The Long Dark Fire Starting - How Many Fires to Master Skill Level 5

[@00304]

im starting a new stalker playthrough, and i find your guides very helpful. Im very inexperienced myself, with only 8 hours on the game with 20 hours on ps4. these guides are a godsend due to the fact that you have tought me all of the basics and given me ground to build off of. for that, i thank you.

[@Brandon34300]

This was an extremely helpful guide, gonna get working on this today, have never had level 5 fire starting before. You’re also a very charismatic guy, the fact your personality can shine through even in a simple guide video is very nice to see, hoping you get the recognition you deserve soon, I’ll be subscribing.

[@CmdrTom]

Ah.... I can't ask for more. Thanks

I actually did the badge in one go, it was really tiring, but i kind of made it an art work, I placed over 900 campfires in coastal highway each fire a new campfire, I laid them over the furrows near quonset garage

[@isaiahcolwell5061]

I’ve watched a few of your guides just doing research and at the end of each video I found myself smiling and gigging over your subtle humour. Not only that, these guides are HUGE. Earned my subscription

[@kennethmetcalf9507]

I agree with this 100%!🤘🏻

[@darkube5006]

One very important thing to note is that outdoor fires last longer than indoor ones the colder it gets (up to +100% at -30C°).

[@elijahnazareth8812]

so helpful even after all these years, will be practicing this later tonight. love the delivery of the video !

I figured this out on my own, but I started with using books. I first thought to do this after spawning in Mountain Town and finding a ton of books in all of the houses. I'd start a fire with the book, pull out a torch, use that torch to start the next fire, then put it out and grab another torch. I did need 4 campfires from the start, but the +35% chance to start a fire, 20% higher than sticks, really cut down on the tedium in the earlier parts. By the time I ran out of books, I was already to level 3, which more than made up for the reduction in starting chance.

Just bought the game and had a hard time at the start but your videos have been a great help, thanks! Liked and subscribed...

[@CmdrTom]

Happy to have you. Stay warm!

[@larryjenkins1965]

Different take on it than the way I grind fires. Yours has the advantage of being able to be done in any weather. I used the small shed next to the PV Farmatead and used the mag lens when the weather was accommodating. They were stick fires though same as you.

[@azimuthclark462]

Im 56% to Fire Master! Watching videos like this have really helped me improve my game.

[@CmdrTom]

I just try to help and entertain

@@CmdrTom i will! you just made my day!!! thank you so much

[@Chadderall113]

My game starts acting funny when I make more than 3-4 fires in one spot

[@CmdrTom]

Hmmm.... I wish I could offer advice.

[@Dhumm81]

Same here (on Xbone).

[@theloftgamer7570]

Super helpful thanks :)

[@pinchpeak5203]

Dropping your mag lens would have made it a lot easier lol

[@Ugh718]

True yeah XD

[@evandankert]

#13 and the minecraft music made me lol

[@autisticbird1671]

ye im gonna stay with the books

[@WildCelt130]

Do captive fires count (wood stoves, burn barrels, fireplaces)?

[@CmdrTom]

Yes. I just like the outside cave option to prevent cabin fever

[@rcsibiu]

I wonder if this depends based on difficulty level or is the same for every difficulty

[@darkube5006]

same for every difficulty

[@jamestomlin5525]

Wity the updated trader it's now extremely easy to get lecel foce and the 1k fire badge. Matches can be traded \o/

[@4bluekitty]

Ahh, just like the old runescape days xD

[@mellelaan4486]

Just carry a torch on you at all times until level 5. The reduced fire change won't matter then

[@Raccoon12008]

My character that had level 5 died from falling off a bridge 😤

[@CmdrTom]

Respect

[@Ugh718]

How does that even happen tho?

[@BoTheJo]

These videos are so useful

[@CmdrTom]

Thank you very much. I try to be a help

[@Dorf274]

200.

[@TheRealPhenri]

What if you used some cans full of snow and passed time?

[@justinlindfors8512]

How many fires is one book?

[@thomasmann3560]

Do fireplaces and pits work as well?

[@CmdrTom]

Oh sure. Fires you start there count. That's what my first dozen fires I made while getting the stick supply were. I just suggest an outside cave so you have room to set several fires at once and hammer it out fast. Torch light the next as as the older one dies.

[@KumarAnshs]

Hey thanks for help. I got to level 5 cooking a couple minutes ago. If you don’t mind me asking, are you a teacher/professor in real life? I swear you sound like 80% of my college professors

[@CmdrTom]

Nope, I work in a cubicle.

[@KumarAnshs]

@@CmdrTom Damn, sorry to hear that

[@ricefarmer06]

plz plz plz do a cooking one cuz thats an inportant skill as well in stalker and loper

[@CmdrTom]

Good idea... I do touch on cooking with my hide episode. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKiZp6FsrtWGa6M

game breaking tips...

[@CmdrTom]

IDK about breaking, but I would call it a focused strategy.

[@CmdrTom]

You should look at my guide for furs. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKiZp6FsrtWGa6M

[@konstantinoskountousias3099]

@@CmdrTom if you cook canned food and it gets cold and recook it you get a point so you can do your cooking to 5 by warming canned food again and again... I think... And by making hats I think you do your repairing skill, not sure about that... I liked your stick compass video

[@konstantinoskountousias3099]

@@CmdrTom i saw the the guide for hives and its crap because you use a rifle so you are in stalker and there is better clothes in the loot than the crafted ones. in loper its better to send a wolf to a deer and shoot it and even if he runs away and you loose the arrow, at least you have a deer to harvest
