What to train?(Range Or Magic?)

[Totalec]

I have about 210k, but don't want to spend it all. I don't know if I should train magic or range to be more successful in the wild. I have 50str, 32 attack, and was wondering what would compliment melee more.

[Wesleyao]

you will get alot more lvl's if u spend it on range but mage has better damage. it just depends on what you prefer. i have all my stats about the same(atk str def mage range) all of them are above 70 but mage is best by far. it is a big money hog tho(buying all the runes). range is ok and alot cheaper.

[Master_Smither]

Mage would be better if you crafted ur runes and only bought the neccesary ones(deaths and chaos, and natures) You cn cast entangle with mage and then you can rnage but mage hits way harder.

 

 

 

I suggest training both to about 60 or 70

 

 

 

Becasue u can snareor entangle and range them for awhile and then cast mage spells if they are a melee and a range fight if they r magers, Also melee attack if they are rangers.

 

 

 

So get most skills even and u'll pwn@!!

Range/mage goes well with melee as you can wear you full range/mage gear without penalty of melee bonus

[Doomster]

If F2P melee pure, 40 range allows the best F2P 1 defence armour, green dragonhide vambraces & chaps, with iron (melee/range defence) or leather (range attack / mage defence) for the rest.

 

 

 

25 magic enables the first teleport.

 

 

 

PS. For F2P range, don't spend - use the best F2P arrow droppers (iron & bronze), the Minotaurs, and you should end up with more arrows than you started with. I usually collect bronze as well, and then use them up whenever I have enough of them to make some kills.

Do range its fun :D and you can buy lots of bronze arrows for cheap.

In your previous post you said you had 210k to spend on merchanting, which is it? Merchanting? Or Mage/Range.

 

 

 

By the way, with that amount of money.......... Range

If you spend all your cash on arrows, go to Fire Giants. You can easily make a profit here.

Hope this helped. :mrgreen:

I have 210k that I am looking to make more money with by merchanting. I have that money though and am willing to spend some of it but not like 150k.

[hatebringer]

i have to say mage, only because it is a great skill, but you may not get far with only 210k, so unless you want alot levels, choose mage, if not ranmge will gain more xp from the money

[bukka626]

I would definately go mage, but that might be because I hate ranging. As to how it could compliment melee, I would train your mage up to lvl50 to use Iban blast. IT RULES! max hit of 25 damage and in my first 3 casts, 2 of them were over 20! However, to get up to that, the cheapest way is to make your own airs and buy some minds from the mini-game rogue trader, where they are 3gp ea.

 

 

 

good luck

Mage is one of the knowed "buyable skill", but that is not true

 

 

 

If you are F2P both, Mage and Range, can be buyable also as can be free skill because you can rune ess mine and craft, and range you can colect from noobs rangers they arrows or even the monsters-drops

 

 

 

The problems of range> you can lose arrows, making you lose some money (only if you bought)

 

The problems of Mage>making runes can get boring, but its good that you have a full "storer room" of runes, being able to get exp faster from range

 

The best of range>Its an easy skill to lvl, as you just need an good safespot, some food, and nothing else

 

The best of Mage>Its the same as ranger, its better when you have a safespot with runes respawn, like the Lessers lair in Karamja volcano

well.... a lvl 50 pure ranged doesnt hit more than around 13 (f2p).......

 

 

 

f2p i would say mage, p2p ranged because of the new bow which can hit 45/45 in 1 time
