Magic Training

Magic is one of the most popular skills as you can hit really high when you are a low combat level if you are a pure mage. I suggest pure mage if you are a new player or getting up your mage so you can high alch if you are an experienced melee or ranger.

This guide will tell you how to get up your mage level, which is a very important skill because as well as killing other players with it, you can also teleport from place to place or even change items into gold without trading with anyone. It can also assist with your player-killing by placing bind, entangle or snare, which hold your opponent whilst you either make a quick getaway or reduce their hitpoints even more.

On top of that you can curse them to reduce their attack and defence levels or simply escape by teleporting to Varrock. All in all, if you have a high level mage you should become increasingly successful.

Before going into details you must know that there are many different ways to gain a high mage level and that these will vary on their usefullness depending on the person behind the player.

The first is quite simply training as you would in melee except with runes and a staff instead of sword and shield. For example you could go and kill a goblin close up whilst next to you a warrior is also killing a goblin. This has pros and cons as does everything else in life.

The pros are that you can collect anything it drops and you don't have to worry about it moving out of range. Also it will give you first hand experience of being attacked and so it will not come as a shock for you if you are ever attacked. However that is also one of the cons because if you die then you would lose everything except for 3 items which would mean you would have to repeatedly run back to the bank for fear of losing all of your runes. If you do go into first hand killing then the rewards can be very profitable as your magic level increases.

The second is by using puppets (no not like miss piggy and co.). Puppets are N.P.C (non-player characters) that can be reached through magic and range but cannot attack back. These can be found all over including Port Sarim Jail and the Lesser Demon in the wizards tower.

The best ones to use will be explained further down. For these you can use any attack, hold or curse. As always these have pros and cons as well. The first pro is that they cannot attack back. This means that you can bring all of your runes with you whilst knowing you cannot lose them. They also come in different levels to match your ability. Be careful not to go too high above your own level as it will be harder to get hitpoints off of them and so will waste your runes instead.

This leads me onto the cons. First and foremost - you have no gain. Whatsoever. Instead you lose runes whilst gaining nothing as they are behind bars. The one alternative to this is cows which can be used as puppets if you shut the gate - but there are normally too many people practicing inside the field for you to get a look in. Also if other people are practicing on puppets as well then you may not be able to practice as they are normally very high levels and so take ages to kill.

The third and foremost way of gaining experience is through teleporting, enchanting and alchemy. These have the overall appeal of being easy, quick and without danger to yourself. Well it's perfect then isn't it? Er.......NO! Because all of these require an expensive rune of some kind be it law, nature or cosmic.

Obtaining runes

When you doing magic you need runes ?DUH? There are different types of runes for different spells.

Check out the Magic Skill Guide to find out how to obtain these runes and about other parts of the mage skill.

Training Guide

Magic levels 1 - 19

292 Air runes or a air staff
292 Minds
584 Earth or a earth staff I you don't get a air one (you can't wear 2 staffs)

To get these it would be easy to runecraft them.

I'm afraid your stuck with noob magic. First go to the Wizards Tower and Complete the Imp catcher quest. Then go to Rimmington and complete the Wizards potion quest. Then head back to the wizards tower with the runes and staff (if you got one) go to 3rd floor where theres a lesser demon. Do 292 earth strikes on it. It doesn't matter if it doesn't matter if it dies or not as you get xp for using the mage not like range or melee where you get it for the hits you take off.

levels 19 - 25

134 bodys
268 water - - instead of the water or earth runes you can buy a staff
402 earth -

Again the easy way to obtain these runes is to runecraft them.
Now go to a place where there are loads of things like the dwarfs in the dwarven mines and hit 134 curses on them. The one bad thing about this is that you can only hit one curse on one NPC so you will need to do this on alot of dwarfs.

f2p levels 25 - 39

861 bodys
1722 water - - instead of the water or earth runes you can buy a staff
2583 earth -

Do the same as in levels 190 - 25 but this time hit 861 curses.

p2p levels 25 - 37

561 laws - buy from players or grand exchange
561 fire - - get a air or fire staff
1683 airs -

Cast 561 varrock teles which wont take very long.

f2p 39 - 59

8745 chaos
17490 air - - get a air or earth staff
17490 earth -

Go to the skeletons and cast 8745 crumble undead

p2p lvls 37 - 45

710 water - - get a water or air staff
2130 air -

f2p 59 - 99 Fire Black

370625 deaths
1482500 airs - - get a air or fire staff
1853125 fires -

You should really think off becoming a member but no ones forcing you and its your decision and people should respect that. If you want to stay a f2p then cast 370,625 fire blast. I suggest doing them against the lesser in the wizard tower but you may get bored so witch if you want.

p2p 45 - 62 Camelot Teleport

4907 law runes
an air staff or 4907 air runes

Cast 4907 camelot teleports which wont take long and the most fun way to train.

p2p 62 - 75 Wind wave

24351 blood runes
an air staff or 24351 air runes

Go to the lesser demon in Draynor wizards tower and cast 24351 windwaves.

681212 fire runes - - Get an air or fire staff
486580 air runes -

p2p 90 - 99 Teleother to Camelot

76881 laws
153762 souls

Get a volunteer and keep doing teleother to camelot for ages. Do it 76881 times and you will get 99 magic!

p2p and f2p 99
