Forestry passport

A Forest pass can be bought from the item mall

There are 3 different levels you can enter (you are welcome to leave one and enter another one) for timber and mining.
Junior = materials levels 1 thru 4.
Secondary = material levels 4 thru 7.
Senior = materials levels 7 thru 10.

The forestry area looks exactly like Madeira suburbs.
The trees on the left side of the path are the lower level trees (Junior logs 1 2 3, Secondary logs 4 5 6, senior logs 7 8 9)
The ones on the right are 1 level higher (Junior logs 2 3 4, Secondary logs 5 6 7, senior logs 8 9 10)
Trees are labeled Hardwood (Oak, Teak) or Softwood (Fir Pine) but can be hard to read... you will get regular wood from both kinds of trees.

Important things to know.

The passport area can be reach from the Collecting field conservator who is standing near the suburbs in Athens, Seville, Cape Town and Zhigu.
You equip the passport in the same place you do your sewing kit, scope or alchemy bottle
***The timing starts when you enter but will STOP when you exit or sign offline. You can go do whatever you want while online, as long as you are not in the passport area the timer will be stopped.
You can reach your boat while in the passport area, no reason to leave to empty your pockets.
You can only collect what your study skill allows you to collect (the rules for collecting don't change simply because you are in there)
There are no monsters or PVP (perfectly safe)
Sources do not run out (chop the same tree all day long)

Compounding/ Creating Timber

First you must learn the skill from the skill tutor
(see below for more on skill tutor and stunts)

Ctrl+ a > on land tab > processing icon

You can create Timber using the same level in logs as you want in Timber (see chart below). OR you can use higher level logs to create a lowere level of timber by checking the "Do you want to replace" check box on the compound interface.

Level 1 Timber: 3 level 1 logs (Needs level 1 Timber-felling to compound)
Level 2 Timber: 3 level 2 logs (Needs level 11 Timber-felling to compound)
Level 3 Timber: 3 level 3 logs (Needs level 21 Timber-felling to compound)
Level 4 Timber: 3 level 4 logs (Needs level 31 Timber-felling to compound)
Level 5 Timber: 3 level 5 logs (Needs level 41 Timber-felling to compound)
Level 6 Timber: 3 level 6 logs (Needs level 51 Timber-felling to compound)
Level 7 Timber: 3 level 7 logs (Needs level 61 Timber-felling to compound)
Level 8 Timber: 3 level 8 logs (Needs level 71 Timber-felling to compound)
Level 9 Timber: 3 level 9 logs (Needs level 81 Timber-felling to compound)
Level 10 Timber: 3 level 10 logs (Needs level 91 Timber-felling to compound)

Compounding Teak and Oak

Compounding Teak and oak is done by the Material Exchange NPC in Seville
the Material exchange interface looks like:

It takes 10 Teak logs to make 1 Teak Timber
I takes 10 Oak logs to make 1 Oak Timber

Compounding Pine and Fir

Compounding Pine and Fir is done at the Material Exchange NPC in Seville

1 Fir makes 1 Charcoal
3 Pine makes 1 Charcoal

Experience and Skill

Learning the timber-felling skill and stunts:

If you do not know how to learn a skill or how to buy stunts, please read

The Skills System Guide
http://forum.vc.igg.com/viewthread.php?tid=43062

To level timber skill the fastest, go to where you can collect just the lowest 2 levels.
Though you will not collect any of the highest level, the experience amount will be greater.

Example
So if your skill is level 31 (level 4) go where level 3, 4 and 5 timber drops.
A VERY rough approximation is you obtain 60% lowest level, 30 % mid level 10% highest level
So you get much more of the highest level you can collect, which increases experience level faster.

Learning/buying timber-felling stunts

The level of the stunt "Log study" affects the level of timber you can chop/collect.

Buy Stunt levels from the skill tutor; Stunt tab

Always buy lumber study or ore study as soon as you can.
Always save one or 2 stunt points because you do not receive a stunt point when you reach these numbers, this is when they become available for purchase.
So buy the ore study or lumber study stunts at the following skill levels:
Stunt 1 @ Skill level 1
Stunt 2 @ Skill level 7
Stunt 3 @ Skill level 13
Stunt 4 @ Skill level 19
Stunt 5 @ Skill level 25
Stunt 6 @ Skill level 31
Stunt 7 @ Skill level 37
Stunt 8 @ Skill level 43
Stunt 9 @ Skill level 49
Stunt 10 @ Skill level 55
Stunt 11 @ Skill level 101
Stunt 12 @ Skill level 111

When you reach level 31 you will stop gaining experience unless you make it a phase 2 skill at the skill tutor.
If you have already made 8 total skills phase 2 and want to also make timber phase 2 use Timber felling promotion book that can be bought from the item mall.

When you reach Level 100 you will again stop collecting experience points and need to buy a phase 3 promotion book.

Quests that give Timber-felling Experience

You can get timber-felling experience by doing both the Ability and the Master of Alliance (Labor alliance) quests.
For Master of alliance quests please read: Master of Alliance - Guide; http://forum.vc.igg.com/viewthread.php?tid=22073

Ability quests are available in the following cites at the following levels:

City	Timber-felling
Alexander - Timber-felling Instructor	4-9
Seville - Logistics Instructor	10 - 21
London - Logistics Instructor	20-31
Dakar - Logistics Instructor	30 -41
Maderia - Logistics Instructor	40- 51
LasPalmas - Logistics Instructor	50-61

Experience with out working
You can also gain experience by not chopping trees.
You can use a 6 hour experience scroll from the item mall or a 12 hour improvement tome from the Voucher Exchanger in Seville.
You must stand still or be off line for 6 or12 hours when you use them. (you can move but will loose any experience you might have gotten in that time frame)
This scroll will not give experience while chopping/timber-felling. It can not be used with a double. triple or fourfold experience scroll. It can not be used with a small, regular, or great blessed pellet.

When you are phase 3 in a skill you must use the Phase 3 skill practice scroll to gain experience (while not timber-felling)
Phase 3 Scrolls are also availible in the Item Mall or at the Voucher Exchanger in Seville.

Tips

Don't forget to bring SP pots, wear a labor uniform (w/SP regeneration), wear jewlery with sp etc...

Drop Rates

I will add them if I remember to calculate them next time I chop timber.
