1/3 exp on bonfires? Really? And the reason given is because of potential failures in the traditional line training? Failures that completely end at lvl 43!!!
Why not in the spirit of keeping things even and balanced make failures with bonfires
Happen also before lvl 43? Why make it overly complicated and completely unworth it?
Jagex is being Jagex again... You think after all of these years they would have figured out how to make it right... But no, they have meaningless reasons for their actions that only hurt the players who keep their lights on.

We already have to do these activities on specific worlds and in specific places, that should be enough. Give us a majority of the base exp at minimum if not the complete EXP.

Line FMing is just depressing grindfest. Nothing is good about it. It is not just potentially failing but already failed to real players. FM is the worst and most useless skill already, and to real players line FMing doesn't serve any purpose except the ashes (if they are worth a thing in OSRS). It is dead content. Shame on the Gowers to put such a garbage skill in Runesape.

So I need to get 99 FM line firmaking for an eternity just as one of the so many grindfest requiremetns to get my OSRS Max Cape? So depressing, and not me.

@Dilbert yes yes “shame on the Gowers” for giving you the one single game you’ve been playing your whole life and will probably be playing the rest of your life, yeah… shame on them right? Nah we honestly need more “useless” survival skills and we need new reasons to use them.

What "one" single game I've been playing my whole life?

I am playing RS3 too, not just OSRS, and thankfully we can train FM numerous ways and not just the aimless line FMing depressing useless grindfest in RS3, the original and longest running game the Gowers made.

Yup, we honestly need more useful survival skills but unfortunately we don't have portable ranges, protean logs and such tools that allow us to survive where there are no logs to burn or we forget to bring our hatchet and tinker box in OSRS. Yup., I played many games with survival toolkits like toolbelts that allow us to survive for decades but not in OSRS regretafully.

this is true is quite bad and not fun, almost as bad as agil, at least fm has fast xp rates.
OSRS - Filled with harassers sad...~
- Give me Private Hiscores this should not be public information! - ! REMOVE OSRS TAX !

FM is just a dumb "skill". When we have a tinkerbox, we can make a fire on a lot of things in OSRS, at least candles. Even for survival purpose, we can always just bring our tinkerbox and some candles, dry grasses, planks and such and make a fire anywhere. Do we need FM levels to light a candle?

There is really no point for FM, let alone make a grindy line FMing "skill". IIRC once OSRS paid some prominent streamers to play Leagues. One of the most famous streamers called it "cherry on the top" while another questioned why he unlocked firemaking early in the game and couldn't make a fire at higher level areas (with higher levels trees and logs).

Maybe it takes too much work to remove firemaking as a skill now, but faster xp/rate and less grindy and depressing methods like line FMing are very much needed.
