Well my idea is to have steel and flint to start fires. Maybe make it a skill.
That way ash will be a bit harder to obtain. You could make a peice of striking steel from blacksmithing and find flint while diging.

yes i thougt about something like that. I like this idea. Maybe you can light fire with magic too. Or probably with two branches of a tree rubbing fast at each other. taking more time than your idea

Although the idea does sound nice, I'm not completely convinced. Ash is hard enough to obtain imo, that hard that I needed to ask for an increase of bottle prices so I can pay people enough money so they would even try to.
And we must not forget that campfires are the most popular "roleplaying equipment" in Illarion. Somehow I dislike the idea of making starting a campfire a skill.

Just an idea at the spur of the moment. Not really caring if anyone likes it or not. Im nto that worried about it.

maybe there will be a general skill for "wildlife" including some thing like making fire, sleeping in the woods, resistance of weather.
Maybe.

I think "sleeping in the wood" can't be a skill at the moment, because of the lack of beds everybody is sleeping outside (or let's say a lot of people).

I'm not a big fan of the skill on wildlife and campfires. But i really like the idea of just something simple like you just use the flint with the wood and have steel also and it lights the fire

It's just a nice simple little idea that add's a little more to the overall experience
