Jacks0n Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Well I'll be fire bolting metal drags. I need around 200k xp for 82. How many fire bolts? My setup: Mystic hat Mystic robe top Firemaking cape (t) No arrows Mystic robe bottom Anti-dragon shield Chaos gauntlets Mystic boots Ring I'm not sure. Maybe seers ring lend? Any ways to improve? Thanks (: EDIT: Oh and a fire or air staff rofl. Is there a staff that covers both of these runes btw? ~[Blog]~[CrystalMathLabs]~[Last.fm]~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks (: Well, you need about 200k exp and you will get about 50exp per cast, so that would mean that youre going to need about 4k casts i think. EDIT: Since you are doing Metal Dragons youre going to splash quite often, so i would say maybe double the initial figure, so that would be around 8k casts. **Thanks to Boo_Boy666 for my amazing Singnature**[hide=Slaytanicc's Achievments]|99Cooking achieved 24Dec 2008|99Strength achieved 17Feb 2009|99Hit Points achieved 8April 2009||99Defense achieved 29May 2009|99Attack achieved 2August 2009|99Ranged achieved 14August 2009|[/hide][hide=Guides by Slaytanicc]Aviansie Maging + Ranging Guide (Must Read!!)Iron Mining + Banking GuideGreen Dragons GuideAnkou Slaying Guide[/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacks0n Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 Just thought of SC mage hats. Would that double the xp? Or even using the staffs? ~[Blog]~[CrystalMathLabs]~[Last.fm]~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadukar123 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I Dont Think There Is A Staff For Fire And Air But I Would Use Air Cause Fires Are Cheap OT: Don't put capitals on every word. -_- Use Ahrim's, it's much better than Mystic, or if you want non degradable armour, use Infinity at the very least. Bring a couple SC Mage hats if you wish.

Hikensasameyuki Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Void mage prevents you from wearing chaos gauntlets, which entirely defeats the purpose of using bolt spells on anything. If you wear full void mage, you have to be rich enough to afford max magic bonus in every other slot. You'd be better off using mind or death rune spells if using void mage. Most people use charged claws of guthix autocasted by a void mace, if not ancient magicks when using void mage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoG at metal dragons will lose you money unless you get a vissage (which isn't very likely). quit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hikensasameyuki Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I didn't spot anything in the original post which asked for advice on how to profit from magic training. Most people train magic fully expecting to lose money. Nevertheless, I did indeed advise him against it, so I'm not sure what in my post you thought you were arguing against...

Jacks0n Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 But this hasn't answered my main questing. How many casts? ~[Blog]~[CrystalMathLabs]~[Last.fm]~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hikensasameyuki Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 An earlier poster already gave you a fairly good educated guess as to how many casts you should purchase in order to reach your desired level. Any further posts have simply been additional debate on other training methods already discussed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Since you are doing Metal Dragons youre going to splash quite often, so i would say maybe double the initial figure, so that would be around 8k casts. Trust me on this. I am did 4k casts on Aviansies which have much lower defence and that only got me about 50exp per cast on avg. Doing Metal Dragons will not be as easy, they have a very high Defense compared to Aviansies therefore you WILL splash often. I would really say your going to need 6.5k casts at the very least, 8k max. **Thanks to Boo_Boy666 for my amazing Singnature**[hide=Slaytanicc's Achievments]|99Cooking achieved 24Dec 2008|99Strength achieved 17Feb 2009|99Hit Points achieved 8April 2009||99Defense achieved 29May 2009|99Attack achieved 2August 2009|99Ranged achieved 14August 2009|[/hide][hide=Guides by Slaytanicc]Aviansie Maging + Ranging Guide (Must Read!!)Iron Mining + Banking GuideGreen Dragons GuideAnkou Slaying Guide[/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact maging metal drag is a good option, it just gets expensive that is why other prefer to either melee or range them.

kdb148 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Maging them at 82 with bolt spells is not going to work very well. You are going to miss most of your spells, and not get a decent amount of drops.

llamster Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Why metals? It's awful xp and you lose money even with visages (1/10000 chance, 5k or so cost per kill. Do the math.) To answer your question, around 5000. Ah, this reminds me about the noob on the Runescape forums who was upset with the quest "Cold War" because apparently his grandparents died in the war. :wall: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
