Introduction

Firemaking is one of the most fundamental skills used. By making fires it is possible to cook food in extremely dificult times, when there is no use of a range.

The firemaking skill uses different types of logs to create fires. This skill aids the Cooking skill, because it enables you to cook food without using a range. It can also be used to light specific objects, which can aid your ventures into dark places.

To make a fire you will need a tinderbox and some logs. You can use one of the following methods:

Tinderbox				Logs

• Left-click on the tinderbox in your inventory so that it is outlined in white. Then left-click on the logs to use them with the tinderbox. You will then place the logs on the ground and attempt to light the fire.
• Alternatively, you can drop the logs on the ground and left-click on the tinderbox so that it is outlined in white. Then left-click on the logs to use the tinderbox with the logs.

Your chances of lighting the fire quickly, will depend on your firemaking level.

Tinderboxes can be bought from General Stores, occasionally so can logs if other players have sold them to the stores. However, for a more reliable way to secure logs, please refer to the woodcutting section of the manual.

The following table shows what wood types are available in RuneScape, as well as the level required to light them and the experience gained from doing so.

Please remember that this is not a members only skill. However, some of the items to light fires may require you to be a member. Maple logs are only available on a members server however, you can burn them on free member servers.
