skill:

Name	Description
Ancient Ring of Skills	The Ancient Ring of Skills is a rare drop that can be found while Error creating thumbnail: File missing Fishing. It increases the XP gained from non-combat skills by 8%.
Firemaking Skillcape	The Firemaking Skillcape provides a +5% boost to XP gained in any skill when worn. While this cannot be used for training before Error creating thumbnail: File missing Level 99, it may still prove beneficial if training to a higher virtual skill level such as 120.
Pyro	The Firemaking pet provides a +1% boost to XP gained in any skill.
Book of Scholars	The Book of Scholars provides a +3% boost to XP gained in any skill when worn.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Art of Control	After beating the Error creating thumbnail: File missing Fire God Dungeon players can purchase Art of Control, which decreases the time per action for Firemaking and Smithing by 15%.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Devil	A high level Error creating thumbnail: File missing Summoning familiar, which reduces the burn time of logs by 5% of the base burn time when active.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Monkey Bars	When built, this obstacle provides a 4% reduction to the base burn time of logs.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Stepping Stones	When built, this obstacle provides a +3% boost to Firemaking XP gained.

Players should also consider utilising the Crown of Rhaelyx and Agility obstacles which provide a chance to preserve resources. While this will not reduce the time spent training

Firemaking

, it will reduce the amount of time required to gather logs in preparation of any Firemaking training.

Bonfires

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.

Instead of lighting bonfires manually, players may also choose to use Controlled Heat Potions, which will relight bonfires for free after the first has been lit.

Log	Bonfire Bonus XP	Error creating thumbnail: File missing Level	Time	Potion Doses p/hr
Normal Logs	5%	1	20 secs	180
Oak Logs	10%	10	30 secs	120
Willow Logs	15%	25	40 secs	90
Teak Logs	20%	35	50 secs	72
Maple Logs	25%	45	1 min	60
Mahogany Logs	30%	55	1 min 10 secs	51.4
Yew Logs	35%	60	1 min 20 secs	45
Magic Logs	40%	75	1 min 30 secs	40
Redwood Logs	45%	90	1 min 40 secs	36

Strategy: Level 1-99

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 the Controlled Heat Potion 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 Boosts).
• 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 or one of the many 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

Woodcutting

or otherwise, then consider burning Yew Logs instead.
