'''Axeman's folly''' is an ale that can be player made. When drunk, it provides a temporary +1 boost to the player's [[Woodcutting]] level, although as with most ales it also slightly lowers some Melee Combat skills. Note that one cannot drink an axeman's folly at level 79 woodcutting to enter the [[sawmill training area]].

Axeman's folly requires level 49 [[Cooking]] for a player to brew this ale, and yields 413 Cooking experience per batch when made. [[Brewing]] is a members only ability related to the [[Cooking]] skill. Brewing is done at one of the two [[fermenting vat]]s found in either [[Keldagrim]] or [[Port Phasmatys]].

The special ingredient used to make a batch of Axeman's Folly is a single [[oak roots|Oak Roots]] item. These are created by growing an [[oak tree|Oak Tree]] using the [[Farming]] skill, then cutting it down and digging up the stump with a [[Spade]].

The full recipe for '''axeman's folly''' is as follows (<u>''in the order given''</u>):
#2 [[bucket of water|Buckets of Water]]
#2 [[barley malt|Barley Malt]].
#(optional) 1 "[[the stuff|The Stuff]]," to increase chance of maturity.
#1 [[oak roots|Oak Roots]]
#1 [[ale yeast|Ale Yeast]]
#Wait two to five days
#Collect the completed ale using eight [[beer glass|Beer Glasses]] or two [[calquat keg|Calquat Kegs]]*.
<nowiki>*</nowiki>[[Calquat keg]]s are highly recommended, especially if the ale has matured. Simply by collecting the ale in a keg, the value of the batch will increase by several thousand gp.

===Common uses===

Players who are 1 level away from the requirement for an [[evil Tree|evil tree]] often use this brew. Players using this tactic should buy the keg, because it provides 4 doses in 1 inventory slot. This can even be profitable at higher levels, given the potential rewards from magic and elder evil trees.

It is not especially useful for speeding up training woodcutting, but can be used to attempt to gather a few logs from a tree that the player is just shy of the level requirement for.

It can also be used for a useful boost in the higher levels to discover an [[ancient effigy]].

==Effects==
*Increases [[Woodcutting]] by 1 for up to 60 seconds, but cannot be used at level 79 woodcutting to enter the sawmill training area.
*Heals 10 [[constitution|life points]].
*Lowers [[Strength]] and [[Attack]] by 3.

==See also==
[[Axeman's folly (m)]]

==Trivia==
*Ironically, as opposed to the Examine "This might help me chop harder.", the brew lowers your [[Strength]] by 3, which would weaken your character and their chopping ability. However, Strength does not affect your character's ability to chop as one would think.
