Fire damage

Fire damage is a sub-damage type of elemental damage.

Weapons that cause fire damage
Fire Wands, Fire Staves, some Holy Rods, Holy Staves, and Fiery Dragon Swords cause this damage type.

All weapons except staves that have the fiery weapon upgrade cause fire damage.

Equipment that protect from fire damage

 * Ranger's Drakescale Armor has +15 armor against fire damage (on top of the innate +30 armor against elemental damage).
 * Elementalist's Pyromancer's Armor has +10 armor against fire damage (on top of the innate +10 armor against elemental damage).


 * See Elemental damage for additional generic protection not specific to fire damage.

As fire damage is one of the most common damage types, it is wise to have protection from it readily available.

When to use fire
Anything aligned with earth, water or death will take significantly more damage from fire attacks. Anything aligned with fire will take significantly less damage from fire. Thus, fire damage is especially effective in Kryta and Maguuma, and particularily ineffective in post-Searing Ascalon and the Ring of Fire.
