Ivy Chopping Guide V2
The easiest guide is here!



Requirements
68 Woodcutting
Rune Hatchet, Dragon Hatchet, or Inferno Adze
(for best exp use Dragon Hatchet or Inferno Adze)
*Do not use SC Hatchet, it gives less exp over time than Dragon Hatchet or InfernoAdze.


There are many places you can chop ivy.

North wall of Varrock Palace, near the Yew trees. (4 Ivy spots)
South-east outer wall of Varrock Palace, next to tree Farming patch. (5 Ivy spots)
North side of the north wall of Falador, a little west from Standing stones location. (7 Ivy spots)
South side of the south wall of Falador, a little north of the allotment patch. (7 Ivy spots)
South wall of Castle Wars, south of the Saradomin base. (7 Ivy spots)
South-east of Taverley, near the Hot air balloon. (5 Ivy spots)
East wall of East Ardougne church, just west of Handelmort's Mansion. (5 Ivy spots)
North side of the north wall of Yanille, south-east of Yanille Dungeon. (6 Ivy spots)

Bolded are my favorite spots.
Red has a chance to die if botting. (Mass attacks by bloated toads from people laying them underneath you)



Now to actually chop the ivy.

1. You click on it.
2. You wait.
3. You get 332.5 Exp per success.
4. The ivy dies randomly. (3 minute average)
5. You move to a new ivy.

Generally it's about 60k exp an hour (at low levels) and gradually becomes more, 90k exp an hour, at higher levels.

You CAN use woodcutting brawlers to increase your exp a ton.
You will get 498.75 exp per success with brawlers.

The best part of ivy, you never have to bank unless you spend a mass amount of time at ivy. (12+ hours)
That is because ivy drops nests on the ground.
Most ivy spots have a bank around the corner.



Maximizing Profit
Pick up all nests. (30k+ an hour)
Use a Magpie to forage. (60k+ an hour)
Farm Best Profit Herb. (80k+ an hour)

Alike Mining and Fishing, you can also High Alchemize while you chop.
This gives you a bonus of about 40k exp in Magic an hour.
I can post a video later explaining if you guys would like.

Don't forget hunter lucky rabbits foot necklace for increased nest chance. Unless it is null on ivys

How do you farm

I used dragon from like 75 wc -> 99 at the fally spot

got it in like 2 weeks, all i did was watch tv/movies and afk cut



yeah, you can get nests on ivy, but without using foot necklace its hella rare, i got like 8 from 85-99 lol
