[I]This is a continuation of the [URL="http://www.gamersbin.com/blogs/andrew-adams/runescape-skill-guide-how-train-firemaking-12/"]first part[/URL] of my guide, if you have not read that i strongly reccomend you do so now, or you will be slightly lost when reading this guide[/I]

[B][SIZE="4"]Magic firemaking! (level 80-99)[/SIZE][/B]
Once again, this section is only relevant if you have many millions sitting in your bank. This method will cost you approximately 60 million gp from level 80-99 firemaking, however this is the best consistent exp for firemaking in the game, and will give you approximately 300,000 experience per hour, at the cost of about 1.5million coins per hour.

[I]This is the end of the sections explaining the logs to train firemaking on for each level, the rest of the guide is based around bonus training methods and other ways of getting more exp from firemaking[/I]

[SIZE="4"][B]All Fired Up (quest)[/B][/SIZE]
All fired up is the only quest solely dedicated to firemaking, and its completion is needed to do the all fired up activity, which has some really useful rewards which will be useful for firemaking. to start all fired up, talk to king roald in varrock palace, after completing the priest in peril quest, and with level 43 firemaking. If you pay attention to the dialogue, the quest should take under 10 minutes, as it is an extremely short quest mainly based around dialogue (note: 45 logs of any type (20 in your inventory, 25 in your bank to be reclaimed once the first 20 are used up) and a tinderbox are needed for this quest. Upon completion, this quest rewards 5,500 firemaking experience, 20,000 coins and 1 quest point.

[I]The rewards for All Fired Up[/I]
[B][SIZE="4"]All Fired Up (activity)[/SIZE][/B]
The all fired up activity has the best firemaking based rewards in the game, including the legendary inferno adze, which has the highest skill requirement for a weapon in the game (92 firemaking). The aim is to light all the beacons at the same time, with higher tier logs providing longer lighting beacons. You earn the ability to claim a reward from king roald in varrock palace, once you have 6, 10 or 14 beacons lit at the same time. In order, the rewards are; flame ring, flame gloves, inferno adze. The flame ring gives a 2% boost to firemaking exp, the flame gloves give a further 2%, as well as a total of 5% when used with the flame ring, and the inferno adze is a woodcutting axe and a pickaxe in one, as well as the added bonus of randomly burning logs when woodcutting. So if you are chopping and burning, the adze does some of your work for you without any effort needed!

[SIZE="4"][B]Summoning familiars[/B][/SIZE]
If you have a high summoning level, there are two familiars (either one works) that will be extremely useful to you in your quest for firemaking exp:
Pyrelord (46 Summoning - Works as a tinderbox, allowing you to have 28 logs per inventory, instead of 27, as well as a 10exp boost for each log you burn, as well as allowing you to burn logs 3 levels above your current level
Force Regent (76 Summoning) - exactly the same as a Pyrelord, but with a higher summoning requirement, and without the firemaking boost. Only more useful in combat + firemaking scenarios

[B][SIZE="4"]Ways to keep yourself occupied while firemaking[/SIZE][/B]
While none of the skills on Runescape are truly "fun" firemaking is one of the less "fun" skills, as it requires 100% attention, 100% of the time, unlike for instance, woodcutting where you can leave your computer every few mins. Unless tedious clicking is a hobby, you won't find firemaking fun naturally, and since the grind to level 99 is a good few days worth of playtime away, keeping yourself entertained while firemaking is an important skill to have. There is many ways to go about this, the most simply of which being talk to runescape friends. However, talking can interrupt the firemaking, so some players may not enjoy this. My personal favourite method, is to mak fun firemaking patterns every 5-10 trips or so, as it can lighten the mood of the place slightly. This may not be for everyone, but can be fun for those fire artists out there.

[B][SIZE="4"]Benefits of firemaking[/SIZE][/B]
Once you have a high firemaking level (maybe even 99) there is not much to do, besides the skill cape. However, in dungeoneering, having 90+ firemaking will make you a valuable member of your team, as burning high tier logs is important for cooking high tier food without burning it.

[B][SIZE="4"]The skill cape[/SIZE][/B]
This is the most important part of the firemaking skill, the skillcape that shows your commitment to the skill, which is bought from the salesman in a clearing in the forest between seers village and witch haven, for 99,000 coins. This cape is one of the more common capes, but is still an amazing achievement nonetheless
