I know everyone hates ads. But please understand that I am providing premium content for free that takes hundreds of hours of time to research and write. If I can't make at least a little bit of money to support my family via this site, I'll have to stop working on it.
One alternative is to become a RuneScoop member. It's cheap, you get access to all of the site with no ads, and you help keep the lights on around here.
If you want to use this site for free, I'd be grateful if you could add RuneScoop to the whitelist for Adblock. To do so, just open the Adblock menu and select "Disable on Runescoop.com". Or go to the Tools menu and select "Adblock Plus Preferences...". Then click "Add Filter..." at the bottom, and add this string: "@@http://*runescoop.com/*". Then just click OK.
Thanks for your understanding!
Sincerely... Qeltar, aka Charles, your hard-working host and RuneScape guide-writer extraordinaire. :)

Method Description, Instructions and Tips for Success
General Description
Achey logs are used to make ogre arrows for chompy bird hunting, killing zogres and a few other purposes. They are a low-level log but surprisingly valuable, making them a good moneymaker especially at low levels. One reason why these logs are so pricey is that the trees are not conveniently located, and they only give one log per spawn. But this is also why they can be lucrative for woodcutters, despite their relative obscurity. Higher level players can of course cut them as well, though they are likely better off with other activities. If you do cut these as a higher-level player, use a
spirit terrorbird to hold more logs, or a pack yak at level 96 Summoning (don't use a war tortoise as that pouch is very expensive.) I recommend chopping these logs on a full world for faster respawns, especially at higher levels.
Specific Method Details
Teleport to Castle Wars, and equip yourself with a rune hatchet and a ring of duelling. Summon a spirit terrorbird. Exit, run south over the bridge, then head west. As you travel, stop to chop any achey trees you find. Keep going west and you'll eventually find a few stands of several achey trees near each other, right around where the southern wall of Castle Wars bends back towards the river.
When you have 12 logs put them in your beast of burden, then continue going from tree to tree until you have a full load of logs, then teleport back to Castle Wars. Bank the logs, empty the familiar, and repeat.
Note that at this level you should not need to restore run energy.
