Never had any interest in mage prior to eoc i slayed and staked thats it. Now with the eoc i am basically forced to mage and range due to the quickness of tasks with the weakness factor. I personally love it don't get me wrong the new combat system with mage and range has made it easier and cheaper to train. I have gotten 66-71 mage with splitbark wand.. The majority of my slay tasks involving mage are iron drags and wyverns which i need a shield for both. I have tried over and over to purchase a better wand such as grifoliric but no luck at ge even if i put in 200k.. I seen in w2 someone selling for 1m is it worth 1m now? Is there a better wand for my lv i can aquire? Any advice on mage armour/wands would be of great assistance. Thank you.

Personally find someone, such as a friend to craft you a wand if you need one.

 

You should post this in the help forum and post some stats too.

My non combat stats are awful like 56 craft im 85 slay combat stats are 97 att 99 str 79 def.. What type of wands are craftable i have friends with 99?

Batwing wand is a step up from splitbark, and is extremely affordable. You could probably go and buy it from the GE for under 15k now.

 

Grifolic onwards are better and much more expensive, but since you exploit weaknesses in slayer tasks the 450 hit bonus of batwing should easily be sufficient.

As a well seasoned world of warcraft player this EoC has made me feel more at home with runescape. When looking at getting new equipment you need to balance out the factors of price (either the item its self or the mats to make the item), stats (how much better is it to have the new item), and other items (Look at all your options to see if there is something else that can be similar in stats to the item you wish to have.) Now if you cant find something that is with in your price and gives you better stats, then you might want to look into training your skills to make up for what you lack in items. If need be, ask your clan/guild to help you out.

Thank you, that will help me alot much appreciated.

Mid1 if your still looking for batwing gear I have a full set I am willing to part with for much cheaper then the G.E. price

Im at work at the moment but add me sickofgrndrg ill be on later.

Thanks
