Best way for a F2P player to get from 39-43 magic

Featured Replies

Well I'm planning to crumble undead but is this cost efficient?

weiyao5.png

Nope, maybe the best method for you if you are concerned about cost is to simply fire strike the fire wizard who is just south of fally. You will not hit the wizard at all and all your spells will splash which means you can afk for a bit/watch videos or dvds/browse forums or guides/play other games whilst your character does it

 

 

 

You need about 850~ fire strikes to your desired level, and this can be acheived very fast.

 

Wield a fire/air staff and but 850~ mind runes and either 1700 air runes or 2550 fire runes.

 

 

 

This will cost a maximum of 25k

 

 

 

Happy?

Thank you to tripsis for an awesome sig!

I wasn't particularly worried about the cost but more exp/cost value but thanks anyway, I'll probaly try it for a couple of levels to see how it works.

weiyao5.png

Supposing that you had the exact experience at Level 39, this method would cost you 47,799gp to 43 mage. That's 2.86gp/exp.

 

 

 

On the other hand, cursing (just decided to pick a random spell) would cost 23,040gp, that's 1,38gp/exp.

 

 

 

OPPOSITE:

 

Crumble undead = 0,35exp/gp

 

Cursing = 0,72exp/gp

 

 

 

In sumary, even cursing would be more efficient than crumble undead.

 

 

 

Am I right?

But what is both fast and cost efficent?

But what is both fast and cost efficent?

 

 

 

You've only mentioned Best way and most efficient :|

 

 

 

Remember that on damage spells, the total experience is affected by how hard you hit on that spell. So the lower you hit, the lower your overall experience will be. But on cursing you allways get 29exp, whether you are 19 or 99 mage. So it might be more worthwhile to cast curse.

I'm sorry if I was unclear but the question I have now does damage spells have a base exp you always get? Because otherwise the first person's answer would sound like a joke.

They do. Even if you fail to cast a damaging spell, you get some experience. That's its base experience.

Thank you very much for helping me.

I suggest fire bolts at FoG. Cheapest way of doing it while not being overly slow.

 

 

 

Or, you can use Fire Bolt on Lesser Demons, via the Safe Spot. You virtually never get hit, and the seem to be prone to that attack. It might cost more than using it at Fist of Guthix, but you are going to get more Experience this way.

My relaxation method involves a bottle of lotion, beautiful women, and partial nudity. Yes I get massages.

You will hit often ... lessers have low magic defense. Unless you're casting in armor, they'll never hit. If you plan to bounce spells for xp, then cast curse; use an earth staff + body + water runes. Wear full rune and cast it on any monster in any multi area.

But that costs much more money and the penalty of death is a lot worse.

 

 

 

Your using a Safe Spot, so you cannot get hit. And plus, if you train at Fist Of Guthix, your targets run away, and you only get half the experience, so it could potentially take up to 3 times as long as doing it on Lesser Demons. Fist Of Guthix should be a last resort.

Erm... talking about Curse spells, if I am not wrong, you can cast on the training dummies in Lumbridge.

 

 

 

Maybe you might want to try it out over there and see if it works? It's safer and low-risk.

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT: Ok I just tried using de-buffing spells on the dummies; it worked perfectly without even having to wear metal armour since you can keep casting at it.

Could someone please tell me where this half experience is coming from? I swear 1 month and a half ago when I last played FoG, I got my 35 base XP PLUS 2 xp per damage point, a normal spell would give.

 

 

 

And honestly, with magic, once you click on your opponent once, you've pretty much got them as your magic will always go in the direction they are at, regardless if they run or teleport. It's actually

 

relatively easy to find them if they house too.

That's an interesting idea :-k

use fire strike, it is fairly inexpensive though it will take a while :(

Raise it with F O G. Cast as much Curse, Bind, Confuse and Weaken spells as you can while using your main spell. It should not take long and its free.

F.O.G is too slow exp. Besides, once the opponent has been cursed/weakened/confused, you cannot cast it at them again...

Errrr yes you can after a while. For is fast EXP if you know what you are doing. I can easily get 1k - 2k exp per game

Fair enough, if weiyaoli is a good FOG player he can probably rack up mage xp quickly(although not as quick as conventional methods) for free.

 

 

 

However, the time spent to hunt down the opponent makes it a not really viable option to use FOG for training magic. Shouldn't really be using de-buffing spells in between attacking spells too since the exp given is so little; would rather use attacking spells all out if using the FOG option.

 

 

 

For a balance between efficiency and costs, use de-buffing spells or what Kingjoe mentioned :fire strike vs Fire Wizard.

 

 

 

For free but slower mage xp: FOG

 

 

 

For having fun on RS: Use whatever spells you like~ ~ :D

I'm not bad at FoG but the people I get are potientially cb 50+ and it's gonna be hard if I want to win(No loss of rating) as well as get mage exp and I have considered FoG but it's not much of a viable option because I don't want to lose rating.

 

 

 

Of course I could play for exp only but I never really got why people did that.

F.O.G is too slow exp. Besides, once the opponent has been cursed/weakened/confused, you cannot cast it at them again...

 

 

 

You can cast curse on the same opponent over and over. Just wear armour that gives anti-magical bonus. You'll fail to cast the spell so you can cast it again and again. And you do not lose experience.

How can de-buffing spells be a good balance between efficiency and costs? You almost allways fail to cast fire strike on the fire wizard. That's almost half of the experience you could get by casting it on lessers!

 

 

 

Fist of Guthix is free magic experience indeed. But how good is that though if the original poster is looking for efficiency?

And Teng, you can cast curse on an oponent again and again if you're wearing anti-magical armour. You will not lose experience that way.

Or if you reach 59, fire blasting at FoG is almost most definitely the best free way to raise magic in F2P.

 

 

 

The base xp for fire blast itself is already more than fire strike with it's max hit of 8.

 

 

 

And like I said, it takes about 20 secs to hunt down an opponent. Once you find them, one click is all you need. You'll be locked onto them regardless of what they do, unless they run into a house. Then there are other ways of solving that problem :roll:

 

 

 

For fire striking fire wizards, there's only one of them.

 

 

 

And could someone please tell me where this half xp in FoG rumour is coming from?
