This video is a 1-99 OSRS F2P Magic Guide. It is part of my OSRS F2P skill guides video series. It's a quick and easy to follow guide to get you skilling and levelling effectively in OSRS F2P.
The guide is Ironman friendly, with specific Ironman hints, tips and advice. Those who can utilise the GE, will definitely have an easier and cheaper experience. This guide starts with a run through of any useful Quests, which in F2P, actually has a couple of useful quests.
My OSRS F2P Magic Guide continues with the Cows in Lumbridge from levels 10-17. It then moves on to the Barbarian Village, training on Barbarians from levels 17-35. From here we head into the Edgeville Dungeon to train on Hill Giants from levels 35-50. When you hit 50, we switch location to the Varrock Sewer and train on Moss Giants from levels 50-60. Here we head back to the Barbarian Village, this time descending to the 4th level of the Stronghold of Security to train on the Ankou, from levels 60-70. Players have a choice here, if they have the Imbued Skull Sceptre you can use Crumble Undead for a cost effect training method. Alternatively Fire Blast represents the fastest possible XP. At 70-99 players can continue at the Ankou or if they prefer to get better drops head over to Corsair Cove to farm the Ogresses.
1-99 F2P Magic Guide - OSRS F2P Skill Guide concludes with some extra content ideas that could help break up the skill grind. Things like completing Dragon Slayer 1, Fighting Obor and a couple more ideas.
This is one of my OSRS F2P Skill Guides, I’m currently working on an entire series to cover levelling/skilling all of the F2P skills.

Yo ReviewsOffaMeds! Thanks for the feedback bro! I know it’s a bit of an overload at first I’ll have to think about breaking it up and distributing it throughout the video instead of one big tech dump at the start 👍 Thanks again man and glad you found the video useful 👍👍👍
Very good guide, ty for resuming all of the info 👌
No problem man! Glad you liked the guide! 👍👍👍 Thank you for the comment and the feedback! 👌
the guids that you do are awesome and helpfull i did come back to osrs was and i'm just taking my time with the game
Yo Psyrica! That’s the best way if you hotbox yourself too much you will burn our for sure! 👍👍👍 Thanks for the feedback man it’s much appreciated 😁👍👍👍
@@TheLumbridgeKnight no problem man and keep up the good work if you want add me on runescape so we can play sometimes if you want 😁
Best OSRS f2p guides easily
Cheers ELMO! Glad you like the guides! Stay safe bro! 👍
Thanks I was looking for something like this. I already reached over lv30 in magic and was getting bored fighting Giant Frogs but didnt know where to look! Turns out it was in an area I had already been to just not that far down lol! Lv.55 HA here I come!
No problem qahnaarin8335! 😁 Glad the video was helpful 👍 Thanks for the awesome feedback and the comment 👌 good luck with the Magic training 🍀👍
This is the one I was looking for awesome dude!
I also went to lesser demons at like 10 mage lol and slowly killed them until i got the rune med helm. i am playing hardcore iron man so that was a huge win for my guy lolol
I never though of doing that! What are you using? A safe spot and Fire Strike? Soon as I found out about the Ogresses I was over there farming for a Rune Full Helm 😅
@@TheLumbridgeKnight Well now that I know about the ogresses the drop rate is much better! I literally used the base level air strike trying to kill them cause I was broke at first trying to figure out the money making methods of hcim. I eventually switched to fire strike and i leveled up to 40 mage fairly quickly doing that lol.
Yeah those girls have a really high defence 😅 I was 100% doing the same on my HCIM literally used any spell I had the runes for took ages to kill them 😂😂😂
Somehow I always loved osrs combat magicspells sound.
The entire soundtrack is brilliant to be fair! Though maybe I am massively nostalgic over it… 😅
I wanted to mention to everyone. The temple he mentioned earlier in the guide where you can acquire the zammy bottom. If you stand on the outside of the temple and cast mage or range inside through the door it is a safe spot. Hf
Yo T Stone! That’s a great tip man! I had no idea that worked 👌👌👌 Thanks for sharing that 👍👍👍
One last cheeky tip the wine of zammy can be tele grabbed from outside the door as well so you don't pull agro 🤫
Good tips and good video. Is superheat item a good source of magic exp to high alch? Or is killing moss giants more efficient.
Both are good methods to be honest and both can be used in tandem with other tasks, high alc being the better of the two. I think the answer is based on nature runes. So for ironmen nature runes are pretty hard to get, so I’d save them and just fight Moss giants. Also as high alch and super heat need items or ore, it depends if you have those things available. Again if you can just buy a tone of stuff to high alch, particularly since you can high alch noted items you can do this while say I don’t know teleporting to really boost your magic rate, or if your a member you can high alch while doing agility for a really good over all xp rate. Hopefully that helps answer your question. I need to remaster this guide as there are a few areas that I’ve missed out as I focused on almost purely combat magic 👍
I used to low alch the barronite mace parts when fishing that made me some good money, while grinding prayer for monk robes on my HCIM.
Yo Engin Ear! That’s a good tip man. I had no idea you got 3k for low alk and 5k for high on each of the parts 😅 I think I assumed since the finished mace was only 4k low 6k high the parts weren’t worth much! Not crazy money but if you are training on the golems it’s a nice bit of extra cash for a HCIM! Cheers man!
Well for f2p iron you can use extra nature runes, gotten from ogress to train smithing,mining and magic at iron rocks in fally mines with super heat spell. Makes you need less rings of forging to train smithing. you can alc the iron plate you make if you want but i would just drop em. Magic is a 0 time skill so i rather not use runes to kill ogress and range them cause ranging them is cheaper. TLDR: i wont go all out to train magic at higher levels(after 55) you will passively get magic from training other skills.
Yo Eclipse Arrow! Thanks for the comment man! Your Nat rune pointers are spot on and I totally agree aiming to straight up train magic to 99 is an expensive (and difficult) task. Super heat item combined with making iron is a nice trick to generate magic xp and save some rings of forging. I’d definitely recommend high alc’ing iron plate bodies or selling them in Varrock as this is a profitable money maker for ironmen👌 thanks again for the feedback and suggestions brother! 👍👍👍
sure, training defence with melee is great although I kinda agree with Autumn Elegy who said in one of his f2p videos of Terrathrone that training magic on the Defensive attack style is worth over offensive and doesnt even compare to ranged defensive attack style as its attack rate is still the same vs range is obviously much slower. Unless you're 99 def, the defensive attack style = more total xp/hr was pretty much my conclusion. Tho i love the vids and gave this video a like :)
Yo Nate! Thanks for the comment bro! Yeah that's a fair point, you will gain .33 more total xp per point of magic damage dealt using defensive casting versus normal casting. Standard Casting XP = Magic = Spell XP + (2 * damage), HP = (1.33 * damage) whereas Defensive Casting XP = Magic = Spell XP + (1.33 * damage), HP = (1.33 * damage), Def = (1 * damage). If my calculations are correct... 👍👍👍 Sorry maths attack there 😅😅😅 Definitely something to consider if you are going after total XP as a tactic. Thanks again for the tip and the comment man! 👌👌👌
Hopped back on oldschool Runescape multiple times of the years for nostalgia and did again last week but this time I'm a lot more invested for some reason together with friends lmao
Yo MuscledRMH! Good to have you back man! It definitely helps to have a few friends to play with! My only issue is most of the guys who still play are d end game while I’m still stuck in members mid game 😅 Thanks for the comment 👍😁
Thankyou!!!!
No worries Rhys! Thanks for the comment brother! 😁😁😁
lvling off of zombies in varrok sewers is good too you can literally stand there and auto cast them and there's a little creek that separates them from you so you dont even need food.
Cheers for the comment BossHoss429! Thats actually a great shout and a good alternative to the giant frogs! It’s such a good safe spot! Thanks again for sharing that tip 😁👍👍👍
Hi there, there is one method which is very click intensive but is over 100k mage exp/hr and that is curse splash/high alching. i do this on the zammy mage in varrock castle. i even do this on members for pures as i believe it is faster exp the cammy tele/high alching as there is no animation delay which you get from the cammy tele spell. :)
Thanks for the tips Afrx Samurai! So basically, if you use curse and then do a high alch straight after it cancels the curse animation so you can cast the two spells faster? Is that correct?
@@TheLumbridgeKnight hi, yes basically and just repeat so you 29xp for curse and 65 xp for high alch...it's the same as stun/alching which is the p2p method.
also the west bank. u can also do this emote thing. u need 28 items. and do like 20 emotes. no joke. then u can waltz in there and grab whatever u need. do note to get out u need to emote again. or home teleport. but u get a VERY cool f2p armour that looks like virtus robes.
Yeah someone else told me you can do this but I’ve not tried it out yet! I need to give it a go!
just watched a video from a guy making "the best pk character in 3 days" and it got me into the game, downloaded it today and the game seems fun. The guy seemed to be playing a mage thats why I am here ^^ wonder if getting the highest magic will help me to pk? anyway, the more I train the better right? like training melee wont make me a worse mage? thank you
Yoo Z, welcome to OSRS! Yeah so the higher your magic the better in general as it will unlock more powerful spells so you can deal more damage. A word of caution if you're just making a pk account, training the other combat skills will increase your overall combat level, this will affect which level of the wilderness you can attack other players in. Back in the day we used to make 'pure' accounts as these accounts basically only trained 1 main combat stat (usually Magic, Ranged or Strength). The idea was basically to get an account with the highest possible max hit and lowest possible combat level. If you're just making an all round account, or you want to Pk in castle wars and go into members/endgame an all round account will be less restrictive and better in the long term. 😅 Unfortunately I'm no expert on Pk'ing... but something to think about... Hope that helps and good luck in the game hope you are enjoying it! 👍👍👍
@@TheLumbridgeKnight that was a very long reply! thank you very much I finally understood what a pure was haha
At 11:10 it's better to just go to the chaos temple since the monks can't walk outside and that way you don't have to telegrab. This is also better for irons who want to save all the law runes that they can early on. With the basic fire spell you can also kill the monk pretty quickly and it's only a 1/20 drop for the robe bottoms.
Ahh that’s a great tip aurah8245! I’m in the process of updating this guide so I’ll definitely add this in! Thanks! 😁👍👍
also now runecraft now can be decent. once u get some levels in magic u could kill body golems and mind golems in camdozaal. getting a full inventory of body runes grants 2000xp in runecraft. and about 300 runes. my alt atm is doing this to level up his combat and runecraft kinda passively. while my main is doing other stuff.
Yeah to be honest I think the golems is one of the only ways I’d actually train runecrafting in F2P, just collecting drops as I level combat is simple. The faster Runecrafting methods are quite expensive and intense.
hello. i noticed something that kind of takes apart the advantages of the Ankou method... The exp rate for a casted spell is capped at 25. The additional damage bonus exp is not there. Am i mistaken? Thanks for the guide :))
i apologise. i tried doing this method on shades and zombie in lvl 4 of stronghold. only they have capped exp.. did not know
That’s good to know in any case! I had no idea that the xp was capped! 😁 glad you liked the guide and good luck 🍀 with your training 😁👍👍
@@TheLumbridgeKnight i found perhaps a better way to train mage in f2p once you have high lvl mage and defense... its really good beacuse it is afk for 10 minutes. iam talking about having full rune armor, using fire bolt at asgarnian ice dungeon. i can afk for at least 40-60 minutes (with resetting agression - 10min) with one pack of swordfish and get around 36k exp per hour. my defense is 83 and mage 90. :)
Ahh some good old splashing? I need to include that in my videos going forward for sure! 👍 Thanks for the tip 👌
@@TheLumbridgeKnight no this is not splashing.. your actually killing the ice warriors, who attack you... its just because your defense is so high, in 10 minutes, they only kill you for 3/4 of your hp.. your welcome :))
Should've mentioned superheat & splashing in the extra section. Superheat is more for ironmen and splashing is for anyone who doesn't mind playing the long game with their xp. for ogresses, magic level is almost irrelevant as there's a safe spot and unlike other styles your max is dependant on the element, the magic bonus only determines the chance u wont splash, so its just a matter of how much time/gp you'd want to invest. You could go there with mind spells and be ok it'd just be longer kill times. Also iirc chaos spells are the way to go in f2p for best cost-damage. Keep in mind you can cast spells and alch without losing ticks if done properly. I commend you for wanting to make guides for a game packed with guides but I'd suggest to dig a little deeper into the methods, as theyve progressed over the years.
Hello Molecule! Thanks for the comment and feedback man! Yeah magic definitely has a lot more complexity than at first glance, even in F2P. In my defence, I tried to make this particular guide quite general, like a bit of an all rounder. Primarily looking at the fastest xp gains with some alts/variations on cost and ironman tips. It was 100% probably the most difficult guide to nail down so far in terms of the overall strategy and direction. Every time I decided what the next step was, there would be 2-3 alternatives each with their own merits... 🤷♂️😅 In the end I just went with the idea of the most efficient xp for reasonable cost as I didn't want the video to be too long. So like with the Ogresses I recommend them at such a high level as you will splash less, so gain more experience per cast, less casting, less cost... 🤔 I see your points though, and I feel much the same, the second I posted the video I felt like to truly cover Magic in full I'd need possible another 1-2 videos covering Low Cost Magic Training and AFK Magic Training. I dunno still thinking about it... What do you recon? Anyway thanks again bro 👍👍👍 Stay Safe!
You can splash with combat spells, not just curse. So you can autocast them, least click intensive method ever lol. There is an area around lumbridge/Varrock where you don't get xp though. I splash on the lesser demon in wizards tower which works well
Yeah this guide is top of my revision list 🤦🏻♂️😅 big mistake on the splashing part
i mean besides magic the best u can use x for is range. cuz range is annoying to get started early on. and in f2p range can be quite decent for damage. its super cheap. with mithril arrows on the grand going for 2gp each. making em cheaper than bronze :D only bad thing with range in f2p is u cant auto pickup arrows. but once u get to like 50-60 range i think u can out damage magic cheaper at stuff like bryophyta boss.
Yeah I have been wondering what is the best skill to use the lamp from x on… guess it’s such a low amount of XP it doesn’t really matter all that much… aww god yeah collecting arrows sucks hard! Thanks again for all the comments dude 😁🤘😎
Do you have a version of this video for members? I bought I bond and I'm hoping to speed up the process (I'm level 65 magic, though)!
Yo 1joaootavio! I plan to make a guide in the future for members definitely! But I imagine it will be months before I get a video out for P2P 🤔 I think one of the best methods in terms of pure speed is to head to the Arceuus Library on Kourend and repeatedly do the book fetch quests in the library. If you have RuneLite you can eventually find where the books are pretty consistently, it’s dull but very fast xp! You can also afk using splashing too. A lot of people seem to recommend training magic in tandem with other skills, so high alching or enchanting while you skill something else. Hopefully that gives you a few starting points check out the OSRS Wiki page for a guide with a load of different strategies! 👍
Holy shit, great William Shatner impression!
Dilithium crystals hit by Klingon missiles… damn that’s weird Al…
xD thx for the guide btw, very helpful ❤
btw you can just safespot the monks of zamorak at the altar by standing 2 tiles outside of the building. They"ll just get stuck at the exit.
Ahh that's cool! Thanks for the tip! 👌😀👍
The major reason I never became a mage is due to having ruin stones and the cost to get those. This was way back in 2006. Maybe something changed since then. We didn't have the magic trainer outside of the starting point to give us stones to get us started.
Yeah unfortunately runecrafting in F2P, while possible, is incredibly slow… I always recommend just making money and buying the runes from the GE. Even ironmen buying from a vendor is probably better than runecrafting 😅😅😅
Thoughts on training with the lesser demon kn magic tower? Its 100% safe ao its rather afk-ish
Yeah you can definitely use that lesser demon. My advice would be make sure you can use telekinetic grab incase it drops a rune med. Traditionally the area is pretty popular so might be hard to find an empty spot, which is the only reason I didn’t recommend it. Although these days it might not be as crowded. But by all means it’s a decent enough spot to train for sure! 👍 Thanks for the comment man 😁👍
@@TheLumbridgeKnightahh yeah that makes sense, I am also going to assume you didn't put HA down due to this guide is also useful for iron man too. Otherwise you can literally HA from 55->99, boring but "fast" and you actually earn money from it haha I started playing 5days ago and I am at level 70 magic and around 3M gold because of it. 😅
Yeah definitely HA is a great spell but law runes are pretty hard to get consistently for F2P irons so I didn’t really look at it too much. It’s a great spell though! 👌 70 magic after 3 days is good going man 👍 congratulations 🎉 and 3 mil is a good haul of coins too!! 👍👍
If you can afford it should you use Byrophyta’s Staff instead for the additional stats?
Yo bubsadoozy! Yeah definitely use it if you can afford it and if you want the BIS items and highest magic accuracy and defence 👍 I only didn’t put it in the video because I was using my HCIM and he hasn’t had the drop for that yet 😢👍 Sometimes if you want to save runes you might want to stick with a standard staff if you are just doing low level training. Like save byrophytas staff for the high level enemies like the ogresses and bosses. Unless you can easily afford the runes in which case just use it all the time 😂
if you want to make profit while skilling, use high level alchemy on rune items when you atleast reach level 55
Haha nice name Sedridor! Agreed! High Alch is definitely a great money maker to use along side farming rune items! 👍👍👍
How many death runes and air runes for lvl 60-70 with the ankou?
Hello alicebogosian! 0! Use crumble undead! Much cheaper and against the Ankou has a similar/the same max hit! Hare to estimate exactly has it will depend how many times you hit/miss, but i reckon you will need about 15k Chaos Runes, Air staff and 30k earth runes... Hopefully that helps!
I use fire staff and the fire spell on scorpions and i take higher grounds this makes it 100x easier to beat and get more xp
Love the name 👌😂 ahh yeah that is a good safe spot for sure! Pretty much no magic defence and 17hp 🤔 pretty close to giant frogs 🐸 could be a good alternative if they are too crowded and you don’t want to bury the bones for prayer Xp! 👍 Thank you for sharing your method 😁😁
@@TheLumbridgeKnight thanks bro and im new to this game your videos help me
I feel like I'm a little scared to safe spot. Maybe I'll try Hill giants, I've only farmed them using melee so far
Ahh don’t be Grog! I think the hardest safe spot in F2P is probably Elvarg for dragon slayer or the Count for vampire slayer (if you are low level). Elvargs only a pain because you have to flinch her. Outside of that they are all pretty safe just keep an eye on your character and you’ll be fine 😅 it’s dangerous to forget to check when you’re doing it 🤣 I’ve nearly lost my HCIM a few times doing that…
i got 99 range in 2.5months now im on my 99 magic! all f2p... :)
Congratulations 🎉 that is some hardcore F2P work! Good luck 🤞 on the Magic front I hope the video gives you done good ideas and results 😁😁👍👍
Is it worth starting mosses earlier or not
As your safe spotting you can definitely give it a go! They have pretty low magic defenses, if you’re loooking for an in between hill giants might be a good intermediate option. You can get giant keys off them for Obor and there’s a good spot in Al’kharid most people (including me) always forget about 👍
Safe spotting lesser demons at Karamja using fire strike is very cheap and sort of afk, a good ironman method.
Yeah that's a great option! I only didn't recommend this due to the distance from a bank, but you can stock up and if you are safe spotting minimise bank trips! 👍👍👍
Any tips to quickly get money as an ironman? Because getting runes is a headache for me right now
Yo Rubiktor012 welcome to the path of iron brother! If you’re not playing hardcore you can make some easy money doing steel leg runs in the wilderness. Head to the Ruins (east) in the wildy grab the steel legs then switch worlds. Once you got enough sell them to Horvik the armour in Varrock (you can world hop again here to make sure you get a good price). Make sure you do the Stronghold of Security if you haven’t already as that’s an easy 10k. If you’re playing hardcore then it’s a longer road but I’d start by levelling crafting and you can make some decent money selling gold jewellery to the jewellery shop in port sarim. Save your ruby rings as you can use them for rings of forging and smith Iron Plate Bodies which you can then sell to Horvik or use high level alchemy on again for a good overall profit 👍👍👍 hope that helps bro! I have a money making guide on the channel feel free to check it out just note that it misses the ruby ring step so it needs updating 👍
@@TheLumbridgeKnight Thanks, I'll make sure to try the platelegs method!
Im new where do i get that gear robe hat staf and othrr stuf becouse i dont understand
And the amulet of magig it cant be made by f2p becouse u need lecter
Hello Cerbu! If you are not playing as an Ironman account the best thing to do is buy the items from the GE (it’s in Varrock). To do this you will need money. To get 10k coins I recommend doing the Stronghold of Security, I haven’t done a video on how to do that yet but there’s plenty on KZhead that can guide you. Hope that answers you question man 👍👍👍
Can also 0 time magic through methods like alching, super heating.
Hello paulvictor7489! Thanks you for your comment man! 😁👍 That’s a great point and definitely something I need to include or cover going forward 👍👍👍
What about high alching vs the ankou?
Hi Austintatious, Do you just mean taking some noted items and High Alching as you Safe Spot ankou?
@@TheLumbridgeKnight Can you lvl faster just by high alching?
Ahh yeah I think it is, however I tried to stick to Ironman friendly methods here and nature runes are a pain for ironmen in F2P. That said I definitely missed the target by not including splashing so I’m planning to revisit this guide and remake it in the not too distant future!
But if ur wondering about cost remember your only buying health just splash... Using chaos anyway might as well take out health
Yo daybreaklongman1236! Do you mean cut out the health levels by using splash casting so you only train pure magic? And what levels would you splash between? And what spells would you recommend?
@@TheLumbridgeKnight yah I'd just cut out health for range ur gna have to in f2p anyway.. splashing is easy to afl just gta check things out and I'm not gna lie ill prolly splash till member prolly a harder feat for irons and such but I'd splash the chaos spells grind up some money and dump it onto a couple hrs worth of splash at a time
Ahh cool cheers for this! 😁👍 Yeah I need to work on a none iron magic video and cover splashing properly like you’re saying! Thanks for the comments man 😁👍👍👍
Are u going to make member guides
Yeah in a perfect world I’d love to get a full set of quest guides, skill guides and hint & tips for both F2P and P2P. 😅 not much of F2P left atm so I’ll be moving to full time members sometime this year I recon 🤔
I'm killing golems after u do that below ice mountain quest.
Yo Tim Bonnell! Not a bad option at all looking at their stats... 60 Hp, 1 Magic, 2 Magic Defence 🤔🤔🤔 Decent option considering how close the bank is too. Very similar to Moss Giants. Down side I guess is a few more clicks and harder to safe spot, but definitely worth considering too! Cheers for the tip bro! 👍👍👍
Can i just do fire strike just for low cost?
Yeah of course! Always play your way! Just know that you will probably get a lower XP rate and once you move on to tougher enemies you might end up casting a lot of spells so it might be more cost effective to use higher level spells. This is because although all spells have basically the same accuracy, magic max damage depends on the spell so fire strike has a max hit of 8 versus fire blasts 16 (this is also why you might get a lower XP rate as you get extra XP for each point of damage dealt) Hopefully that helps answer your question 😅👍 Thanks for the comment!
@@TheLumbridgeKnight Thanks mate.
Im gonna ask again, it is do Even worth to do tele-falador spam? Or Tele-grab for low cost?
I’ve never done it personally? But if you combine it was say High Alchemy as a money making method you can get some really good Xp rates 🤔👍
"runecrafting is tedious" *glances at the other half of my screen where I'm runecrafting aprox 20k air runes cuz I'm broke* .... yeah...
Ahh I feel your pain klingon401! I only did my HCIM to lvl 40 in F2P and even that felt tedious 😬😬😬
I know it's dumb but could you do a 1-99 ftp runecraft guide?
Yeah I’m definitely planning to get the rest of the F2P guides done ASAP working on Crafting ATM but can look to do Runecrafting after that. Though I’ll be honest, there’s not a lot you can do to speed that one up in F2P it’s an absolutely brutal grind… 😅😓
I don't understand why you don't recommend defensive casting for free defense xp
Hello Eno Yaka, you can absolutely use defensive casting to train magic and defence at the same time. However, as I try to explain in the video, it’s not free. You get less magic experience per spell. So you will level up your magic slower. Overall though you gain slightly more total xp. But if you train defence using defensive melee you will get a lot more defence exp a lot quicker and it saves you the cost of runes. Really depends how you want to play it and what limits/targets you put on your account. For the guide I recommend the most cost effective and quickest way to train just your magic level. Hope that makes sense man 👍 Thanks for the comment 👍👍👌
you can also do enchanting its pretty cheap
Yo Poi mon, yeah that's a good point. I focused on ironman compatible methods, but if you have plenty of money and can access the GE you could simply buy amulets to enchant and that would be really fast! Think I skipped it mainly because Cosmic Runes are a real pain for Ironmen to get too! Great tip thought! Thanks for the comment! 👍👍👍
87 magic is all I need F2P teleblock😊
Haha nice one! that is a beast of a spell TBF!
No lesser demon at wizard tower?
A fair shout, I tend to avoid that spot just because it can be quite busy. It’s definitely a good one if there’s no one else around 🤔 I don’t know maybe it’s quiet these days… Worth checking out as you can use world hopping to get a good rate and it’s relatively close to a bank!
The ones in Karamja are always a better bet.. and you can pick up the ashes and drops.
@@kawakawatree6495 You can pick up wizards tower's drops with telekinetic grab.
Is ankou staff f2p? How do i get this???
Yo Emmanuel! Yeah its F2P, if you mean the Skull Sceptre. You get each of the pieces from each floor in the Stronghold of Security. I think you need to kill Minatours, Flesh Crawlers, Catablepon and Ankou, each drop a piece and once you have all 4 you can combine them to make the sceptre. Then if you go to the end of floor 4 you can get the ghost to imbue it so it wont break when all the charges are used. Then you charge the staff by using sceptre parts on it. Useful teleport in my experience. Check out the OSRS Wiki Guide page: oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Skull_sceptre 👍👍👍
uhh you can splash your way with air strike all the way to 99 with a 4million gp cost. instead of this videos method which costs nearly 100mil gp
Yeah, this has been pointed out to me and is on my revision list! Definitely needs updating as its a big mistake on my part.
I afk’d my way to mage 80 and really don’t know the true potential of being a good mage
Yeah I need to revisit AFK magic as it’s a much better technique than I gave it credit for… I think the main F2P magic benefit is the teleports and High Alchemy. Outside of that it’s a bit limited. P2P at 80 would give you a lot more equipment and useful spells. 🤔🤔
:D
Just getting back into timescale lol anyone help me out in grinding rats in the sewer
Hello Mitch Conner! Timescale 🤣 certainly does absorb a hell of a lot of time ORSR… Cheers for the comment dude, gd luck 🍀 with the rats 🐀 👍😅
Realitty ---> 99 with alchemy
Yeah I need to get my guide updated! Made a few mistakes in this one! Got the script and layout done, just need to do the final edits!
How do u guys get so much money to afford this in f2p?
Hello ConsoleReaper! I love F2P and there are a lot of players who do stick to F2P only but I personally prefer to move over to members when an account achieves base 40 and has finished all the quests 🤷🏻♂️ In the meantime a money making video for general F2P is definitely pencilled in for the near future 👍 currently busy with the final skill guide on Mining and smithing… 😅
@@TheLumbridgeKnight i agree, normally i do the same but after a 14 year break i thought there was some major change. Good luck with your upcoming videos, i will continue to tune in as i create project accounts. Great work from the videos I've watched so far 👍🏻
i just wanna get to high alcing lol
That's pretty much all you need in F2P to be fair! 👍
when i was younger, i burnt 135k willows twice for 99 fm lol
Yo Shaun! That is an impressive number of logs burnt man! 😂 I long for the days when I could spend that kinda time gaming and not be worried about the time 😢 growing up sucks! 😂😂😂
You know how much gp this is
Do you mean for all the runes? Oh a hell of a lot! It’s pretty brutal when you get to end game F2P…
Not high alchemy?
Yo Milan Van Welden! Yeah I think that’s a really good idea 🤔 I think the only reason I didn’t include it, is just because nature runes are hard to get for ironmen as you can pretty much only get them from drops or the spawn in the wildy. That and I don’t like casting High Alch on just anything 😂 I’d say, if I didn’t mention it in the guide then I wish I had added it as a supplementary method for the drops from the Ogresses and the moss giants. If you took runes for high alchemy there, you could stay down there and farm for a very long time 👍👍👍
@@TheLumbridgeKnight indeed, I forgot the Ironmens
Not accurate guide, you can gain 130k + by tele alching and staying positive in money ( depending on the item)
Hello lion! Thank you for the comment and the feedback on the video. The method you mentioned sounds like a really good option and I’ll certainly look at adding it when I update the guide. 👍 In my defence (and I probably didn’t make it clear enough) I was looking 👀 a bit more at ironman suitable methods, so I focused on combat spells as irons can buy the runes easily. Law and Nats are pretty hard to come by for F2P irons so they would struggle to use the max method you recommended 😁👍 I will look to put it in going forward though 👍
@@TheLumbridgeKnight Yes it's okay, mistakes happen 👍. I came out little too aggressive, sorry about that.
Nothing to apologise for Charles 😁 More than happy to get critique from people who know what they are doing or who have different methods 👍 all good man and thank you for leaving comments 👍👌
@@TheLumbridgeKnight Yessir, my name is not Charles, Charles is an MMA fighter that i am a "fan" of.
Splashing is in no way "click intensive" as you mentioned. I hope by now you've realized your error but let me explain if not. You should reduce your magic accuracy to -65 as you explained. However, you can autocast any attack spell to receive xp and your attack will splash every time. Using Runelite, you can extend your combat logout to 25 minutes giving you 25 minutes of splash xp until you have to click ANYWHERE ON SCREEN to avoid logging out. This is an immense oversight on your part, maybe you didn't want viewers to know this mechanic to retain some relevancy to the other methods you listed. I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say this, we appreciate your tips. However, you dropped the ball on this one man...
Yo tristanchin-loy832! Thanks for your comment dude! 😁 It is a big oversight on my part, I assumed that there was a patch to prevent this or limit the standard method, so the only way to splash properly now was to use the none combat spells? I definitely remember reading somewhere that they tried to patch it out, though that may only apply in the Lumbridge area. If you can splash as standard then yeah this is a HUGE AFK bonus method and something I’ll have to correct when I update this guide or release a separate guide to retcon this! I think my thinking was mainly that as an Ironman you’ll probably want to maximise your XP rate and rune use-age. But if you have plenty of money splashing would definitely be the way to level in the background! 👍👍👍 Thanks again and leave it with me I’ll try to get a correction or something out in the near future 😁 Also more than happy to get some solid feedback where I miss something, so this is a really top comment IMO 😁👍 Also why do you get more time on the RuneLite client is it just a quirk of the client or something?
The point of the guide is to look at combat spells and methods to help players, mainly looking at ironmen. It definitely needs a bit of work on the splashing side, but for ironmen splashing is probably only cost effective at low level anyway. Not really a helpful comment dude, as you haven’t shared any of your tips or how the guide could be improved…
F2p magic really disappoints. I mean, it has potential, but... well, let's put it this way... Why is the best in slot gear a mix 'n match set of wizard robes and zamorak robes? Seriously... it makes it look like gear for the class was an afterthought for the developer, and it does a very poor job conveying that it is even a serious class in the game. I mean, yea, ranged purest mix and match too, but at least they do have a complete set of D hide for when defense is trained. And that brings me to my second point. Why does magic get to be the odd one out and get no armor set for when they do have defense Trained? Mages who are tanks basically just swap for a helmet and shield as it's the most armor they can get for the least penalties. This further makes them look like a class that the devs forgot because they have no dedicated "high defense" armor. Then, to top it all off, they stop their damage progression at level 59...leading to them being outclassed in damage easily at later levels. But wait, there's more... not only does everyone else out damage them later in level, but even low levels can have magic defense, because magic defense is controlled by magic level, not defense, and yoy can train that on any character without penalty to your combat level... If I were one of the devs, I would do the following: Give blue and black skirts a +2 magic att bonus, including the trimmed variants. Add a hood for the Zamorak monk robe set with a +2 magic att and +1 prayer. Make the unholy symbol f2p Make splitbark f2p, or make a new set of armor entirely to fill in the niche of having some weaker melee defense with either no magic penalties or smaller magic bonuses. The robes should be what gives the best magic attack, the armor should give protection at the cost of some magic attack, but not look like some makeshift nonsense like just throwing on a rune helmet and shield... I would also probably either grant f2p access to prayer potions, or a weaker version of them. It doesn't do prayer justice to have the free demo of it make it look like it's just a bonus that lasts maybe 2 minutes tops.
Yo ChrisR2020! Thanks for the detailed comment brother! 👍👍👍 I totally agree! Firstly, from an OCD perspective looking like a tramp with none matching/random coloured equipment really annoys me! 😅😂 They could at least let you dye the zammy monk robes to match... On a random note I'd like to see some more dye colours too... I think Splitbark armour or a variant of it would fit perfectly into F2P and lets be honest, there isn't a single person rocking P2P with Splitbark. Its basically a dead item set atm. I do need to go back and remaster this guide to include splashing though... Major oversight on my part... Anyway thanks again! Maybe one day we will get our wish! I hope Jagex look to do some work on F2P overall in the not too distant future.
@TheLumbridgeKnight I don't know if I would agree on dying zamorak robes, cause then they wouldn't really be zamorak robes anymore, but I would like to see blue and black robes be able to be dyed. Only catch is they might interfere a bit since we already have a bunch of other color robes in other varieties. That, and no other "armor" set has that kind of freedom to be modified in appearance, so I doubt they would do it. Though, I have wanted to see castle wars armor updated to try and rejuvenate it and bring people back to playing it. It would be nice to see the castle wars armors include a set that is on par with rune, as well as a set of robes, and ranged armor. Presumably also a set of the defense based mage armor. The design of the armor they have now though is, not great. It's just a recoloring of the normal armor. I'd instead like to see it be a remodeling of the armor, much the way the swords have different models from standard, even though they are just a recoloring of the blurite sword. More decorative weapons from it would be nice too. Castle wars was basically killed by adding more trimmed sets to the game, which were favored over the castle wars armor. But if castle wars armor and weapons had different, more detailed models, then I think they would be liked more. I suspect some of those details could be made to be dyed to give variety to its appearance. That might make for a good way to introduce dyeable armors, and maybe weapons, too. Heck, even just adding more variety to rune weapons in the form of more decorative weapons from castle wars would likely be enough to draw more people into playing it. But a decorative fire staff or decorative robes, especially that could be dyed whatever color you wanted, that would be awesome.
Yeah that’s something else I’ve harped on about 😅 castle wars… maybe I should do a video about it. 🤔 A guide and maybe a how to improve it… I think like you say the rewards are a key factor and given the current players I don’t think they are very well sought after. They equally don’t look great either. I’d love to see some better rewards. And maybe some yearly tournaments plus maybe a few new maps to mix the gameplay up a bit. On the subject of armour the Ironman armour being locked at iron really annoys me. I love the look of it and it would be nice to actually wear it. I think you should be able to combine it or pay to upgrade it to a trimmed version so you can wear it and make it useful. What’s the point in making cool looking armour at iron level so it’s obsolete after about 5 minutes…
@TheLumbridgeKnight I also don't think it helps that the castle wars gear takes such a ludicrous amount of time to get. 500 tickets for basically an Addy long sword that looks fancy... at an average of 2 tickets per 20 minutes. It's not great. Sure, you get to keep a broken version of it that you can repair if you die, but... I think it would be better if it was just dropped on death as a regular Addy long, and you had to farm for a replacement, but they had a much lower cost. That way, all the rewards are consumables. Just feels self defeating to take like 80 hours to get a piece of equipment from it and then never need to do it again.
Yep! The rewards from castle wars are really not worthwhile imo... 😅 I'd love to see them do something with this content to refresh it and bring players back...
