The recent release of the Dream Mentor quest has a very obvious implication: Lunar Magic is now balanced with the other two spellbooks. With Statspy and Bookswitch, it can now be used for PKing and PvP. Humidify and Plank-making further distinguish the spellbook as a skill-supporting magicks.

 

 

 

Jagex might have intended Dream Mentor for another purpose, though: to reduce inflation. The primary way to train magic is to use high alchemy. Of course this adds new GP into the game, increasing money supply and thus inflation. Now, however, we have an alternate way of training magic.

 

 

 

Although I personally haven't used any of these spells, I'm basing these conclusions on what I've read from others, seen on movies, and read about on guides.

 

 

 

I'm assuming Astrals to be 100 GP each. You can buy them from Yaga's store, or craft them yourself since they give very nice RC exp.

 

 

 

 

Spell: Humidify

 

Level: 68

 

Cost: 1 astral 3 water 1 fire = 110 GP/cast

 

XP: 65

 

Notes: An easier way for medium-leveled mages to train magic. Gives the same xp/spell as alching, but is a bit slower. However, you don't have to go through the trouble of buying bows and nats. Can even be used to make money through watering vials.

 

 

Spell: Hunter Kit

 

Level: 71

 

Cost: 2 astral 2 earths = 200 GP/cast

 

XP: 70

 

Notes: More XP than alching, and it might even be faster (I need someone to test this). Downside is having to bank/dispose of all those Hunter Boxes that you conjure up (again, I need some testing here)

 

 

 

Spell: String Jewelry

 

Level: 80

 

Cost: 2 astral 10 earth 5 water = 200 GP/cast

 

XP: 83

 

Notes: Same spell speed as alching, but 15 XP more per cast. It's a bit more expensive and is quite inconvenient in having to buy gold ammies, which no one sells. However, you only need to click once for every 28 spells compared to 2 for every spell for alching.

 

 

 

Spell: Plank Make

 

Level: 86

 

Cost: 2 astral 15 earth 1 nature, Wood - 70gp Oak - 175gp Teak - 350gp Mahogany - 1050gp.

 

XP: 90

 

Notes: Slower than alching, but substantially higher XP. I think you can break even with the spell cost, but I'm not too sure. Great for construction.

 

 

 

Comments?

Well superheating has always been better than alching for a variety of reasons. And Bake Pies is like superheating on steroids...

 

 

 

You should add bake pies to the list

 

 

 

I think I tried doing the hunter skill twice and it said I already have a kit, so you can't keep casting that one for XP

 

 

 

And you forgot to state how much XP the construction spell gives

I considered it, but it's really inefficient trying to make all those precooked/raw pies. It's too impractical.

Cool find and I kinda hope your right since inflation is bad.

For training magic, yeah it's inefficient. But if you're making hundreds of wild pies for the upcoming update like I am... :)

:lol: That was one of my old occupations, I made from 300K-1M an hour =D>

For the stringing jewelry, im sure one of the f2p gen stores is usually FULL of gold ammys, cant remember which one though.

Probably Al Kharid cuz that's where all the f2p crafting/smithing takes place

In my eyes the lunars are a way to give something which helps training multiple skills. Look at those spells: mage glass, farming spells, make planks, string amulets and so on. The reason why those spells give somewhat good xp is that they require pretty high level to be cast.

AlKharid/Lumb/Fally don't have em, so it's either Varrock or Rimmington.

astral runes are 200 each.

 

 

 

there are only 2 ways to benefit from the update:

 

humidity spell: very quick waterfilling of vials, more than 5000 an hour.

 

change spellbook: the ultimate magic spell....but only if you can use it( :wink: ) + 2.5x times the experiance from alching.

Astrals are 100 each. I always craft mine. I find sellers right now on the forums at 135 each, and since they won't have buyers they'll willingly accept 100-110 each.

 

 

 

Spellbook is mad expensive.

I checked AlKharid and Lumby, it's neither of those.

 

 

 

I'm on ancients atm, so it might be a while until i get to fally.

 

 

 

World 99 charter has ~400 unstrung gold amulets for sale right now ... they cost 875ea so not really worth it :\

Shouldn't have said that :roll:

 

 

 

But the point is I need to find a permanent source of ammies.

World 92 has ~1000 unstrung amulets too :P

Actually the hunter kit method looks good, only problem is you can't note and drop them so say bye to one bank space, for training mage I'll do that from now on.

 

 

 

P.S string jewelery is not from Dream Mentor, old spell.

Upon releasing Dream Mentor, Jagex upped the xp of all lunar spells.

 

 

 

Didn't Muggi say that you can't bank em, or am I crazy

The casting animation for Spellbook change spell takes about 5 seconds, I don't think it will work well anyway. Casting that spell then high alchemy is just too tedious and troublesome.

As I have about 12 kits in my bank I think you're crazy.

A small note on Lunar spells.

 

 

 

I used the random npc spell and go to the wise old man, a fire blast animation hit me and he told me to get out of his head with my foreign magic!

 

 

 

Quite funny results. I got through to one of the Lumbridge Sheep before.

You can say that is one feature Jagex decided to add it in for entertainment :wink:
