Hey. I've recently seen a lot of people firemaking willows next to a bank. This means they have cut them themself, or bought them. In both cases this means they've lost 30-35 gp each willow burnt.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With my method, that amount can almost be divided by three!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ever noticed how many willows the shops have in stock? Well, I did. Mostly there are over 5k logs, so they are only 12 gp each! So I looked around the RS map to see the best spot where I can make one long line of fires (you step away automatically). And I ended up in Lumbridge. The shop always has a nice amount of logs, and there is a great spot to make "your line of fires".

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So I'll show you how to do it in some steps (although it's very easy)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1) Prepare yourself

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

First of all, you have to know this: Members aren't stupid enough to sell their willow logs to a shop. They rather fletch them first and sell them afterwards, thus making this method only for f2p worlds.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

=> Log in into a f2p world

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You have to make up how many logs you are willing to burn, so you know how much cash to bring (dont risk more than you need :D). Beware, 'cause firemaking is quite boring. You also may not forgot to bring a tinderbox. But even then, the shop has one in stock!!! Haha, genius, ain't it ;)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For all the stupid people out there, this is how your inventory should look when you start:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2) Go to the shop.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well, you need some logs to burn and the shop has a large stock so... Make sure there are enough logs in stock so they are only 12 gp each.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It should look like this:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3) Buy the logs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Do I have to tell you it's easier to buy them in groups of 10?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4) Go to the "special" spot.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You'll want to make as few clicking as possible, so it's the easiest to make on long line of fires. Well, ive found such a spot. I've also got a nice hint for you guys which will cause a bit less of mouse dragging: If you put your tinderbox in the middle of your inventory, it's a shorter distance to every log.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For the stupid people, like this:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The routes (yes there are 2) to make your lines are like this:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Why 2? Because, if you are doing it fast, there will be still be fires burning from your previous run, blocking your new fires. If you alternate between the 2 routes you will be doing fine

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5) Run back to the shop

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yippie, you just made one run! Thousands more to go for 99 firemaking :). But you need more logs, so just rune to the shop. The good thing its that it is just a one click on your mini map to go to the shop (see picture). Unless some "funny guy" has closed the doors...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

6) Repeat as much as you want

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

7) Some hints and tricks

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dont wear any special armour/stuff 'cause newbies will disturb you all the time making you loose time. I cant emphasis enough on this :D

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can make 80-90k firemaking xp with this method if you keep focusing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Its less than 0.15 gp per xp, meaning that 99 firemaking will cost you less than 2M gp!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can only do this in a f2p world for the reason stated before.

wow nice guide

nice guide, words out so jagex will change it now :lol:

For all the stupid people out there

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

:(

indeed a nice guide :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

too bad everyone will be there now.

Nice guide though! I want to light a mining cap! Only 33k worth of logs for it! so cheap... so awesome.....

i didnt think people acually didnt know that trick, ive been doing it all the time, thinking people would acually figure out that the shop has like 10k willows for 12 ea.

indeed a nice guide :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

too bad everyone will be there now.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Enough worlds :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, i think a lot of people will still prefer to waste their money either on willows, or yews (which are too be honest, superfast).

Same here, lol. Thats why i made this small guide

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh, kwimbom: I'm sorry man, but i really have to tell the truth. Sorry pall...

 

 

 

Although, there is still hope, just pay attention in class and who knows, mabye, eventually, it may go a bit better.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

:D

AHA! Muy smortnass is bak! You can burn on f2p worlds too!...?

Good, good, good guide! It needs to be in Leester's Box O' Wisdom! In fact, I nominated it :D

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Maybe add in there... it only works on f2p worlds really, lol, members actually use those logs.

First of all, please dont double post. You could have just edited your previous post.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Second: Ty for nominating :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Third: I am not a member, so i dont know what the situation is in p2p. But even then. If you are a member, you can still go on f2p worlds so i dont see the problem.

Technically if u cut the logs urself ur not making a lose though.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just because a resource CAN be sold X amount doesn't mean ur losing that muhc if you gather it then don't sell it

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

eg:

 

 

 

account has 1mil cash

 

 

 

cuts 2k willow logs

 

 

 

burns 2k willow logs

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

account profit/lose = 0

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

since no money was paid for the logs no money is lsot by burning them and out of all the skills fm isn;t generally bought for anyway as 90% of people only buy resources for skills where they make profit (eg buy essy 40ea rc nats or laws and sell for like 400ea)

If the guy would have cut 2k willows and sold them at 35 each he would have gotten 70K. When he uses my method then, and burns 2 logs at 12 gp each, he will have still 46k left.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

However, if he would have burned his logs right after cutting (port sarim is good for this) then that would have taken less time. But i heard more than one time that people cut them in draynor, bank them, and burn them later. And in that case, my method is working fine.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Its also focused to be cheap, cause yew burning is a hell lot faster, but much more expensive.

I'm not denying that ur method makes money, I am just saying your not making any lose if u cut ur own logs. It has no effect on ur bank balance only ur xp

Oh I see.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now i know what you mean. I hope you also know what I mean with "a cheap method".

well today i did firemaking, and i decided yew logs cut too slowly to burn so whats the next best thing? mahogany! ureka, literally i had gotten 18 nests in 2-3 hours. and 3 firemaking lvls.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i missed a few nests, sadly. i found like 4 rings and 8 apple 2 banana 1 curry 1 papaya 1 orange seed all in this time while cutting. not bad really.

nice find , but it sounds a bit boring lol

nice find , but it sounds a bit boring lol

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As apposed to other methods of firemaking....? lol...

i don't find firemaking boring as i do it with magic logs

I've always done this, too bad my semi-secret is out now.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

:cry:

you sure people arnt doing it just to get 50 fm for desert treasure cuz thats what i did right there

 

For all the stupid people out there

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

:(

dont whine about being stupid, i enjoy it so much! :D

great usage of words, Excellent guide

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I will support you if you consider to make more guides

Yay, I got about 60k exp like this, it's not all that bad, and it was cheap, only like 36k gp. :D

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And the noobs are funny, lol. Annoying when they follow/trade spam you... or ask you lots of questions because you're high lvl... but they're funny. I reported like 3 really serious offenders and saw 2 ppl die to goblins! lol.... The guy was like "wow, that one got me down to one hp, watch me kill this next one!" (while he had no armor, but like an entire noob fortune with leather boots and gloves and runes and everything they carry, lol, though his speak had lots of typos).
