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 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. It is however suggested to bundle the bamboo before selling, due to the higher value of bundles of bamboo.

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.
• Woodcutting urns do 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.

Update history

This information has been compiled as part of the update history project. Some updates may not be included - see here for how to help out!

• patch 23 October 2017 (Update):
  • Bamboo can now be used with a portable fletcher for convenience, but without generating additional resources. This is to ensure that the Waiko grill and portable range saving chances are not affected due to wobbegongs' comparative rarity.

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

• patch 12 September 2016 (Update):
  • The wood spirit conjured by the juju woodcutting potion now correctly delivers bamboo and golden bamboo to the bank.

• update 25 July 2016 (Update):
  • Added to game.
