There are many different ways of getting mage exp as well as sometimes making some extra cash so I'm going to share them with you guys, just let me know what you think. By the way, this guide is members only although there are certainly ways to apply some of the lower level methods to non-members. Give me any constructive feedback you'd like!

Method 1- Fire Strike
Reqs: 13 mage



All right, so this is a method for the mostly low level mages. I even still use this sometimes if I’m low on cash. Get a few thousand fire strikes and head over to tzaar. Attack the lvl 149's and the 133 melee guys while hiding behind the vents. For every few thousand strikes you use, you usually get at least one drop. Use the money from the drops to buy more. I used this way on my mage pure from 13-70 mage, and made about 3 mil profit from the drops after selling them.

Method 2- Curse
Reqs: 19 mage



Once again, this is a method for the lower level and low-on-cash people. I would recommend going to tzaar once again. Put on some armor that lowers your mage bonus as much as possible. Then, cast curse on the monsters being attacked. You get the same amount of exp if it hits or not, so with the low mage bonus, you can sometimes cast many times before having to attack another monster. If you are just low mage but have lots of cash, I would recommend using a mud staff to save on the water and earth runes.

Method 4- Ice Burst TZAAR
Reqs: 70 mage



Vid of sum1 using this method:

This is my personal Favorite but requires some cash to start with. Go to tzaar with a few thousand ice burst strikes and some low level arrows or knives. Go somewhere with few people and shoot a low level arrow (or knife) at the monsters around you till you have around 4 or 5 surrounding you. If need to you can use melee protect so you don’t get hit. Now, switch to a staff if you want, and cast ice burst on the middle monster so that all of them get hit. Not only do you get massive exp, but from my experience, the runes usually pay for themselves as well as a bit of a profit.

Method 5- Ice Burst PC
Reqs: 70 mage



This one is fairly self-explanatory, but requires quite a bit of cash. Just go to PC and cast ice burst on large groups of monsters. You get that exp plus some cash to help buy some more casts and the points to buy mage exp with. However, unless you are 100+, using melee in PC then using the points on mage is not practical anymore, since the mage exp given from the points was lowered in the update. However, it is up to you.

Method 6- Ice burst POH
Reqs: 70 mage and friends



This is a well-known way but requires some friends. It is the same concept as the barricades in c wars but it requires a few friends. Go to either your house or someone else’s house with a fighting ring and have them stand in a square. Cast on the middle person. The great thing about this is you don’t have to worry about running out of time in c wars, u just cast away until you run out of runes. This is also very expensive however, but if you got the cash, why not?

Method 7- High Alching
Reqs: 55 mage



This is probably the most widely used way of training mage in rs2. Usually people use yew longs to high alch, but I’m sure there are other things that you could alch that wouldn't waste your alchs. If you made all of the supplies for the bows you could also turn a nice profit if you wanted. If you buy all the supplies, this way can also be rather expensive, but not quite as expensive as the other ways. A good way to pass the time while alching is to farm high level farming patches while you alch so you in effect kill 2 birds with 1 stone. If you’re too lazy to actually click, there are many auto alchers out there available to use.


Method 8- Teleporting
Reqs: 25 mage.



So this one is fairly self-explanatory as well. You just teleport over and over for exp. There are many auto clickers for this, and many find this the easiest way to go. However, this can be either very expensive or very time consuming if you run your own laws. I would recommend using an air staff and teleporting cammy.

This one is easy. Do quests that give you mage exp. Here is a list of quests you can do:
A Fairytale pt. 1- Growing Pains ~1k mage exp~
A Fairytale pt. 2- Cure a queen ~2.5k exp if you use lamp on magic~
A Tail of Two Cats ~up to 5k exp if you use both lamps on mage~
Contact! ~up to 14k exp if wishes used on mage~
Darkness of Hallowvale ~up to 6k exp if used on mage~
Desert Treasure ~20k exp~
Dream Mentor ~10k exp +15k more exp if used on mage~
Enakhras Lament ~7k exp~
Horror from the Deep ~4.662k exp~
Kings Randsom ~5k exp +5k more if used on mage~
Lunar Diplomacy ~5k exp~
One Small Favor ~up to 20k exp if used on mage~
Recipe for Disaster ~2.5k exp (lumbridge guide)~
Shadow of the Storm ~10k exp if used on mage~
Spirits of the Elid ~1k exp~
Swan Song ~15k exp~
The Eyes of Glouphrie ~12k exp~
The Fremmenik Isles ~up to 20k exp if used on mage~
The Giant Dwarf ~1.5k exp~
The Grand Tree ~2.15k exp~
Watch Tower ~15.25k exp~

Although some of these are more worthwhile than others, if you are a pure mage, all the exp you can get is an advantage.
