Woodcut
Woodcut is a classic rune landscape skill that is especially convenient in dragon wings. Whether you need wood to build the base, make some new gear or brew some potion, you need to effectively chop and plunder the wood.
As you progress your woodcutting skills, the cost of stability decreases and you can unlock a lot of useful spells and abilities. Perhaps the most useful spell in Dragon Boat is called Axtral projection, which allows you to instantly chop a tree to several trees. Upgrading woodcuts can also allow you to cut off tricky vines, which is perfect for exploring purposes and unlock structures that can be built that store excess wood logs on your base. You need to upgrade the woodcut to level 40 to unlock all its abilities, but the highest level you can reach is 49.
While you don't have to reach level 49 right away, cutting trees and harvesting logs will save you time in the long run, which in turn can improve woodcutting skills. Having a high woodcut level makes your pedestal building easier, allows you to use more wood and helps you explore on the map. So take out the logging axe and start cutting down the forest of the chinchilla.
