Magic training?

[Leik]

Right, so I want to get 99 magic, but I want it to be strictly combat. I have about 110m to use, although I don't want use it all, since I plan on getting 99 Smithing shortly after.

 

Anyway, I was thinking about either Abyssals or Metals. I already have 99 Summoning, so don't suggest bursting lobs.

 

I would really appreciate if someone could give me a setup for both, inventory and how much I'll lose/make on average. I've tried finding some guides, but never found anything decent. Maybe I'm just blind.

 

My magic level is 96 and I have 99 Herblore if that's any use.

 

Thanks in advance. <3

I'm going to say that barraging/bursting is still your best bet. Obviously NOT at rock lobsters, since you have 99 summoning and hp, but Ape Atoll is a good option. Just follow the same strategy as chinning, but use SMOKE spells instead of water so you don't freeze the skeletons.

 

Otherwise, you're going to get some pretty fail xp.

 

EDIT: I did remember my friend telling me that surging Abbys was 70k+ xp/hr. I doubt this is true, but maybe it's worth testing?

Hmm.. Thanks. But I don't really care for the fastest method for this one. I'm really looking for relatively cheap method, but still decent exp.

You could always go Demby. Chaos gaunt on blue drags in the ogre enclave. You profit from bones/hides, and it isn't terrible xp. I'm not good at keeping track of xp/hour, but it's probably 50k~.

Well I'm sure it's maging abyssals then, since you will profit. In fact, mage anything profitable.

 

Maybe go kill a few thousand Rexes, that'll surely get you 99 mage and you'll profit like crazy.

 

Otherwise, any form of combat magic is either profitable and slow (killing profitable monsters) or fast but expensive (ancients).

I would mage rex but you could gain it through slayer tbh. Mage irons, steels, abyssal demons, ice stryewryms, and if ur bored, go on a Rex trip.

I have had no problem training metals to level 96 magic. It's relaxing and fun. Not tasking and boring, just how I play the game and seems like you would appreciate that. I don't ever really focus on exp rates but I would say 70k+ exp an hr wouldn't be far off fire surging, its much faster/better than the lesser spells thats for sure. Something to consider is maybe train your combat magic a few ways to mix it up. Make those last few levels go by alot quicker!

 

Heres a brief metals guide to what I wear. I think your smart enough to substitute anything you'd like.

 

 

Gear

Far seer Helm

Ahrims Top/Bottom

Infinity boots

Glory (same mage bonus as fury no reason to 'waste' a spot on fury if you disconnect/die/etc.)

Combat Bracer

Staff of Light (definitly save you some money so long as it doesn't hit rock bottom why you are using it)

Dragonfire shield

Ring of Wealth ( you will definitly see a positive difference by wearing, much more important than a few magic attack pts)

 

Inventory

1k coins (to get into dungeon/placeholder for alchs)

100 Nats (alch)

500 fires (alch)

4-5k Casts of Fire surge

Teletab

any axe/slash weapon (to cut through webs) I just bought a bunch of steels for dirt cheap and drop them soon as I'm through

Best summon Bob (I always fill up on as many dragon bones as I can when my trips coming to a close)

10-16 antifires

Some food incase your afking a bit much and get hit with firebreath.

If you're maging rex, you might get away with sol + fire surge. It hits somewhat lower than cog + void mace (322 vs. 330 max) but earns more xp (90+ for surge, 61+ for cog). Ice barrage + sol hits higher (345 max) but earns way less xp (52+), so it's not an option for you.

Right now im fire surging abbies at in the abyss. Its pushing 100k plus exp per hour, but I am extreme mage potting every time my mage falls below 100. The set up im using is pretty basic, ah with farseer helm and sol. What i do is I bring 8 ext mage (3) 1k casts of fire surge a uni and like 200 scrolls, after every uni pouch i leave to check my herbs. So far I've only done about 3k casts and have gotten about 2m profit plus cash from herbs.

did a 1 hour test, and got 111511 mage exp

String Jewelery :)

Considering you're going for 99 smithing afterwards, I'd suggest superheating gold.

 

100k magic and smithing exp per hour, and that's a fairly conservative rate, much higher if you're concentrated.

 

Edit: looking at your levels, superheating at edgeville furnace (while smelting) would also be a great option. It cuts down on the natures you need to buy, and would still get you 99 mage before 99 smithing.

What I've been doing is maging all the "mage able" tasks I get (Greater Demons, Abby Demons, Metal Drags). It costs a bit, but the drops from my other tasks usually make up for it.

[Leik]

Alright, thanks for all your advice :), but I've decided to mage Irons for 99 magic. It's fun and enjoyable, plus a chance of a visage is always nice. :P

 

Based on the trip I just did, it will cost me just under 7m and like I said, a chance of a visage sounds pretty good. It may not be the fastest method in the world, but it's fun and enjoyable and that's what it's all about, right? ;)

 

Thanks again. <3

Exactly this. I see no reason to do combat for mage when you plan on training a skill afterward that can link perfectly with magic.

I said I don't want to do skilling magics. Besides, I hate smelting bars, and combining those two things together is just awful from my point of view. Hate + Hate = More hate.

If your looking for the best magic xp with combat, red or blue dragons very good options

Using fire wave at red dragons(brimhaven) gives around 80-100k xp/hour.

I'd also suggest fire surge at dks, with god spells i got around 50k/hour before the arcane necklaces were released. Pretty sure you can push at least 70k with surge a sol and arcane stream with extremes. Problem is brews are more problematic with surge than with god spells, but it may be worth the hassle. With your 99 summoning you can make quite a bit of money using a pack yak as well.

 

Metals are also an option but I personally don't like them for their relatively high magic defense compared to other "mageable" monsters.

[jjjon123]

Alot of people have already put in thier opinion but anyway,

I've heard fire surging abysal demons is good dont know the exact xp though.

 

EDIT: theres a topic under this one atm that discusses maging abby demons and setups, look at that.
