Leveling

[cvillerep]

Where would the best place be to train, as a f2p, to lvl 60 mining? I am lvl 50 currently. Would powermining iron be the best option? :-s

 

 

 

Also, what is the best method of leveling magic from lvl 41 to 55? I've tried curses, but I don't what the best method is.

 

 

 

Suggestions?

Definitley powermine Iron. The Dwarven Mines are ideal.

Well, for powermining iron on F2P I would suggest either the Al Kaharid or Rimmington mines. There is also a decent spot in the Dwarven Mines for powermining iron. If you would like to bank the iron (I know you don't), the best spot would be the Eastern Varrock Mine.

 

 

 

As for mage training from 41-55, the best method is obviously the highest spell that you can cast. This is also the most costly though, which is probably what you want to avoid. Curses are nice and cheap, but are also slow xp. If you can afford it, I would suggest the following:

 

 

 

- Buy a full blue mage set

 

- Buy a magic amulet

 

- Buy an Air or Fire staff

 

- Buy a large amount of fire bolt casts (Air & chaos or Fire & chaos runes)

 

- Buy the runes needed for some telegrab spells. (Air & Law)

 

 

 

Now, head off to the Wizard Tower (South of Draynor) with a maximum magic attack bonus, your fire bolts, and your telegrabs. Walk up to the top of the tower (I think) and there will be a caged Lesser Demon. You can mage this demon (who is weak vs. magic) and get free xp. The only problem is that you can't reach the drops.. not without Telegrab that is. There isn't a whole lot to Telegrab though. Here is a list of the drops to telegrab that you shouldn't lose cash on (not including air rune cost).

 

 

 

High Alchemy Drops

 

Mith Chain - High alchs 864gp

 

Mith Sq Shield - High alchs 936gp

 

Black Kiteshield - High alchs 979gp

 

Rune Med Helmet - High alchs 11520gp

 

 

 

Resale Drops

 

Gold Ore - 500ea

 

Uncut Sapphire - 300gp (not really worth it)

 

Uncut Emerald - 450gp

 

Uncut Ruby - 900gp

 

Uncut Diamond - 1800gp

 

Fire Rune (30,60) - 10gp each (300,600gp)

 

Chaos Rune (12) - 105gp each (1260gp)

 

Death Rune (3,5) - 300gp each (900,1500gp)

 

 

 

Note: Be aware you could possibly craft gems into jewellery and resell for larger sums.

 

 

 

Sorry, I'm not near the Grand Exchange so I can't get minimum prices, but these values should be near to market sales value. The Lessers also drops different amouts of coins ranging from 10-450gp. It is not advised to telegrab these, or any drops I haven't mentioned as they are generally not worth your used runes. I hope this helps. :
