Today we will be checking the fire-making skill and the lazy player guide to level 99. We will learn where to stand, what kind of experience per hour and what kind of drop you can expect.

Firemaking

This is one of the most simple skills in this game. Although this skill is not as useful as other skills, the quest “making friends with my arm” will allow you to light up some Braziers, which are pretty useful and can give you eternal light or eternal warmth.

There are two ways of firemaking to 99, and they are the traditional way and wintertodt. Wintertodt is a bit slower in XP but you can have a chance at that cool pet or the pyromancer outfit. Other than that you also can get some bank loot from the chest and it’s pretty AFK.

Firemaking XP reward

There are a total of 5 firemaking quest that gives you a total of 19075 total quest XP

• The giant dwarf – 1500 XP
• Heroes’ quest – 1575 XP
• Enlightened journey – 4000 XP
• Making friends with my arm – 5000 XP
• Enakhra’s lament – 7000 XP

Items required and best way to burn

All you need for fire-making is a tinder box. If you are on iron meme then you will need a woodcutting ax. You can burn a maximum of 1485 logs per hour if you never miss a click at all.

We will assume you can burn about 1200 to 1300 logs per hour for this guide. The easiest method to burn your log would be in Varrock.

You will fill up your inventory with 1 tinderbox, a stack of Varrock teleport tablets, and the rest with logs. You will teleport to Varrock city center and start your log burning. You will always start from east to west, as when you light the logs your character walks west. Once you finished burning you will reach Varrock west bank and you can run back in and collect all the needed items for your inventory and then teleport back to the city center.

Level 50-99 Wintertodt

Wintertodt has official worlds which are 307,309,311 and 389. To get to the boss of Wintertodt you need to have level 50 firemaking. So just use the traditional method to get to 50 first. 

Your warm clothing needs to take less damage and you need 4 of these. All 4 Braziers in wintertodt world will be lit so you will take less damage. Before the fight starts, light the brazier, allowing you to get some XP. Stand at one side to dodge damage and start chopping off the roots and once full add them to the lit Braziers.

The attack happens every 10 to 20 seconds and the damage you take is based on your fire-making level, hit point level and the number of warm items worn. Brazier will shatter when clusters of snow fall on them so try to avoid it at a specific time. For area attack snow falls in random 3×3 spaces, you can easily avoid them.

Wintertodt Gear Setup

You can use a pyromancer outfit for warm clothing, primordial boots, a dragon ax, and a skillcape. I have saradomin brew, hammer, tinder box, and construction cape in my inventory to reset my stats in my POH.
