I was thinking of trying black salamander w/ harralander tar(...) using magic. Meaning you get ok efficiency for cheap price, but that'll only work on a monster weak to magic, has drops to pay the tar, and doesn't hit awfully high(because of ahrims..). Anyway, ideas?

The only thing useful with salamanders using magic is Barrows. Really nothing else to use it on. Try maging metal dragons.

using a sally for magic is only half exp i think

Just train magic the noncombat way.

 

 

 

Or try Aviancies.

with Salamanders I recomend Barrows, you can find great guides in the Mini-Games Guides forum.
