For everyone's information, when the boost runs out your lifepoints appear to slowly drain back to your previous maximum.

@ ^ -- Cool. :)

 

 

@ All --

 

As for the overall state of this update, I would say it is the one pretty much perfect update of this month. Server Pings have returned, the RuneSpan is causing less crashes, and that HP Boost from Bonfires is rather impressive, right along with the exp boosts! I'm not going to get mad at Jagex failing to provide a model for actual bonfires, simply because of all this positivity. No reason to look a good gift horse in the mouth, ya know what I mean? And anyway, I figure Jagex might eventually try to carry out this one missed aspect, so there's nothing to worry over! :thumbsup:

Yeah, I'm not sure why everyone is so concerned about the aesthetics of the update. rather than the functionality.

Glad that Fires last longer now while Cooking. Nice rewards from the Spirits (yay for adding to Ashes Collection) Nice HP Boost to.

I now have THE REAL as my name title.

 

If I no longer require this, how do I remove it ?

 

Pay a visit to Xuan in Varrock or Burthope, he has a right-click "remove title" option.

 

 

Of coarse, I'll get me coat.......

Because its nice when things look good too, besides it says a lot about the update that for the most part people's only negative comment is that they didn't give us a graphical representation of the bonfire that differs from the fire. It's not so much people are concerned about it, more it's the one thing they can find to say 'y'know it woulda been better if...' about.

You add a log every 6 ticks, but if you manually add a new log after each xp drop, you can add one every 5

Wouldn't doing that defeat the ENTIRE purpose of this update?

People are always going to look for ways to max out their xp/hr. I probably won't do it, but it doesn't make it wrong.

Just seen this video:

Wonder how that method compares to manually adding logs to the bonfire and other fast firemaking methods (Pyrelord, Curly Roots etc.).

Just an awkward question for all of you... If you decide to clear the title given by the cape for any reason, but then want it back later and you're F2P, can you get it back? I would hate, being the 100% Pure F2P that I am, to clear a nice title like this and find that I can't get it back! :ohnoes:

 

~Mr. D. V. "Sitting on a pile of worry..." Devnull

Got some info from a friend. Apparently you can regain the title if you clear it, even if you are F2P! So, +1 more to Jagex in the "What's Awesome" category! :thumbsup:

 

~Mr. D. V. "This is sweet!" Devnull

does the type of log you use effect how many fire spirits you get?

Tries to eliminate long fire lines from the game, makes them more xp/hr.

 

In all honestly though I like that there is an option to be more hands on and get faster xp/hr.

:| Had the fire spirits come to me three times in a span of about a minute and a half yesterday. That was quite amusing, but naturally I don't expect it to be a set rate, just random. :P

 

Bye bye are the days of firemaking lines. XD

Not to mention: another clickfest bites the dust ! =D>

The one thing I have to say about it is that xp using Brawlers is Amazing and absurdly too high.

 

Brawlers in wild with NO additional firemakers:

Yew Log - 1,040xp each

Magic Log - 1,226.5 xp each

 

Brawlers in wild WITH additional firemakers

Magic Log (12.5 xp per person)

(1) - 1,239

(2) - 1,251.5

(3) - 1,264

(4) - 1,276.5

 

I timed it, and at 7:11 pm I hit level 82. It is 252,027xp from 82-83

At 7:33 pm, I hit 83. Note that I was using only Yew logs during this time

 

At that rate, brawlers can get you 680,473xp / hour using Yews. It can go as high as 802,500 using Magic logs.

 

Lucky enough for me, the brawlers I had were barely used, so I had well over an hour of use. I ended up with 1.1m fm xp in under 3 hours. Not bad :)

Another click's gone, and another click's gone: another click bites the dust!

Decent update, except for the fact they didn't add bonfires.

 

Heh.

 

I like it; makes it easier for folks like me who cannot grind no matter how hard they try.

Is there a specific place/world that's popped up to bonfire with the most people for max experience?

When I made a fire at the GE to test out a bonfire I was told to run North for bonfires.

I ran north, there were three or more people making fires as close to the bankers as they could then yelling everyone on one fire, for more xp. Other than that I haven't heard anything.

Three fires when you need one...

 

Yet another example of "I know you also have a MagicLog fire, but mine's better; use that one instead!"

There is a friends chat 'w100 bonfire' which I've been using. It's currently at Shantay pass, and plenty of people there consistently the last few days.

Cool, thanks. It's been bothering me the inconsistent experience I've been getting from people coming and going on GE bonfires, I guess that's just my OCD, but I'll have to check this out.

Bet that could be more tryhard with a pyrelord.

I like how Jagex now gives people exp for not playing their game.

That's okay, because people are/were complaining on the combat rework thread about how they're not going to be able to AFK combat anymore.

Can't wait to hear the kids [bleep] and moan about that.

Well you can like it or not, but afk is the way this game is headed. People don't like grinding, so Jagex is removing that from the game. Combat might be an exception, because (if done right) it can be exciting. But there is nothing exciting about firemaking. Bonfires have made it less dull. For me, bonfires and runespan have added two more 200m skills I may be getting without paying attention to the game. I like it.
