Burn. Burn forever.

While I wandered in the land, I entered a house and saw a kindling burn
forever. I tried myself but my kindling in my house can only burn 1 minute
or so. And I failed to lock it down and let it burn at the same time. Any
tip?

Probably a static decoration. Since it's a static, it won't move or decay
(Think locked down on crack). It's a step short of being part of the
worldmap file.

Short of becomming staff on OSI, I doubt you'll be able to do the same.

It is not a static but an animation. That is why it so interests me. I want
to duplicate it.

There is a permanent campfire not far from my house up at candelabra
point. AFAIK it is a permanent graphic in the shard artwork.

Get InsideUO. It shows all the artwork. You will see that campfires are 3
animation Item IDs ( 0xDE3, 0xDE4, and 0xDE5 ) for a burning fire (Not
counting the 4 item ids for the fire burning down and becoming embers).

If you add the first one ( 0xDE3 ) to the map (Static or not), it AUTO
cycles through the remaining animations.

Thus, it is a static item, and it is animated.

That is what OSI has done.

Just to clarify: By static I DO NOT mean it's part of the MUL files. I mean
it has been set to non-movable and/or has been added as JUST the ItemID (Not
a functioning campfire)...

They could have just added a campfire, lit it, and set it to
non-movable/non-decay. Or they could have just added the ItemID to the map
as a static art work (Static here meaning
non-movable/non-decaying/non-usable art work)
