Troacctid Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 i think firemaking should be out there and jagex should really make it useful in some way. perhaps the ability to burn ppl. :twisted: congratulations you are now level 99. You may now use a flamethrower. :thumbsup: You can already do that. It's called a salamander. :P Read my blog | Follow me on Twitter | Track my XP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFlo7775ZNDSB Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I'm not quite sure if it was mentioned yet, but........ In addition to the fire weapons, how about adding a status inflicting fire effect similar to poison? think about..... you hit the target, then after a while the burn effect would hit him between 6-7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I dont see any reason why firemaking couldnt be used to make some sort of bombs similar to red chins, just using a different skill. Firemaking could be taken in a little bit of a different direction in that by lighting all kinds of stuff on fire you gain knowledge of explosive materials etc. Imagine explosive arrows or cannonballs: small modifications of existing ammo that could add extra devastating damage. http://www.runehead.com/clans/personal. ... clan=tipit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathmath Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 and when they came out with this skill in rsc, it was because there was only about 3 or 4 ranges in all of runescape, now there are 4 within faladoor. True. That was the main point of the skill. THey should add a new and useful aspect. Thoroughly retired, may still write now and again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casthewiz Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Instead of firemaking, they should turn it into the Arson skill. That way you can use Thieving to steal from POH's, and then burn them down using the Arson skill! :lol: No witty signatures for me :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albel Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 For some reason, ive always liked firmaking as a skill. Sure you only need to get it to the upper 50's and your done with it, but ive always ejoyed it. Would be cool if jagex did a update to it, like make flaming arrows, or combine in with smithing or something... Hope Jagex does decied to do something about it. -Haseo [hide=Quotes]Albel/JustinAlbel doesn't say anything anymore, just comes in, leaves an arrow and vanishes into the night :(Probablypractising some euphoniumYou nearly had me fooled, you fooler youEuphonium/10.9/10.

craven_range Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 =\ why wouldn't you sell the yews and buy maples to burn. you are literally burning money if you burn yews Burning 1 yew = 450gp loss And nets 202 xp That means it costs you 2.27gp/xp Burning 1 Maple = 50gp Loss And nets 135 xp This means it costs you 0.37gp/xp But thats not all.. Burning 1 Yew gets you 202 xp Selling 1 yew and buying 9 Maples with the money you get from selling the yew would net you 1215xp So for every Yew you burn, instead of selling it and buying maples, you loose around 1013 potential firemaking xp. You are loosing out either way you look at it, you are training it inefficiently How is this inefficient? you're seeming to forget that he would have to also burn 9 maple logs to equal the value of the 1 yew log. I did yew logs from 90-99 as maples were too slow (for me). Yew logs might not be the most cost efficient method, but they certainly are xp wise. Of course yews are faster than maples, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to work that out. Yews are far, far more inefficient than maples, if you would care to read on, i actually took time into account as well. If you take into account time to make the money to buy yews, then maples are actually 3x faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathdude777 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I think they should have lanterns that would take up the shield slot(similar to bug lanterns). They could have gems put in them(like the tears of guthix lantern) with different lantern frames made of different metals(finaly a unique use for smithing :D ) and would have to be enchanted similar to crossbow bolts. When enchanted they would have an effect similar to enchanted bolts, with each gem having a specific effect. The lit lanterns would be untradeable and would require various levels to light, with onxy dragonstone requiring 99 firemaking to light. Anyways, I think everyone aggrees there should be a use for firemaking, a real practical use. k1tt3h$ f0r t3h w1ns! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doryphore Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 The origianal use for fm was to cook becasue of the small amount of ranges. But now, it really isn't practical at all. A firemaking based minigame or as Deathdude777 said in the post before this one about the lanterns, would be a great idea and something useful to do with the skill other then make patterns with the fires =P.

re4p3r1 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 we should be able to set fire to our farming patches when the plants die instead of just digging them up. wouldnt that more fun? also burning our houses when we dont want them anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doomy Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 With fire arrows it could work as in it could burn the monster/player you are facing, kinda like poison except maybe a diferent effect. And fireworks, the higher your fm lvl the bigger the firworks when you lvl up? And of course fireowrks to use at parties :P Doomy edit: I like sheep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onisan666 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I agree, now that there are a multitude of ranges in which to cook food in RuneScape, firemaking has essentially become unnecessary. I mean, the only time I've really had an actual use for it was during Regicide when I fell into a constant stream of traps laid by those paranoid elves and needed to cook rabbits in order to stay alive (of course, this was before I found out there was a trick to crossing those traps). On the RuneScape suggestions forum I've seen numerous ideas on how to improve firemaking that regard the creation of fireworks, but I would like to see what other people say about adding a new branch to firemaking similar to this or not.

yokiki1990 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I for once love firemaking!

NickNoobPwn Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I believe you should be able to light a fire that will harm someone if the pass by it, stop them altogether, or, if they're a fire monster, HEAL them. Magic logs hurt magic damage. That good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dire_Wolf Posted July 17, 2008 Author Share Posted July 17, 2008 along time ago link9080 in the forums sugested bonfires using a full inventory of logs at a time That would be great. But doing that as low level, is kinda....making FM to easy. So that would work only if the skill requirements for Bonfires was 87 FM ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
