Well i currently only have lvl 15 mage, and i was wondering should i raise it by earth strike(1 air 1 mind) or fire strike (2 air 1 mind)...there is a 2exp difference per cast, and a 2 point difference in max hits...

 

and by the way im not doing curse fail i wanna raise hitpoints as well....any info is appriciated...thanks

Anbody.....? i got both fire and earth staff so difference would save me a few thousand air runes or should i just buy them and use fire strike...i have around 100k to spend

well i have 3k airs (bought them from 6-13gp each) and i have 1.5k minds(littlemore) and i am wondering if i should bump it up to 3k minds to cast earth strike or keep the 2:1 ratio and go with fire strike...anybody

It depends on whether you go for speed or cost effectiveness. Obviously fire strike is costing you about 50% more than earth strike, for faster xp. It really depends on whether you mind spending that little bit extra for the speed.

 

 

 

If you want to know what I would do, I would fire strike. But thats just me.

if you really are strapped for cash, earth strike would be good enough

 

 

 

You have to find yourself to draw a line between cost and speed. I would find that Fire strike is sufficiently faster to allow me to invest in the airs, however i cannot see myself investing in death runes over chaos when on members for example they have a 1 hit difference.

have you done witch potion and imp catcher allready? my mage lvl was as low as yours, so then I did those 2 quests to have more options. or buy wizard mind bombs in the bar in falador. that way you will have an higher level and you can increase your level faster because the more difficult spells give you more xp.

 

 

 

hope this helps (a bit)

Damage dealing spells give mage exp as

 

MageExp = BaseExp + 2*HitDone

 

 

 

So if you assume that you make an average hit of Max/2, then

 

for Earth strike you get: expected earth strike Exp = 9.5+2*(6/2) ~= 15

 

and

 

for Fire strike you get: expected fire strike Exp = 11.5+2*(8/2) ~= 19

 

 

 

And just FYI, Curse always gives 29 mage exp

 

and HP exp is always HitDone*4/3.

 

 

 

So, your expected Earth strike HP exp is 4 and expected fire strike HP exp is 5.3

 

 

 

Hope this helps.
