What is missed/fail curse training???

[yttrium88]

I have been looking for quite some time and I still can't find out what this is. Is this a real practice or is someone pulling my leg? If it is real, please explain.

When you miss/fail a curse, you still get the experience for casting it. This also lets you cast the curse on the same monster again. Just an easy way to train through curse spells, you so don't have to constantly switch monsters to curse.

[Quasar889]

Basicall, the idea is to get your magic attack bonus as low as possible.

 

 

 

You then go to the gnomic battlefield, and continually cast curse/weaken type s of spells. The reasoning behind this is that you will fail, but you still get exp from the the cast, so that you can likely cast it many times on one monster. The gnomic battlefield is good because of the sheer density of monsters.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you really want to do this, grab a mud battlestaff and a bunch of soul/body runes (really only viable training with souls) and get casting!

if you are lucky, you can find someone in castle wars wearing d hdie or ahrims while you wear cruddy mage bonus stoof and cast spells with requirements of souls/bodies. you get the exp from each cast with the added fact that if you dont hit with your spell (which is likely) you can repeatedly (if you know the person or etc) and get quick mage exp

Failed Curse training is the casting of the Curse spell while wearing any full metal armor.

 

 

 

The metal armor gives you a negative magic attack stat and

 

 

 

that causes you to "fail" when casting the Curse.

 

 

 

Even though you failed, you still get the full 29 magic exp for the cast

 

 

 

and you can recast again on the same monster.

 

 

 

(That's one of the reasons people do it)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you wear any full metal armor (Bronze works and well as Rune) of

 

 

 

full helm, chest plate, legs, kite shield, and SoS boots then you can get

 

 

 

your magic attacks stat to about -68 or so.

 

 

 

That's more than enough to always fail when casting the curse.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you want to use an Earth or Water elemental staff when casting

 

 

 

(to save on runes), then also wear some green dragonhide vambraces.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Popular places to cast from include:

 

 

 

the caged red monk under the Varrock palace stairs, the key room in

 

 

 

the Varrock sewers, caged lesser in the wizzy tower, Al-kharid scorps from the rim,

 

 

 

hobgoblins from the cow pen, Port Sarim jail prisoners, river ducks, etc.

 

 

 

There are lots of monsters that will work.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My fav place is to cast from the key room in the Varrock sewers across

 

 

 

the water into the 4 zombie ladder room.

 

 

 

It's a perfectly safe place to cast from and it's a multicombat zone so,

 

 

 

you will almost always have a target available.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For comparison, Fire Strike (Mind) costs about 30 gp to cast and gives about 19 exp per cast.

 

 

 

Curse (Body) costs about 30 gp and always gives 29 exp per cast.

 

 

 

Crumble Undead (Chaos) cost about 100 gp and gives about 39 exp per cast.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hope this helps

But it still gives the full 29 when you fail, correct?

Correct.

 

 

 

You will always get the full 29 exp.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you happen to cast with a staff equipped and have the staff set to Defense style,

 

 

 

then, IIRC, that 29 will be split between Magic and Defense.

 

 

 

So, if you want all of the 29 to go towards Magic, then don't have the staff set in Def style.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The only thing that changes if you do succeed in the cast is

 

 

 

that you can't cast a Curse again on that monster for awhile.

 

 

 

But you can make yourself always fail by wearing any old full armor set.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I always liked casting in the Varrock sewers since it's a multi-combat zone.

 

 

 

That way, you will almost always have a target available.

 

 

 

The key room is a nice place to cast from since it's completely safe, has

 

 

 

4 targets available, and has enough player traffic that you have people to talk with.

 

 

 

And, it's also a good place to cast Crumble Undead from (if you get enough chaos runes)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hope this helps

can curse be set to a staff so it constantly attacks?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

or do I just have to push curse every time?

you would have to click it everytime, that is one downside of it
