Firemaking Guide

Before you begin

• Tinderbox and unnoted logs
• A clear line of tiles where fires are permitted
• Banked logs from Woodcutting or trading if your mode permits

Click the skill in your in-game Skills tab to inspect its guide. Check equipment, quests and supplies before leaving the bank.

These level bands are recommendations, not extra unlock requirements. Where an option unlocks partway through a band, keep using the earlier method until you reach it.

1. Levels1–15

   Normal logs

   Use a tinderbox on logs. Train in a clear area instead of blocking yourself against scenery; keep enough logs aside if you also need Fletching.

2. Levels15–30

   Oak logs

   Oaks give 60 base XP each. Their Woodcutting availability makes them a natural progression from your early gathering.

3. Levels30–45

   Willow logs

   Willows give 90 base XP and are often plentiful from Woodcutting training. Teaks unlock at 35 if you have spare stock.

4. Levels45–60

   Maple logs

   Maples give 135 base XP. Burn spare mahogany only if you do not need it for Construction and are happy with the cost.

5. Levels60–75

   Yew logs or economical maples

   Yews give 202.5 base XP. Compare your supply before switching; a lower-tier log still provides consistent progress.

6. Levels75–99

   Magic logs or sustainable cheaper logs

   Magic logs give 303.8 base XP. The best route depends on what you can gather or afford, not simply the highest unlocked log.

Field notes

• Bring unnoted logs; noted stacks cannot be burned directly.
• Do not use modern OSRS methods such as Wintertodt as your training plan here.
• Bow-based firemaking has separate Barbarian requirements; a tinderbox is the straightforward route.

Use this reference alongside the training route. A level requirement alone does not replace the correct tools, ingredients, location or quest access.
