WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

Perform activities throughout Havenhythe to find paintings, then dig at the location revealed by combining five different paintings.

Hawthorn’s Hatchet is an ultra-rare Havenhythe reward connected to paintings found while doing regional activities. The route is clue based: gather five different paintings, combine them to reveal a dig location, and search there for the forgotten casket. This is a long-term collection target rather than a predictable drop-rate farm. The hatchet requires level 100 Woodcutting to wield or use, so check that requirement before spending time pursuing it.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

  • Access to Havenhythe activities.
  • Five distinct paintings are needed to reveal the clue.
  • Level 100 Woodcutting to wield or use the hatchet.
  1. Pick Havenhythe activities you already want to train or complete.
  2. Watch for painting discoveries while doing those activities.
  3. Keep track of which different paintings you have collected.
  4. Continue varied activities until you have five distinct paintings.
  5. Combine the five paintings to reveal the dig location.
  6. Travel to the revealed location and dig for the forgotten casket.
  7. Check the casket result and continue other Havenhythe activities if the hatchet was not obtained.

Farming tips

  • The hatchet is explicitly described as ultra-rare, so treat the trail as incidental long-term progress.
  • Track distinct paintings rather than assuming duplicates advance the five-piece clue.

Repeat, collect and use

Painting discovery is repeatable through Havenhythe activities, but the five-painting clue is a limited progression step; the hatchet outcome is not guaranteed.

Common mistakes

  • Expecting a fixed drop rate: keep training and treat discoveries as uncertain.
  • Combining before you have five different paintings: confirm the set is distinct.
  • Pursuing the hatchet below level 100 Woodcutting: meet the stated use requirement before setting it as an immediate equipment goal.

When to stop or switch

Stop when the casket gives the hatchet, or pause the trail after revealing and checking the dig location while you pursue other goals.
