Saslfraz Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Not content with updating one skill this month, we've decided to reignite Firemaking too. In Varrock, King Roald has become increasingly wary of the evil eyes casting greedy looks at his city, so he'll be taking precautions: fourteen warning beacons, running from the River Salve to the western end of the Wilderness. The problem is, no one will be available to test them out, so - surprise, surprise - you'll become the most suitable candidate. So begins All Fired Up, a sizzling new quest that acts as a simple and very short tutorial for beacon lighting. What can you do with large cauldrons full of sticks, you may ask? Well, your task, if you should choose to accept it, will be to light as many as possible at one time, offering you an entertaining and alternative method for training your Firemaking - oh, and the rewards will make you the toast of firemakers everywhere... What do you think of the Firemaking update coming this month? How do you think it'll change firemaking as we know it? Do you think it'll be f2p? And what do you think the toasting rewards will be? I personally think we'll be seeing a lot less fires around the GE/Other popular firemaking spots. Since it says "A sizzling new quest that acts as a simple and very short tutorial for beacon lighting I think the possibilities of it being f2p are somewhat high. Though hopefully the minigame isn't as dull as the Rc minigame. What type of rewards would toast firemakers everywhere? An equip able tinderbox, and you can just left click a log to burn it, no more use tinderbox -> X log. And maybe when they say the rewards will "toast firemakers everywhere" they mean it! Fire robes (Not lava, actually robes that are on fire XD!) or something close. Agree, disagree? Want to post your ideas about the quest/minigame? Go ahead and discuss!

Fire robes (Not lava, actually robes that are on fire XD!) or something close. Maybe they mean we can go set other people on fire... \ But its pretty questionable if it would be f2p, its a new quest, and f2p hasn't had a quest in forever, but its a pretty simple skill that could be for f2p....so its pretty questionable. Hopefully though we should get some useful/cool rewards, fireworks anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frakir_staer Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 No, it says that they will be the toast of firemakers everywhere. Not quite the same thing, I'm afraid. Early to bed and early to rise makes a man sleepy and blind in the eyes.Carai an Caldazar! Carai an Ellisande! Al Ellisande!If it's the thought that counts, why aren't humans innately telepathic?

And loot their stuff, who needs pking when we have pbing!?(Player Burning) F2pers got a quest not to long ago, learning the ropes, though..You could hardly call that a quest. But since it's short and basicly a guide the reward for it isn't going to be epic, except like You can now play the Beacon Lighting minigame 500 exp to Firemaking and that would be it. Fireworks would be fun, though I don't see how they would help you with firemaking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll probably be as long as other introduction quests, like Wolf Whislte (I doubt it will be f2p) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brinner Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Well fireworks could be set off and give more exp then logs. At least we finally get a fire making update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guywho Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 gosh this is the only mini game that i want it to be f2p not because f2p deserve all the updates we can get (we don't) but till the day the updates is here i am crossing my finger and i hope it requires an uber high level fm to get in (help motivate me to fm,only 46) but since i am f2p i won't get my hopes up and won't be sad if it is p2p because they deserve it more.

It'll probably be as long as other introduction quests, like Wolf Whislte (I doubt it will be f2p) They stated that the quest will act as a tutorial. What they mean is something similar to Druidric Ritual or Wolf Whistle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Adam Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 *looks at sig* 'Nuff said. Lumbridge is GOING DOWN. And the reward could be the phoenix familiar, able to light fires out of ashes for .5 the exp or something, or a one-click log burner. I'd hate to see a phoenix reduced to a log-burner though :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danqazmlp Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 ^ you just reminded me of the phoenix, i reckon that will be the reward to be the 'toast of all firemakers', the abilty to make them, or the reward for doing the minigame type thing will be the second for their pouch.

Good point, they did promise us a phoenix, which we haven't gotten yet... I think we can probably expect that next week. Never trust anyone.

TheHunted616 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Do you think it would be a good idea to wait for the firemaking update to see if it changes how fast for 99 FM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zox Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 It will be F2P, Jagex is updating F2P just about as much as they are updating P2P. As long as it's fun I don't care.. by the way, don't be proud you're 'pure' f2p. It isn't hard to not pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
