The first player to ever reach 99 Firemaking was Dragoon 787. Over the years since 2002 Cowchicken has claimed that he was the first to 99 Firemaking; however, this is proved to be false in the official Runescape High Score logs from the classic era. Cowchicken also accused Dragoon 787 of cheating along the way due to a massive experience gain within 24 hours. It was addressed by Paul Gower (one of the Runescape creators) that Dragoon 787 wasn't using exploits of any kind. Cowchicken's math used that lead him to make such accusations included the time it took to cut a tree and then lite it with a tinderbox. Little did he know Dragoon 787 and Scarletstar went at it for 27 hours straight in order to pass Cowchicken on the leaderboards.
