Treechopping

In order to chop a tree, you will first need a Hatchet. These usually can be easily found in Town Shops or Trade Posts by talking to a Merchant NPC. Once you have one, be sure to check its Durability to make sure it isn't broken. To do this, make sure the Hatchet is in your inventory, then move your mouse over it. A small window will appear showing the name of the object, it's number of Damage, and the Durability. The higher of number of Durability, the longer the Hatchet will last, but if the Durability number is really low (like 10 or lower) it will break quickly. Now, walk up to a tree and Equip your Hatchet (done inside your Inventory). Be careful not to stand to the right or left of the tree, because it will fall and most likely kill you. Now all you simply do is click the Interact button on your screen, then click on the tree. After a short bit of time, the tree will fall and now you can chop it into a log with a Hatchet, but only if the Tree was large. Small trees only give branches for use in fire making.
