Chopping is a Processing method which allows you to chop timber to create planks to use in further crafting.

Chopping: Beginner[]

For more advanced chopping (for example chopping planks into plywood), you need to learn the knowledge Chopping: Beginner from Lebyos in Heidel City by completing his quest Working the Ash Tree. The quest is a part of Learning Higher Processing Skills, which can be obtained in two ways: Have Gathering Apprentice 4 and get the quest directly from Ficy in Heidel City, or complete the questline started by the Black Spirit as you enter Heidel City.
The Black Spirit will ask you to go to Jemkas Wyrmbane, who will have the quest Because I Like You, which requires you to either have Gathering Beginner 7 or have completed the quest Go to the Northern Heidel Quarry.
Complete the rest of the questline to get access to Learning Higher Processing Skills and Lebyos' quest:

Chopping: Skilled[]

To unlock the questline that teaches you Chopping: Skilled, you must first complete Vatudun's questline and learn Heating: Skilled. Vatudun can be found in Keplan. The questline is started by talking to an unnamed villager in the workshop behind Adrian and getting the quest Excellent Magnate. The quest is only available if you have Gathering Skilled 10 and Processing Professional 5, and have completed all the beginner skills quests.

You must then complete these quests from Vatudun to learn Heating: Skilled:

After completing Vatudun's quests, he will send you to Murghed in Trent to learn more about woodcutting.
