Revenga Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Seriously, I try to think of the worth of firemaking. If you are f2p.. you cut logs to do what? Burn them... No profite. No Nifty animations. No gain at all, right? Seriously even in p2p.. firemaking is still worthless and I honestly see no point of even having it. Unless the only reason is to get rid of the logs. I mean with all the woodcutting pures and high woodcutting lvls.. without firemaking..where the hell would the logs go? ..lol Can anyone thing of the usefullness of FireMaking? |Msg me me in-game | IrreIephant| ^ capital i Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lode Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I'm fishing in karamja right now. Firemaking is the most important thing there, everyone yells "fire!" all the time :D But I would find it neat if you could make fires without tinderbox at high level. After all, there are enough methods to make fire without tinderbox, and if you have a high level I wonder why you still need such a beginners tool for it. Plus, firemaking is fun, and levels pretty fast. Turn on the song "Prodigy - Firestarter" in your Winamp or xmms, get 27 logs, and make 27 fires in a row!

Revenga Posted January 17, 2006 Author Share Posted January 17, 2006 Well I mean..the skill itself seems pointless in a nutshell. But when u talk about Karajama, it does bring up a good point. And no.. I completley forgot about Shades and Splitbark. But didn't they put that into the game becasue firemaking was really already a worthless skill, lol? :roll: |Msg me me in-game | IrreIephant| ^ capital i Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostwriter Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 But didn't they put that into the game becasue firemaking was really already a worthless skill, lol? Well, yeah. I mean, all skills are worthless until you put something in to make them worthwhile. I don't see how that's an argument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uula Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Firemaking = Easy total levels, exp. Thats EXACTLY what I'm looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonimu Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Firemaking = Easy total levels, exp. Thats EXACTLY what I'm looking for. That's exactly what I was going to say... I got my fm from 18 to 40 in only like 1 and a half hours... That's 22 total lvls! Losers...Are you blind or ignoring me on purpose?Even though I sometimes side with religious people in some debates, I no longer consider myself religious.

Indizle Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Logically, it doesn't make sense to me why you have to level to burn different types of logs...In smithing, you have to "learn" the differences of each metal, in cooking you have to learn the proper method of cooking each food, in Combat, you get stronger as you fight, in magic, your powers increase in strength as you train it, in range, you become more accurate and adept at the various flexibilities of each wood bow, in Runecraft you learn to harness more magical powers into esses (which would also explain multiple runes per ess), and in mining you learn new methods of extracting different ores. But honestly, how is lighting an oak log on fire different from a yew log or a willow log? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But honestly, how is lighting an oak log on fire different from a yew log or a willow log? You're not looking at it logically. :P You need to learn how much spark from you tinderbox is the right amount, so it burns the longest. Not enough means no fire, too much means it blows up in your face. I could say how is whacking an iron ore rock different from rune? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indizle Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 different ores have different characteristics; some are dense, some are brittle, thus you have to learn to strike the source in the proper manner to extract the ore without harming it too much. However, how is it that different woods require different amount of spark? I figure that if x spark is right for a oak log, it should be the same for a yew log...why would it be harder or easier to burn? And if level determined only the time your fired lasted, I would understand why having a higher level is beneficial. But allowing a certain type of wood to be lit only after a certain level doesn't make sense to me...i should be able to go outside right now and light an oak log just as easily as a maple log.

Merre Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Firemaking seams useless but there aren't furnaces everywhere so fishing and cooking goes fastest with a selfmade fire rocks... 2016 goals: all skills +30mil xp - Completed this goal 11th December 2016 2017 goals: get at least 3 more master capes (start xp: invention done@21st Jan, mining done@2nd April & ranged 76/104mil done@June 20th) & all skills +40mil xp (done 24th August) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
