If you are not looking to really looking to get 99 woodcutting fast but you are looking to make some money from woodcutting, you will need to cut more expensive logs than willows. Cut willow logs until you reach level 65 woodcutting. At level 75 woodcutting you can finally cut yew logs, which are the first log where you can really make some good money.

Once you reach level 75 woodcutting, you may want to switch from cutting yew logs to cutting magic logs; however, there are a few advantages and disadvantages to switching from yew logs to magic logs. One disadvantage is that magic logs cut much slower than yew logs, especially at lower woodcutting levels. However, an advantage to cutting magic logs is that magic logs tend sell for around twice the price that yew logs can sell for at the great exchange.

Now that you know how to train to level 99 woodcutting and know the two different ways to getting from 45 to level 99 woodcutting, you should be able to accomplish the task of obtaining the 99 woodcutting cape.
