What's going on guys, my name's Theoatrix and here are 10 fast ways to 99 magic.
Guide Outline
If you would prefer to watch a video-version of this guide, I have linked that below. Otherwise, continue scrolling to read the written-version of this guide.
Splash Stun Alching
Starting with a method that works for pures as well and it's called Splash stun alching.
While splashing something, you can alternate between fast experience and more AFK. You can use stun alch while you're actively playing at the computer, then when you go AFK your character continues to automatically splash for magic XP. While stun alching you can get over 180k magic XP per hour, then while splashing you can get up to 60k.
A new item was introduced at the end of May called The Cursed Amulet of Magic, which is useful for splashing since it gives a negative magic attack and damage bonus. You get it by killing necromancers in Kourend, with a drop rate of only 1 in five, or you can just buy it off the grand exchange.
Another fast magic method is stun telly alching. This involves teleporting to Ardy, then stunning a nearby guard then alching something and repeating. This gives over 250k magic XP per hour, but it's very click intensive. You could also splash the guard when you go AFK for continued magic XP, but only if you have a decent defence level.
Scurrius Magic Training
Next up is training magic at Scurrius with a bone staff. You need 50 magic to wear the bone bone staff and you need a spine drop from Scurrius.
You then make the bone staff by combining a battle staff, chaos runes, plus the spine. The staff uses one chaos rune per charge, which is only 100 coins, so this is a fairly cost effective way to train magic.
It used to give base experience so every time you casted with the staff it would give you 35 magic XP, but players found that you could splash the rats at Scurrius for 200k Magic XP per hour, and it was very AFK. So they changed it so the staff doesn't give any base experience.
The max XP rate at Scurrius with a bone staff is over 150k magic XP per hour, and it's very fast at a low level. The average loot per Scurris kill is 10K, so you will make some money back. You can also trade in the extra spines for 5K magic XP, which further boosts your XP rate.
On the topic of Scurrius, I have to talk about AFKing. You can AFK entire Scurrius kills and multiple kills at once. Just with blood barrage you get over 100k magic XP per hour while doing this, but it is a very costly method where each blood barrage costs 2K. So this is only really good for pet hunters or for those that don't care about money.
It takes around 60 hours to be on rate for the pet if you use this this AFK method. It's very AFK with a high defence level and a high magic level, you just have to restore your prayer points every few minutes.
Passive Magic Training
If you want to train to 99 magic the most efficiently you should do it by training passively while you do other activities.
There's a number of spells you can use on the go. You can high alch, you can magic imbue, or enchant bolts. In terms of activities you can do while training magic you can train a agility for example, or you can train hunter or you can alch while you do farm runs, or you could cast spells while you complete quests.
Fastest XP (Enchanting Bolts)
But for the absolute fastest magic XP per hour in the game you should be enchanting bolts.
You can one tick enchant bolts which makes it three times faster than regular enchanting. With Onyx bolts you can get up to 580k Magic XP per hour with perfect clicks. But more realistically you'll get around 500k per hour with some errors.
You have to hold space bar and click the bolt enchantment spell every 0.6 seconds. Onyx bolts are very expensive to train with but they're actually the most cost effective bolt you can enchant. Going from when you unlock them to 99 magic, enchanting Onyx bolts is going to cost you over 100 mil.
AFK Kraken
While Kraken is submerged you can attack and you'll get the magic experience based on what you would have hit.
Here, you can AFK for up to 20 minutes at a time, as long as you have the logout timer Runelite plugin set. You can expect to get over 150k magic XP per hour with fire surge, completely AFK. But you can speed it up even further with a harmonized nightmare staff. This increases your attack speed by one tick, essentially speeding up your magic XP rates by 20%.
To be able to fight Kraken though you do need a Kraken Slayer task, which requires level 87 Slayer.
String Jewellery
Next, I'll show you two more fast AFK methods. Casting string jewellery is a decently fast and a very AFK way to train your magic. You can get around 130k XP per hour while AFKing for 48 seconds per inventory.
To cast string jewellery you need to have completed the Luna Diplomacy quest to access the Luna Spellbook, and you'll also need 80 magic. Stringing any amulet is a cheap way to train but for profit you can string topaz amulets for 280 coins profit per string, that's about 400k in profit per hour while very AFK. Although people usually just string gold amulets since they're cheap and only cost about 2 GP per XP with the string jewellery spell.
Plank Make
Another AFK method is casting "make plank", which requires the lunar spell book plus the dream Mentor Quest, and it also requires 87 magic.
Plank make is about 90k XP per hour while AFKing with AFK intervals of 90 seconds at a time. But you can also manually cast plank make for up to 160k Magic XP per hour. If you're AFKing you can expect up to 300K in profit per hour if you make mahogany planks. Sadly, all of the other planks will make you lose money.
Tan Leather
The next method to 99 magic is another spell on the Luna spell book, and that is tan leather. To cast this you need to have completed the hard Frememnik diary, plus you need 78 magic.
This spell can't be auto casted you have to keep clicking the spell and manually cast, but it does give 130 K XP per hour by doing so. Tanning Dragon leather is the most profitable. Where for example, turning red dragon hide will net you over 1 mil GP per hour in profit at this point in time.
Bursting & Barraging Maniacal Monkeys
Next, is bursting. And firstly you can burst the maniacal monkeys after the Monkey Madness 2 quest for around 250k magic XP per hour.
With ice barrage you can get up to 400k Magic XP per hour, although it's very expensive, it's much more cost effective to burst.
If you can you you should be using virtus since it gives the highest magic damage bonus with ancient spells. You can also bring a Bone Crusher and a dragon bone necklace if you plan to stay here for a long time. Using those two items automatically buries the bones then gives you pray points back in return.
There's also some monsters you can burst to break even or make a small profit dust devils and nechryael's are two examples where you can get at least 200k XP per hour bursting them, while making money back. They drop a lot of alchables and stackable drops, making them easy to camp.
Bossing With Magic
Now let's talk about bossing, and what do you think is the best boss for magic XP?
I would say Scurrius is best for pure magic experience, particularly if you're not caring about profits. However, completing TOA's with high invocations is very good magic XP, and places like Cox, can be considered to be very good passive magic training.
Anyways, that was 10 fast ways to 99 magic in Old School Runescape. Thanks for reading.
