About training Firemaking

Firemaking is famously the fastest and one of the cheapest 99s in the game: you buy logs, click to burn, and repeat, so gold and patience are the only real gates. Almost everyone trains at the eastern Grand Exchange, where the bank sits a single step from open ground, and simply climbs to the highest-tier log they can afford. The one twist is Wintertodt, which from level 50 hands you gold and rewards instead of draining your bank, so most players park there for the long middle stretch.

Did you know: Level 99 Firemaking takes 13,034,431 xp, which is about 37,241 redwood logs at 350 xp each. At current prices around 775 gp per log that is roughly 28.9 million gp literally going up in smoke for one single cape.
