fire bolt or fire wave?

 

 

 

how many hrs from 87-94?

 

94-99?

 

 

 

exp per hour?

 

 

 

lookin for someone who has done it before not read about it or heard about it

[Knight_Zaros]

35-50k Exp an hour using fire wave. Depends on dedication and equipment. Hitting irons would probably be higher exp an hour as well because of less splashing.

[Sirscrap]

only 35-50k aww :( lol

[Knight_Zaros]

I never logged it really just rough estimates. And what do you expect you'll not ice bursting lol...

[Sirscrap]

i was hoping for like 60-70

Maging metals isn't the fastest mage xp, but it's pretty good in most other ways, since the drops help pay back the cost of runes, you get hp xp, and it's really easy to multitask. I personally have gone from 94 to nearly 98 magic by fire bolting with guants, and out of all the methods to train mage, its my favorite...though I'm still waiting on that visage drop

[Sirscrap]

thats why im doing it

 

 

 

since i just did thieving and did 80-91 of that at menaphites so i've done a looooooooooot of clicking

 

 

 

im looking for a skill i can just relax in

 

 

 

alching is too much cliking as well

 

 

 

and i want to do at least 94..if i really like it 99

[Triplewich]

I didn't try before 95, but i did it from 95-99. I usually camped there for 3-5 hours at a time, unless i got a clue and got very bored. It took me probably a good 1-3 weeks ( sry don't remember/kept track ) from 95-99, so gotta find something to do, since all it is attack one, pick up drops, attack another, and wait, and pot when needed. Ya, what sirscrap said b4 me, it isn't best of xp, but it pays for most of supplies, get a chance for 25m, and gives prayer xp, which he/she didn't mention,i got from 52-63 roughly just camping there, and i'm also still waiting a visage drop :thumbsup: need more help, just post on my guide, in my siggy.

[Knight_Zaros]

Yeah its not the fastest but most enjoyable mage training by far IMO. I love it metals. Be sure to take alch runes. And if you want to make some extra coin bring a BOB and load up on as many bones as you can if you'd like.

[Sirscrap]

so should i use fire bolt or fire wave right now

 

 

 

fire bolt now? then wave at higher level? or what

 

 

 

and how many antifire doses per cast

[Miner52289]

Maging metal dragons is a huge cash loss. Hi alch is better and way more reliable than hoping you get a visage or anything else good.

[ShadowSam19]

I would say bolt, since its alot cheaper and still hits high with the gaunts, but if you have the money and want to save time, wave would be fine. As for doses, its roughly 3 for every 250 fire bolts for me, but I'm sure someone else can give you something more accurate.

 

 

 

And really, its not a huge cash loss, since compared to alching you're getting charms, hp xp, prayer xp, cash from alchs, blood/soul runes, clues (I average one per trip), and loads of time to relax, instead of constant clicking.

[ajk822]

Miner, how much of a loss are you taking per hour alching? I'd say probably around 150k, so you lose about the same amount fire waving metals, plus you get hp xp and a shot at a visage.

[Knight_Zaros]

Said by the person who shouldn't be maging at metals anyway. I suggest Maging with Firewave at 80+ magic with ahrims and good gear all around.

 

 

 

Also if i where to really keep track of all my drops I've probably come close to profiting while doing metals. Or least its not as bad as a loss as you claim. Getting a visage, 8 skirts, and 5+ legs + 200/300k alchs a trip and a few million I've made off of junk and enough charms for my 73 charms.

 

 

 

 

 

Its not that bad at all...

[Sirscrap]

well i'll try bolt for a while since its a lot cheaper

 

 

 

and see how it goes
