Remove chance of fire failing please

Post by Ufer »

This thing right here:

it kills off any nerve I ever had.
its bad enough that making one fire depletes half your stamina but then it also fails 50% of the time.
i think the stamina cost for these fire starters are enough without the fail chance.

If steel and flint was unlimited, I'd use 10 steel bars just to make one.

I always see people complaining about repeatedly failing firebrands but it works first time every single time for me, I cant even remember the last time a firebrand burned out on me.

Though I do mainly just use torches these days because I'm not a pleb.

Top off the fireplace with fuel before logging off and in case you don't sleep/work that long you can use the heat left in the pit to reignite the fire when you come back.

I do this, but the heat could last longer. I often find my fireplace without heat when logging on in the morning, particularly when I didn't stay up too late playing H&H the previous day.
