Lab Log: firemaking

Training Firemaking from level 1 to level 10+ starting from Lumbridge.

Strategy

1. Use LUMBRIDGE_SPAWN preset (includes tinderbox + bronze axe)
2. Chop trees near Lumbridge castle to get logs
3. Burn logs with tinderbox
4. Repeat until Firemaking level 10

Outcome: SUCCESS Duration: 122s

What Happened

• Script started at Lumbridge (3222, 3218)
• Chopped 5 logs from trees near Lumbridge castle
• Woodcutting leveled from 1 to 22 (XP is very fast!)
• Burned just 1 log
• Firemaking jumped from level 1 to level 13 with 2000 XP from a single log

Observations

• XP rates are very generous - skills level extremely fast
• Only needed to burn 1 log to exceed level 10 target
• bot.chopTree() and bot.burnLogs() worked reliably
• Level-up dialogs were handled automatically by dismissDialogs() helper

What Worked

• LUMBRIDGE_SPAWN preset includes tinderbox + bronze axe (perfect for this task)
• Trees near spawn are easily accessible
• The BotActions methods handle the mechanics well

Learnings

1. Strategic Findings

• XP rates in this server are very fast - single actions give substantial XP
• For firemaking training, the bottleneck is chopping logs (takes longer than burning)
• Burning logs is instant (one burnLogs() call completes quickly)
• Trees respawn quickly near Lumbridge

2. Process & Tooling Reflections

• The sdk/runner framework works well out of the box
• Final state output is helpful for understanding what happened
• Bot actions like chopTree() and burnLogs() abstract away complexity nicely

3. SDK Issues & Gaps

• None encountered - the SDK worked as expected for this simple task
