This achievement is account-wide.

Once you complete the achievement, the blueprint is not directly handed over to you. You still need to buy it from Sparz Boltwist (Alliance) or Rezlak (Horde) for 1,000 .

Easing into Lumberjacking (Alliance) or Easing into Lumberjacking (Horde) is given to you when you visit your Lumber Mill for the first time and completing it enables you to harvest Timber from Small Timber and teaches you how to Find Timber. It is followed up by Turning Timber into Profit (Alliance) or Turning Timber into Profit (Horde), which requires you to collect 10 pieces of Timber and use them to place a Work Order at your Garrison.

Work Orders cost 10 pieces of Timber and generate 30x Garrison Resources after 4 hours.

At Level 2, you receive Sharper Blades, Bigger Timber (Alliance) or Sharper Blades, Bigger Timber (Horde). Completing it enables you to harvest Timber from Timber.

At Level 3, you receive Tree-i-cide (Alliance) or Tree-i-cide (Horde). Completing it enables you to harvest Timber from Large Timber.

The first 3 times that you will harvest Large Timber, Phylarch the Evergreen will appear to fight you. The third time you defeat him, he will give you a quest that allows you to recruit him as a follower. Assigning him to your Lumber Mill increases the yield of each Work Order to 45.

It has been reported on Wowhead that Phylarch will not spawn if you harvest Large Timber when you already have 250 Timber (which is the maximum you can hold).

In order to unlock your Level 3 Timber Mill, you need to complete Reduction in Force (Alliance), Reduction in Force (Horde), and Legacy of the Ancients.

Reduction in Force (Alliance), Reduction in Force, (Horde) is obtained after you upgrade your Lumber Mill to Level 2. This upgrade causes a Large Log to sometimes appear on the map. It shows up as regular Limber on your minimap. When you cut this large log, Weldon Barov (Alliance) or Alexi Barov (Horde) appears and gives you a quest that recruits him as a follower when you complete it.
