The crystal tinderbox is a degradable tinderbox made by singing a crystal tool seed with 150 harmonic dust, requiring 80 Smithing and giving 300 Smithing experience. Players without those requirements can pay various elves to sing the crystal tool seed for them.

The tinderbox gives quintuple the chance of spawning a fire spirit while at a bonfire with it equipped in main hand slot. When it spawns a fire spirit, it loses 3.57% charge (1.78% in Prifddinas), thus lasting 28 uses or 56 uses respectively. The Fired Up set effect from equipping both the flame gloves and flame ring provides a chance of not losing a charge. After it loses all charges, it degrades back to the crystal tool seed. Like other crystal tools, the tinderbox doubles the chance of getting Firemaking strange rocks for Shattered Heart.

When the tinderbox triggers, it prompts the message: Crystal firemaking: A fire spirit emerges from the bonfire, attracted by your crystal tinderbox.

At level 22 Invention players can research the ability to create pyro-matics, which also unlocks the ability to create augmented crystal tinderboxes.

Charging

The tool seed can be recharged by Ilfeen, Eluned, Islwyn or Rhodri Dail for a cost that starts at 7,500 coins but decreases by 1,500 every enchantment, to a minimum of 1,500 coins. This method requires no harmonic dust. Players can also talk to the NPCs to turn the tinderbox back into a crystal tool seed.
