This is the Regular Firemaking Guide, the guide for Ironman/ Hardcore Ironman players is found Here.

Firemaking is a skill used to light fires. It is the companion skill of Woodcutting. At the moment Firemaking is almost useless as there are no real benefits to levelling it up.

Getting the Supplies

To train Firemaking all you need is a tinderbox and the logs that you are lighting.

You can get your tinderbox at the Edgeville General Store for 1gp

As for the logs, there are three ways to obtain them.

Chop them yourself using the Woodcutting Skill.
Buy logs from other players.
Completing the 'Make the Cut' task by reaching 99 Woodcutting. (Can only be done once)

Experience Table

Firemaking is very simple. All you need to do is click on the tinderbox and then click on the log that you want to burn, you may also click the log first and then the tinderbox, that really doesn't matter.

Log Type	Levels	XP Gain	XP Gain with Brawlers
Log	1-15	1.959	3.918
Oak Log	15-30	2.475	4.950
Willow Log	30-45	3.383	6.766
Maple Log	45-60	4.537	9.074
Yew Log	60-75	5.500	11.000
Magic Log	75-99	6.600	13.200

Note: When you reach level 99, xp will get reduced by half.

You would need to burn 62.322 Magic Logs in order to achieve 200 million Firemaking Experience, from level 99.

Players can also gain experience from using an Inferno Adze while woodcutting. When using the Adze, players have a 1/3 chance of gaining burning experience for the type of log they are cutting.

Bonfires

Bonfires give 0.8 times XP so regular firemaking is more xp, but alot more intensive. It also allows you to boost your HP 30% higher than your max hp! (this will lower by time like usual stat boosts) Bonfires will ALWAYS use every log in your inventory, of the log type that you used.

Log Type	Levels	XP Gain	XP Gain with Brawlers
Log	1-15	1.566	3.132
Oak Log	15-30	1.980	3.960
Willow Log	30-45	2.706	4.412
Maple Log	45-60	3.630	7.260
Yew Log	60-75	4.400	8.800
Magic Log	75-99	5.280	10.560

Note: When you reach level 99, xp will get reduced by half.

When bonfiring, you would need to burn 77.903 Magic Logs in order to achieve 200 million Firemaking Experience, from level 99.

Tips

Find an area close to a bank with a large empty space so you can light fires without having to walk around obstacles. An example of a good place to train is the Grand Exchange.
Have your inventory set up like the picture shown below, this way you can click on the last Log in your inventory and your tinderbox repeatedly, without having to click on each Log.
