Free-to-play Magic training

Training Magic in free-to-play is rather tedious and requires attention, but experience can be gained relatively quickly. Magic training is, for the most part, not extremely expensive, and training up to level 59 can allow a player to use many common and useful non-member spells, including Varrock Teleport, Falador Teleport, Superheat Item, High level alchemy, and Fire Blast.

Quests with Magic experience
It is suggested that you finish these quests before training Magic, as it results in some quick Magic experience at low levels if necessary items are bought. None of the quests have any skill requirements.


 * The Blood Pact (100 Magic experience) (This quest also gives 100 experience in Attack, Strength, Defence, and Ranged, which may make this quest undesirable for Magic pures.)
 * Witch's Potion (this is no longer a quest but a miniquest for its reward of 325 Magic experience)
 * Imp Catcher (875 Magic experience)
 * Rune Mysteries an easy quest that gives you a free tower mindspike, 250 Magic experience, and 70 mind runes.
 * Beneath Cursed Tides is a fairly lengthy quest that gives you a 10,000 experience combat lamp,

Doing these quests gives a total of 1550 Magic experience, which brings a player's Magic level to level 11, with only 34 experience left required to reach level 12.

Also, after completing Death Plateau, a repeatable and simple task carrying boxes becomes available, with each trip (max 5 times, requiring min 10-18 combat level) giving 3x 180 experience reward lamps, totalling 2700 experience in total.

Dungeoneering
Players can use Magic in combat to gain Magic experience in Daemonheim. This Magic experience will come as an added bonus to the Dungeoneering experience. As with the Fist of Guthix activity, this method of training Magic is somewhat slower than methods of power-training Magic listed below, but comes with extra rewards (both Dungeoneering experience and rewards).

When using Magic in Daemonheim, the highest level staff available should always be used. For F2P players, a tangle gum staff should be bound until level 10 Magic, then a seeping elm staff until level 20, then a blood spindle staff until level 30, then an utuku staff until level 40, and finally a spinebeam or catalytic staff. All of these staves provide unlimited elemental runes, allowing the caster to use any offensive spell that they wish.

Buying Magic-oriented Dungeoneering rewards is also an effective way to train Magic. Dungeoneering staves, a tome of frost, and arcane necklaces are useful as well.

Available F2P Dungeoneering rewards are:
 * Arcane pulse necklace
 * Arcane blast necklace
 * Tome of frost
 * Nature staff
 * Law staff
 * Gravite staff

Air spells
With the Evolution of Combat, air spells now only require air runes to be cast. Using a mindspike (recommended over both Caitlin's staff and a staff of air) will allow you to train Magic free of cost.

The Goblin Village is an excellent place to train any low level combat skill, including Magic. By standing near the fire in the centre of the village, almost all visible goblins will be targetable by Magic without moving. They are fairly easy to kill, typically taking one hit even at low Magic levels, and each kill results in 25 experience towards Magic and 7-9 experience to Constitution when only training on Magic. Using this method a player can easily get from level 1 to the level 21 (Low Level Alchemy) in ~141 kills (as little as 12 minutes). From level 1 to level 41 (Air Blast - 3rd level of air spell) can take as little as 100 minutes.

Past level 41, both guards and hill giants are weak to air spells and offer higher experience/kill and better drops. Guards are found in groups near the entrances of Varrock and Falador. Barbarians are also easy to kill with Magic.

Equipment
Players at level 1 should start The Blood Pact quest and then use Caitlin's staff to kill monsters. Players should kill the troll shaman for the rare mindspike drop.

The tome of frost only requires 48 Dungeoneering to wield, but the tokens to purchase it require level 64. Similarly, the gravite staff only requires 45 Dungeoneering to wield, but the tokens to purchase it require level 64.

Recommended revolution ability bar:

Ruby enchanting
At level 49, you can buy ruby amulets, cosmic runes, and a fire staff/fire runes. Cast Enchant Level 3 Jewellery to turn the amulets into amulets of strength, then resell them to the GE for a slight gain. This is an underrated method of gaining Magic experience, as it is possible to make coins per amulet.

The enchanting sound effect has three "rings" of sound. To make sure you don't enchant too quickly and skip over a few amulets, only enchant the next amulet after you hear the third "ring" from enchanting the previous amulet. With a bit of practice, you can enchant up to 1700 amulets per hour.

High Level Alchemy
High Level Alchemy allows one to convert items into coins. Most players owe their high level of Magic to this spell, at 65 Magic experience per casting, using a fire staff so as to only consume 1 nature rune per spell. To find recommended items for this method please refer to Grand Exchange Market Watch/Alchemy. It is advised that you alch items in noted form and use the action bar to cast the spell, while keeping your mouse over your inventory. If you do not have much cash, alchemise steel equipment. This is one of the few spells that you can make a profit from. You can increase your profit by telegrabbing jugs of wine of Zamorak while alching. Bringing your noted item, a fire staff and nature runes in conjunction with normal telegrabbing equipment you can cast high level alchemy 7 times between each telegrab. Hardleather bodies are a great way to make money while levelling up your Magic. They sell for 51gp, but when you use high alchemy on them they turn into 102gp (but only if you kill cows, take their cowhide, tan it into hard leather and craft it into hardleather bodies).

You will need 12,867,795 experience to go from 55 to level 99. This means you will have to cast High Level Alchemy 197,967 times to get from 55 to 99. You can also use Superheat Item to help you make profit too, it can be used to help make armour which could be used for High Level Alchemy.

It gives 65-78k experience but, the most profitable items on free-to-play can only have 100 items bought every 4 hours and this is if you do this repeatedly. High Level Alchemy requires less attention than Superheat Item, but superheating gives good Smithing experience and good profit if you superheat steel or rune.

If explorer's ring 4 is in your possession you can use it to do up to 15 High Level Alchemy casts and 27 Superheat Item casts per day, for free - no runes required.

Magic pure training guide
If you are a pure who just wants Magic without levelling other skills, this guide will describe how to train Magic without training Constitution.

You will need a significant amount of coins.

Doing the Imp Catcher quest and the Witch's Potion and Stronghold of Player Safety (using the reward lamps for Magic experience) miniquests will bring your Magic level up to 14 without any Constitution experience.

Levels 1-3
Use wizard's mind bombs to boost your level to 3 and cast Confuse.

An alternative is to use the quests suggested above or other experience rewards to gain Magic experience.

Levels 3-7
37 mind runes needed to cast Confuse, though more may be required due to splashing. Do not equip an air staff or else you may risk killing lower-level targets. Use safe-spotting.

Levels 7-15/21
Cast Enchant Level 1 Jewellery on sapphire amulets until reaching Bones to Banana or Low Level Alchemy.

Level 15/21-43
Starting point will vary depending on player preferences as both spells can be performed at banks. (Bones to Bananas will require accessing the bank more often to withdraw a single set of bones to convert.)

At level 21, cast Low Level Alchemy.

Levels 43-55
This may require a high Smithing level (see Superheat Item for details).

Purchase all ores required at the Grand Exchange to smith iron, steel, mithril, adamant, or rune bars, equip a fire staff, and use the Superheat Item spell to smelt into bars. This is the fastest way to train Magic/Smithing simultaneously, generally breaking even. Superheat item gives 53 experience per cast, plus additional Smithing experience (based on which kind of metal bar you are smelting).

The experience needed to level from 43 to level 55 is 139,163. This will mean you will have to cast Superheat Item 2,626 times to get to level 55. When focused, it is possible to gain 70-80k experience per hour with this method (with steel bars).

Profit and costs from Superheating may vary depending on the market. Please refer to Grand Exchange Market Watch/Smithing.

Levels 55+
High Level Alchemy - A constantly updated list of items that yield profits can be found on Grand Exchange Market Watch/Alchemy, which High Level Alchemy is cast with assistance of staff of fire, so save the cost of the spell. Players are recommended to double check the immediate market price of items to prevent loss of coins.
