Of course, firemaking is a straightforward and easy skill to work on, but you will most likely need some practice when you first start out. There are a few essential items that you should also obtain before you begin. Items You Need
Building a Fire Now that you have everything together, you can either use the tinderbox with the logs in your backpack, or drop the logs and use the tinderbox with them. Or, you can now choose the option 'Light Fire' if you see some logs on the ground. Your character will keep trying to light the fire until it catches, and then you've got a hot fire! Once you have become better at firemaking, you will be able to burn a wider variety of logs which give even more experience. These logs from less common trees require a higher level and some can only be found in certain places in the RuneScape world, but they are also worth more than normal logs.
Pyre Logs Members have the ability to burn Pyre Logs once they've completed the Shades of Mort'ton Quest. Burning Pyre logs will give added firemaking experience. If you've already given Razmire, the Mort'ton General Store owner, Serum 208, you can speak to him and buy some Olive Oil from his shop. Now you need building supplies. Limestone Bricks, Planks, Swamp Paste can all be bought at the Builder's Store. A Flamtaer Hammer is very helpful, which you can buy for 13,000gp at the General Store. If you don't want to spend all that cash, just bring a regular Hammer. Begin rebuilding the Temple Wall in the northeast corner of Mort'ton. Once your sanctity reaches 10%, the fire in the center can be lit with a Tinderbox. Once it's lit, use the Olive Oil with it to get Sacred Oil. Pour some on the logs of your choice to get that type of Pyre Log. By collecting the remains of the Shades in the dungeon nearby, you can burn the logs on the Pyres around the village to maybe get a Key for opening chests. Some have items in them, and you may even find a piece of Fine Cloth, which is used in making Splitbark Armor.
Members also have the ability to light Lanterns, which are used while in extremely dark places. For info about making the actual lantern, check out the Crafting guide. To light a Lantern, you first need to get fuel for it. Collect some Swamp Tar from either the Lumbridge or Mort Myre Swamp, and bring it to the Chemist west of Rimmington. Use the tar with the Still on the Chemist's table, and then use the lantern with the Still to fill it up. Candle Lanterns just need a lit Candle to be used with them. Now just use a Tinderbox to light it. The better the Lantern you use, the brighter the light is.
The Harpie Bug Lantern is not used as a light source, but instead to defend against Harpie Bug Swarms. The Sapphire Lantern is used during the Tears of Guthix Quest, but can also be used as a decent light source and to attract light creatures. The Emerald Lantern is used in the Lunar Diplomacy Quest to uncover jinxes on the ship. It can later be used for a good light source. Speak to the Cabin Boy on Lunar Isle if you ever need another lense. Goblin Helmets
Other Items
Barbarian firemaking is a method of firemaking available only to members with level 35 or higher firemaking. Instead of requiring the use of a tinderbox to light fires, you use a shortbow or longbow of any type (this does not work with Ogre, composite, crystal or dark bows) to light your logs 'the old fashioned way'. To start using this method, you will first need to speak to Otto Godblessed who can be found southwest of the Barbarian Outpost. When you ask Otto about Barbarian firemaking he will talk for a while and then will ask you to light some Oak logs with this method. After doing this, speak with Otto about firemaking with a bow again. You can light any logs with a bow rather than a tinderbox. The level requirements and experience rewards are in the table below.
Firelighters Firelighters are a possible reward from a Treasure Trail clue, and are a Gnome "invention." You will always succeed in lighting these kinds of fires, and depending on which kind of firelighter you have, it will burn a different color. There are currently 5 different kinds of Firelighters available:
Movable Cooking Spit Are you the type that's always on the run? Do you feel the need to eat a snack wherever you're going? If so, the Rotisserie Cooking Spit is just for you! With this nifty invention (which can be Smithed), you can set up your own rotating roaster (over a fire) and cook either Chompy Bird Meat or Rabbit Meat. Simply use the meat with the spit, light a fire, and then used the skewered meat with the fire. Voila - one meal to go! |

Hatchet
- Any kind will work, but the better the Axe, the easier it will be to obtain the wood. Bronze, Iron and Steel ones can be bought from Bob's Axes in 
Tinderbox
- This is what lights the fire, and can be bought in any General Store.
Logs
- The 'food' for the fire. With a hatchet in your inventory or equipped, click on a tree to chop it.
Upon completion of the 
Of course, you are able to light several other items in RuneScape.
Some are just used in quests, while others are used for extra lighting in dark
places. Candles, Black Candles and Torches all require level 1 firemaking to
light with a Tinderbox.
