Golden bamboo is a resource obtained from chopping golden bamboo stalks found on Uncharted Isles. Chopping the golden bamboo stalks requires level 96 Woodcutting and grants 655.5 Woodcutting experience each. Golden bamboo is an upgraded version of the level 90 Woodcutting bamboo commonly found in The Arc. Golden bamboo may also be rarely found washed ashore on uncharted isles within The Arc.

Two golden bamboo pieces can be combined into a bundle of bamboo or tortle trap, requiring level 96 Fletching, giving 100 Fletching experience.

Golden bamboo can be sold to Zhuka (bamboo merchant) at the Bamboo Market 101 in Waiko, and to Alder (bamboo merchant) at the Big Bada Bamboo shop in Tuai Leit for 3 chimes each. However, it is suggested to bundle the bamboo before selling due to bundles of bamboo having a higher sale value.

Boosts

• Woodcutting boosts such as the Lumberjack aura and Invention perks will increase the rates golden bamboo are obtained.
• Players under the effect of a perfect juju woodcutting potion will have a chance to harvest double the bamboo on successful harvests.
• A Dwarven chainaxe's double resource mode allows players to harvest two golden bamboos on successful harvests, sacrificing any experience gained. This doesn't bypass the resource limit.
• Decorated woodcutting urns work with golden bamboo.
• Sana's Fyrtorch +6% chance of successfully cutting golden bamboo, 20% chance of receiving an extra bamboo and a chance to receive splintering arrow tips.

• patch 23 October 2017 (Update):

• patch 31 October 2016 (Update):
  • The log-splitting scrimshaw is now triggered by cutting bamboo and golden bamboo.

• patch 12 September 2016 (Update):
