Magic and Ranged

[Cheat]

Right well I've finally managed to get the hang of this flipping malarky and along with barrows I'm managing to slowly amass a nice cash pile. Finally got myself 70 prayer :) Anyway to point:

 

I wish to train my mage level fairly high (94+) and I am wondering about the best way to do this and the amount of time each stage will take and how much it will cost. So my current plan is:

 

- Superheat gold ore with goldsmithing gauntlets until I have 70 smithing required for 'The Void Stares Back' - I think this should get me about 80 Mage although this could be off.

 

- Once 80 mage is achieved string amulets until about 85.

- How much does this cost?

- Do the amulets actually sell at all well?

 

- From 85 onwards I will burst rock lobs and ape atoll skeletons switching between the two as to not get too insanely bored. Probably starting at Ape Atoll for the faster experience and moving on to Rock Lobs with a higher mage level.

 

How does this sound?

 

Range: 95+

 

- Get 80 doing slayer and other things utilising my cannon on some tasks.

- At 80 move on to chins at Ape Atoll. Do I really need void for this ? Or will a high mage attack suffice ? How long does void take on the veterans boat?

 

So basically I want these starts partly because I find the skills useful and I have always wanted to train them but one slight other thing was the possibility of duo Arma with 95 + ranged and 94+ Mage what sort of Defence level would I need ? Are these stats good enough to do it? I don't mind if I'm not the most efficient Armadyl killer ever - however is this another one of those ' Theres no point unless you have have Turmoil, Overloads a Packyak and Chaotics' ?

 

Slightly rambling I know anyway thanks for the help guys.

Amulets sell well because there's an npc (rogue) who buys them, so that's ok. The unstrung ones are made by low-levelled (f2p) crafters, so that's good too.

 

Your plan sounds good to me tbh, switch to barraging once you can.

 

Defence level isn't so important for duo arma, go for 80 or 90 or whatever.

 

Duo arma doesn't require the gear Nex or Graardor does because the boss is easier & the competition lower, but I'd still recommend a unicorn.

You get range passively through so many activities that there is no need to chin past 95 or so. Chin to 95 and 99 will come in time.

Just curious, exactly what activities give you range?

Circus, and slaying with a cannon mainly.

And if you want it a bit faster while doing slayer, knives on greater demons with a fero ring and chinning nech tasks are good exp without much loss.

Regarding that I would need a unicorn. If I bursted/barraged lobs to say level 96 from 85 how many charms would I get/what level in summoning would I get?

Barraging all the way (smoke barrage at first, moving on to ice later) would be around 1 crim per 1k magic xp I think, maybe more. Which would be around 6k crimsons for that lot of barraging if not more, or at the very least 1.8m xp. You also get some experience in gold, green and blue. You need around 4.5m xp for a unicorn, so you would need a bit more than just that bout of barraging. You could try black demons for ranged xp and slayer.
