Curly root

A curly root is an item obtained from chopping curled jade roots (83 Woodcutting required) within the Jadinko Lair and then collecting the roots, yielding 161 Woodcutting experience (80.8 for cutting and 80.8 for collecting). 4 curly roots are obtained per jade root cut. It can be used on dry patches within the lair to create a firepit with a tinderbox, or simply burnt on an existing firepit with a minimum level of 83 Firemaking. Both of these actions yield 378.7 Firemaking experience per curly root. You will also receive two points of favor each for doing this, which can be exchanged for rewards at the Offering stone. Strange rocks can be received doing this activity.

Firepits/dry patches are available at the south side of all three areas with attackable Jadinkos. (Contrary to the geology of this type of cave, the game guide calls the dry patches non-permeable bedrock). Given that the level 90 Jadinko babies can be left clicked on to attack, it is recommended that people seeking Firemaking experience chop the Jade Roots at the other two areas to avoid attacking the Babies by mistake, or you can weild a bow and NO arrows. This way if you accidently click a mutated jadinko baby you can't attack it.

Jade Roots are not instanced; it is recommended firemakers find an area in which nobody else is chopping Jade Roots to avoid competition for faster experience.

Look for the Jade roots that curl up at the end. If the root straightens then you will chop a straight root instead of a curly root. You need to chop the roots twice to receive the reward. (Chop and then collect)

Curly roots are the only flammable items that have a "Burn-X" option, making it ideal for Firemaking training.

The Inferno adze can incinerate up to all four curly roots at once for an instant 1600 firemaking experience. On average, it incinerates two curly roots per cut. When the Inferno adze incinerate curly roots the message in chatbox is: "You chop some logs. The heat of the inferno adze incinerates them."; however, roots are not logs.

When training at the first cave with Mutated jadinko baby's it is strongly preferred to equip a bow and no arrows when training.

The curly root is also one of the highest level firemaking and woodcutting roots to cut and burn.

The Ring of Fire and Flame Gloves will raise the earned exp to 397.6 when wielded together, but the Penance Horn will not double experience earned, despite being a form of firemaking.

When attempting to chop a 5th root in rapid sequence you can not chop it and get the message: "The root squirms out of the way of your hatchet. You have already chopped 4 other roots that haven't regrown yet."

When the player attempts to chop a curly root a second time with a full inventory, the chatbox message says that the player's inventory is too full to hold any more logs, even though they are roots and not technically logs.

Burning curly vines does not always succeed, and therefore the Lava Titan's invisible firemaking boost actually helps here, making it the second place where it has any effect, the first being a reduction in the Hand Cannon's explosion rate.

A test conducted at 98 Woodcutting and 97 Firemaking with full Lumberjack, Flame Gloves, Ring of Fire and the Inferno Adze yielded 34,776 Woodcutting experience, 333,984 Firemaking experience and 1140 Jadinko Favour in an hour, making this the second fastest Firemaking experience in the entire game behind only continuous burning of Magic Logs. Players with only the minimum requirements can expect about 25,000 Woodcutting and 250,000 Firemaking experience. However, as many fewer clicks are required due to Burn-All, no GP is lost using this training technique and Samaden and Ugune seeds can be redeemed from the Favour earned, this is considered by some to be the best Firemaking training method in RuneScape.
