there must be a better way to lvl lumberjacker faster im a lvl 58 lumberjacker but i think there just has to be a better way to lvl lumberjacker tehn cut maple and oak for money all the time

i tryd to get all the yew wood and make the potions (2 yew 2 maple 2 oak) thats just gives some good xp i think

but

yew is rare and has a long respawn time

im a brak with that acc so i cant come near bonta to cut the yew (attacks of the guards) but ok

so i try to do maple and oak (gives nice money and ppl buy it all the time)

but still my pods are not big 1800 so i cant carry much

that just doesent lvl very vast

anyone got a better idea

and dont say make a route maybe anyone know a hidden recepie or something

please let me know wish to lvl 100 to gather fast wood for other proffesions
thx

Get pod set (good bag, maxed bworky, belt with pods and so on), movies, cartoons, snacks, whatever else you may need for 1-2 weeks... And start chopping everything you can. Every single tree. If you are dedicated enough you'll be done in 2 weeks (assuming 16 hours per day chopping).

Also you can buy yew and chop maple and oak to make your potions. But it's pretty expensive way and chopping can be faster.

that ainth helping its commen sence i know i need to get a good pods set/bag bworky and belt

but\


2 weeks to lvl lumberjack 16 hours a day is just fucked up

and buying yew ainth a option its not normal how exspencive that is

if the potions sell
then i make enough profit but aslong as the potions dont sell it will cost to much

Is there a reason you aren't cutting bombu and oliviolet? They have a short cut time like oak, but more xp per cut. Also, you need to go to aerdala whenever it is brak to cut bamboo. If you aren't lvl 60, you need to get there. That way you have access to decent pods gear and you can equip a mount that you can dump some wood on also.

There is no fast way to lvl lumberjack unless you are incredibly wealthy. So plan on grinding it out just the same way you do leveling your class. Figure out what gives the most xp per minute spent harvesting, and stick to it. Unfortunately, the things that give the fastest xp aren't always the things that sell well. On rosal the price of bombu and oliviolet is usually fairly low because of how much is cut for leveling.

I quit making potions when the 2-slot type wasn't worth making anymore. On the other hand, I quit those because I use the wood to level handyman/jeweler. It isn't an easy profession to level, but you will love it when you make lvl 100.

Good luck.

I gave up bombu and oliviolet as too many people cut them. I made the last 5 levels on ash and chestnut (of course I chopped everything I saw, but primarily it were these trees as they have the fastest respawn).


@smoeltje
Sorry, but ratters aren't provided for professions.

Cut in Eltneg Wood. The Militia is only on the maps next to the Bonta wall, on the maps from -24 to -17, it is only Trools you have to avoid.

There is tons of wood there, with lots of Yew, Cherry and even a fair amount of Ebony. It is accessable thru the Cania Plains Zaap, so you do not have to dodge Bonta Militia, at all. Dodging the Trools can take patience and strategy, but it is worth it for me....I can fill my 3000 pods with just a dozen maps. ('bout 35 maps in the Woods, not counting the ones with militia~http://www.wikia.com/dofus/Trees)
Because of the big aggressive Trool mobs, not as many lumberjacks cut there, as do the strip right next to the Bonta wall, (on Solar, at least), and may be a good spot for you to level on.

Lumberjack is one of the most time consuming profession as I noticed (have been all of them, mostly).
So hard work is a bet you must make.
Wish they add some more recipes for lumberjacks, they lack of XP source and some more wood spawns should also help us a little.

First of all you should be cutting the trees which yield best exp/cut time ratio along with a big spawn. So find out which tree(s) you should be cutting by what I said.

Getting to 100 Lumberjack is a lot of work, but it will pay off.

It might help to have another prof that makes good kama from the wood you can cut. Having a monetary incentive to cut makes it more bearable.

Staff Bonely

Try Staff Carver and make Staff Bonelys to shatter for sa and pa sa runes. At lv100 ljack this is a genuine kama machine....

There's your problem. It does not make sense to be brak on a lumberjack (or miner, or to a much lesser extent, farmer) - you give up too much convenience. I have a number of characters, one of which is my L100 LJ/Miner. I keep her neutral because it's inconvenient to mine while being Bont, and inconvenient to LJ while being Brak.

Except its damned inconvient trying to wait for the gates to be opened in Dala to get bamboo wood, dark bamboo wood, or holy bamboo wood as a LJ.

You don't need them that often unless you use this wood to level some profession.
Also Holy Bamboo exists in non-alignment area and can be collected by neutral lumberjacks with almost no problems (considering LJ's usually baby-sit this tree).

But I agree that resources in the alignment zones aren't the best solution for professionals.

Holy Bamboo only exists in Aerdala. This is alignment territory. The one in the Kitsoune/Kitsou Dungeon is apparently no longer cuttable.

Are you sure it's no longer collectible?
I never baby-sit Holy Bamboo, but I was able to chop dark bamboo and bamboo in kitsou dungeon. I thought someone just chopped Holy Bamboo before me.

2 weeks at 16 hours nikito? Maybe you are right depending on the server or hours you cut wood, but personally only took me one week level 30-100 during a school vacation week (9 days) of playing 10-12 hours a day. The time you cut is a big factor. You want to check out your server's activity hours on the official website under server status and cut during those couple of hours if possible. Bamboo at your level is great xp. The respawn is about 45 min and while waiting for it to respawn I would go and do the route south of the 5,7 zaap or go hit jelly peninsula. Then back to bamboo. At dark bamboo level I would cut dark bamboo, then bamboo, then 5,7 route, then peninsula. Having a house near the edge of the sufokia/jelly peninsula border is great for teleing to jelly peninsula fast!

It's Nikto...

Your advice is good but doesn't work for neutrals.

I'm on Rosal and I doubt it's possible to go from 30 to 100 in 100-120 hours, because of too high competition.

Nikto*, sorry :E. Yes, competition for wood is everything. Sometimes it comes down to just sucking it up and cutting ash where ever you can find it

from personal experience as a level 75 lumberjack currently, I find there is no shortcut to this profession. All you can do is chop whatever you can find for hours on end. To get a level alone from chopping in 70s I found I spent about 3-4 hours roughly of plain clearing forests of chesnut, maple, oak, yew(when I could get it), and a bit of ash.

If you think that's hard, you should try the other professions. I've taken many professions to 100, and while lumberjack is among the harder of the gathering professions (Alchemist, Farmer, and Miner, in order of increasing difficulty, are all easier), the crafting professions were (apart from Butcher and Baker, because of their unique status) without exception harder and less pleasant than LJ to level. For example, I levelled Tailor from 1 to 62 entirely on Piwis, and even now I shudder when I see piwis around. I dreamed about piwi fights for weeks (and I almost never have dreamt about Dofus apart from tree-cutting dreams for a few days after taking LJ to 100).

Professions are supposed to be hard - if they were easy, we wouldn't feel the sense of accomplishment in having levelled them. It does not mean a lot to have taken alchemist to 100 (given how easy that profession is), but Tailors, Shieldsmiths, and Handymen at 100 are pretty rare. Be glad Lumberjack is a profession of only moderate difficulty

lumberjack and tailor are slightly different, tailor you level as fast as your budget allows, lumberjack forces you to cut down low level trees because of the rarity of high ones, and there is no decent recipes for LJ like there is for alch, farmer and miner

Not really, you can always do 4 slots recipe and level without chopping all the way to 100. It will cost you probably less than level a tailor.

Tailors have an alternative - level on piwis from 1-60 and great adventurer bags 60+. This is what I did - incredibly dull (not yet at 100), but requiring nothing but time.

Even if you're rich enough, there won't be much trunknid wood you can buy.

6'824 crafts are needed if you go with 4 slots recipes from lvl 80 to 100. So, it's 6'824 trunknid wood: can be bought but not all at the same time.

6,824 truknid wood...

I can't imagine how long it will take to buy this quantity due to its limited supply.

I can only imagine how its price will steadily climb if someone uses it to level lumberjack...

Well, some people don't like to spend hours chopping wood, but they want lvl 100 lumberjack. And trunknid wood is the only way to get there without chopping.

I myself chopped wood and continue to do it now (over 1 million xp on my lumberjack and should be near 2 millions when I'm done with my profs).


On the other hand, I'm working on shield smith at the moment and I will need 3'417 crackler hearts (it's the cheapest and the most resources efficient recipe). Six thousands of trunknid wood look like a joke comparing to lvl 80+ shield smith mats.

Yes, that's the only way if they don't want chopping. But it is boringly time-consuming no matter you hunt them by yourself or constantly check the sellrooms. And using all those wood with limited supplies for 50xp per craft? It would be much worse than chopping trees, I must say.

@OP: The sole purpose of leveling a lumberjack is to chop trees. What's the purpose for having a level 100 lumberjack if you don't want to chop trees?



I don't know why you said it would look like a joke.

The supply of trunknid wood is always limited while the demand for it is pretty high. The problem on the supply side has become worse with the pvp mess nowadays. I don't know what's the situation in your sever, but here in my server, they are hardly found in sellrooms despite the fact its price has jumped nearly tenfold since the introduction of headhunting.

On the other hand, crackler's heart is not always in high demand and people still farm cracklers heavily. I myself hold over 1,500 crackler's hearts in my bank (after using a few hundred), and I believe my sister hold a similiar amount too.

I always found people throwing them on the ground when I farmed diamonds. So maybe you can advertise your purchase in a better way to speed up your profession.

I meant the whole set of mats. 3400 hearts + 120'000 of ore. This is needed to go from 80 to 100 only. Not to mention that all these shields can't be used, sold or crushed for runes. It's a pure waste of mats.
LJ potions can be sold (slowly, though) and can be used for repairing ethereals.

Indeed, many people throw away the hearts as a junk and many of them don't want to bother selling them as 5-10kk won't make a difference for them.
Actually I was planning to spam r and b channels with announces I'm buying them. Ore and wood at the moment are of greater concern for me.

The holy bamboo in kitsou room is still cuttable.

Thanks for confirmation.
Is it you who cuts it before me?

Hi,
I'm also trying to reach lvl 100 lumberjack. Here are some hints I learned along the way.
1) If you're under lvl 60 you can equip a mount, but you can't ride it so just use it as an extra holding. (P2P)
2) Let's say your mount is holding up to max compacity and you are holding up to max compacity, go to a bank thats empty, sofukia is a good one, drop the resource on the floor move the mounts inventory to your own. Make sure that you dropped the one type of resource. (P2P)
3) Quickly pick up what you dropped. It will say you are overloaded if you try to move and thats okay. You can still access the bank and deposit all the resourses you worked hard to gather.
4) Where a set of cracker boots, belt and amulet this makes the resource protectors unable to do too much damage if it doesn't prevent it all. I use Minot'Horn, Sack of Novist, Pippin Blop Ring, Indigo Blop Ring and an Oak axe
