Byproducts

Firemaking

produces several byproducts while burning wood:

• Ash: The most common byproduct of Firemaking is Ash, which can be buried for
  Error creating thumbnail: File missing
  Prayer Points. Ash is a great way to kickstart Prayer training without going out of the way for it.
• Coal Ore: Coal is another common byproduct, but doesn't come in enough quantity to be of too much use.
• Generous Fire Spirit: These little friends can be cracked open to grant the player one of the following:
  • Burning Amulet of Gold: This effectively grants the 50%
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Mastery Pool Checkpoint early, unfortunately, earned from Firemaking is very low, even doubling it doesn't make it worthwhile.
  • Burning Amulet of Stardust: a low chance for Stardust while Burning a specific log isn't super helpful, compounded with the fact that Stardust is rarely the limiting factor in
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Astrology progression.
  • Burning Amulet of Ash: This amulet has more going for it, getting 50% more Ash can be rather useful, but the lower XP is a big hindrance
  • Burning Amulet of XP: The most impactful, this amulet actually speeds up Firemaking, which is what we're looking for.

Training

While Firemaking, the player has the option to light a bonfire at the cost of 10 logs. This action itself does not give experience; bonfires instead provide bonus experience for Firemaking when lit. Generally, this is not worth the effort, as the fire must be relit manually each time and consumes a great deal of logs.

Instead of lighting bonfires manually, players should use Controlled Heat Potions, which will relight bonfires for free after the first has been lit. It is not advisable to fully level up Firemaking without these potions, as the bonus is significant. It requires only

Level 20

, as well as Mahogany Logs. This can be combined with the

and

Summoning synergy for another 5% bonus XP, if available.

Note that:

• The With Bonfire section assumes that Controlled Heat Potions are active, as such the number of logs excludes logs used to light bonfires. Further, using Controlled Heat Potions is highly recommended due to the significant time and log saving they provide.
• The below table assumes no XP bonuses or burn time reductions apply. In reality, the time experienced by the player will be lower than is stated below due to each log's burn time reducing by 0.1% for each
  Error creating thumbnail: File missing
  Mastery level that same log has, and any other burn time reductions the player may have active (See Boosters).
• Log amounts stated are before resource preservation, so the actual number of logs used will be lower if the player is using things that provide a chance to preserve resources such as the Crown of Rhaelyx,
  Error creating thumbnail: File missing
  Astrology Modifiers, or one of the many
  Error creating thumbnail: File missing
  Agility obstacles that provides resource preservation.
• If the player does not have enough Magic Logs to reach level 99, then burning Yew Logs instead is preferred to Redwood Logs due to their higher XP rate.

¹ Due to the time taken to gather Magic Logs, burning them is only worthwhile if they have already been acquired. If additional Magic Logs would have to be acquired through

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Woodcutting

or otherwise, then consider burning Yew Logs instead.
