Firemaking Introduction
In Runescape, firemaking is used to light several items which would make you gain some RuneScape Gold for reward. One of the most important is the logs. Lighting logs will create a fire on which you can cook your food. For firemaking you will need either a tinderbox which looks like this:
The Forge Regent and the Pyrelord familiars from the Summoning skill can also act as a tinderbox.
You can buy a tinderbox using the RuneScape money
from any general store. You can use it to light logs, lanterns, candles and more. You do this by using the tinderbox on them or by the RuneScape Gold
in your bag.
Bows can be bought from ranging shops or player made using the fletching skill. You can use them to light logs. You do this by using the bow with the log. The higher your firemaking level, the higher your chance to succeed.
The best way to train firemaking is by burning logs, but this way will cost you much RS money. So before you begin to improve the power of your character, enough cheap RuneScape gold is nessary. To get these you will need to cut trees and therefore firemaking is closely related to woodcutting. In the different sections in this guide you can find information on how to light each type of item and some information on the exp rewards.
Although there isn't an official firemaking tutor you may want to pay a visit to Wilfred the Woodcutting Tutor if you are just starting out. He is located just south of the furnace near Lumbridge Castle and will teach you about the different log types that you can burn. He will give you a free Bronze hatchet and Tinderbox if you lose yours.
Light Logs
There are a few ways to light a log, with a tinderbox or with a bow. To use a bow you have to undertake Barbarian Training.
1. Drop the logs on the ground, right click them and then choose the "light logs" option in the menu that pops up.
2. Click on your tinderbox and then click on the log in your inventory. You will automatically drop the log and light it.
3. Choose to drop the log and then use your tinderbox on the log ,this method isn't the fastest but maybe you prefer it.
4. Click on your log and then click on the bow in your inventory. You will automatically drop the log and light it.
Once you hand on the firemaking proficiently, you would gain more RuneScape
money for such much effort.
