Can anyone tell me what benefit the pyro-matic has to firemaking? The wiki only says that I can put tool perks onto it, but not why it is specific to firemaking. Does it boost firemaking in any way, besides whatever the tool perks do? What if I don't put any tool perks onto it, how does it then enhance firemaking?

Same goes for the hammer-tron and the fishing rod-o-matic. I have no clue why I should use them over the normal items I already have in my toolbelt.

You're asking too many questions at once, but the pyro-matic is the same as a regular tinderbox for the most part.

The pyro can hold perks, which are useful, and it can be drained for invention xp.

Crystal tinderbox is better: "The tinderbox gives quintuple the chance of spawning a fire spirit while at a bonfire with it equipped in main hand slot."

Good firemaking perks:

Pyromaniac (chance to burn all logs in inventory at once). It does go off, sometimes.

Rapid (chance to speed up burning action).

Enlightened: +3% item XP per rank (for the item it's installed on). (max is 12%)

Wise: While equipped, +1% per rank additional experience, up to 50,000 XP per day.

Prosper: Allows you to find clue scrolls whilst skilling and a 1% chance for elite clues found this way to be upgraded to master.

Crystal fishing rod is better than rod-o-matic:

"A crystal fishing rod is a crystal tool that increases the success rate when fishing by 5% when wielded. Its effect stacks with perfect juju fishing potions and the fury shark outfit."

I gtg.

I think my problem is with how this invention skill works in general. If they are just containers for perks, I don't see why there is one per skill, when we can put whatever perks we want onto them.


well no theres a limit on how many gizmos. and not all gizmos are good for each skill

also each skill requires a different tool to work for the skill. a fishing rod for fishing, a hammer for smithing etc.

Tinker perk: While firemaking, it has a 5% chance per rank per action to increase the experience gained from that action by 25%.

Rank 4: 20% (22%) Average xp increase: 5% (5.5%)

Never mind. I just found out that these tools plus augmented tools don't go into the toolbelt, which means that I am never going to make them or use them. Apparently the whole point of having a toolbelt is gone with the invention skill.

of course they wont go in the toolbelt. the toolbelt is for ease not for training
the added perks you get from the tools that you augment is huge. so you are losing out a lot if you dont use them
