Yew logs are highly profitable because there is high demand for them. Players often use these logs for Fletching and Firemaking.
The best pay-to-play place to chop yew trees is within the Woodcutting Guild. Should the guild be too busy, pay-to-play players can also chop yews west of Catherby by the flaxfield or south of the Seers' Village bank in the church graveyard. Free players can cut them behind Varrock Palace or at the Edgeville ruins. Depending on levels, players can chop 130-220 yew logs per hour.
