Alternitive (More Fun?) Firemaking Training method.

[nothnxtoyou]

Staring a grind for fire making 79 in the face:

• I could spend gps on logs and torch the GE for the 12 millionth time.
  
• I could typewriter the Coal truck tracks again.
  
• I could go burn up Teak in Tai Bwo village.
  
• I could go hack yews in seers village.
  

 

Since I'm not a 99 wood cutter yet might as well train that too, so the first one is out. Beside I frown at Fire making in the GE, I think it is tacky looking (exceot firelighters, they are fun to share with others).

 

The other 3 I have done so much I groaned at the thought. Then I remembered an article, The Tip It Times did the article:

 

Fun Comes Second? 11 Apr 2010 From the Tip It Times

 

Fun shouldnt really become a secondary priority when playing a game, but it does, and this worries me. Because I chose to have fun when I play, not grind out level after level, I have low levels and little money. Because I dont have high levels, Im not as good as the high level elite. So because I chose to have fun when I play, Im not seen to be as good or important as other people.

 

 

So I created the burning ramble.

 

Since I was in Catherby Bank. I loaded up my lumber jack outfit, rabbits foot, Dragon ax, and ring of fire. Grab a tinderbox and started cutting and lighting. Any tree I could cut and light was fair game. Trees, oaks, dead trees, magic logs, even yews (ugh, why I hate yews later). The rules are simple you can step north or south around obstacles, east if you must but never west. To move west you light a fire. I ended up finding Rosero, Did you know he sold Dragon daggers? Home teleport the on to round 2.

 

Round 2: Since I was in Lumbridge I added the seers head band (the 2 logs help in the dry patches between trees) to my inventory, dumped my bird nests in the bank and started at the farming plot.

 

Did I run out of logs? Yup, guess what there are a lot of trees in runescape, I got more. Did I run into things and find out that you can't light a fire in a church? Yup. Did I have fun? Yup.

 

Maybe I'll burn my way across the wilderness and see how many revs I can kill?

Found something New, now I want to know what a neverberry bush is.

So uh...I'm not exactly sure what the discussion was meant to be..

 

But I guess I will give it a shot. I do not like firemaking or woodcutting, or any of those types of boring skills (unless I am watching a TV show/movie, then I can handle it). I am with you that I try to have as much fun as I can, but let me tell you: I find it a lot more fun that I, in my own eyes, have achieved some decent levels. Although sometimes leveling these skills was boring, I find that the reward made it worth it to me and I got more fun in the end then if I had just messed around the entire time. My two cents.

So are we supposed to disscuss fire making methodes that arn't effiicient but are fun?

 

Personally i've done alot of shade and vyre watch burning for my fm levels. And then burning chewed and mangled bones whenever i get from slayer tasks. Ya it's alot slower then normal fm training but, especially with vyres, its fun getting the ocasional (g) or (t) armour and the ocasional good random drop from the other methods.

[Grimy_Bunyip]

I did some research on beacon network for firemaking experience.

definitely less repetitive than normal firemaking.

 

The thing is, you don't get the experience bonus for constantly maintaining it.

If you want good experience, you'll need to wait for all the fires to die off before attempting again.

 

And even using normal logs and not giving the other firemakers extra logs, a good runner should find himself a lot of time to spare.

 

if you can light all the beacons it's 40k firemaking xp per run.

it'll take ~10 minutes for all 10 beacons to die down if you use normal logs i believe.

and the run itself should only take like 7 minutes, but that's ignoring preparation (which is nontrivial)

 

xp isn't great, isn't bad, but it's kinda like farming in the sense that you'll have down time in between runs.

 

just puttin that out there.

[bedman]

How long does the preparation take? I might take this into consideration, since I hate normal fm'ing.

I don't usually record data on preparation time, sorry :P

it would be pretty quick if you put all if the required items next to each other in your bank though.

you'd probably be better off with barbarian assault.

you get A LOT less xp at lower firemaking levels just because the multiple beacon lighting bonus scales pretty harshly.

 

Tedbunty's been using zamorak brews to hurt himself, then have the healer heal him to get a lot of points on early floors.

Apparently you get so many points for healing, and the early floors are so short, doing floors 1-6 with this technique is faster horn charging.

 

But it's a matter of finding a good team, and not accidentally making your allies think "why the heck did the noob reset after floor 6"

The bushes that hide th new Charm Sprites found south of the Gnome Stronghold... It is rumored that they never hold any berries!!!

[xpx]

sound like rsc firemaking, and stupid.

 

You are looking at the problem from the wrong point of view- if you hate skill, you are not forced to level it. I, for example, horrendously hate runecrafting. So, what do i do?? i train slayer, or slay TD's/frosts. Be smart about it, not stupid.

2 things.

1: you have 95 runecrafting (just saying).

 

2: sometimes we are forced to level a skill. i for one am training constuction for a few quests i want to do (nomand, love story etc)

 

all he is saying is that if you want to train WC and FM, but hate training them. this is a very efective method.

he may "hate" the skill, but by hes own words, he had fun doing this.

 

i mean no harm or anything, its just that i think your the one "looking at the problem from the wrong point of view"

I'd be 86(and that xp is accumulated over 6 years) rc if it wasn't for effigies....so...seems smart.

 

You are never forced to do anything. You just want to(or don't want to, in this situation).

[Wachtwoord]

85 RC still seems ridiculously high if you hate every single moment training. Even at 50K/h that's over 65 hours of not enjoyed gameplay. Sounds like a lot to me.

 

OT: the OP's attitude is the best one. Trying to find a new way to train something, not for the sake of training, but for having fun while the xp is a side effect.

[Quyneax]

I like this.

[Danqazmlp]

I'm surprised there are enough trees.

[Bladewing]

i'll stick to burning magics at the ge, but whatever floats your boat

Alot? yes. Alot over 6 YEARS? 1 hour every month? very, very little.

Yeah, with BA horn, it takes around 16 hours of firemaking for 99. It'd actually be smarter to pk for fm gloves and get the 99 in ~8 hours(gloves+horn), barely a days work. What does anyone think i have so much fm xp over 99...

[brunokiller]

Make fire hearts at the GE

:thumbup:

[Golvellius]

Can you make it from lumbridge to white wolf mountain with your rules?

Can you make it from catherby bank to piscatoris colony with your rules?

Yes of course when a title on this forum has "fun" on it you should post how stupid it is because you obviously know better.

Thanks for the chuckles as usual, clown. :lol:

[Sir_Kurity]

The funnest option is to not train it at all...

[Squisher_33]

i probably have the strangest firemakig method in runescape

 

i start with a full pack and logs, and i run all over runescape from bank to bank withuot relighting

 

with practice you can run about 5-7 spaces (depending on direction ur running, forward or backward or side) and not relight, this means your firemaking speed remains the same, 1 log per 2.4 seconds, however you can run all you want

 

its highly amusing, i usualy start at ge, run to varrock west, bank for more logs, run to edgevil, bank for more logs, run to monastary then tele to some random jewlery bank, then go form 1 bank to another

 

i can still do about 1200-1300 logs/h and its highly amusing running all over runescape while leaving a trail of fire behind me, and not loosing any speed while i burn (you make mistakes at first)

 

if you want a challenge try running from ge to edge bank on 1 pack without relighting

 

more challenging, run from ge to champions guild front door without relighting

 

more challenging, circle varrock castle and make it back to the ge banker without relighitng

 

therse many many more amusing "journeys" you can take, in the 64.8 seconds it takes to do a pack of logs

 

maybe next time i fm ill experiment with a yak + the take bob option, this will give me over 2 minutes to run and i can do some larger "journeys" in this time, maybe with yak i can make it from edge to fally bank without relighting to extent my journey more

[Youmu]

You can have your fun, but I actually want to train that skill so I'm going to stick to buying maples.

 

Sometimes, "fun" really isn't fun.

[jsboutin2]

I really don't think your method can be fun on a long-term basis. Must be boring going around places cutting trees and lighting them.

 

Whatever floats your boat, I guess. But honestly I'd much rather buy a bunch of magic logs and burn 'em away then go duo a boss with a frien than do this.

You might run into the problem of energy restoration going from edge to fally. Pun intended.
