experience.Light Orb

To repair these magical lamps you need make a Light orb. See the Crafting Guide for information on making these (level 87 crafting required to make, but they are tradeable when assembled).

Once you have a Light orb, you will need to search around in the houses of Dorgesh-Kaan, until you find a broken light.

Fixing the light

Simply use the light orb with the broken light to repair it. You will gain 1000 firemaking experience for each broken light you repair. Additionally, 5000 extra firemaking experience will be gained if you manage to repair 100 lights.

Other items

Other items that are lit using the firemaking skill but earn no experience:

  • The Bug lantern
    - used for slaying Harpie bug swarms. This lantern is not considered a light source, so don't try using it in a dark cave.
  • The iron spit (made at level 17 Smithing)
    - used for roasting rabbit, chompy bird, jubbly bird and bird and beast meat obtained through Hunting. All of these, apart from rabbit, cannot be cooked on a regular fire or range.
  • Home chapel burners
    - includes any burners available in player-owned houses.
  • Logs used during Hot Air Balloon rides
    - once you have unlocked a particular Hot Air Balloon route, the log you burn on every trip will not gain you any firemaking experience. See Balloon Transport.

Hot Air Balloon Transport

After completing the An Enlightened Journey quest you can use Auguste's balloon transport system to take you to various locations across RuneScape. Details can be found in the Getting Around Guide

Before you can use the easy option to quickly travel you must first unlock each route the same way as you did in the quest with a different type of logs for each (if you fail a route you will lose all your logs from that trip even if you didn't use them!). You gain 2,000 firemaking xp for each route unlocked. After you unlock a route you can use it by only paying 1 of the required logs. Note: You do not gain any firemaking experience for the logs used to make a trip after the route is unlocked.

Training & Tips

This guide is based on averages. Some people have better luck with higher level logs than others. So, if you seem to be burning well, try another type of log.

Levels Locations or Logs
1-25 Normal logs are your only option until level 15. The best place to get normal logs is the Lumbridge forest. You can cut, drop, burn, and repeat.
25-40 Oak logs will be the next wood you get to burn. One of the best places to cut oak logs to burn is east of the Draynor bank. There are only four trees there, but since each tree gives multiple logs, it will turn out easier.
40-50 Now, you can try your luck on willow logs. An excellent place is south of Rimmington. There are ten trees ready to be cut. You may choose to carry on with willows until lvl 70 as they are the most cost effective. This is recommendable for F2P. However if you have completed the Tai Bwo Wannai Trio quest you may want to pay 100 trading sticks to access the teak trees in their grove which have a cut/burn rate similar to willows.
50-70 Now, you can burn maple logs. Members can access an abundance of maple trees north of seers on the road heading to the Fremennik cities. (If you are F2P, willow logs will be more cost-effective to burn for exp, but maple logs can be purchased from members if you like.) At 55, if you have completed the Tai Bwo Wannai Trio quest you may want to pay 100 trading sticks to access the mahogany trees in their grove
70-99 If you have a large amount of money, Yew trees are the fastest exp past 70. However, they are very costly. If you don't have very much money, stick to maple trees or mahogany trees.

Note: Since you can fail lighting all logs, the levels we suggest you start at when training are higher than the actual requirements for burning the log type. To make your training as good and fast as possible, we suggest you don't start on a new log until you're at least 5 levels above the required level.

Cape of Achievement

Once you have mastered the skill and reached level 99 you may want to buy yourself a Firemaking Cape from Ignatius Vulcan in the forest south of Seers Village. Refer to the Achievement Capes guide for more details.
