Runescape Firemaking is an artisan skill that involves burning logs to create a fire, often to cook food. It is used to explore dark environments and make Serum 207 potions and is the companion skill of Woodcutting. Leveling up allows players to burn better logs and use more efficient light sources. Incense sticks can be made to provide a variety of benefits, and several quests involve using Firemaking. 

 

Do you want to increase your Firemaking Experience rate in Runescape? This guide will show you how to burn over 5000 logs per hour with the help of a pitch can and other helpful boosts. 

 

 

To start, we will be talking about the pitch can, an item that can be bought at the Grand Exchange with Runescape Gold. This item has 2,000 charges at maximum and will allow you to burn logs more quickly on bonfires and portable braziers. It can also be used to quickly light fires on the floor, providing a great way to train Firemaking quickly. 

 

In order to make the most of the pitch can, you will need to turn on One-Button Gameplay in your gameplay settings. This will remove the need to right-click anything, allowing you to left-click and spam the logs in your action bar. To make this even faster, you can set up your mouse keys by going to your Windows Settings, searching for Ease of Access Mouse Settings, and turning on Mouse Keypad Controls. This allows you to spam your left-click mouse button in Runescape using the 5 key on your Numpad. 

 

Now, you need to find a location to do this. The best location for this is in the desert, near the Excelled Coal Fight entrance. This location has a total of 203 unobstructed tiles, allowing for a run of 203 logs in only 2 minutes and 20 seconds. This will yield 5220 logs per hour, providing a base experience rate of 2.152 million experiences per hour. On a Double XP weekend, this can be increased to 4.3 million experiences per hour. 

 

You can also use regular logs for this, in which case you will need to find a location near a bank. The best location for this is in Impriv near the Triohorn District. You will also need to have a Beast of Burden familiar, preferably a Pack Mammoth filled with logs, and a Crystal Teleport Seed to teleport back to the bank. With this method, you can still get 4524 logs per hour, providing a base experience rate of 1.3 million experiences per hour with regular magic logs and 1.6 million experiences per hour with elder logs. 

 

Finally, don't forget that the pitch can only have 2,000 charges. If you are using 4-5,000 logs per hour, you will need 2-3 of these pitch cans filled up per hour. You can buy this filled-up from the grand exchange, though they can be expensive and rare, or you can buy an empty pitch can and fill it up yourself by doing the charge training cave, where you get 100 points or charges for every completed shape. 

 

By following this guide, you should now be able to burn over 5000 logs per hour in Runescape.
