Efficiency in Mage Training..

[Cheat]

After I've finished up getting overloads which will be soon I'm going to turn my hand to mage until I have enough peng points to get a decent dung level. Anyway back story out the way here are some questions.

 

1. I am 81 Mage at the moment looking to get higher and my summoning is a mere 57 so obviously I'm looking for the charms as well. Should I train my magic at rock lobsters from 81 or go to ape atoll for faster cheaper experience and then move to rock lobsters at a higher mage level?

2. What spells should I be using at what levels should I move to smoke barrage (86?) the instant I can or should I wait? If it makes a difference I am looking to spend not much more than 50m getting 81 - 95+ mage.

3. Should I use extreme magics to boost to high level spells at which case what spells should I boost to and from what level?

4. How many charms would I expect from getting 99 mage or thereabouts at rock lobsters (or atleast from the level I should do them?) Will it be enough for 96 summoning?

 

Thank-you for your help, much appreciated.

I'd say rock lobs straight away, smoke barrage with extreme magics could work, starting at 81 you'll need only 20/30 doses per hour, which means you can easily fit all the xmage pots for about an hour of barraging. At level 82 you'll only need 15/20 doses, so that's two hour trips, at 83 you'll need 12/15. If you don't want to bother potting just yet you can of course use ice burst.

 

You can get 200-250 crims/hr barraging, and about 200k magic xp or thereabouts? That gives you some ~55 hours to 99 magic, say upwards of 12k crims equivalent? That's around 4m xp, not enough to get a yak but close to a unicorn.

If you ever plan to max out/comp cape, do livid farm for some of your magic experience.
