Training Strategy
Players train firemaking by burning logs supplied by the woodcutting guide or lighting forged lanterns. Burning logs from woodcutting provides ash, charcoal, and soot byproducts. Lantern lighting actions require metal lanterns crafted in the smithing guide. Specialized braziers burn logs alongside bone items and herbs.
