New World Logging Guide

Just as with any trade skill, Logging can be leveled up by continually using the skill. Logging is very straightforward and easy to level up as any area has an abundance of trees. Moreover, standard Wood can be obtained from a number of node types including tree stumps and withered trees. There are trees and wood types that only exist in certain areas but in general, standard trees can be found everywhere.
