Who Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Mage Training Arena (MTA) UPDATE - June 09, 2008 - Removed profit gain (Two reasons for this. First, the forum rollback. Second, with the GE changing the prices so randomly, I don't find a point anymore. The guide will still have the part of how much it costs to get the item, but you can figure out your net profit yourself. UPDATE - December 31, 2007: - Updated prices- Added my comments on each item- Fixed a broken hide link causing half the guide to have white text- An improved diagram for the Alchemist's Playground added UPDATE - June 30, 2007: - Fixed some minor mistakes- Updated prices UPDATE - April 04, 2007: - Removed some unnecessary pictures.- Added spoiler tags on pictures for people with bad computers.- Fixed some small grammar mistakes and added some more content in some parts.- New calculations to relate to price changes.- Replaced Telekinetic Theatre formula with the one I think is more correct.- Edited the Alchemist Playground pattern to make it neater.- Removed Sapphire-Ruby enchant for pricing. I don't know what I was thinking. Who the hell uses those? #-o Besides if your using those enchant spells, you probably ain't here to make serious cash.- Prices have been changed accordingly. Just a little comment by me._____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ First of all I would like to thank everyone for their time for reading this, and the people who have already made guides for the Mage Training Arena. I think you guys did a great job, but there was something missing. I'm not sure what but this guide will cover everything. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Section One: Introduction Section Two: Why should I go there?

Runes Section Ten: Final Things & Credits _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Section One: Introduction Welcome to the Mage Training Arena, an ancient ground used by Third Age Mages to practice the art of magic. This place was defecated upon by the Warriors and the Rangers, as they had no special place to practice their techniques. Soon after the construction of this facility, it was quickly destroyed by said Warriors and Rangers. But now of the Fifth Age, this place has been discovered by a wandering mage. He rebuilt this place by hand, and used his powerful magic to create "Guardians", to protect the arena and reward mages for their effect. As of now, this facility stands, awaiting curious wizards to test their skills, wits, and courage. I welcome you here, and I hope you enjoy your stay... _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Section 2: Why should I go there? Well, for starters, this place is a godsend for magic experience. The rewards are also another reason why you would go there. Want a new spell? Here's the place to get it. The Bones to Peaches spell await anyone that gains enough Pizazz points. It is an improved version of the Bones to Bananas spell, healing 8 HP per! Want to look cool? The infinity robes are the way to go. Not only do you get more magic bonus then mystic robes, but you look real fruity, in a good way! So whether you want magic exp, some new armour, or a new spell, you should at least give this place a try. You might like it. :wink: _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Section 3: Getting There It isn't very hard to get there. There are many methods, shown in this map. [hide=Map to Mage Training Arena][/hide] Method 1 (Orange): Ring of Dueling Rub your Ring of Dueling, choose Duel Arena, and walk there. Method 2 (Red): Gnome Glider [hide=Gnome Glider map][/hide] From your current Gnome Glider, go to "Ta Quir Priw" (Grand Tree), and then go to "Kar-Hewo" (Al-Kharid) and then walk. Method 3 (Yellow): Amulet of Glory Rub your Amulet of Glory, choose Al-Kharid, and walk there. Method 4 (Green): Lumbridge/Home Teleport Teleport to Lumbridge, go through the border gate, and walk there. Method 5: (Blue): Canoes From any Canoe Station, make a canoe and go to Lumbridge, then go through the border gate, and walk there. Method 6 (Purple): Crossbow Grapple Go to Lumbridge, into the swamps, and grapple the tree, then walk._____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Section Four: Point Conversion 4a. Introduction Using mathematical formulae, you can determine how much runes you need for a particular item. These formula's aren't 100% accurate, but they should give you an estimate of how many runes you will need. Feel free to correct my formulas. 4b. Telekinetic Theatre 8.3 * 5 = 41.5 41.5 - 10 = 31.5 31.5 / 5 = 6.3 6.3 / 18 = 0.35 Average Law Runes used per maze (8.3) multiplied by the Number of mazes done (5) - Law Runes gained for 5 mazes done (10) = 31.5 Law runes used per 5 mazes Law Runes used for 5 mazes (31.5) / Number of mazes (5) = 6.3 Law Runes per maze including bonus ones. Law Runes per maze (6.3) / Points per 5 mazes earned (18) = 0.35 of a point per Law Rune 4c. Creature Graveyard This doesn't require a precise formula, as 16 fruit is clearly stated as to equal one point. But assuming you have at least 16 per cast: Bones in inventory (16) = Fruit in inventory (16) Fruit in inventory (16) = Points gained (1 Point per Nature Rune) 4d. Alchemist's Playground This once again doesn't require a formula as 100 coins equals 1 point. You could use 100 coins as a percentage to conclude that: Coins needed for a point (100) / Coins obtained from alching (1,5,8,15,30) = 0.01, 0.05, 0.08, 0.15, or 0.3 of a point per Nature Rune Note that you only get points for 100 integer numbers (100, 200, 500, etc). If you deposit 101, or 999, you would only get 1 or 9 points respectively. 4e. Enchantment Center This one gets confusing because people use different enchantment spells. Use the numbers in the chart below, and depending on your spell, replace the X variable with it. Take note that you only get points for enchanting 10 shapes in a row. If you enchant 9 shapes using Diamond enchant, you won't get any points, but enchanting 1 more will get you 14 as the chart shows. You get 10 default points after enchanting 10 shapes plus a bonus amount depending on the enchant spell you use. Sapphire = 1 (This is the value of the bonus points you get for enchanting 10 points)Emerald = 2 (The pattern continues as each enchantment spell higher than the previous gives 1 more bonus point)Ruby = 3Diamond = 4Dragonstone = 5Onyx = 6 10 + X = Sapphire = 11Emerald = 12Ruby = 13Diamond = 14Dragonstone = 15Onyx = 16 The points listed above all require 10 Cosmic Runes. Now to determine how many points a Cosmic Rune is worth. Replace the X variable with the spell numbers above. X / 10 Sapphire = 1.1 PointEmerald = 1.2 PointRuby = 1.3 PointDiamond = 1.4 PointDragonstone = 1.5 PointOnyx = 1.6 Point Well to summarize, here is the worth of each rune: Law = 0.35 of a point Nature (Graveyard) = 1 (or more depending on held bones/fruit) Nature (Alchemy) = 0.3 (assuming you only alch the item worth the most at the moment) Cosmic = X (Replace X with spell)_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Section Five: The Telekinetic Theatre 5a. Introduction Welcome to the Telekinetic Theatre, your most boring destination during your stay. Get some music, talk on some chat program, browse the forums, do anything to keep you sane here. If your looking for exp, look elsewhere. This is the worst place for exp. The objective of this place is to move the statue from the starting point, to the ending point (Black Square). Make sure to click on the statue's observe option to get a full view of the place. [hide=Before Observing][/hide] [hide=After Observing][/hide] 5b. Equipment [hide=Equipment for the Telekinetic Theatre][/hide] Multi-tasking is good here. With this set up, you get free arrows, and free death runes from the kitten you're raising with the fish. Energy Potions so you never stop running. Air staff for infinite Air Runes and Law Runes for the Telekinetic Grab spell (Level 33 Magic Required). Boots of Lightness for less weight (Penance gloves too if you have them) and don't forget your Progress Hat! 5c. Strategies You can get around 100 points an hour here. To save time, always use the corners. You don't have to stand directly in front of the statue to move it, only on the same side. [hide=Spots to Telegrab][/hide] Notice the orange spots. Those are the only spots you should stand to Telegrab. It will save time and energy. 5d. Maze Solutions [hide=Maze Solutions] [/hide]_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Section Six: The Creature Graveyard 6a. Introduction The Creature Graveyard, a very deadly place. It is where all the bones of the monsters go if they were not buried. It is the only place that you can die here because the falling bones will hit constant 2's on you. But if you die, fear not. You won't lose any items, only 10 Graveyard Pizazz points. 6b. Equipment [hide=Equipment for Creature Graveyard][/hide] This is what you should wear before entering. The food is for people who do not have Bones to Peaches Spell. For people who do however... [hide=Equipment for the Creature Graveyard with Bones to Peaches][/hide] Just take away the food. You can use Bones to Peaches spell to heal yourself up and stay forever. Note that Bones to Peaches tablets WILL NOT WORK! The prayer attire is for the use of the prayer Rapid Heal (Level 22 Prayer needed). It doubles the restoration of the HP stat. Protection prayers won't work here so don't try. The Mud Staff gives infinite Water and Earth Runes so it's perfect here. You can replace it with a Earth/Water Staff, but you will need to bring extra of the opposite rune. The runes shown in my inventory are rewards you get for depositing fruit. For every point you get, you also get either 1 Earth, Water, Nature, Death, or Blood Rune. 6c. Strategies Don't die. Is rule one here. You may think that by dying and restoring your HP you save food. But that's bad because you lose 10 Graveyard Pizazz points, and you'd be lucky to even get that much before you need to eat. So don't die. You need Level 15 Magic for Bones to Bananas and 60 for Peaches. There are 2 ways I found very effective here: The Blue Bones Method: [hide=The Blue Bones Method][/hide] You can get around 100 Points an hour here. Once again, this is a bad place for exp. The picture above labels the important things. The Bone Chart is important to see the value of each bone. And by value I mean how many fruit you will get by using a Bones to spell. Blue Bones: 4Black Bones: 3White Bones: 2Yellow Bones: 1 It is best to fill your entire inventory, or 16 at least. 4 Blue Bones gets 16 so this is why it is a good method. To get your points, you must deposit the fruit into the Food Chute, which is done by clicking on it. Four Space Method: [hide=Four Space Method][/hide] Once again you can see the Bone Chart, and the Bone Pile. You can also see the space between the Bone Pile and the Food Chute. Exactly 4 spaces. This method is good because all you do is grab the bones, change them into fruit, and deposit in the chute, which is a short distance away._____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Section 7: The Alchemist's Playground 7a. Introduction Welcome to the Alchemist's Playground, where Alchemy mages roam freely. The only thing you need to worry about is lagging out here, as if you do, all your coins will disappear, which is the key to your points. As long as you deposit your coins often, you won't have to worry about that. This place is also one of the best places to get magic exp. You get 65 exp per High Alch and an extra 60 exp. The extra exp comes from the item you alch, because Coins * 2 = exp. But you only get this exp when you deposit the coins. The Coin Collector is at the end. Last thing to note, only deposit your coins if it is a 100 numeral. Eg. 100, 200, 1000, etc. You don't get fractions of a point so do this to save alchs. 7b. Equipment [hide=Equipment for the Alchemist Playground][/hide] You don't need much here. Just a Fire/Lava Staff, some Nature Runes, and your Progress Hat. 7c. The Pattern There is a pattern here. I'm surprised many people don't know it, because I see a lot of people checking every drawer or running around like crazy. Well I'll try to explain the pattern as simply as I can. [hide=The Pattern][/hide] You see 3 things in the picture above. The main screen of Runescape, the mini map (Compass is in the North direction), and the Alchemist Conversion Chart. Where the character is standing is where the item "Rune Longsword" is located. This is shown on the mini map as my character's white dot. The Conversion Rate of the Rune Longsword right now is 30 gp, the highest. Now here is where the pattern begins. If you move south one drawer, to the green dot on the mini map, and search the drawer, you will find an Emerald 100%. Note that the Emerald is always going to be after the Rune Longsword. Go south another drawer and search that one, you will get Adamant Helm, 100%. This rule also applies, that the Adamant Helm will always be after the Emerald. So by following the rule, Adamant Kiteshield is after Adamant Helm, and Leather Boots is after Adamant Kiteshield. Now when you get to the Leather Boots, there will be 3 blank drawers, always. After those 3 drawers it goes back to the Rune Longsword. The pattern is basically following the Alchemy Conversion Chart, going up from the bottom. Which is counter clockwise. Here is a better diagram provided by Jondea0: Remember that it goes counter clockwise. And that the pattern will always apply. As long as you find 1 of the items and not a blank, you should be able to locate the 30 gp item or the free item (Green arrow next to it) on your second try, assuming that your first try you found an item. Last thing to note is to always check the drawer you are currently at when the prices change. It might be the item you're looking for. 7d. Strategies Once again there are 3 good methods to use. Note that you need 21 magic for Low Alchemy and 55 for High Alchemy Stockpile Method: I don't use this method, but it works I guess. If for some strange reason you don't understand the strategy (Which I did my very best to explain :wall: ), then this is the next best thing you can do. [hide=Stockpile Method][/hide] Basically get like 10 of 2 different items and fill the rest of your inventory space with another item. Wait until one of those items is either free to convert, or costs 30 gp, and then alch. When you finished alching and the prices change, if you don't have anything worth alching, go stockpile another item. Finding Method: The Finding Method requires you to memorize the strategy I just explained above. If you can, it's about 100 Alchemy Points in 40 minutes if you alch fast. Free Exp Method: Horrible exp and horrible points, but it's free. Just alch the items that are free to convert (They have a Green arrow ( --> ) next to the name of the item). I guess it's good if your poor and have a low magic level._____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Section 8: The Enchantment Center 8a. Introduction The Enchantment Center. This is by far the best place to go for magic exp. With the highest spell, it rivals Pest Control for the best magic exp in the game. Take note that because of the easiness here, you will need more points here than anywhere else. But there are Dragonstones that you can enchant for bonus points. 8b. Equipment There are many set ups here as there are 6 different spell types you can use. Note that the Death and Blood runes are there for placeholders for the reward you get. You get 3 Death, Blood, or Cosmic Runes for every 20 orbs you deposit. [hide=Equipment for Onyx Enchant for the Enchantment Chamber][/hide] If you know your spells, you'll realize that all enchantment spells will only cost 1 Cosmic Rune if you have the respective staff to produce the elements. (Water, Air, Fire, Earth, Mud, Lava) in order of lowest to highest enchantment spell. 8c. Exp Reduction Chart This place is extremely good for exp, but there is a down side. All enchantment spells done here only give 3/4ths of their exp. This table will show how much exp each spell gives. Sapphire - 12.75 expEmerald - 27.75 expRuby - 44.25 expDiamond - 50.25 expDragonstone - 58.5 expOnyx - 72.75 8d. Strategies There are a few strategies here, some for points, some for exp. Note that if a shape is the Bonus Shape, then by enchanting it, you gain 1 free point. Dragonstone Method: Most people don't do this. But it is the fastest way to get points. Here is the Dragonstone Bonus Chart: Sapphire - 2Emerald - 4Ruby - 6Diamond - 8Dragonstone - 10Onyx - 12 It's around 2000 Enchantment points per hour if you use the higher leveled spells. There should be 6 Dragonstone spawns in the room, go get them all, enchant them with your highest spell, and then exit the room. Don't bother depositing orbs as you need 20 for bonus runes. Also don't log out in the Enchantment Center, log out after leaving. You saved yourself some running. Experience Method: This is pretty simple. Just fill your inventory with any shape, and enchant away. This is very fast exp. And make sure to deposit your orbs for those extra runes. Exp and Point Method: Not as fast as the world hopping method, and less Exp, but it works. Choose a corner, and go there. Pick up 13 of one shape, and 12 of another shape from the one pile that has different shapes. Wait for the Bonus to be one of the shapes you have and enchant._____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Section 9: Rewards 9a. Introduction The fruits of our labour. After countless hours you have enough for some infinity, or that new spell you want. But look here before buying to decide what suits your taste the best. O:) PS: These are only approximate estimates. It's always better to carry extra. 9b. Infinity Items Note: The requirements of wearing Infinity are 50 Magic and 25 Defence. Infinity Hat (The rest will be different because in Droolman's Equipable Items guide there is no Infinity Hat) +6 Magic Attack and Defence Points needed to buy: Telekinetic: 350Alchemy: 400Enchantment: 3500Graveyard: 350 Runes needed: Laws: Around 1000 Natures: Around 1700 Cosmics: Diamond - 438 Cosmics (All these numbers use the Dragonstone Method)Dragonstone - 350 CosmicsOnyx - 292 Cosmics Costs around 900,000 GP to buy with points. My 2 cents: The only reason to get this is to sell it, or wear it since it looks like a Sombrero :D Ahrim's Hood is a cheaper alternative offering the same Magic boost and better melee defences. Points needed to buy: Telekinetic: 400Alchemy: 450Enchantment: 4000Graveyard: 400 Runes needed: Laws: Around 1200Natures: Around 1900Cosmics:Diamond - 500Dragonstone - 400Onyx -334 Costs around 1,000,000 GP to buy with points. My 2 cents: This isn't a bad top, but most players will reach for their Mystic/Ahrims over this. Mystic is only lower by a few Magic bonus, and Ahrims outclasses it. Get it to sell, or wear, but I don't suggest training Magic with this. Points needed to buy: Telekinetic: 450Alchemy: 500Enchantment: 5000Graveyard: 450 Runes needed: Laws: Around 1400Natures: Around 2000Cosmics:Diamond - 625Dragonstone - 500Onyx - 417 My 2 cents: This isn't a bad bottom, but most players will reach for their Mystic/Ahrims over this. Mystic is only lower by a few Magic bonus, and Ahrims outclasses it. Get it to sell, or wear, but I don't suggest training Magic with this. Points needed to buy: Telekinetic: 175Alchemy: 225Enchantment: 1500Graveyard: 175 Runes needed: Laws: Around 500Natures: Around 900Cosmics:Diamond - 188Dragonstone - 150Onyx - 125 Costs around 475,000 GP to buy with points. My 2 cents: These gloves are tied with Dragon Gloves for the second best magical gloves in the game. The first being Barrows gloves. If you are a bad quester, or a pure, these are the gloves to go for. Points needed to buy: Telekinetic: 120Alchemy: 120Enchantment: 1200Graveyard: 120 Runes needed: Laws: Around 400Natures: Around 500Cosmics:Diamond - 150Dragonstone - 120Onyx - 100 Costs around 300,000 GP to buy with points. My 2 cents: The best magical boots in the game. Second best being Wizard boots. These boots are very cheap now, and I see no reason to choose Wizard boots over these. 9c. Battlestaff, Mage's Book, Wands and Bones to Peaches Battlestaff Points needed to buy: Telekinetic: 1Alchemy: 2Enchantment: 20Graveyard: 2 Runes needed: Laws: Around 10Natures: Around 7Cosmics: Around 2 Costs around 5,000 GP to buy with points. My 2 cents: An interesting addition to the Mage Training Arena roster of prizes. It is a good way to stock up on battlestaves, but getting Varrock Armour and buying it from Zaff is much better. Points needed to buy: Telekinetic: 500Alchemy: 550Enchantment: 6000Graveyard: 500 Runes needed: Laws: Around 1500Natures: Around 2300Cosmics:Diamond - 750Dragonstone - 600Onyx - 500 Costs around 1,300,000 GP to buy with points. My 2 cents: The best magical shield in the game, offensive and defensive wise. Alternatives include Zamorak/Guthix book for magic attack, and various shields for magical defence. Although costing a few million, it is a very good book that every mage should have. Take note that the protection value of this is very low, at a mere 200gp. Note on wands - You must have the lower level wands in order to buy a higher level one. For example, to buy an Apprentice Wand, you need the Beginner Wand. And for Master Wand, you need a Teacher Wand. Points needed to buy: Telekinetic: 30Alchemy: 30Enchantment: 300Graveyard: 30 Runes needed: Laws: Around 100Natures: Around 100Cosmics:Diamond - 38Dragonstone - 30Onyx - 25 Costs around 70,000 GP to buy with points. My 2 cents: If you are getting Master wand by yourself, and not just buying Teachers wand, then you have to get this. Otherwise, it isn't worth it. Points needed to buy: Telekinetic: 60Alchemy: 60Enchantment: 600Graveyard: 60 Runes needed: Laws: Around 200Natures: Around 300Cosmics:Diamond - 70Dragonstone - 60Onyx - 50 Costs around 170,000 GP to buy with points. My 2 cents: If you are getting Master wand by yourself, and not just buying Teachers wand, then you have to get this. Otherwise, it isn't worth it. Points needed to buy: Telekinetic: 150Alchemy: 200Enchantment: 1500Graveyard: 150 Runes needed: Laws: Around 500Natures: Around 900Cosmics:Diamond - 188Dragonstone - 150Onyx - 125 Costs around 470,000 GP to buy with points. My 2 cents: Not worth getting unless you're getting Master wand the hard way. Points needed to buy: Telekinetic: 240Alchemy: 240Enchantment: 2400Graveyard: 240 Runes needed: Laws: Around 800Natures: Around 1000Cosmics:Diamond - 300Dragonstone - 240Onyx - 200 Costs around 600,000 GP to buy with points. My 2 cents: If you buy a Teacher wand and plan to upgrade it, it is a huge loss of profit. This is not an item you want to get to make money. Bones to Peaches Spell (Requires 60 Magic to use. Only works on normal bones) Points needed to buy: Telekinetic: 200Alchemy: 300Enchantment: 2000Graveyard: 200 Runes needed: Laws: Around 600Natures: Around 1200Cosmics:Diamond - 250Dragonstone - 200Onyx - 167 Costs around 600,000 GP to buy with points. My 2 cents: A must have spell for any hardcore Slayer. Peaches heal 8 HP, and only work on normal bones. But this spell has a wide variety of uses including Barrows, GWD, Dust Devils, the possibilities are endless! 9d. Runes My 2 cents on all runes: I don't suggest buying runes with your points as you can only buy 1 at a time. Very annoying and much more worth it to buy an Infinity item, sell it, and buy the runes you desire. Elemental Combination Runes Points needed to buy: Telekinetic: 1Alchemy: 1Enchantment: 10Graveyard: 1 Runes needed: Laws: 8 (You get points only by completing the maze)Natures: 5 (Assuming you alch the 30gp all 4 times and had 16 bones using the last Nature Rune)Cosmics:Diamond - 2Dragonstone - 1Onyx - 1 Costs around 4,000 GP to buy with points. Cosmic Rune Points needed to buy: Enchantment: 5 Runes needed: Cosmics:Diamond - 1Dragonstone - 1Onyx - 1 Costs around 150 GP to buy with points Chaos Rune Points needed to buy: Alchemy: 1Enchantment: 5Graveyard: 1 Runes needed: Natures: 5Cosmics:Diamond - 1Dragonstone - 1Onyx - 1 Costs around 2,000 GP to buy with points Nature Rune Points needed to buy: Alchemy: 1Graveyard: 1 Runes needed: Natures: 5 Costs around 1,500 GP to buy with points.

Congratulations if you read it all. If you didn't, go back and read it! It's some very good information. There's one question during my 6 month stay at the Mage Training Arena that I couldn't answer. That question was prior to my goal, which is "When does the Progress Hat change color?" I guess I will never know, but I know one thing, with this many points I think my hat likes the little bit of orange left in it. :) [hide=And this is why I am the Master of the Mage Training Arena!][/hide]_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Credits: Time to give credit to where credit is due.

Inuashakent Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 The old stat pictures are so... small. Good times, and great pictures that are ... discontinued, as a Runescaper would said. As a brawler, I would say Hax. But that's just me. :lol: [Summoning guide (AOW)] [Slayer guide] [Melee & Brawl player] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 I never really thought anyone would bother checking street prices in this guide anymore, seeing as the GE (And various GE related programs) make it so much easier to keep track of. I'll probably update them just for the heck of it though.

Kolin Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Great guide, but quick question. Can you use familiars in MTA? I haven't bothered checking, but i'd assume no, since a bunyip / unicorn would make graveyard points so much easier, as well as spirit terrorbird for telegrab points.

kilthedemons Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 under the approx cost to buy bones to peaches, did you mean 60k instead of 600k? :shame: i might be wrong, but just saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kilthedemons Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 yeah, i just found my mistake.(though somehow i still only get 340k-2000 times 170) can you tell me where im wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Who Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share Posted November 25, 2008 600 Laws * 300gp + 1200 Natures * 230 gp + 250 Cosmics * 160 gp = 496,000 gp. This was written 2 years ago when Nature prices were 300 gp, so prices will be off, I'll probably update them during winter break.

Zekei Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Thank you! I got 71-73 Mage today, (Not for the new quest, but someday if thats what people are thinking) so that I can get my B2P for slayer. I finished my Enchantment points, quarter of the way through telekinetic and half way through enchantment. I hate enchantment lol, just cus with a trackpad it kills when your clicking so much to get the items etc... but still, great XP =D im 75k from 74 (w00t Shadow Barrage :lol: ) Anyhow... You deserve a lot of these: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: 99 Slayer... Never gonna trim you up.Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.[hide=Slayering Time][/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeltaFire26 Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 10/10 Awesome guide. The prices are way out of date, but I realize that you said that you aren't updating them anymore and I respect that because it's just too much of a pain (Nobody flame me, I realize this). I'll probably get btp soon using this guide. I already have the telekinetic points (most boring thing ever), and I'm working on the alchemy points now.

Aeon_ Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Good guide I may go MTA soon but you didn't put how many cosmic runes for BTP :thumbsup: EDIT:Nevermind just saw it. And on the current log-in screen it has 2 favourites you could use. Many believe that the 1980 eruption of Mt. Saint Helens was a catostrophic geological event, in reality it was the day that Jimi Hendrix returned to Earth from the next world and actually stood up next to a mountain and chopped it down with the edge of his hand.-Random Youtuber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeon_ Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 And in the Graveyard couldn't you use a bunyip/void spinner to heal you? Many believe that the 1980 eruption of Mt.

You could, but this guide was written like 2 years ago, also, I don't consider it that useful since the cost of pouches.

Aslan Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I have 2 questions for you, seeing as you're very good with MTA. : 1) Prices of the runes(they're just as a guideline). 275-blood rune 260-death rune 150-cosmic rune _______________ 1k enchants->roughly 50 deposits of 20 orbs(at which you get bonus) 50x3runes(random of the 3 above) ~50 cosmics ~50 blood->13750 ~50 death->13000 _________________+ 26750 gps/150=178 cosmics+50 from the bonus 772 cosmics used in 1k enchants. Are these calculations correct? 2)In the Enchantment Arena, you max out at 16k points that you can trade for 3.2k cosmics(5points/cosmic).Do you know a rate at which you get the 16k points, as in usually every X k enchants you get the 16k points.For the first part of the training(until 87), I will use 2 types of shapes because i have to move the mouse.After that, I will use only 1 type of shapes and mousekeys(added as extra info). I'd also like to thank you for inspiring me to get B2p.First thing that I unlocked in members.Great guide! : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
