The name says enough, with the skill firemaking you can make fire. Fire is used to cook and for members used to see in the dark. Fire you make by using a tinderbox with logs. You can get logs by copping trees or buy it from other players.

Basics

Stand in a open field and make sure you don't stand on any objects like flowers. Then use your tinderbox with the log (make sure u have the right level log or else it won't burn). Now the log will catch fire and start to burn. Now the logs are burning you can use your food whit it to cook it. After some minutes will the fire stop and turn into ashes. The burning time of the fire is NOT affected by the type of log.

There different types of logs you can burn using firemaking.

Logs	Level needed	Experience
Regular logs	1	40
Achey Logs	1	40
Oak logs	15	60
Willow logs	30	90
Teak logs	35	105
Maple logs	45	135
Mahogany logs	50	157,5
Yew logs	60	202,5
Magic logs	75	303

Pyremaking

Mort'ton shades are the shades floating around in Mort'ton and the tomb nearby.
They can be killed and burned for various rewards.You must have done this quest in order to burn shades and enter the tomb.

The shades can be burnt by using pyro logs.To make pyre logs, buy olive oil in the Mort'ton shop and use it on the flaming fire altar in the temple. You need at least 10% sanctity for this, you can improve your sanctity by building the temple or killing the Loar shades (level 40) that are attacking the temple. This will give you sacred oil. Use the sacred oil whit the logs to make pyre logs. Depending on the type of log you will need different doses of sacred oil. Adding oil to a log gives you 10 firemaking experience.

Training tips

By starting at level 1, start chopping normal logs from tree. Burn the logs you get, and go on chopping till you reach lvl 20. When your level 20 your should start chopping oak and burn them too. Repeat this till level 40 and start chopping willow to burn. Keep burning willow logs until you reach 65 (make sure your atleast woodcutting level 60) and start burn yew logs. Continue burning yew till level 85 and start burning magic logs.

If you don't like woodcutting or don't want the spent time on chopping your logs you can always buy your logs. Take a 100k to a general store (like Al-kharid or Rimmington) buy a full infentory logs (3 gp each) and burn them, then start over again. Keep doing this till you reach level 20 and buy oak logs and burn them. When you reach level 40 do the same with willow logs. When you reach level 65 firemaking go to world 1 varrock west bank and buy there yews for 200-280 each and burn. When u reach level 85 you should start burning magic logs which can be bough in world 2 (members) in falador and buy them for 800-1000 gp each. This way of leveling is faster then the first but way more expensive.
