help with the Mage Training Arena items and crafting!

[otb123]

I recently have earned a Mage's book from the Arena and I've spent something like 600-700k gp on the runes spent. My magic level is now 74.

 

 

 

Now I'm wondering should I continue with the Bones to Peaches spell, as from the ratio it might require an extra of something like 300k gp as well as up to 2 days of time for that.

 

 

 

And on the other hand, I am also hesitating about whether to purchase the Master Wand and if so, through the G.E. or upgrade from Teacher Wand bought at the G.E. with pts in the Arena.

 

The G.E. avg price for Master Wand is about 470k and the Teacher Wand 25k, with an extra of about 350k gp for the runes involved. However, I'm not sure whether the bonus +20 magic attack is well worth its price on the pretext that it has no supply of free runes...

 

 

 

Last but not least, I'm currently at 59 crafting and need to get to 61 for the Lunar Diplomacy quest, and do you guys have any suggestions on which way(s) I can do it nice and quick and probably even have much fun?

 

 

 

Thanks a lot for the time :P

At 58 crafting you can make earth battlestaffs. If you buy the staffs from Zaff in Varrock, wearing your Varrock diary armour gives you the opportunity to buy 16, 32 or 64 staffs, depending on what armour you have earned. This is good for crafting and if you high-alch the staffs, you make 2300 gp on each one. Depending on how much money you have, you could consider making green d'hide vambraces and high-alching them. This will lose you some money (about 200-250 gp for each one including tanning plus 1 nature rune) but is good experience.

 

 

 

Bones for peaches spell is great to have especially if you don't have Guthan's or the use of a bunyip. It can only be cast on normal bones but is really useful if you want to camp out at dust devils or the like. It's worth getting, and once you have it, you have it for good.

 

 

 

I earned a mage's book when they cost 5 million gp a few months before GE came out. Great bonus, but I never used the wands due to the fact that they were too expensive back then. These days, I doubt I would bother. In my opinion, you'd be better off in the long run with a battlestaff that gives you infinite runes of one type or another.

 

 

 

I have 98 mage and 90 crafting if you wondering about my knowledge on this. I would thoroughly recommend you start doing battlestaffs as one of your daily chores if you don't already as it's good profit and good for crafting.

Regarding crafting:

 

 

 

If you have the money or feel like killing Green Dragons for hides, my advice would be to make green d'hide vambs and then alc them, once you reach 60, make chaps.

 

 

 

If you have little money to spend you can also buy silver ore/bars and make tiaras or sickles.

 

 

 

Also, if you have the gems (or wish to mine them at Shilo, but this will take longer) you could make and enchant strenght amulets, rings of dueling and gaming necklaces and sell them in g/e.
