Byproducts

Firemaking produces several byproducts while burning wood:

Ash: The most common byproduct of Firemaking is Ash, which can be buried for 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% MasteryMastery 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 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 Devil and Bear Summoning synergy for another 5% bonus XP, if available.

	Bonfire Bonus	Level	Bonfire Time	Charges/Hr
Normal Logs	5%	1	20s	180
Oak Logs	10%	10	30s	120
Willow Logs	15%	25	40s	90
Teak Logs	20%	35	50s	72
Maple Logs	25%	45	1m	60
Mahogany Logs	30%	55	1m, 10s	51.4
Yew Logs	35%	60	1m, 20s	45
Magic Logs	40%	75	1m, 30s	40
Redwood Logs	45%	90	1m, 40s	36
Spruce Logs	50%	100	2m	30
Hornbeam Logs	55%	102	2m, 20s	25.7
Grove Logs	60%	105	2m, 40s	22.5
Linden Logs	65%	108	3m	20
Elderwood Logs	70%	110	3m, 20s	18
Red Oak Logs	75%	112	3m, 40s	16.4
Revenant Logs	80%	115	4m	15
Mystic Logs	85%	118	4m, 20s	13.9
Carrion Logs	90%	120	4m, 40s	12.9

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.

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.
