 This is the ironman / hardcore ironman Firemaking guide, the guide for regular players can be 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 leveling 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 two ways to obtain them.

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

Experience Tables

Lighting fires 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.

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	Ironman XP Gain	Hardcore Ironman XP Gain
Log	1-15	474	284
Oak Log	15-30	600	360
Willow Log	30-45	820	492
Maple Log	45-60	1.100	660
Yew Log	60-75	1.333	800
Magic Log	75-99	1.600	960

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

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.
