Just got all rewards.

 

 

 

Not sure if someone already got them.

 

 

 

looks ugly, ill use rune pick when i mine, and d axe when i wc

 

 

 

You'd take a presumably slower axe/pickaxe over this one cause it looks ugly?

 

 

 

/facepalm

 

 

 

it has the same level requirement so it wont be faster /facepalmcommonsense.

 

 

 

Let's not forget about the 92 fm / 70 smith / 59 cons requirement, shall we?

 

 

 

It's bound to have advantages.

[Jabuli]

Sometimes when you cut trees with inferno adze you burn the logs you get and get firemaking and woodcutting exp for them. So it could be useful if you're just powertraining wc and don't care about the logs too much.

 

 

 

I'll try mining with it now.

[lordkafei]

Could someone give the loaction of each beacon?

 

 

 

They are all on the world map, but basically it's along the northern side of Varrock and then it goes north along the west edge of the Wild.

 

 

 

These fire tenders are wanting things - the one named Ude asked me for a white fruit.

OMG I want it NOW :o

Ok put it this way, Firemaking, Smith / Con will not make mining faster because they aren't related to mining and wc, the ability to burn a log is going to make me better at mining a rock, this item is a convenience item, not an item to make it faster.. say if you're on a quest with a wc/mining requirement i would reach out for this item if i can be bothered training firemaking for it, but if i'm mining i'll just use a pickaxe because i dont think ill have a treerock hybrid around..

 

 

 

Dragon pick has been leaked, and also why nerf Dragon axes for this item thats free? it doesnt make sense.. so why would they just give this away for free?

[Kenneh]

 

Let's not forget about the 92 fm / 70 smith / 59 cons requirement, shall we?

 

 

 

The only reason there is a smith and cons requiremnt is to fix the ladders.

 

I.E smith = iron rung ladder

 

& cons = wooden plank ladders

 

 

 

The quest is based on fires,hence the firemaking lvl. 92 fm is a req to use it as u need 92 to do all 14 becons ( hence gettin it as a reward)

I'm going to take the hunch it turns iron ore's into bars sometimes.

if this is true i'll wc with this but granite is ftw ;)

Well I mined ~12 iron ores and none of them turned to bars.

 

 

 

Maybe I just had a bad luck, but I don't think it works.

But there's no other way to get to the fires, except for fixing the ladders, right?

 

So it's safe to say those skills are actually a requirement to get the item...

Jagex could have made it brilliant if it always burnt logs, and say you had an invent of 24 coal and mined 3 rune ores it would auto make rune bars or something like that (if you had the level of course).

 

 

 

It would stop willows and maples clogging up the G.E, and it wouldn't overpower mining/smithing (since you still gotta go out of your way to get the stuff and also bank them) whilst offering a nifty alternative.

 

 

 

It's starting to get a little underwhelming now, guess I won't be in any rush to get 92 firemaking.

[Qwerty1291]

Is the weapon combinable? Like, did you use a d axe with a rune pick with each other, like the slayer helmet?

[iceharwk]

hers the message for the ring

 

 

 

 

 

 

i did in this order

 

 

 

temple

 

edge

 

ge

 

varrock

 

varrock

 

rag and bone man

 

 

 

and had good amount of time left over, didnt use a terrorbird or any weight reducing gear

[darkjab]

Don't think it will be since it's a waste of a D axe's weapon stats.

[Triquos]

What's all this about fixing ladders and such? Where do you have to fix them and is it a once-off or do you have to keep fixing them if you go away for too long?

[Jabuli]

You only have to fix the ladders once. There's 3 different ladders.

 

 

 

Also you have to fix some windprotect thingy that reguires 3 jute fibres. Luckily I had some of them banked for situations like this :mrgreen: .

[Qwerty1291]

Hmmm, well I bought like 20 d axes thinking they're gonna go up.

 

 

 

Hope they do. :pray:

[Kietaro1]

To give someone the incentive to train Firemaking. Before this update the most useful thing firmaking could accomplish was lighting pyres or the mining helmet, which is my light source of choice btw. Now there is a point to leveling firemaking.

 

 

 

The interesting thing is that this could effectively drop the dragon wc axe market. I mean why pay around 2m for an axe when you can level a skill to 92 cheaper and still get an equivalent tool?

[Qwerty1291]

Do you need a certain amount of points and someone just gives you that tool? Or do you need all of the components and then combine them?

[Outsanity]

Do you need a certain amount of points and someone just gives you that tool? Or do you need all of the components and then combine them?

 

 

 

WOW.

 

 

 

There is nothing about combining tools anywhere. You earn the rewards from King Roald after lighting the required amount of beacons. Dragon Axes and Rune Pickaxes have NOTHING to do with it except for that it has the same mining and woodcutting bonuses.

 

 

 

Basically, your 20 D axes will actually probably go DOWN in price. Sorry to say.

[Avid43]

Yeah I'd get them Axes sold if I was you, people could start using this INSTEAD of an Axe if it turns out to be any good...

[killotroll]

Do you need a certain amount of points and someone just gives you that tool? Or do you need all of the components and then combine them?

 

 

 

I'm afraid the slayer helmet was fresh in your memory. But there is no combining items here.

[Michael]

Dragon axe = 61 wc requirement

 

Inferno adze = 61 wc requirement. Why pay for a dragon axe, when you can get one for free?

[cat666]

Hmmm, well I bought like 20 d axes thinking they're gonna go up.

 

 

 

Hope they do. :pray:

 

 

 

Why are they going to go up?

[Roseiah]

I guess I am going to have to do a lot of training to get the skills to fully complete the mini-game. It will have to be added to my ever growing to do list.

 

 

 

I am glad about the high req's for this mini-game though. I mean 92 firemaking is hard to get. Maybe this is Jagex's new outlook, make things higher leveled for the high levels. Well good for them.
