Harvesting

Lumberjacking

Lumberjacking feeds Carpentry the way Mining feeds Blacksmithing — and, like Mining, it covers both halves of getting the material ready. Felling trees gives logs; carving those logs into boards is Lumberjacking too, exactly as smelting ore into ingots is Mining. Carpentry begins at the board. The forest is quieter than the mines but not safe — something still wanders out of the treeline now and then.

How you train it Start Lumberjacking at a forest and it chops on a timer. Higher skill unlocks the rarer woods, which are worth far more than common log for the same swing. Carving logs into boards trains it too, but only as far as 75 — past that the axe is the only way up, the same ceiling smelting has for Mining.
What you need An active hatchet, and standing in a forest. Carving boards needs neither — a Saw Pit in your house does it for you while you are elsewhere.

Carving logs into boards

Carving trains Lumberjacking rather than a skill of its own — the same arrangement smelting has with Mining — so the whole timber chain sits under one number, up to a ceiling of 75. A Saw Pit in your house does the carving for you.

Boards are where Lumberjacking hands over — Carpentry turns them into bows, instruments and house fixtures.
