Im talking about p2p players, 1-100, not f2p, 1-30

Dude, I'm a Level 100 Lumberjack, Fisherman and Hunter. (and farmer and alchemist >_>)
Hunter is MUCH easier than lumberjack, and unlike lumberjack there is a fast way to level it. lumberjack 4 slot recipe is just great. needs trunknid wood which you can't gather.
Fisherman and Lumberjack are close but all in all there is much less competition fishing than there is with lumberjacking even with the recent popularity of fishing. Lol.. just as much wood as cereals.. I don't know why I'm even arguing with you.

I'm currently working on getting my second fisher to 100, "cheated" my way to 40 by gutting the first fishermans fish by fishing in the right place at the right level and skipping the lower level ponds it's quite easy to level. atleast compared to lumberjack where you have to run all over the map.

Edit: oh and before anyone says you can just saw planks to get to level 40 lumberjack. you need only 36641 fish to level from 1-40 (which I sell for 900kk) but you need 732820 ash wood. which according to ash' average price would be nearly 17m worth of ash wood.

1) I hope you were sarcastic in your post, otherwise:
are you stupid? NO 100 lvl LJ and Farmer would compare these professions. I am 99% sure that you do not have a 100 lvl lumberjack. 2) trunknid woods cost 5kk ea, it would cost tens of millions to use that recipy to level. Besides wtf are u talking about, hunter has loads of good recipies.

I have no idea why you infact are arguing with me about the amount of trees/cereals, because the numbers speak for me
Some exapmles:
lvl 1 - Wheat x2133 > Ash x566
lvl 60 - Malt x491 > Wild Cherry x29
lvl 70 - Hemp x637 > Ebony x19

Yeah theres the same amount of cereals and trees right?

uhhh dude she was aggreing with you XD

i put that there on purpose.

Edit: already had answered that question lol

Getting closer to topic

About your question, Skull... To show or not the loop maps:
1. yes. it would be really helpful for lower leveled LJ's. As far as the topic is claimed to be a guide, it would be a significant part of the topic
2. no. i (personally) don't like lazy people. You have already pointed out main coordinates for the loops. If the person won't even look at other locations and just run on the spots you show him/her. A bit unfair

That is, my personal attitude is negative If someone contacts me ingame and asks for some tips on leveling lj and/or miner, we can have a nice conversation. Each of us can get some useful information. And trying to make other people give you the information you consume only makes me a bit angry. As much as "give me kamas", "give me free stuff", "don't do that", "cast that spell" and so on (you get the idea.. winking)

Nyo

Yeah I agree with that, I dont want to spoon feed people, instead I want them to experience and learn by theirselves (just poiting them into the right direction). I decided not to post the loop maps.

Good guide for sure; I basically had figured something similar out on my own - but EGADS! something has to be done about the limited number or recipes! I managed to level my Farmer noobishly to 60 before I realized I could make multi-slot flours that don't go into anything my girlfriend was baking with; that was really slow - but so much faster than lumberjacking!

The only thing about fishing I think makes it more tolerable is you get a sound effect when you finish fishing. So you can watch TV, read, draw or do anything other than stare at the screen waiting for the toon to finish fishing. That way you can mindlessly camp one map fishing away, without the urge to stick a fork in your neck.

Good guide man. lvl 100 lumberjack as well.

I personally cut bombu whenever I could and didn't wait. I would suggest trying to get as much as you can. I also went through eltneg wood from lvl 40 on. I kind of developed a pattern in which I'd go from eltneg first, perhaps bombu/oliviolet/dark bamboo (alignment in your favor needed), amakna forest and go down to scaraleaf plains there, and then finally go through eltneg wood again. Something of that pattern but I'm pretty sure everyone develops patterns once you keep doing this.

what about bombu and ovoilet? they were good exp for me.

Lumberjack seems much harder to me than farmer. Both are well worth it though.

Farmer lv100, Lumberjack lv97 (puff puff puff)

Bombu and oliviolet are good sources of experience too, but forest woods are more useful if you have proffs or want to sell them and as well many of the higher levelled lumberjacks cut those so it might be tough to find a spawn, but once you do then you can control it pretty well.

Excellent guide, this is sure to put many people on the path to high-level lumberjackdom.

I too have found that even though bombu and oliviolet give the best exp they are very far from being the best money-makers. This is why even though I have yet to reach 100 I still chop almost exclusively at Scaras.

Just wondering, is mining really easier than lumberjack? because it didnt seem that way to me when i had them both on an old character mining i got to like 13 in the time lumberjack took to get 30, just based on the fact that i couldnt find hardly ANY iron, with all the other people doing it, also, iron sells for like 15 times what ash does for a stack of 100, so that wouldnt make alot of sense that lj would be harder than miner.

Im not doubting that getting lj to 100 is hard, i got farming and it was a real drag, but it just seems to me that mining would be worse.

I'd say that's a pretty common experience. I found though that higher level ores are more easily found than higher level woods.

That means when your miner reachs lv80+ he has an easier time levelling on high ores. Try finding, say an elm tree (lv90 wood). There are like 4 in the game, and only a couple that are fairly easy to get to. Lv80 gold is pretty easy to find in fact.

Miners can also speed their levelling by making alloys. My miner did lv95 - lv100 in one afternoon strictly from making kriptonit, a 7 slot alloy recipe. Wish my lumberjack could do that.

Level 97.5 lumberjack. 1 month and 1 week into brand new server. Very time consuming. Playing 8+ hours a day to achieve this level. And I did bombu/oliviolet rarely levels 60-95 as there are too many low level lumberjacks. I purchased the [5,31] house and just use house potions to put wood in there. Best lumberjack house available IMO. I cut up feudala/jelly&scara/down from milicluster zaap(was also doing eltneg from rocky plains zaap for mainly walnut but stopped). Occasionally go to bombu/oliviolet now, mainly I just focus on mats for staff carver (walnut) and making sure I am the only one to get the 3 elm trees while I am on (Yea I know there are 6 but you tell me how to go to dark vlad/20+ maps of koalas or 9th room of crackler dungeon every 2+ hours for 3 trees...) Elm sells great. I am making 200,000k+ a day just on elm and I only have a 1-3 chop and with level 100 I will be making 3 times that. LJ FTW

Hehe sounds a lot like me when I still was lvling LJ gg keep going! Now imaging doing that on a crowded server where the competition is huge.

Miner is definetly easier in the later levels than LJ as you have stuff to make out of the ores, as for LJ rare wood shavings are too costly to be worth it.

Also for those who claim lumberjack being easier, for sure are low levels like 30, not 100 in both respective professions.
Thanks for all the positive comments =)
