no offense for both of you, but you must be mentally challenged to train firemaking, or very very young like 10-12....

 

 

 

 

 

It does nothing, it isn't fun, gives no money, and xp gains sux for real.

 

 

 

 

 

This is becouse Andrew just doesn't want you to be high lvl. Don't train it, u must be for real 4 years old to train it, meaning u understand nothing bout something.

 

 

 

 

 

so :-$

 

 

 

dont train it, u look just lame doing it :wall:

 

 

 

 

 

again no offense, i'm just letting you know what other ppl won't let you know. :-k

 

 

 

how about, your just a noob who is trying to look smart. but is being a total jerk for doing so.. :XD:

fire making is handy to get up total level and total exp.

untitled6kv7.gif

I like firemaking a lot since it gives you ability to use the bullseye lantern which turns dark into light.

 

 

 

Seriously there is only one thing I hate about that skill, you have to be very high to get a shade chest that gives lvl3 clue and low-level rune stuff while you could kill monsters to get even better rune stuff. :evil:

It's a pretty easy skill to train if you sit down and do it for a day straight, it's also a good easy total lvl maximizer.

You can't spell "sucks" or "you" and yet you are calling other people stupid? Last time I checked, everything on runescape was worthless, as it's just a game.

:^_^: I drew that smilie, btw, along with a few more used by this site.

Classic bloodveld for lyph3! Although I do like the new ones.

Like a ninja, here I was, gone I am now.

BUT! I may be back! Add my new account, Dr Bloodveld!

You can make millions using the Firemaking skill! Errr

 

 

 

Ok, mine is only level 85 cause it is useless.

99 Att, Str, Def, HP, magic, cook, fire, wc, mining, fletch, prayer, fish, farm

Over 2100 skill

134 combat

I hate the constant clicking.

 

 

 

 

 

it's like stringing, only not as annoying

Fire making as actually very useful. Take shade burning for example. And cave goblin mining helmets. Firemaking is useful but after level 80 there's absolutely nothing you can burn thats higher then pyred magic logs so if you get higher then that it's all for bragging rights or total level.

99/99 Cooking. 1500+ total level. 96+ Combat

Your post makes no sense whatsoever. They must be 10-12 because they train that skill? I'm 16, I train it. You're probably 5 because you train all of your other skills :roll:

 

 

 

It truthfully isn't really useful for anything yet unless you fish at Karamja as an f2per. But it's worth the total level addition.

there was this guy who made a giant thread on this on the rs forums chrono state, well he had tons of cool really fun and good ideas his thread hit the post limit (2000) like 8 times

cursedtoastsignature.png

Come to #tip-it on Swift IRC, if you're cool

bleh - firemaking is junk. No significant use apart from total levels. It's been said before and will be said again many more times before JaGex updates anything firemaking related...

 

 

 

Speaking of... maybe I'll burn a few k maples... :)

RSN: Greedom1 | QP 248+ | Combat 116 | Total 1920+ | Skills 95 craft, 99 farm, 88 herb, 91 mage, 85 slayer

Values? What do they mean?

I find firemaking quite amusing at times, it's peaceful to train. A very good way to be alone for a while, you can't talk while doing it =;

 

 

 

It's a pretty odd skill compared to others, as you aren't producing anything that you could sell (for profit or not), but it is very hard to train to high levels( not hard, but extremely repetitive), and also expensive in most cases. Thus it's impressive with 99 firemaking; it's a waste of cash and time, and really repetitive. I, right now don't have the patience to train it to 99, but it was a real experience to get it this far

 

 

 

+ It's fast total lvs :thumbsup:

pfff whe play rs for fun

 

dont train it, u look just lame doing it :wall:

 

 

 

 

 

again no offense, i'm just letting you know what other ppl won't let you know. :-k

 

 

 

1. 10-12 yo people don't have the money and patience to train firemaking (unless they're mature already). Many people have realised that money isn't the point of runescape, and firemaking is a great skill to get a high level in, instead of making money with some really easy and overprofitable skill like fletching. I'd like to say that you are one of the 10-12 yo's, or just extremely immature.

 

 

 

2. It does fires, many people find it fun and useful, and it's great for xp.

 

 

 

3. Again, you are the one that doesn't understand anything. We all have our own style to play, and we all like different things. It's not a waste at all, it's AWESOME exp.

 

 

 

4. Wow, the first part where i have to agree with you. Yes we do play rs for fun, but again, firemaking is fun for some people. I only get positive comments when I'm firemaking.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You are stating your own opoinions as if you knew everything in the world, but you don't seem especially smart. We all like different things, that's one of the differences between humans from animals. Though still a majority of rs does not train firemaking, it's not a worthless skill. Same with RuneCrafting before the Abyss came. And even though you don't like something, you can freely state your own opinions, but no way that you have the right to say all that do x are idiots (this doesn't apply for scamming or other things that affect other people negatively).

Wow now that is the best description by far that I agree with. Fming is not hard but repetitive.

A reflection is just a distorted reality held by glass and your mind.

^^ Everyone who is saying that FM is great for total lvls is basically agreeing that it's a worthless skill. So without it, would there be any problems? Kay, some people wouldn't look as cool with and extra 99 lvls stacked on their total, but if all it is is a total and exp helper, why even have it.

 

 

 

Hicho went a little, okay way over the top, but overall is kind of right :? .

Does every damn skill have to make money? You must be 10 years old, if you don't like it , don't train it.

 

 

 

And just because someone likes a skill and you don't, doesn't give you a right to flame them.

I'm sure that if firemaking wouldn't have been created in the first place, we wouldn't be missing it, but that applies for other skills too(also the whole game)

Yea I'm training to 92, and I agree, it gets boring. I still have 25k willows left to burn, and I've only lit 5k.

Ya, there's no way of getting rid of it, it's here to stay. But even though I hate skills, the other ones actually have some uses-

 

 

 

Slayer, work hard at it, get a few combat lvls, and w00t, Abby Demons. Farming- Great for seeds, also has some eccentric uses.

 

Cons, eh, just for fun :lol: , but POH's ROCK.

 

 

 

I mean sure, if we never had the skills we may not have missed them a ton (except Magic, no Magic and I would never be playing :lol: ), but every other skill actually has a use. And this is coming from a guy who basically hates every skill :lol: .

Fullmetal Alchemist, you will be missed. A great ending to a great series.

I find it disheartening that apparently anyone who has a strong opinion on this is relegated to being called a 10 year old....

 

 

 

Regardless, firemaking as a skill has not improved and it is still the same schlock it's always been.

 

 

 

By leaps and bounds (maybe into an abyss...) it is the most useless skill in all of RS. No reason why crafting couldn't have a "portable stove" component to it or something (as a substitute for fmaking). And excuses like shade burning and mining helmets are ignoring the point of the original post, which is that firemaking as it is currently, needs to be updated in a significant way.

 

 

 

Future posts on this thread should offer ideas for improvement as opposed to tearing apart other tipiters...

 

 

 

I'll start (and a nod to those who have mentioned much of this before)

 

 

 

-Bonfires

 

-Instant smithing locations (logs+ore and even hides? to start)

 

-Make firemaking combat-centered... (stay with me...) As in, allow a fire to be lit that improves the effectiveness of a sword by making it hot -- think a dragon scimmy (h). Or... perhaps a fire could be used to make fire arrows (why why why are they only used in underground passage?) OR - make firemaking and herblore combined (add a special potion to a fire for a tanning fire) to allow an instant tanning location for hides... <------- I would droooool for this.

 

 

 

I'll stop now before you think I may have become a 10 year old... :(

i envy anyone with 80 + fire making

 

it takes skill

Skill? Hell no. Too much time? Yep.

 

 

 

And to the above post, those are some great ideas. Firemaking really does need to become useful :? . And maybe the training could be more interesting, 'cause doing the same thing from when you can burn maples all the way up to 200M experience doesn't exactly sound interesting.

Firemaking is actually good xp if you have a ton of cash to throw away. I have 60 Firemaking, and I actually look forward to the day that I burn yews for xp. (Cuz i'm too pove atm :lol:). But i do it cause i like it. Good fun...in a way :thumbsup:

Uhrm, bullseye lanterns weren't there first time the skill was released. Can't you call that improvement?
