RuneScape/Skills/Firemaking

Firemaking is a skill that can be used to light things, whether they be logs or lanterns.

However, firemaking is considered the "worst skill in Runescape". Since there isn't much of a point to firemaking, other than to make fires, players see nothing of value from raising it, thus making many people consider it "the worst skill in Runescape". However, the logs that you can burn give very good exp, thus making it one of the fastest and easiest skills to raise.

How to Make Fires
To make a fire, you first of all need a log, which can be done doing the Woodcutting skill. Once you have a log, you need a tinderbox. Tinderboxes can be bought from General Stores scattered across Runescape.

There are two ways of lighting a log. The first way is to click on your tinderbox and use it with the log. Your character will then drop the log and light it. The other method is to drop the log and then right click the log and selec the option "light log".

Log Table
You will need certain levels to burn different types of logs, as explained below.

"Lvl Needed" means level needed to burn logs. "Exp Recieved" means experience recieved towards firemaking obtained by successfully lighting those logs.

Lanterns
In members worlds, you can light lanterns to see in the dark. These are used in some dungeons. You also need a level to light certain lanterns.

These items are members only. They are only used to see in dark member dungeons.

Here are some ways to raise your firemaking level if you're a free player.


 * Level 1-15 - Burn normal trees. There is a good forest between Lumbridge and Draynor where there are many normal trees.
 * Level 15-30 - Move on to oaks. A good spot is east of Draynor Village's bank.
 * Level 30-60 - Burn willows. These give great exp as they are easy to cut. A good spot is beside Draynor Village's bank, as there are 5 willow trees there.


 * Level 60-99 - Burn yews. Although you are burning a great source of money, this is the best way to get to 99 firemaking.
