Logs to 99
The Firemaking skill guide and Firemaking training articles both say that "You need to light 72,758 fires to go from 1 to 99 Firemaking." The skill guide's edit even sources that from Tip.It's FM calculator. For reference, Tip.It's FM calc for, and a functional one on the Wayback Machine. That calculator says that going from zero XP to level 2 (83 XP) will take 3 fires. However, that will only bring you to 80.25 XP. It takes 4 fires (107 XP) to reach level 2. From there, only 3 fires (85.5 XP) to reach level 3 (174 XP). Continuing this all the way to level 99 (based on our XP table) equates to 73,490 fires to be made from zero XP to lvl 99.

I was able to check their JS code & figure out where they went wrong though. For each level, they were calculating how much XP/fire as if you were 1 level higher than your input XP suggests you are. IE. 28.5 XP instead of 26.75 for fires at lvl 1 and 198.25 XP instead of 196.5 at lvl 98. &#151;Random User123 (talk) 03:16, April 22, 2020 (UTC)

Use of this Calculator Elsewhere
I would love to use the calculator template or whatever it is on other parts of the site that suggest exp. A good place would be all the quests in exp calculations 'input your level to find your exp'. Although, I would prefer there be a spoiler for such due to page sizes. How do you create such a thing? &#151;PoliteKiwi (talk) 02:44, July 30, 2020 (UTC)
