1) What is your current Mage Level and XP?

 

2) What method are you looking to level it with OR how much are you willing to spend.

 

 

 

That will really help in some calculations.

 

 

 

Merry Christmas BTW :)

 

 

 

EDIT:

 

 

 

May I suggest you make use of the calculators around?

 

 

 

Namely:

And

These will help tell you how much it is going to cost you :)

oh yeh sorry um 47 mage 77658 exp. thanks merry christmas to u 2

[NuckingFuts]

Ok, something I can work with, thanks :ugeek:

 

 

 

You will need to make 48,938 High Alchs

 

 

 

I'm going under the assumption that you purchased the Yews Longs & Nature Runes at Max from the G.E (And because I don't know if you high alch with Finished bows or not, I will supply both :P)

 

 

 

Yew Longbow (U)

 

48,938 * 452gp = 22,119,976gp

 

48,938 * 248gp = 12,136,624gp

 

Total = 34,256,600gp

 

 

 

Yew Longbow

 

48,938 * 692gp = 33,865,096gp

 

48,938 * 248gp = 12,136,624gp

 

Total = 46,001,720gp

 

 

 

Just play around with the calculations depending on how your obtaining the items and for what price.

 

 

 

EDIT:

 

 

 

I just realized now you said your 47; You need to be level 55 before you can start casting high-alch. So make this your goal first :P - This could be easily reached and I recommend teleporting.

 

 

 

You only need 1,604 Camelot teleports to get to level 55 Magic. That will be a total cost of 500,448gp, that is if you buy Law runes at Max on G.E

 

 

 

Obviously there are many other methods of collecting these runes, I just calculated on the quickest option.

[xemu500]

ok thanks. and is the 34m for the alchs is that the total it will cost for the alchs without re obtaining some of ur money from alching?and if not how do i find out how much money i will get bak from the alching total cost of alchs-money reobtained from alching

[NuckingFuts]

oops my bad. I totally forgot about the money made back. With some quick calculations...

 

 

 

Yew Longbow (U) has a High Alch profit of 384gp

 

 

 

48,938 * 384gp = 18,792,192gp

 

34,256,600gp - 18,792,192gp = 15,464,408gp (Total Spent for getting Level 85 Magic - this is with the money you earn back at the end. Not what you spent to begin with)

 

 

 

Yew Longbow has a High Alch profit of 768gp

 

 

 

48,938 * 768gp = 37,584,384gp

 

46,001,720gp - 37,584,384gp = 8,417,336gp (Total Spent for getting Level 85 Magic - this is with the money you earn back at the end. Not what you spent to begin with)

 

 

 

The amount of money you make back is is the answer to the top equation, I just calculated that back into the amount of money you would have used initially in the hope that it gives you a better scope of what you're dealing with.

 

I hope I calculated that right... (Its 4am where I am; so I'm very tired right now :P)

[xemu500]

ok thanks so much! lol i think u shud go to sleep =o santa wont come XD

[llamster]

Yew longbow's alch price is 768. Its GE price is 647. That works out to a loss of 112gp per alch (assuming nat price 233), which is simply awful. I recommend alching addy square shields, it's about a 60gp loss per alch.

 

 

 

And training through teleports is a terrible idea. I would crumble undead ankous or superheat mithril bars.

[NuckingFuts]

Yes, You probably don't want to take my Teleporting recommendation XD I only said this because it's what I did, but I know for sure you got some better ways to hit that level 55 Magic.

 

There is a guide on this forum somewhere which if I recall gives a great method to getting the maximum magic XP for your buck (or GP of you want to be specific :P)

 

 

 

And I'm just speaking from general knowledge here, but High Alch means you're going to want a bulk number of items to play around with. And although these Addy Square shields might give you a better return, I didn't think they were under great supply at the moment. I don't know if alching with a range of different items would be worth it or not (like 1k each, while you're still buying at the GE) - but, that's just food for thought.

 

 

 

Either way good luck with your goal of 85 Magic :)

I suggest that instead of doing Camelot teleports, you do superheat on something like steel or mithril bars. You'll end up losing a LOT less and you'll get some delicious smithing XP in the process.

 

 

 

It's only 2.5 XP less per casting and I think even with the banking is faster than waiting for the teleport animation to finish.
