Non Combat-Related Skills / Non combat skill guides

Anyone with a good knowledge of a skill can post a skill guide. 
I think having a 99 in Woodcutting qualifies me to post about woodcutting but w/e 
.
I made a post on the RS forums while woodcutting, about woodcutting, to take my mind off my character woodcutting and here it is.
(Ps Ignore all the post dates that's just the runescape page things.)
Win's Member Woodcutting guide V1
Introduction: This is a Members woodcutting guide which will (hopefully) prepare you for many levels to come. If you can think of something I left out, I'll gladly create a version #2 of this guide, and give you complete credit for your contribution if it is useful.
This guide is for 1-99.
Notes/Tips:
Goals: From experience, acheiving distant goals has always been a problem. Not only for me but for many of my friends and aquaintences, and fellow players. One great way to achieve larger goals is to break it down into smaller goals.
For example, if you were at, say level 45, and you were feeling discouraged about your overall goal, set it to 50, and once you reach 50, you set your next goal... to let's say... 60. Doing this will hopefully prevent you from feeling belittled by the length of the "road" ahead of you.
Boredom: When you get to the higher levels (70s-90s) you will find yourself with a lot of spare time on your hands. Open up another tab and browse the internet or play a game or watch something on youtube, turn your volume up so you can hear your axe hitting what you're cutting, and more importantly, when it stops hitting what you're cutting. That's when you switch back over, and select a new target for your character. This really helps me alot!
Clan chats: Chatting in a well known clan, and to your friends aswell as surfing the web pretty much makes woodcutting seem like nothing. You make it easier sometimes by not focusing too hard. I also like doing this alot.
Taking breaks: Don't be afraid to go do something else with your friends on runescape for half an hour, play a minigame or something. Hell, heres a thought. Try going OUTSIDE, The graphics are amazing.
Well now that that's over with, let's get on to the level guide.
By the way, the only reason I'm writing this is because I'm Woodcutting right now and I need something to distract myself with.

Levels 1-15) Trees.
Just your average, everyday trees.
They can be found all across Runescape.
These will be your first stepping stone to greatness.
You only get 1 log per tree.
(Forget about those Achey Trees you see in the level map, I havn't seen a single one in all my time on Runescape, and levels 1-15 aren't that tedious that I'd go look for them.)
Levels 15-30)Oaks
Oaks are very different from normal trees, they give multiple logs per tree, and you should probably bank these, if you're not burning them, because if you're a low level, these aren't bad money, last time I checked.
These can be found in many places as well, such as the Lumbridge "Goblin Area"
and generally well forested areas, they blend in pretty well with normal trees though, so if you're going off to train alone or something along those lines (I don't know why you'd need isolated training at level 15 but... anyway.)
You'd best look at the forest between Lumbridge, Draynor, and the Wizard's Castle.
Levels 30-68)Willows (Other Options Available)
Willows can be found generally near banks of rivers and lakes, and oceans too.
Commonly, people go to Draynor, and just south of the bank, there are an abundance of these droopy-looking trees.
They also give multiple logs per tree.
(Note: This area can sometimes be crowded, so if I'm not mistaken, there are a few willows near "Mudskipper Point" South of Port Sarim.
Levels 35-68)Teak
These trees are marked with the "Rare Tree" symbol.
These produce multiple logs, and give quite a fair bit of experience,A good bit more than Willow, and are easy to cut. Although this does sound just great, these are incredibly rare and a royal pain in the ass to find. No, really, there's one in Miscellainia, and one south of Castle Wars, 9 at Hardwood Grove, Tai Wannai Cleanup (You need 100 sticks). And I think there are a few more secluded areas with only one tree.
To me these really aren't worth the trouble.

(You may have noticed I skipped Yews, because they really aren't great for experience untill the high 80s, when they cut quickly like oaks, and by then you could be doing Ivy, which is alot better for experience. You don't HAVE to do exactly what this guide says, as it's just a tool to "Guide" you.)
There's two paths that both have really good experience.
68-99)Ivy
Ivy can be found on walls, it's 300 Exp per ivy sheared, and, best of all, it doesn't fill up your inventory with annoying logs you have to dispose of.
You also meet alot of great people while cutting Ivy, sharing the same road as you, who will most likely become friends with you, and you're also likely to meet a couple of morons too, but hey, everything's entertainment.
Just avoid a mute and you're fine .
Ivy untill 80, 80-99)Sawmill training
I'm not sure exactly what this is, but I was told by a friend if you're attentive, this can be incredibly fast experience, and you can leave your friends doing Ivys in the dust.
He also said that you should get a "Crystal Saw" from In The Eyes of Glouphrie, or else it's pretty much pointless. He also muttered something about not having to recharge it in the sawmill area.
Anyway, once you hit 80, you have about a week and a half to a week left of your training, till that big 99 party you've been planning.
Hey, if you happen to get it later at night, and some of your friends aren't on, I'd say just go for it, invite who's on, go to the grand exchange, and say hey, follow for a 99 wc party, then go get it when you have enough people...
Anyway, hoped this helped, as it helped me get 2 more levels without noticing.
Thanks for reading.
Enjoy your skillcape if you keep at it!
