Anceint magiks

Do you still need anceint staff to auto cast anceint spells?

[shawn3090]

No, but the staff gives +10% magic damage, so it would be better to use it than a staff which doesn't give the bonus.

well im gonna be going rock lobs and all the water runes is gonna be pretty expensive

All the more reason you'll want that added magic attack bonus :thumbsup:

 

OT: I thought it was 15% bonus...?

[Troacctid]

I suppose ideally you'd use a Void Knight Mace, which gives you a +6 prayer bonus in addition to the +10% damage. A master wand would also be superior to an ancient staff, as it gives more magic attack and lacks the -1 prayer thing.

you won't get a noticeable difference with the 10% magic boost, so use a water staff.

Well its actually a 10% boost to damage, meaning you will get a notice in how much exp u get.

Not different in charms per hour, and I'm positive the money saved by using water staff will far outweight the extra EXP granted by a small damage boost,

Ice burst requires 4 chaos, 2 death and 4 water.

4 chaos=372 (93*4)

2 death=784 (392*2)

4 water=140 (35*4)

Total=1296 (372+784+140)

 

1296/10=129.6

 

You save 10gp per cast, but you lose out on a nice magic and/or prayer bonus. That means you sav about 5k/hour, but it takes longer per kill.

[brunokiller]

Cost of one water burst(no water staff) is 1296 gp ^

With water staff the cost is 1156.

 

Let's say the spells do x damage.

 

Then the water staff user pays 1156 gp for x damage, and without water staff, you pay 1296 gp for 1.1 * x damage.

 

Cost per damage is therefore 1156/x gp for the water staff user, and 1178/x for the master wand user. The immense magic attack bonus of the master wand outweighs this.

The added +10% to spell damage outweighs any water rune costs.
