk label on your item.

Tool	Perk Label	Perk Name
All Tools	Azoth Gain	Azoth Extraction
All Tools	Durability	Durable
All Tools	GatheringProc	Gathering Recovery
All Tools	GatheringProc	Gathering Alacrity
All Tools	5th Perk, Motes	Fire Alignment
All Tools	5th Perk, Motes	Earth Alignment
All Tools	5th Perk, Motes	Air Alignment
All Tools	5th Perk, Motes	Water Alignment
All Tools	5th Perk, Motes	Spirit Alignment

All Tools	5th Perk, Motes	Death Alignment
Logging Axe	Bonus	Lumberjack’s Discipline
Logging Axe	Bonus	Logging Efficiency
Logging Axe	Luck	Logging Luck
Logging Axe	Yield	Logging Yield

Buffs can stack if they come from different sources. For example, you can stack yield increase buff from a Proficiency potion and territory control. If you attempt to stack buffs from the same source it will just refresh your buff timer. 

There is a Lumberjack armor set that is ideal for players to use while Logging as it should always come with Constitution and Reinforced Logging Luck. This set is not required for logging, but greatly assists due to the stats rolled on the gear are always guaranteed to be what you need for Logging.

Logging Luck

Luck is important for Logging is because it will increase the odds of you obtaining a rare Logging item and an increase to items gathered. There are some thresholds that must be reached in order to obtain the rare items. These thresholds can be obtained by just leveling Logging, but can be reached sooner with the help of the resources talked about not too long ago. 

Thresholds:

• +1,000 Points / 10.00% Ability to harvest Tier 2 & 3 rare wood materials.
• +1,450 Points / 14.50% Ability to harvest Tier 4 rare wood materials.
• +1,800 Points / 18.00% Ability to harvest Tier 5 rare wood materials.

It is important to note that even though these are the thresholds to start seeing these items, it doesn’t mean your chances of seeing them are very high.
