And arcane stream as other guy mentioned

[LitterBug]

Why get onyx (i)?

 

Seers ring (i) is better

[Jeff Delu]

Arcane spirit shield would be even better than mages book but it is a little costly. And theres always virtus robes if you really want to spend some cash :P

Seers ring (i) is better

if hes fighting something and completely does not need def then yeah.

Assuming ice barrage or fire surge:

 

- The best magic weapon is a chaotic staff, but it's probably not worth using for general training if your income is low. For PVP and MHing, though, it's invaluable.

- Second best is a staff of light. You'll use this for general training due its rune-saving ability. It's not as good as a chaotic staff, however.

- Third best is a master wand. It has the highest accuracy of any magic weapon, but the damage modifier is a little low.

- Void mace with claws of guthix is a possibility at lower magic levels.

 

Looking at your stats, a staff of light is what you should be using. You should start dungeoneering, though, as people without chaotics generally lose to people who have them.

 

Furthermore, you need an arcane stream necklace. It has a +15% damage modifier, and it's just as important as your staff when maging. With an arcane necklace and chaotic staff, your damage modifier is +30%, which is huge.

 

Your gear should be (assuming normal combat training):

Farseer helmet (doesn't degrade; same magic accuracy as Ahrim's hood)

Ahrim's top/bottom

Infinity boots

Barrows gloves

Ardougne cape 3/god cape/soul wars cape (depends on whether or not you're praying and how extensively)

Seers or seers (i)

Arcane stream necklace

Arcane spirit shield > farseer kiteshield > mages book ~= blessed spirit shield (depending on defense needed)

Chaotic staff > staff of light

 

It's beyond me why no-one has been able to provide this information. You have soul split, so you usually won't need any defense at all. Use a vecna skull or magic potions - these are mandatory.

Staff of light is best when barraging a lot of things at the same time, for charms or profit - a 15% cost reduction at nearly no loss in damage output is great. But yeah, Obtaurian covered it.
