Firemaking/Training

This article is about training the Firemaking skill. For the skill itself, see Firemaking.

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

Log	Bonfire Bonus XP	Level	Time Lit	Potion Doses p/hr
Normal Logs	5%	1	0 min 20 sec	180
Oak Logs	10%	10	0 min 30 sec	120
Willow Logs	15%	25	0 min 40 sec	90
Teak Logs	20%	35	0 min 50 sec	72
Maple Logs	25%	45	1 min 00 sec	60
Mahogany Logs	30%	55	1 min 10 sec	51.4
Yew Logs	35%	60	1 min 20 sec	45
Magic Logs	40%	75	1 min 30 sec	40
Redwood Logs	45%	90	1 min 40 sec	36

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 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, Astrology Modifiers, 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.

Log	Level	Burn Time	Without Bonfire			With Bonfire
Log	Level	Burn Time	XP/Log	Logs	Time	XP/Log	Logs	Time	Potion Doses
Normal Logs	1-10	2s	15	77	2 mins, 34 secs	15.75	74	2 mins, 28 secs	8
Oak Logs	10-25	2s	30	223	7 mins, 26 secs	33	203	6 mins, 46 secs	14
Willow Logs	25-35	3s	40	365	18 mins, 15 secs	46	317	15 mins, 51 secs	24
Teak Logs	35-45	4s	65	602	40 mins, 8 secs	78	501	33 mins, 24 secs	41
Maple Logs	45-55	5s	80	1,314	1 hour, 49 mins, 30 secs	100	1,052	1 hour, 27 mins, 40 secs	88
Mahogany Logs	55-60	6s	100	1,071	1 hour, 47 mins, 6 secs	130	824	1 hour, 22 mins, 24 secs	71
Yew Logs	60-75	7s	150	6,245	12 hours, 8 mins, 35 secs	202.5	4,626	8 hours, 59 mins, 42 secs	405
Magic Logs¹	75-99	10s	225	52,551	145 hours, 58 mins, 30 secs	315	37,536	104 hours, 16 mins	4,171
Total				62,448	162 hours, 52 mins, 4 secs		45,133	117 hours, 4 mins, 15 secs	4,822

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.
