Bonfire

Bonfires are a new firemaking training method announced in May 2012 Behind the Scenes, released on 10 May 2012. It introduces the feature of being able to add more logs directly onto a fire.

This training method is available to members and non-members.

This activity also gives Strange Rocks, and Spin Tickets.

Other players may add logs onto your fire, and everyone contributing will gain bonuses to firemaking experience gain while adding logs. Cooking on the fire will also provide boosts to cooking experience, and even gain the player health bonuses depending on the players firemaking level and logs used.

Bonfires may last different lengths based on the type of logs used to create it. Bonfires will die away after a certain amount of time.

Fire Spirit
Training Firemaking in this way also gives the possibility of finding strange Fire Spirits who'll reward you for freeing them from their wooden prisons. The chance of freeing a Fire Spirit is not based on the type of logs used. Click here to see the known possible rewards for freeing the spirit.

Life Point boosts
After adding 5 logs of the same type, in a row, to a bonfire you will be given a boost to your maximum Constitution. The size of this boost depends on your Firemaking level and the type of logs you have used on your bonfire. The effect stacks with other life point boosts, such as those from Saradomin brews.

1: The first half of the table shows the required Firemaking level to gain a certain percentage of Life Point boost.

2: The second half of the table shows which type of log will give how much time of awarded Life Point boost.
 * Cursed versions can also be added.

Cooking boosts
Cooking on a bonfire you will receive a 10% boost in Cooking experience, however, this only applies to player who actually made the Bonfire.

This stacks with other boosts and bonuses to Cooking experience, like: the Dwarven Army Axe and Clan ring.

Firemaking boost
The following table show the Firemaking experience percentage boost awarded, for a certain amount of people adding logs to the fire.

This boost can be further increased by the aid of other items boosting Firemaking experience, like: the Ring of Fire, Flame gloves, the Dwarven Army Axe, the Barbarian Assault Penance horn and the Clan ring, though Summoning familiars do not add to the boost.
