Woodcutting Skill
Woodcutting is a skill in Valheim that makes you better at cutting down trees. This skill is unlocked the first time you try to chop down a tree. Leveling woodcutting is inevitable in Valheim, unless you'd rather just pick up scrap wood off the ground forever.
Effects of leveling woodcutting skill
- +1% damage to trees per level for +100% damage at level 100 (max level)
Trees are actually enemies. Every tree has HP and when you chop at it with an axe it does damage to the tree. When you take all the health away from a tree enemy, it falls over. At max woodcutting you do double damage to trees with axes.
