About the Skill:

Stand before a tree and gaze upward. Do you see leaves? Jagged limbs? Branches? The skilled lumberjack may gaze at the same tree and see buildings and towers and finely carved wooden goods.

As your skill improves, your chance of successfully harvesting wood from a given tree increases. Melisande's Corroded Hatchet is the only item in the game that will raise your Lumberjacking skill when equipped. This skill also counts towards your ability to perform Special Moves.

Human characters will get one extra log per chop, or two if working in Felucca. Elves, on the other hand, have an increased chance of harvesting special Lumber types.
