Firemaking

Firemaking is a skill that can be used to set objects like logs on fire and to set fire to light-producing items like lanterns. light. The current minimum requirement to be ranked (at rank 2,000,000) on the hiscores for Firemaking is level 46. For players who buy their logs, training to level 99 firemaking should cost no more than 3,500,000 coins if maples are burned (but more if higher level logs are burned). A cheaper way to achieve 99 fire making is buy 150,000 willow which is costs around 2.8 million gold coins.

Firemaking is often trained so that players can do quests or minigames that require a certain level of the skill. A number of members' Quests with good rewards require firemaking skills, such as As A first resort, Recipe for Disaster and Desert Treasure, to name just a few. Similarly, firemaking-oriented minigames with good rewards include Shades of Mort'ton and All fired up. Also, after completing the Legacy of seergaze quest, players can hunt down the Vyrewatch and burn their Vyre Corpses for rewards. Another use for firemaking is the ability to make a fire and cook things like meat and fish on the spot, such as when low-level players fight Giant rats, cook the rat meat and then consume it to heal hitpoints. However, any fire will suffice, so a high firemaking level is not necessary for cooking.

Unlike its related skill, Woodcutting, firemaking in its typical usage of burning logs is not a very profitable profession. The end result of making fires is a heap of Ashes. Ashes do sell on Grand Exchange, but they sell slowly and for little money, as they can very often be obtained for free just by passing the exchange or a busy bank where players are training firemaking and leaving the ashes on the ground. Many players dislike firemaking because of this and consider it one of the least useful skills in. However, the logs that players can burn give relatively large amounts of experience, so it is essentially an easy skill to raise. Many players consider this the second easiest skill to raise (the first being cooking).
