Hey runescape community. I am currently going for 99 firemaking. As you all know that could get expensive. I have spent all my money on maple logs and I am about to run out soon. I came here to see if there was anyone that could help me out with getting maple logs or money. I really want to keep going with firemaking without having to spend a lot of time on other things. So if there is anyone that could help me out with getting money or logs please add me on runescape. My username is (ekkelisa) Currently lvl 63 firemaking. Been doing it for 2 days. Thanks for your time.

I wear dragon (or) with a lantern, d hatchet, a ammy of fury and a robin hood hat with my fletching cape. any other good ideas?

Higher level hatchets can be brought from other players or on the Grand Exchange. NPC stores such as Bob's Brilliant Axes in Lumbridge carry higher level hatchets as well, but may be more expensive. It is recommended to buy a higher level hatchet as soon as you have the level to do so. The logs you've cut so far should help your funds. <!-- chart table generated at www.isdntek.com/tagbot/grids.htm --> <table cellspacing=4 cellpadding=5 border=1 style="background-color:#FFFFFF;"> <!-- row 0 --> <tr><td class="grdhdr">Picture </td><td class="grdhdr">Hatchet </td><td class="grdhdr">Woodcutting Level </td><td class="grdhdr">Smithing Level to Make </td></tr> <!-- row 1 --> <tr><td class="grdhdr"><a href="http://tinypic.com?ref=11vs19j" target="_blank"><img src="http://i45.tinypic.com/11vs19j.gif" border="0" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic"></a> </td><td class="grdbdy">Bronze </td><td class="grdbdy">1 </td><td class="grdbdy">1 </td></tr> <!-- row 2 --> <tr><td class="grdhdr"><a href="http://tinypic.com?ref=30l31uh" target="_blank"><img src="http://i49.tinypic.com/30l31uh.gif" border="0" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic"></a> </td><td class="grdbdy">Iron </td><td class="grdbdy">1 </td><td class="grdbdy">16 </td></tr> <!-- row 3 --> <tr><td class="grdhdr"><a href="http://tinypic.com?ref=3345b1v" target="_blank"><img src="http://i47.tinypic.com/3345b1v.gif" border="0" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic"></a> </td><td class="grdbdy">Steel </td><td class="grdbdy">6 </td><td class="grdbdy">31 </td></tr> <!-- row 4 --> <tr><td class="grdhdr"><a href="http://tinypic.com?ref=2cxce80" target="_blank"><img src="http://i45.tinypic.com/2cxce80.gif" border="0" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic"></a> </td><td class="grdbdy">Black </td><td class="grdbdy">6 </td><td class="grdbdy">- </td></tr> <!-- row 5 --> <tr><td class="grdhdr"><a href="http://tinypic.com?ref=2q0r9th" target="_blank"><img src="http://i48.tinypic.com/2q0r9th.gif" border="0" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic"></a> </td><td class="grdbdy">Mithril </td><td class="grdbdy">21 </td><td class="grdbdy">51 </td></tr> <!-- row 6 --> <tr><td class="grdhdr"><a href="http://tinypic.com?ref=5yf3n9" target="_blank"><img src="http://i49.tinypic.com/5yf3n9.gif" border="0" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic"></a> </td><td class="grdbdy">Adamant </td><td class="grdbdy">31 </td><td class="grdbdy">71 </td></tr> <!-- row 7 --> <tr><td class="grdhdr"><a href="http://tinypic.com?ref=35iulxv" target="_blank"><img src="http://i47.tinypic.com/35iulxv.png" border="0" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic"></a> </td><td class="grdbdy">Rune </td><td class="grdbdy">41 </td><td class="grdbdy">86 </td></tr> <!-- row 8 --> <tr><td class="grdhdr"><a href="http://tinypic.com?ref=hurgxh" target="_blank"><img src="http://i49.tinypic.com/hurgxh.gif" border="0" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic"></a> </td><td class="grdbdy">Dragon </td><td class="grdbdy">61 </td><td class="grdbdy">- </td></tr> <!-- end rows --> </table> <style> .grdhdr {background-color:#CCBB99; font-family:arial; font-weight:normal; font-size:12px; text-align:right; color:#502020 } .grdbdy {background-color:#E8E0BB; font-family:arial; font-weight:normal; font-size:12px; text-align:center; color:#602400 } </style> <!-- chart table generated at www.isdntek.com/tagbot/grids.htm --> Training Strategies Now that you've got the basics, there are two roads to choose. Do you want experience, or money? If experience is what you're after, many players choose to cut lower level logs such as willows and just drop them after getting a full inventory. This is known as "Power cutting". If you are close to a general store, you may also want to sell your logs to make some money. Levels 1-15: Regular Trees When you start out, you will only be able to chop regular logs until level 15. Regular trees only give one log per spawn and most of Runescape is covered with them. Each log gives 25 experience. Don't worry, it goes faster than you think. You will need to cut 97 regular trees until level 15. Levels 15-35: Oak Trees Like regular trees, Oak trees are also very common in both free player and members areas. A popular place to cut oaks for members is outside of Seer's Village bank. Another popular place for members is outside of Castle Wars. There is a bank chest inside the castle. There are only two spawns, but they respawn quickly and there is a bank nearby. If you are a free player, Lumbridge or Draynor Village will be no problem. Between these levels, you will be able to move up to using a Mithril Hatchet. You will need to cut 534 Oak logs until level 35. Level 35+: Willow Trees Willow trees are found near water. They provide fast experience and a decent sum of money in large amounts. A popular place for both free players and members to cut Willows is Draynor. Members may prefer cutting willows at the Barbarian Outpost or Seer's Village. Barbarian Outpost has eight Willow trees with a bank deposit box inside of the Barbarian Assault building. If you prefer power cutting, you may want to cut Willows north west or south of Rimmington. Level 54+: Arctic Pines (Members) After completing The Fremennik Isles quest, you will have access to an island called Neitiznot. There you will find Arctic Pine Trees. They can be cut at a decent rate with decent experience from level 54 until 99. After level 90 you are able to gain 90,000 to 100,000 experience per hour. These are not usually power cut or banked. Instead, players split the log by clicking on the stump to gain 43.2 extra experience per log. After making an entire inventory of split logs, you can deposit all of them in one click onto the pile. Level 55+: Maple Trees Maple Trees are accessible to Free Players and Members. They are not recommended for money or fast experience but are helpful if you want to gather the resources yourself to train Firemaking. The only Free Player location is a resource dungeon on the Daemonheim Peninsula. For Members, Seer's Village is the most popular place as it is right near a bank. Level 60+: Hardwood Trees (Teak and Mahogany) Teak and Mahogany trees are power cut for the most part. They are not commonly used for profit and Jagex placed them in areas away from banks. There is one Teak tree spawn southwest of Castle Wars with a bank chest in the castle and if you choose to keep them it is recommended to use a Ring of Duelling for fast banking at Castle Wars. Ape Atoll is a popular place to cut both Teak and Mahogany trees. You will need to have completed the Monkey Madness quest or at least get up to the part where you can use a Monkey Greegree. A Greegree is necessary due to the fact that everything in the jungle is poisonous and hostile toward you regardless of your combat level. The Greegree must be equipped and the hatchet you use must be kept in your inventory. After The Deadliest Catch quest, you will have access to a bank deposit box in the jungle which is useful if you plan on keeping the logs. In Tai Bwo Wannai, you can gain access to the Hardwood Grove which is full of Teak and Mahogany trees. You must have helped with the Tai Bwo Wanni cleanup and you will need to pay 100 trading sticks before each entrance. Level 68: Ivy Cutting ivy is a fast way to gain experience, but does not provide any money. Ivy is located on the north and east sides of Varrock Castle, on the north wall in Yanille, outside the south wall at Castle Wars, South east in Taverly, on the east side of the church wall in Ardougne, and outside the north and south walls in Falador. Each chopped vine gives 332.5 experience. Wearing a clan ring with lumberjack gear can push it up to 843 experience per chop. The only money that can be made from chopping Ivy is from bird's nests. At level 68, it is possible to gain 45,000 to 55,000 experience per hour and around 65,000 experience per hour at level 80. At level 95, you may find yourself getting 75,000 to 80,000 experience per hour. High Level Trees The next two methods should be used for money only and are not recommended for gaining fast experience. Level 80-99: Yew Trees A lot of money can be made by getting 99 woodcutting using Yews. The problem is that it isn't exactly fast, but it's your own decision. If you are a free player, Yew spawns are located south of Falador, Edgeville, or north of Varrock Castle. The problem is that most of those locations are full of bots, and the location south of Falador does not have a bank close by. It is not recommended to power cut yew trees. For members, Yews can be found in Seer's Village in the Cemetery, south of the beehives between Catherby and Seer's Village, or if you'd like a more quiet place, Near the southeast gate in the Gnome Stronghold. If botters ever become an issue to you as a free player, try hopping to a foreign language world. Members will find that The Gnome Stronghold Yews are not botted. Level 95-99: Magic Trees Magic Trees are the most rare and the hardest to chop. They are not cut at a fast rate no matter what level you are, but if you're looking for money they may be worth it. They are located south of Sorcerer's Tower, south central in The Gnome Stronghold, south of Lletya, The Mage Training Arena, and the resource dungeon in Varrock Sewers. Sawmill Training Whenever you grow tired of the traditional method of cutting trees for hours, you may want to try something different. Head over to the Sawmill to be assigned a plank making job and gain experience! The full Sawmill Training guide can be found here. Helpful Items In addition to your hatchet, there are quite a few items that may aid your training. Beaver Pouch- Cuts up to 3 logs from nearby trees. (33 Summoning required) Giant Ent Pouch- Gathers Oak logs. (78 Summoning required) Hydra Pouch- Use a Regrowth Scroll on a farming tree stump to instantly regrow it. Inferno Adze- Burns around 20% of the logs you cut and gives Firemaking experience. Lumberjack Clothing- Provide increased Woodcutting experience when worn. Seer's Headbands- Give extra logs and experience depending on the type. Strung Rabbit Foot- Increases the chance of getting a bird's nest while training. Woodcutting Urns- Collect wood chips and are made using the crafting skill. Once they are full, they may be teleported away for Woodcutting experience. Cape of Achievement After you've pushed through the long road, you will have reached level 99! Talk to the Woodcutting tutor in Lumbridge south of the furnace to buy your Woodcutting Cape and Hood for 99,000 gp. When performing the emote, a tree will grow in front of your character and you will chop it down in a few hits. Your character will stand on the stump while holding the hatchet on their shoulder.

I've often found that the ranged skill tends to be undesirable. Melee is cheap and useful and you can get fast xp for very little money. Magic is expensive, but incredibly powerful, and it's also got a whole host of non-combat uses, largely teleports. Ranged is a slow skill that you train at medium cost. It's got some rewards, largely things that defend well against magic, but for the most part it's not particularly easy or fun to train. With that said, at high levels it's very useful: I once asked the collective rogue's den what was a more useful 99: magic or ranged? Without a doubt, they replied that it was the latter: apparently with 99 you can "make bank" at armadyl. With Hati paws, I thought it was an ideal time to train ranged. I headed to Wallasakis with a friend. We both died horrible, horrible deaths. It was fun, because I learned something and it was a shared experience, but...it wasn't a good way to train. Instead, I decided I'd finally look properly into chinchompas, a subject I was relatively unfamiliar with. Red chinchompas are fat, exploding guinea pigs that you can catch in the western jungles south of the Feldip hills. You throw them. They hit multiple enemies. They do good damage. You get good xp. I'd tried them once before, buying around 2000 chinchompas for around 500k. I think. I'm a little hazy here, because that sounds too good to be true. Nowadays, 500 chinchompas costs 700k. Anyway, I headed to the mummies in the chaos tunnels and there was a player on every world I visited, so I headed to a different one. This was a german world. I logged in. I lagged horrendously. I could not activate my prayer. I died. I headed back to pick up my prayer potions and lost gear, but I couldn't recoup my investment, the chinchompas: those little things run away when you die, in a bid for freedom. Perhaps they all got eaten by Dagganoths or taken away by Zamorakians for experimentation. I really don't know, but I know I lost at least 500k and it put me off chinchompas because losing stuff which you can't afford sucks. Exhibit A: a Skeletal Monkey. Exhibit B: a Red Chinchompa, equipped. Exhibit C: a bot, hunting chinchompas. Not there? That'll be why chinchompas are so expensive. Anyway, nowadays with Hati paws I thought that I should train ranged. Wallasakis didn't work. Bandos' throne room, which I may cover in another blog, was poor ranged experience but fairly good money. I needed something new, and I decided to try red chinchompas in another location, ape atoll. Ape atoll is generally considered to be better experience but slightly more expensive as the monkey skeletons don't drop the various expensive things mummies do. However, given the cost of chinchompas currently anyway, this is a false economy: you already gain less xp per chinchompa at mummies, and you'll also gain less xp per hour because you have to lure the mummies and pick up valuable things, etc. Monkeys are simple: they drop nothing. Not even bones. They're undead, so in a flash of creativity from the Jagex team (something that is remarkably prominent on ape atoll) their bones transmogrify back into their dangerous selves. Some say you should never chin before 75 ranged, as it's poor xp. To them I say, you're wrong! Chinchompas are fantastic experience before 75 ranged, and at 65 ranged I was decimating the skeletons. Sure, I wasn't getting 400k xp/hr (which is very much possible at higher levels) but I was getting perhaps 200? The levels are vastly, vastly quicker to gain lower down as well, which means that you level faster. If I want to spend money on ranged, no other option is going to be as effective, and frankly all this boils down to is a debate of whether chinchompas are a waste of money generally. They're not. That's spoiled the story, hasn't it? Anyway, I went into ape atoll through the fairy ring, down the log, across the bamboo bars, swung along the vine, and exited the gate to the sound of the monkey chief guard screaming "open the gate! a monkey wishes to pass!" without a monkeyspeak amulet. It's a bit odd. "Ook aah ooh ah! Ah OOK OOK ah ook ahh!". The tunnels are deep and twisting, but when I got there I started killing the things. I ran out of food and antipoison. A ring of life teleported me out as I was slowly dying and I might have been silly enough to stay for a bit longer. 71 lp is not a good time to stay. I bought more rings of life and went back. This time there still wasn't anyone at the big corner. I started killing things in a wildly inefficient way, fanning the skeletons around me so that they would respawn. Protip: they'll respawn even if they're under something. A mage turned up, and started hitting the things too! I would have been annoyed, but I couldn't: he was a genuinely nice guy and showed me some key ways to train more effectively. Largely speaking: -Once you've attracted them all, stand under one of the roof slabs, *here* (it's a 1 square crevice in the rock where they can only attack from one side). This stops the roof from crumbling onto you so you won't take damage. -They'll pile up nicely on top of each other. This is a really effective method for training magic too. -When they respawn in odd places, step 3 steps out, wait, and then go back in. Fast and simple way to restore maximum xp. Oh by the way, I suppose it's worth mentioning that I was using red dragonhide, archer helm, eagle eye prayer and a ranged potion to augment my training. I thought it was well worth the extra cost, as I hit far more often with the latter two on. I might look into an aura for ranged (ie something different from Vampyrism) if they're particularly effective. I learned plenty of useful things and then ran out of chinchompas. I went back for more. I got 69 ranged (from 66 just an hour ago). I heard the cry of 'dinner', so I ran up the tunnel and turned into a monkey before logging out. Next time I log on I'll get 70 ranged, and then perhaps further down the line I'll be able to buy more chinchompas and get 75, 80, whatever. It's a really fun way to train! ~Helm Lardar~
