The basics:

You must talk to Murcaily, who is found next to the Mahogany and Teak tree area. He will explain the things you can do here. After you have talked with him, you will need to get a machete. You can buy normal ones from the shop north west of Tai Bwo Wannai. Machetes will allow you to cut three different types of jungle. The woodcutting levels needed to cut them are 10 for light, 20 for medium, and 35 for dense. The easiest to cut is the light jungle, then the medium, then the dense. The different types of jungle can be determined by the colors.

Light Jungle (32 experience):



Thatch spar light:

Medium Jungle (55 experience):



Thatch spar med:

Dense Jungle (80 experience):



Thatch spar dense:

As you're cutting the jungle back, you'll start to earn Favour. Favour is shown to villagers around the village to earn Trading sticks. Your favour can be found in the top right hand corner of the screen.
This is what your Favour meter should look like:

While you're repairing the fence, you will also gain some Favour, but not much. This is one of the ways you can use your Thatch spar's instead of dropping them or making them into skewers. You will gain some woodcutting experience from repairing the fence. The experience is listed below:
*Light: 28 experience
*Medium: 42 experience
*Dense: 65 exeperience

Trading sticks are used in Gabooty's shop to buy the Villager clothing, gem machetes, gems (Doesn't restock), Gout tuber (Doesn't restock), and drinks (Doesn't restock).

A trading stick:

Villagers

The villagers that give you the sticks are the ones that have sticks in their hands. Once you tell them that you've been doing work around the village, they will not give you more sticks for another 10-20 minutes.

Mucaily



You talk to him start the mini-game. You also talk to him to get into the woods.

Sharimika



He gives you the information on events and monsters in jungle.

Mamma Bufetta



She tells you about Spider on a stick.

Safta Doc



He can make you machetes. The machete costs:
Opal machete: 3 cut/uncut Opal gems + 1 Gout tuber + 300 Trading sticks.
Jade machete: 3 cut/uncut Jade gems + 1 Gout tuber + 600 Trading sticks.
Red topaz Machete: 3 cut/uncut Red topaz gems + 1 Gout tuber + 1.2k Trading sticks.

Rionasta



Rionasta, the local postmaster. First, ask him "What do you..." and then he'll tell you what he does. It costs 10 Trading sticks per item that you wish to send.

Gabooty



He runs the village shop, which will be explained later in this guide.

Machetes

To help speed up the time spent cutting at one jungle, Safta Doc has constructed Gemmed machetes. Each one is a little stronger and faster as the gem gets higher.

Opal machete:



This is the beginner gem machete.

Jade machete:



This is the moderate gem machete.

Red topaz machete:



This is the expert gem machete.

Enemies during the mini-game

While you're cutting the jungle, you may disturb enemies in the process. These enemies include Mosquitoes, Tribesman, Broodoo Victims, Bush Snakes, and Jungle Spiders.

Broodoo Victims

There are three types of Broodoo's: Blue, Green, and Yellow. All three colors are level 60, have high defense, and use weakening spells to harm you, not physical attacks. Using their weaknesses saves you lots of time and not so much moving. Once you defeat one of the Broodoo's, they will drop a Broodoo mask. These can be used with 2 Snake skins and 10 nails to make into a shield, or just worn as a mask. Below is the image, weakness, and the mask it drops.

Color	Weakness	Mask Image	Broodoo Image
Blue	Food
Green	Antipoison
Yellow	Relicym's balm

Mosquitoes

These can show up in groups of one, three, or five. One mosquito is level 13, three mosquitoes are level 17, and five mosquitoes are level 20. The amount of agility and proboscises depends on the number of mosquitoes that are in the group. The proboscis have no use right now, but there might be a use for them in the future.

Proboscis:

Tribesman

These will show up a little more than the others, but these are a little more dangerous. If you are damaged by these, they may poison you. The poison can hit up to 11 for the first few rounds, so it's pretty dangerous. Antipoisons are very recommended when fighting these, just for precautions.

Bush snakes

These are a semi-rare foe to face in this mini-game. These are more wanted than the others because these drop Snake hides. Snake hides can be made into Snakeskin armor, which will be explained later in the guide. These are level 35 and can poison, so watch out.

Jungle spider

Last but not least, we have the Jungle spider. These level 44 monsters are notorious for being a pain. When you kill these, they will shrivel up into a Spider carcass. Spider carcasses can be used with skewers and cooked to make a Spider on a stick. It takes 16 cooking to cook these food item, but it's delicious. To get the skewer, you take a thatch spar and use your machete on it.

Spider on a stick:

Villager clothing

To get these clothing, you must buy them from Gabooty's Cooperative shop in the middle of the village. You can also buy them from other players. All the clothing has no stat gain, but if you wear pieces or the full set, you will get a larger amount of Trading sticks from talking to the villagers.

Tribal tops:

Villager armbands:

Villager robes:

Villager hats:

Villager sandals:

Gabooty's shops

This is the shop that uses the Trading sticks as a currency, regular coins will not work here! The shop ranges from clothing to gems. The gems and Gout tuber do not restock.

For paying a fee of 100 Trading sticks, Mucaily will let you enter the woods where the Teak and Mahogany trees are. You can talk to him to pay or you can use the quick-pay option by right clicking the door. The logs are used to make planks for POH's or just to light up. There are Jungle Snakes in here and they can poison. There are two iron axe respawns in here, just in case you forgot yours.

Teak logs:

Mahogany logs:

As you are cutting down the jungle, you might come across a Gem rock or a Gout tuber plant.

Gem rock:

You will need the pickaxe you brought with you to mine this. If you forgot your pickaxe, you can purchase a bronze one from the general store nearby.

Gout tuber plant:

You will need the spade you brought with you to dig this up. If you do not have one, you can purchase one from the general store nearby.

Gout tuber:
Gout tubers are used during the Karamja section of the Achievement Diary, planted to grow Goutweed, eaten for a few hitpoints and energy gain, or traded to Jatix for unidentified herbs.

That concludes the information in this guide.. for now.
