The Quest to Level 70 Magic

[heart_of_ink]

The title pretty much speks for the goal. I wish to get level 70 magic, but using only ranging to accomplish it. The only possible way for me to do this is play Pest Control, which is, in my opinion, the most painfully (literally) boring mini-games in RuneScape. The last time i played it, I was going for 80 strength, but had to duck out at level 75 due to carpal tunnel :(. This time, I will be playing in moderation, and, as I have previously mentioned, all the points will be going to magic.

 

 

 

Why Range? Well, as most of us know, magic is pretty expensive to level quickly and effectively. To set me at more of a disadvantage, I only have 11k. As probably none of you know, my ranging level is, as of now, 55. So why not kill three birds with one stone? Play some pc, gain some serious levels, get muchos goldos pieceinos.

 

 

 

I'm going to try to update this at least once a day, which should keep it alive as long as you people post, too. I know you're there.

 

 

 

Right now, I'm making 3k steel darts, which will be used as my chief ranging weapon for Pest Control. I'll probably run out, but luckily I have a few thousand arrows in my bank to back me up without interruption.

 

 

 

During my goal, I will be wearing...

 

D-med

 

Darts

 

Dragonhide body (green)

 

D'hide vambs (green)

 

D'hide legs (green)

 

D'Team 26 cape

 

Der Fighting Boots

 

 

 

What do you know They all begin with D.

 

 

 

Day: 1:

 

I decided to do a little math before I start. To get to level 70, I'll need 513,928 XP. If I cash in my XP every 100 points, I should get this in 800 games, which is slightly more than I want to spend doing this. I'll go scrounge up some runes in my bank and see what I can do.

 

 

 

The runes I have are...

 

18 laws

 

333 bodies

 

1691 waters

 

33 cosmics

 

1142 nats

 

1018 airs

 

51 deaths

 

23 chaoses

 

18 minds

 

76 earths

 

 

 

Not a whole lot I can do with that. I do have 922 pure ess, so I guess I could make some more body runes and cast curse during Pest Control. I could fletch or something and then High Alch the stuff I make. Other than that, I'm stuck with 800 games of pest control.

 

 

 

Day: 2:

 

I forgot one very important aspect for my plan to work: I need to WIN some of the games. Unfortunately, some people would rather talk and trade than actually win, so I guess I'm stuck for a while. I will still persevere, and it would be a great help if someone told me good pc worlds, other than 78.

 

 

 

Day: 3:

 

Okay, it's official. Noobs hinder my chance of doing this with ranging, so I'm taking a different attack on it. I'm going to collect 1,000 seaweed, turn it into 1,000 soda ash, then get 1,000 buckets of sand, make 1,000 molten glass, then turn them into 1,000 uncharged orbs. I'll get my crafting to level 54, then make 1,000 water staves and high alch them. I can use the money to buy some serious death runes, and just cast fire blast from there on out.

 

 

 

Day: 4, 5 & 6:

 

Not a whole lot happened these days. I collected my 1k seaweed, and turned it into 1k soda ash, then I got some sand and made 1k molten glass, which in turn went to be 1k uncharged orbs. I went to the dungeon when I realised that I didn't have the crafting level necissary to make those staves, but I also didn't have my grapple. I can still enchant the orbs (I hope), but I can't attach them to staves.

 

 

 

Day: I lost count:

 

Still not a whole lot. I have about 680 more staves to make. I finished all of my runes, so I started attaching the orbs to the staves, which got me to 55 crafting and 400k. I spent it all on cosmic runes. If everything goes right, I'll have 2 mil. Yay!

Spot on, but I'm not sure I have enough money. And Besides, I'll just get to 60 range and get red D hide.

[salim123]

iim sure i have an extra set of blue in my bank

 

and it only costs 10k

Your calculations are incorrect! :o

 

 

 

You're just looking at it from your current level. Sooo... you'll actually have far less games than that when you level up your point value will increase as well.

 

 

 

So basically, shoot for 800 and you won't get to 800 because you wont need to. That's what I love about Pest Control Math, just shoot for a goal and be pleasently surprised when you're only halfway there but you've completed the goal.
