I like it, although it is a bit heavy on the text side but with the images not working that might be a good thing. You might want to expand the tips and tricks sections because this info is also what the guardians tell you.

I also made one, even if it is a .doc... On another post :)

 

 

 

If you scroll in that post down a little bit you'll find the text only version lol...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Good job thou!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You too =P

 

 

 

Maybe Tipit can take stuff from both of ours and smuch them together.

Nice guide. Can you tell which of the four gives the best xp, and how that xp relates to regular in-game xp before the update was released? And can you get all of your rewards playing only one game? Or do you need to play all four to get everything.

Nice guide :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Best exp by far is the enchantment game imo.

 

 

 

Worst exp is probably the telekinesis game, altho bones to bananas comes close.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Relative to the 'normal' game i'm not sure, but even at 250 gp for cosmics the higher level enchantment spells are cheaper than most high level spells to cast. I enjoyed the enchantment game, and have gained about 100k exp on it today. I found the telekinesis game incredibly boring and wasn't a big fan of graveyard either.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You have to play every mini game to buy anythign from the shop - as the guide says the point rewards are specific to each game.

So is this a good way to train magic?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's expensive, there's no denying that.

 

 

 

But it's kinda entertaining, and i've found it's given a lease of new life to a skill i was getting bored of training.

In ideas on how to make the Telekinese game somewhat entertaining? To be honest, I can't see what Jagex was thinking. You need to do 100's of these games to collect all items, yet there's only a handful of mazes, which are mind-numbingly easy, and require a pointlessly large amount of time and running :roll:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not to mention the xp is crap.

O.O Iggy did well! It actually helped me alot =)

 

 

 

feh, you just saying that =P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To others: Eheheh, I was running real low on runes before this update. ^^;; I used up my last few already so I'll have to get more to check up on xp values.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Though I don't need runes for Alchemy!!!! *dances for free alchemy arrow*

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But i do need them to test out the other rooms more... Ack, just used up my last batch of ess for cosmics.

Great Start to the Guide. Best looking so far.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some tips I found or thought of:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Graveyard: Go with mudstaff, or earth or water staff plus opposite runes. Nothing else in inventory if you can help it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Don't look for good bones, just pick up 12 bones, cast and deposit. Bone type change every 4th click, so this will full up your inventory after you cast spell.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Use a bone spot near the deposit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Is there a safe spot in there to eat bananas?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Go fast, and use nurses at Duel arena to heal you back. You can eat bananas to heal, but this is VERY SLOW.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Telekinetic: Just go fast, it's an easy but time consuming puzzle. Use an air staff.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Alchemy: Anyone try bringing in noted boots? The other items are far too pricey to alchemy your own. I doubt Jagex would allow it, but has anyone tried it?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Only alchemy items that are worth 30 or have the green arrow by them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Be a sport and call out "HERE!!!" if you find the cabinet worth 30 or has green arrow. Encourages teamwork.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Deposit your money often. If you log out with gp in your inventory, you will lose it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Enchanting: Some rooms have 2 shapes by each other. Stand inbetween and wait for one of the two bonus shapes to show up. Best way is get 13 of each item if you have inventory and wait for bonus to show up. You save 50% of your time doing this, if not more.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I heard (not confirmed) if you right click on hole, you can put all orbs in at once. Been nice to know that.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mud staff and lave staffs are your friends. Even though xp in the game is decreased 25%, it's still very fast mage xp.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gather cosmic runes at either Wildy Bank or Al Kharid. May be difficult for the next few weeks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Store Item Cost: First, it may be worth while to save up for Bones to Peaches spell. Not sure until some posts the benefits of this spell.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The points you use to buy the items cost you runes to buy, but you got Magic XP already from using the runes. The store items are more like rewards for your time. You could waste much more money casting Cammy Teleport over and over and have nothing but XP to show for it, but people do that without complaining.

I dont have a conclusive answer, but after watching other people interacting with the cupboards i dont think it's the same for everyone. If it is there's a lot of stupid people running away from free alcs :P

I can confirm that. Didn't know for my first hundred points :/

On a tangent to this - if you're aiming for the master wand, or even think you might want it, don't buy the beginner wand (unelss you're desperate to show it off to people who wont be that impressed now it's been out a few hours anyway). By saving up the points you're not committing yourself, so when the first people get master and tell us all about it you can decide whether to get the beginner and all the upgrades, or to go for one of the other items that has better stats in your eyes :)

I've updated a few things including the total cost of the master wand and the Infinity Robes.

 

 

 

I'll fill in the blanks later.

Teacher Wand:

 

 

 

+15 att +15 def

 

 

 

Master:

 

 

 

+20 att +20 def

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Do you have a picture of the Master Wand? Where did you get this info from?

Other things of note

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Alchemy: You can trade gp INSIDE the alchemy room. So you could conceivably alchemy items for 12k gp (400 nats) and trade this to a lazy guy back for 400 nats. You get free experience, he gets easy Alchemy points.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Work as a team. Seriously. Have 8 guys all goto a specific cabinet so that all can quickly find the correct cabinet. Better than wasting time trying to find the correct cabinet yourself.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Enchanting: Dragon stones save you about 10 cosmics point wise. They're not tradeable, so not a buy points quick option.
