Get 99 Magic in Runescape

Magic is one of the most versatile skills in Runescape. You can use it for combat, skilling, getting around the map faster, and even making very good money. This makes it a very optimal skill to train to 99. You can either do this through combat, non-combat, or a mixture of both.

Steps

Combat

  1. Train on goblins starting out. From levels 1-20 you are going to want to train on goblins, preferably in Lumbridge because they can drop some decent items. You are going to want to use your best air spell on them, so buying an air staff is recommended. Armor and food are not really needed for this step as goblins do not really hit very often.
  2. Go to Player Security dungeon just west of Edgeville. Take an earth battlestaff, as the cockroaches are weak to earth spells. You can kill the Cockroach Drones or Cockroach Workers. for their drops, as they drop gems often and rune items, you can quite easily make some money here. Kill these until around level 35
  3. Go to the Asgarnian Ice Dungeon and kill Ice Warriors. Buy yourself an Air or Fire battle staff, and lots of either fire or air runes respectively. Food is a must for lower levels, wearing mystic robes is also recommended. Cast Fire Bolt on the Ice Warriors. These warriors also can drop some pretty decent items, including medium clue scrolls. Kills these until around level 41, or farther if you are enjoying the drops.
  4. Go to Yanille. Look around for a lot of Ogres. Bring an air battle staff and a little bit of food and cast the best air spell available to you. These drop big bones which can be buried for Prayer experience, along with lots of herb seeds. On level 61 you can switch over to the water spell for a little extra damage. Train on these until about level 65.
  5. Kill Exiled Kalphite guardians. These can be found in Kalphite King's lair, and will auto-aggro towards you. These drops two herbs at a time, as well as a high rate of blue charms. They drop elite and hard clues as well. Train on these until 70.
  6. Use blood barrage spells. If you can find a large amount of enemies in a square of 3x3, then you can very easily AFK with protection prayers on and autocasting blood barrage to regain health. Some places to use are the Bandits west of Bandit camp (providing you have a zamorak item), the mummies in chaos temples, the zombie monkeys in the Ape Atoll caves, and for the best exp you could go to the Abyss and kill the monsters there.
    • You could also cast Earth Waves on the monkey guards in Ape Atoll. You can protect from melee from the monkeys, and then recharge your prayer at the altar nearby. If you have soulsplit, you could theoretically stay there for quite a while to kill them.
    • If you've completed Ritual of the Mahjarrat, you can kill glacors with Fire waves for about 175k experience per hour. Do this until level 81.
  7. Kill infested axes in the Polypore Dungeon. These are level 86, are weak to earth spells, and give 852 experience per kill. They can be very easily killed, so you want to find a world with high respawn rates. Kill these until level 95.
    • You could switch to metal dragons in the Brimhaven dungeon at level 85 but be sure to bring an anti-dragon shield or antifire potions. You can get 100k experience per hour here, but you will also get dragon bones and potentially the dragon visage.
  8. Kill Ganodermic beasts. These can be found on the final floor of the Polypore dungeon. These drop lots of Ganondermic flakes and polypore sticks, as well as lots of seeds that you can do to make your money back, but you need 95 slayer to kill these.
    • If you do not have 95 slayer, you can fire wave glacors after Ritual of the Majaharrat to get around 300k exp per hour as well as lots of charms.
  9. Kill creatures of the Abyss. Switch to ancient Magicks and use Blood Barrage in the abyss. Pick a corner in the Abyss and turn auto attack on. The healing effect from the barrage should be enough so you don't need food, but bring food anyway just in case. If you have 94 Prayer, soul split can be helpful too. Do this until level 99.

Non-Combat

  1. Complete quests that give you magic experience. Examples include Imp Catcher, Merlin's Crystal etc. These can rank you up without actually having to do much besides complete quests, doing all of the quests available, you should be able to enchant sapphire.
  2. Enchant sapphire rings. At level 7 you can enchant sapphire rings into rings of recoil, which are wanted by Player Killers. You are going to need quite a few cosmic runes, and a water staff are recommended. Sell the rings on the G.E for a little money back. Do thing until level 27.
  3. Enchant emerald rings. By using the same process, enchanting emerald rings into rings of Duelling can make you a lot of exp, along with quite a chunk of change, do this until level 33, or 55 if you really need the money.
  4. Telegrab wines at the Altar of Zamorak. This is located northwest of Falador and due west of Taverly. These wines cost several thousand due to their use in Super Ranging potions, however this place is often overrun bots, so it can be hard to find an empty. Do this until level 43.
    • Alternatively, you can telegrab items below Varrock Bank for some money back, however that ruby ring will be forever out of reach.
  5. Superheat ores. At level 43 you can cast superheat on ores that you could smith at furnaces to turn them into bars.
    • Steel and gold are good choices if you have a low smithing level, however if you have above 65 smithing, you can actually make money doing adamantite ore or runite, making large profits. Do this until level 55.
  6. High Alchemy items. Things like Yew Longbows will almost always net you profit when you alchemy them. You will need a lot of nature runes and a fire staff to do this. Continue this until level 58, or until level 99, as this is one of the few methods that will always net a profit, and it is relatively AFK.
  7. Teleport to Watchtower. This spell requires the Watchtower quest to be completed. It takes 2 law runes and 2 earth runes, so having a mystic earth staff can help cut down on costs. You can continuously cast this for about 100k experience an hour.
    • Alternatively you can make these on tablets to save some money, however this is slower and the tablets are hard to sell. Do this until level 68.
  8. Humidify fish bowls. This is a lunar spell, so you have to complete Lunar Diplomacy to use this. With the use of hotkeys, it is possible to empty and refill a fishbowl in very rapid succession, resulting in huge exp gains, as each casts nets 65 experience. Using a mystic steam staff can help cut down on costs depending on how much it costs. Do this until level 71.
    • You can also do this to empty vials to make some money back, however you won't break even.
  9. Cast Hunter Kit. This is again using Lunar Magicks. Using hotkeys it is possible to do 4 casts in a single animation, filling the inventory quite quickly. If you need the money, you can then open the hunter kits and sell the box traps for a few hundred each. Do this until level 80
  10. Alternatively you can cast super glassmake. Starting at level 77 you can cast this spell. Have 13 buckets of sand and 13 seaweed in your inventory, and then using this Lunar Magic spell. This gives 40k experience an hour, but you can make quite a bit of money as people need this for glassblowing.
  11. Stringing Jewelry. At level 80, you can use this Lunar Magic spell to make unstrung amulets into strung. This takes quite a bit of time to stock up on unstrung amulets, so you may want to start buying them. This offers both crafting and magic experience, up to 130k an hour total. Do this until level 86.
  12. Cast plank make. The most cost-effective way to do this is with teak logs, as it offers the lowest Gp/xp. You can combo this with construction, or sell the planks back to get some of your money back. You can continue doing this until 99 Magic!


Warnings

  • Never have expensive items in your inventory while using alchemy. Accidental clicks, though not intentional, can cost you a lot of cash.
  • Do not use third party software! Doing so may result in a permanent ban for your account!
  • Don't tire yourself out. Grab a level every so often, but don't do it constantly.
  • Never use alchemy on things that will not cover the cost to buy your nature runes back.
  • understand alchemy is not the fastest Xp let alone to make constitution Xp.
  • Always be into what you're doing. Pick the skill to get 99 and stick to it. Remember that the hard parts are frustrating and stay calm during those parts.
  • Take breaks.
