Probably also cause barrage is multi hitting, which can be bad if more people close to your lvl is gathered around the person you wanna attack, since you could then get like up to 9 persons attacking you, because you attacked them :b Barrage *is* multi hitting, but not if you're not in a multi way attack zone. The areas he fought in: Varrock, near the GE all are single zones so it wouldn't have made a difference if he used barrage as opposed to blitz. Kolar is right though, Ice Blitz does have a delay. Not an animation one, but the way the splash damage appears on the opponent because of the length animation. Deadly combos can be linked with melee just in time for both melee and blitz damage to appear in quick succession, not allowing the opponent to eat and give a higher KO potential Just to clear things up: Ice Barrage, Smoke Barrage, and Ice Blitz are have delays after casting, but the one with the largest delay is Blitz, so it is most commonly used with rushing/combinations. However, Ice Barrage is not an instant spell, and can be used for these rushes aswell. Instant spells are Blood Barrage and Shadow Barrage.

I just turned on standard detail for prayer training (less lag in my house) and I'm enjoying it. To quote the Granite Maul: Simplicity is the best weapon. We're getting to tied up in fancy graphics.

Hot-keys. No doubt.

I disagree. How many players have, by now, worked out that magic and mellee can be used together? What about those melleers who use black dragonhide to avoid some scary ancient freezing them to death? And what about the use of Ancient Magicks while popping shots off with a rune crossbow? No-one should be restricted in their style of combat, and frankly, a little ingenuity never hurt anyone. Should I be terrified of an ancient and know that I'm going to die, or make the game more fun by pulling out a dds, dragonhide, and seeing who can win? Let's evlove in our style of combat. Can you combine Range and Melee effectively?..or lets say can you combine both of them in such an easy manner as Melee and Magic or Range and Magic? And that is what makes the difference. Don't ever expect Magic to support itself on 1 on 1 combat. Unless of course, hybriding is restricted. Even if you had spells that would hit 50, the cost of runes would be colossal. Thanks.. Lord Shalaj 1) When I made my statement about hybrids, i was SAYING that the triangle would work if there were no hybrids. I am a hybrid, and i did NOT say or imply that hybrids should not be allowed, I fully support them and believe that any advantage, you should use. 2) I have no trouble using both magic and range while in combat. I takes some practice, but isn't as hard as you might imagine. 3) Magic only can be used in any 1 on 1 fight, and, while costly, is worth the advantage. *points at sig* I have some experience in this field ;)

I agree, as now you can bring items such as the Fire Cape and other helpful untradables, and not worry about getting them again. I did have a non-gravestone experience not to long ago. Killed Chaos Elemental on a PvP world, was stupid, and got myself killed by the beast. I was panicing, praying that items still stayed on the ground for a minute or two, as they did in the old days, as I had lost my Armadyl skirt when I died. Spellbook swap, Greater demon teleport, and I'm rushing to my death spot, all the while searching for taht red-dot on the mini-map. Well, i found it, grabbed up my skirt, Neit helm, AND, right as i clicked to pick up some rune arrows, it vanished. Talk about a rush.

Make Magic short drain only 35% of the special bar too. But yea, it seems useful, just make it grey on objects that have to special.

I love knowing I've done some good in my life : Onto point though. You are saying that the same spell should be able to be casted twice without delay? Seems kinda pointless, with combination spells. Also, the normal spellbook is NOT good for PvP, minus teleblock. Ancients were made for PvP, Lunars for skillers, and the modern book is somewhere inbetween. Magic isn't under-powered, it's just over-looked.

I understand your logic, but who would use it? Most Runecrafters bank twice per run, once to fill pouches and familiars, and again to fill inv with Essence. I don't see many people banking a third time for an extra few essence.

Might I be one of the first to congratulate you on this wonderfully organized and crafted Guide being place into the AoW. :thumbsup:

It is possible to use blitz's and bursts, but it is no-where near as effective. Blitz act as the slow spells, and ice burst is an instant. Still, I highly recommend against this. Grab some runes and get infinity boots from Mage Training to get both exp and money. At lvl 88 magic, you can effectively 1-0n-1 fight with Mage.

February 2, 2009. Added Section 3.3 - Triple Stack combination Included more information about Obsidian Rings Added Karil's Crossbow to Weapons. Check this new trick out, it's really neat. I hope I've helped people with this, and I do appreciate all who helped me reach the Archive. Hopefully I'll learn some new tricks with Magic, I love the skill. Leave a post, comment, pet peeve, or anything.

Already 99 Magic. 2 duo armadyl hilt in 50hrs will cover it and some I used up all my GWD luck in one solo Armadyl Hilt. I don't have alot of playing time anymore either, so GWD is rather hard to organize.

Should i go for 99, it'll cost me 26m if i tan my ow hides, and 50m if I buy leathers. The difference between the two is 50 hours of work. Will tanning my own hides take up more then 50 hours?

I can make over 500k an hour, so that's one factor down. If the time slashed will make up for the extra money, I'll do ti faster. I'd like some numbers and rates, it at all possible.

But would ti be worth the extra cost hike? I suppose I'd like to know the exp-per-hour

Currently, I want to raise my crafting a bit, and I was wondering if doubling my costs for faster exp would be better then my current method. I am crafting Green dragon hide bodies by buying the hides, running to the Tanner in Al Kahard, and walking back, while crafting the bodies. After selling the bodies, this comes to a 2.5 gp per exp loss. Buying the leather would result in 4.8 gp per exp, but would it be any faster? BTW, don't tell em to use SC needles. I don't enjoy the game.

Doklim And, while I am classified as a Ket, I should be Mej. Edit: wrong name, case of dyslexia.

Worth 141m at the time. Most I had before was 8m

I did, which is why after 4 years, I just achived 99 range.

Thank you everybody for the support :thumbsup: I'll be adding and trying to keep this guide in Tip-Top shape for everybody. I've finally gotten back to Magical combat after snagging this little level: Thank you all again

Compfreak actually has facts dealing with the topic, and is persistent to prove them. Yes, he can be annoying, but all people are when they are telling you that you are wrong.

You really have done a great job with this, and helped thousands of people : Thank you. I owe you 17m and several hours of good times.

Meh, I personally am going to get 99 range on one of my friends, and 99 magic in a pretty place. I don't wanna worry about gathering a bunch of people together so they can see my shoot and arrow and say a message I won't be able to read. If I want, I'll throw a house party so everybody can have a good time, but that's about it. That being said, I have no problems about people hosting them, I just don't enjoy attending or hosting them.

RS PVP has alot of problems, PJ'ers are one of the easier ones to avoid. Use the landscape to avoid em, and just keep an open eye. Yes, they are annoying, but hardly the bane of PvP. The only pj'ers that I despise are the ones who will fight you if you are using magic and already engaged in combat.

Zamorak Godsword was my favorite, and I've held all hilts. Saradomin was also useful, but not as fun.
