Overgrown idols are statues present on Karamja and Anachronia, covered in light, medium and dense jungle vines. All eight sets of medium and dense vines around it in the inner ring must be chopped before being able to chop the idol. Level 81 Woodcutting is required to chop all the vines and the idol. Idols provide a leisurely method of training Woodcutting (unlike using Crystallise and Light Form, which require attention every few seconds) that can provide around 90,000 experience an hour with a dragon hatchet.

Successfully chopping down an overgrown idol will grant a temporary boost to Woodcutting of either 5 or 15 minutes. In order to maximize the duration of the boost, the player must make a total of 4 successful chops from the start all the way until the idol has been cleared. If no successful chops were made on the idol, or if the player only successfully chops 3 times while reaching the idol, then they will only receive a partial potential boost.

After successfully clearing the overgrown idol of vines, the idol and surrounding vines will reset after approximately 100 seconds or 1 minute and 40 seconds.

Buff	Duration	Requirements
Full	15 minutes	4 successful cutting actions and attempt to cut the idol
Partial	5 minutes	Not meeting the full buff requirements, but making at least 1 successful cutting action

A full potential boost is 15 minutes (4 or more successful chops including an attempt on the idol). A partial potential boost is 5 minutes (3 or fewer successful chops, or 4 successful chops and no attempt on the idol). In order to reach the buff, a minimum of 125 successful chops have to be performed (1 light, 4 medium, 4 dense, and 1 idol). Light jungle vines have 5 hardness, requiring 5 successful chops to be cleared. A medium vine has 10, a dense vine has 15, and the idol has 20.

Object	Successful cuts needed
Light jungle vine	5
Medium jungle vine	10
Dense jungle vine	15
Overgrown idol	20

A helpful tip is to chop only one light jungle vine required to access the interior vines. Once the idol has been chopped down, the player should return to the remaining light vines rather than standing around waiting for the idol to respawn.

If the idol is left too long, the vines will reset, forcing the player away from the idol.

There is a 10% increase to the number of Sentinel fragments when chopping down an overgrown idol or its surrounding vines.

Locations

Overgrown idols can be found in these locations:

Location	Members	Amount	Requirements
Karamja		2	N/A
Anachronia		2	N/A

Karamja

The fastest way to navigate to the Karamja idols is to tune a Skill portal in the Max Guild garden portal to "Overgrown Idols"; this teleport can then be accessed through a grace of the elves. Players may enter the garden if they have level 99 in at least one skill or are able to wear the Quest Cape. The portal teleports players to the overgrown idol spot, north of the Jadinko Lair.

Alternate means of transportation:

• Gnome glider to Gandius, takes the player very close to the first idol
• Juju teleport spiritbag, takes the player close to the second idol
• Max Guild teleport to the Jadinko lair, the second idol is close to the entrance
• Fairy ring code DKP (near the Shaikahan), takes the player relatively close to the first idol
• Using the Nature's sentinel outfit teleport option (option 6 on the second page of locations)

Anachronia

Overgrown Idol locations are southeast of the Herby Werby Distraction and Diversion. Look for the wood cutting icons on the World Map. Hovering on them will display Overgrown Idol information. The fastest way to navigate to the idols is using an Ancient seed to teleport to Herby Werby, and then heading southeast. Otherwise, players can navigate the Anachronia Agility Course to get here, either from the base camp or the Slayer cape teleport to Laniakea in southeast Anachronia.

Experience

This article or section is incomplete and could do with improvement. Reason: Could use information about experience per hour at different levels and such. You can discuss this issue on the talk page or edit this page to improve it.

Chopping the vines and the idol yield 315 base experience for each successful cut. See the woodcutting training guide for helpful woodcutting equipment. A good setup for overgrown idols is

• Imcando hatchet with Honed 6 and Wise 4 is the best hatchet for overgrown idols. If it's level 20, you can bring an XP Capacitor 5000 to make a bit of money.
• Sana's fyrtorch. Note that Wise is usually on the off-hand, but since Sana's fyrtorch is unaugmentable and Furnace/Refined isn't needed, it should ideally be on the hatchet.
• Nature's sentinel outfit with lumberjack outfit owned. Alternatives include a lower sentinel outfit, the lumberjack outfit itself, or Silverhawk boots if Agility training is needed.
• Legendary lumberjack aura. Can be extended with vis wax and/or reset with premier artefact to maximize uptime. Alternatively can use legendary wisdom aura or desert pantheon aura with Wisdom of Scabaras.
• Decorated woodcutting urn with urn enhancer.
• Perfect juju woodcutting potions.
• Beaver familiar. If bringing multiple pouches to prolong trips, you can bring a super restore, summoning potion, or Ardougne cloak 4 'Summoning restore' option to restore summoning points before refreshing your familiar.
• Ring of Whispers.
• Inspire Effort.
• Temporary skill boosts such as god banner (+2 for 30 minutes), super woodcutting potion (+5), and advanced pulse core explosions (+11 at 99). Note that upkeeping with woodcutting potions can reduce how afk the activity is.
• Dwarven chainaxe on xp mode.
• Grace of the elves and Brooch of the Gods don't boost xp, but can provide seren spirits and divine blessings.

You could additionally use woodcutting accumulators and crystal skillchompas, but they're high gp/xp so not recommended unless you have a lot of cash. Note that log-splitting scrimshaws and Crystallise don't work at overgrown idols. Also note that the Furnace perk does not work here, and Refined could be used, but depleting the vines helps get the buffs, so Wise may be better.

At level 92 Woodcutting with Decorated Urns, Lumberjack outfit, and Crystal Hatchet, you can get 195K xp/hr.

When the Roar of Osseous is active, experience earned from cutting Overgrown Idols on Anachronia is increased by 25%.

Boosts

It is not necessary to clear all vines to reach the idol. Only one light vine needs to be cut to reach the inner ring, and only the inner ring of medium and dense vines needs to be cleared. Idols may give strange and golden rocks. Like other trees, chopping vines may drop a bird's nest.

Once an idol has been chopped, one of five Woodcutting boosts will be granted, lasting 5 minutes (partial potential boost) or 15 minutes (full potential boost):

• Double cutting rate (2 ticks instead of the standard 4 ticks)
• 10% increase to woodcutting success chance
• 10% chance to get double logs (or cut twice on ivy/vines/crystal)
• 5% XP boost
• Log auto-banking

Investigating a cleared overgrown idol in Karamja awards The End of Gara-Dul journal. This completes the Meeting your Idols achievement, which is a requirement for the master quest cape.

The idol remains cleared for about 2 minutes and 24 seconds before the vines grow back.

Achievements

• Meeting your Idols ( 5) – Investigate an overgrown Karamjan idol to discover an ancient tale.
