A Guide To Firemaking

Well, i am currently going for 99 firemaking myself, and decided to make a guide for you all.

What I Will Cover:

Logs to Use
Maples vs Willows
Top 5 spots to firemake
Bow vs Tinderbox
The BEST spot to firemake + method
Recommended Items to wear
Some Extra tips for 99 firemaking =P


How To Firemake:

Click on a tinderbox, then simply click on a log =]



Logs to Use:

1-15 = Regular Logs...61 logs

15-30 = Oak Logs...183 Oak Logs

30-45 (99) = Willow Logs...535 Willow Logs to 45, 144,679 Willow Logs to 99

45-99 = Maple Logs...96,096 Maple Logs to 99



Maples VS Willows

Maples = 135xp
Willows = 90xp

Willows = 18gp, instant buy for low
Maples = 35gp, instant buy for low

30-99 with Willows = 144,679
45-99 with Maples = 96,096

Cost with Willows = 2,604,222
Cost with Maples = 3,363,360

Conclusions:

Maples will always come out to be the greater log to firemake, and the extra 1M to 99 can shave almost two weeks to 99.

Willows are okay, at best, for short term firemaking and you are short on cash.
Maples are great for long term, and always will be =]



Top 5 spots to firemake:

1. Grand Exchange, with method that i will teach later.
2.Falador East Bank
3.Fist Of Guthix lobby - Great for group firemaking.
4.Duel Arena
5.Edgeville - Great for group firemaking also.



Bow VS Tinderbox:

Tinderbox > Bow

Faster, easier, better.



The TOP spot to firemake:

The Grand Exchange.
Using the GE method and perfecting it will result in over 160k xp per hour with maples, compared to the average 120k.

The Method itself:

Start near the east bankers. Go one step south from the south-east banker, and take one step east. Put run on. Light a log. As soon as you start walking west, run one step in front of the fire. Quickly light again. Repeat.

Reccomended items to wear:

If you are doing the GE method, wear lighter clothing, like bomber, robes, boots of lightness, spotted/spottier cape, etc.

If you are NOT doing the GE method, wear whatever you want basically, run energy will not be an issue.

Some extra tips for 99 Firemaking =P

Switch places while you firemake, a good scenery change helps alot.
Firemake with a friend or two, race each other, talk, friends always help
Listen to some music *cough* Led Zeppelin *cough*

And There You Go !

Have fun with 99 firemaking, it is very, very boring.

Good guide, I like the way you mentioned how many logs you'll need to 99.
Thankyou for making.
9/10 (Maybe a few pictures to give it the 10)

 

add guide for yew logs plox

 

nobody burns yew logs. it's not much more xp than burning maples, plus is way too expensive. it's not worth spending it on yews.

 

im currently burning magic logs

biggest waste of money in runescape.

 

Pretty good, make sure to include some pictures.
