Firemaking

Firemaking in Resurrection RSC is no longer limited to ordinary logs: every type of log can be burned, with better logs needing a higher level and giving far more experience.

This page covers what is new or different in Resurrection RSC. Everything else about the skill works as it did in the original RuneScape Classic.

Burning other logs

Use a tinderbox on any logs lying on the ground. Better logs also burn for longer.

Logs	Firemaking level	Experience	Fire lasts
Logs	1	200	90 seconds
Oak logs	15	300	110 seconds
Willow logs	30	450	130 seconds
Maple logs	45	675	150 seconds
Yew logs	60	1,012.5	170 seconds
Magic logs	75	1,520	190 seconds

Ordinary logs now give a flat 200 experience, where the original game gave more at higher levels.

You no longer have to drop logs first: use a tinderbox on logs in your inventory and they are dropped and lit for you. Firemaking then repeats by itself – after each fire you step aside and the next log is lit automatically – see batched skilling.

Firemaking cape

Firemaking cape

The Firemaking cape, bought from the candle maker in Catherby at level 99, has two effects:

• Fires you light burn for much longer – twice as long for ordinary logs, and five and a half minutes for every other type.
• Its right-click Combust option lights a fire where you stand with no logs or tinderbox. The fire lasts 90 seconds and cannot be lit underground.

Tanning hides on a fire

Fires have a new use in Crafting: a treated hide can be used on a fire or fireplace to turn it into leather, as an alternative to paying a tanner.
