Overgrown Idols

It’s been nearly nine years since choking ivy creepers were seen clambering up the stone walls of RuneScape’s major cities; but today releases a new type of Woodcutting training method, filling in a niche between Crystal Trees and Ivy. But it doesn’t stop there – this new method gives you the chance to help you fell trees all around the world!

This members only update, sees two “overgrown idols” unearthed near the Shipyard and the Jadinko cave on the island of Karamja. Requiring level 81 Woodcutting, there is the opportunity to receive some great buffs to your woodcutting prowess, showing that you’re the best lumberjack in the whole of RuneScape! When you discover the overgrown idol, you need to chop through the dense vines - either solo or in a collaborative team; once you’ve cleared the idol of the surrounding vines, can unleash the power of the Karamjan Gods resulting in a random chance to get one of the following:

- Double cut rate, resulting in overall cutting of logs being much faster

- 10% increase to woodcutting success chance

- 10% chance to get double logs (or cut twice on ivy/vines/crystal)

- 5% XP Boost

- Log auto-banking effect

For those lucky to reach the idol, there’s a lore book telling the tales and giving some insight into the elusive Karamja Gods.

So, chop chop, it’s time to get chopping!

Since the notes didn't say anything about it and reddit hasn't burnt to the ground, I'm guessing the 4 tick removal didn't happen?
