Firemaking

 (F2P) (P2P)

Firemaking is a skill that can be used to set objects such as logs or lanterns on fire.

Firemaking is the companion skill of Woodcutting, often trained by players to complete quests or activities that require a certain level of the Firemaking. A number of members' Quests with good rewards require Firemaking skills, such as As a First Resort..., Recipe for Disaster, Forgiveness of a Chaos Dwarf, The Void Stares Back and Desert Treasure, to name just a few. Similarly, Firemaking-oriented activities with good rewards include Shades of Mort'ton and All Fired Up. Also, after completing the Legacy of Seergaze quest, players can hunt down the Vyrewatch and burn their Vyre corpses for rewards. Another use for firemaking is the ability to make a fire and cook things like meat and fish on the spot, such as when low-level players fight Giant rats. They can then cook the rat meat and consume it to heal life points.

Burnt-out fires leave behind a heap of Ashes. Ashes do sell on Grand Exchange, mainly to players training Herblore with Serum 207, but they sell slowly and at a low price, and picking them up can slow your Firemaking considerably.





How to make fires
To make a fire, players need a log and a Tinderbox. Or, they may use a bow (barbarian training required), a Pyrelord (requiring 46 Summoning) or a Forge Regent (requiring 76 Summoning).

Logs may be obtained by cutting trees, or bought from the Grand Exchange. All bows can be used except Ogre bow, Ogre comp bow, Dark bow, and Crystal bow after Barbarian Training. A tinderbox can be bought in the general store, such as those in Varrock, Falador and Lumbridge, for 1 coin. They can also be taken for free from one of these general stores.

There are four ways of lighting a log.
 * Use a tinderbox with the log. When a player does this, they will automatically drop their log and light it with their tinderbox.
 * Drop the log, then right click the log and select the 'light log' option.
 * Drop the log, then use the tinderbox with the log. This way is almost never used, but it is still available.
 * Using a bow on the log after the log will automatically drop and create a fire.

After a player lights a fire, they will automatically walk one step to the west if there is room there, otherwise they will take one step east. If both ways are blocked, the player will go south. If all three ways are blocked, the player will go north.

It is advised to have a clear path to the west so that players can go on burning logs without having disruptions. This would enable players to perform "power lighting" or "power firemaking". After players start one fire and have a clear path to the west for more fires, they can quickly light the next fire. When in the process of making one fire, players should get ready to start the next as soon they have finished lighting the first fire. The chat box will say "The fire catches and the logs begin to burn." instead of "You attempt to light the logs."

A fire cannot be lit just anywhere. Fires cannot be made on top of other fires, inside some buildings, or on top of certain ground features, such as on top of plants and ferns, inside banks and in doorways. Fires cannot be lit in front of a closed door (except in Draynor), but can be lit in front of an open door. Fires also can be lit as close as 2 squares next to the desk in the Grand Exchange.

Logs
Players need certain Firemaking levels to burn different types of logs, as shown in the table below. When a log is lit, it will stay on fire for a short while. How long a fire stays lit is always random, therefore Yew logs do not necessarily burn longer than a normal log, for example. A higher Firemaking level does not make fires last longer, either.

Pyre logs
Members have an alternate method to increase their Firemaking level by burning pyre logs.

To make pyre logs, players need some sacred oil. Sacred oil is made during the Shades of Mort'ton quest. To create sacred oil, players need to purchase olive oil from Razmire Keelgan in Mort'ton and rebuild and restore the temple which was in the Shades of Mort'ton Quest. Olive oil can be bought once the temple is built and players can light the fire in the centre of the temple and use the olive oil on the fire. The olive oil will then become sacred oil.

Next, a log of any kind is needed. Once a player has a log and sacred oil, they can then use the sacred oil with the log, which will turn it into a pyre log. Players can then light the pyre logs on the funeral pyres to the eastside of Mort'ton. However, players also need to have Shade remains, the remains from dead shades. The funeral pyres are the only place where pyre logs can be ignited. Burning pyre logs will also help players obtain a key to a chest which contains fine cloth, used to create Splitbark armour.

Vyrewatch corpses can only be burnt using teak pyre logs or better.

Pyre ships

Chewed and mangled bones are acquired in the Ancient Cavern which is a very high risk area. Use the required items on one of the burnt spaces (pyre site) just north of Otto's Grotto to make a pyreship. Burning a pyreship will grant the player a prayer bonus of up to 300%, depending on the logs used, the next time the player buries bones.

No experience is received when lighting a lantern. Some lanterns require glass, which can be made by using the crafting skill. There is a shop in Dorgesh-Kaan which sell lanterns and other Firemaking equipment. There is also a Candle Shop in Catherby where you can buy candles.

Also note that with Yew, Magic and Cursed magic logs - ONLY - the XP received when lighting a fire with both the ring of fire and flame gloves (together) is  greater  than simply lighting a fire with the Pyrelord's or the Forge Regent's +10 XP bonus, as shown in bold in the above table.
 * An orange spicy stew has a chance of boosting or lowering Firemaking by 1 to 6 (available as a result of the Evil Dave sub-quest for Recipe for Disaster.)
 * A Pyrelord (Summoning level 46) can offer a +3 invisible Firemaking boost and also counts as a tinderbox with an additional 10 XP bonus to every log.
 * A Forge Regent (Summoning level 76) counts as a tinderbox with an additional 10 XP bonus to every log, just like the aforementioned Pyrelord.
 * A Lava titan (Summonning level 83) offers a +10 invisible Firemaking boost but does not give additional experience per log.

 * Many special emotes will act strange while lighting a fire, such as the Around the World in Eggty Days emote. When lighting a fire and quickly performing it, it will produce a flying egg that drops on your head while lighting the fire. Another example is the Trick emote which will make bats appear around you while you light the fire.
 * When you try to light a log and quickly wield any item, you will fail lighting the log even with the barbarian firemaking.
 * When wearing any item of clothing with a cape, while lighting a fire the bottoms show through the cape.
 * Attacking a monster with ranged and quickly lighting a fire makes it seem as though the arrows come out of your body.
 * A glitch appears when cutting a tree then lighting a log. It appears the player is cutting tree then suddenly going east then a fire is made.
 * There used to be a glitch where, if a player lit a fire to the right (east) of a tree that attacked you, you would go onto the spot where the tree is. This glitch has now been fixed, and the player will take a step to the east.
 * Upon release of Dungeoneering, when lighting a fire in a Dungeon Floor, you could continue to relight the fire on top of the existing one.
 * As of the update on 9 June 2009, after lighting a fire, you wouldn't take a step west, but stay standing on the fire. After a few minutes this glitch was fixed.
 * In the Barbarian Assault activity one can light fires with bows. On the queen wave if one lights fires when she appears a graphics glitch occurs.

Trivia

 * After the fire's graphical update, few old fires remain - one in the Rellekka Longhall, and the ogre-spitroast in Jiggig.
 * A player cannot light fires on top of things like flowers or ferns, or in the middle of doorways.
 * A player cannot light fires in many buildings; however, this does not mean that fires cannot be lit at all in buildings. For example, you can light fires in the Miscellania throne room.
 * A player can light fires in most, if not all, caves and dungeons.
 * Once a log fire is lit, another log fire cannot be lit in the same square until the first fire burns out.
 * In RuneScape Classic, to make a fire a player must drop the log on the ground to light the log.
 * The 99 Firemaking cape, when trimmed, is the only skill cape where the backside of the cape does not take on its trim colour.
 * The image of logs in the inventory is 3 logs stacked on each other, but when burning on the floor, there are 5 logs arranged in a star pattern.
 * Firemaking is one of only four skills not used in Stealing Creation, the others being Slayer, Farming, and Dungeoneering.
 * Random events seem to happen more frequently when training Firemaking.
 * The willow and maples log are the only logs that is worth less than ashes allowing a profit made by selling the ashes, however this is rarely done.
 * In RuneScape classic, you could only burn normal logs.
 * It takes exactly 1 minute and 08 seconds to burn a full inventory of logs. This does not include banking.
 * If you use the Inferno Adze to chop a tree you will sometimes burn the logs in your inventory and get some firemaking experience for it.
 * When Firemaking if a player picks up a log on the floor as the light another fire. The animation will walk over to the logs you choose to pick up but the fire you began will automatically light.
 * If you try to light another fire while roughly halfway through the prior lighting, your player will move forward out of the fire rather than backing away from it. This can be done continuously. You also risk dropping logs on the fire you were just lighting.
