Idea for firemaking.

ArchAuthor · **Posted:** August 19th, 2009, 1:49 pm

I don't know how many times this has been suggested, if it has been suggested at all. I was lobster fishing in Kajarma, and I thought of how useful it would be to stoke a fire, to keep it going in one spot without logs for a certain period of time. I think it'd be a great idea if you could stoke a fire for a certain period of time based on your fire making level. Thought it'd be a great idea, so I'm sharing it with you guys. Lemme know what you think.

Thanks,
Andrew

I just realized in another thread, fm'ing was consistently voted worst skill. Maybe this would be a new way to revive it?

I was actually thinking about this last night. Are you reading my mind!?!?!?!?!? :shock:

*hides*
Anyway, I love the idea

basically the higher the levels your log burns longer
cause the magic log burns longer than a regular log
and it takes higher firemaking lvl to burn a magic log

He means that stoking would be a way of making the same log burn longer.

that's actually not a bad idea, get some decent xp, maybe half the normal xp for burning that log for adding a new type of log like some sort of kindling or something.

It would be even better if it where stackable!

Insanely great idea. Nice work.

Use a knife on a hollow tree (not the ones where you can get bark) to get kindling.

Now you're reading my mind. That's what I was thinking of. To the word. Better the tree as well, a longer stoking time.

I actually wonder why Jagex has never thought of that. That's pretty smart.

Nice idea, I hope someday it gets added.

Yep, would be a good idea. Like add extra logs to the fire after maybe 30 seconds. But it would grant a bit less xp than lighting a new fire.

I know firemaking is due a revamp, but being able to keep one fire going indefinitely and right next to a fishing spot would be too powerful. Maybe if the method to renew the fire was in the form of a lunar spell, so there's at least some cost to doing it. A higher firemaking level should also extend the duration of a fire.

Good idea... Fires lasting longer = Flash being happy.

Of course, Otherwise it would become a new way to create more people with 99 firemaking. Which would be really bad.

Let's say for exemple (I actually have no idea what are the current exp gained per log is, So I just threw random exp for a log.)

Burning a log = 100 exp
Adding a log to a fire = 25 exp

That would be a quarter of the normal exp. I think this should be fair. I believe half of normal exp would be too much.

this would be an awesome idea cuz im tired of ppl on karamja always spamming "fire" over and over again
