Silviculture (Wood harvesting)
Introduction
Northern Europe has always been a place of great natural beauty, even though it has a severe climate with harsh winters, it is still possible to admire a low vegetation with a great predominance of tall pine trees with wide and resistant trunks which is a key point in the survival of the Nordic people. We Vikings took advantage of these trees, using them as raw material in the creation of various tools, in addition to major constructions that were important in the growth of our civilizations.
What is Forestry?
Forestry is the art of collecting, preserving and cultivating the great forests in order to ensure that there is always wood available for use within the LANDs.
However only the most skilled Grand Lords will know how to use this art, for the simple purpose of benefiting from an unlimited supply of raw material in their LANDs.
How do I collect wood?
Wood will be one of the most used resources in Warriors Vikings, so it is important that it is always available and well prepared, free of moisture and well chipped so that it is ready and can be used as raw material.
To collect wood you need to fell trees, and to do this you will need to have an axe in hand and when approaching a log the option to “Chop” will be enabled.
(Axes can be equipped in the inventory)
After a few solid blows to the tree it will fall and stay on the ground for up to 5 minutes before rotting due to the high humidity in the air. It is worth noting that rotting logs cannot be used and will disappear when your account is disconnected.
After felling a tree you can cut it down a little further to split it into 2 logs of raw wood, logs that are ready to be transported and stored within your kingdom.
Your warrior can only carry two logs on his shoulder at a time, but there is nothing to worry about and you can also obtain a wheelbarrow to facilitate this task.
Note: Warriors lose movement speed while carrying logs on their shoulder.
Note²: Logs that are not placed within a construction zone or are outside of your domain will rot, even if they have already been cut.
Once transported, logs will need to dry for at least 8 hours to get rid of all moisture, ready to be used in construction, or carved into small sticks and stored in the inventory, where they will be useful in crafts and repairing items.
Note: The drying of logs can be speeded up considerably if they are stored in storerooms.
What are the benefits of the wheelbarrow?
The rustic wheelbarrow allows you to carry more than 2 logs at the same time without slowing down your movement speed, making it possible to make better use of time when collecting wood.

What are the benefits of storage for wood?
O depósito pra madeira acelera a secagem dos troncos, aumentando com rapidez a quantidade de troncos secos que poderão ser usados em construções ou na formação de gravetos, possibilitando assim uma melhor eficiência na obtenção de madeira como matéria prima pronta para uso.

| Large Wood Storage | Holds up to 16 logs | Logs dry in 30 min (-93.75%) | Up to 160 logs before breaking | G: 1000 S: 3000 B: 4500 | Sticks: 50 |
How much damage does the axe have?
All axes have 10 base damage, however they have a critical hit percentage that damages wood more quickly, giving from 20 to 50 critical damage according to the axe equipped. The regular axe has a 10% critical hit chance and 200% critical damage, so with each hit it has a 10% chance to do 20 damage. There are also improved axes, special axes and magic axes with even better attributes that will facilitate and speed up wood gathering.
Is energy spent collecting wood?
Yes, we know that each character has daily energy according to its rarity, and it will be consumed according to its activities within the map.
| Activity 💪 | Energy Consumed 🔋 |
|---|---|
| Cutting a tree | 1 energy |
| Cutting a dry log | 1 energy |
| Carrying logs | 3 energy |
What are the uses of wood?
