Runescape Magic: Dressing The Part (Drawrof)
September 10, 2007 | Leave a Comment
Long time reader Drawrof left a comment back on the topic of Effectively Using Magic and Range in Runescape, talking about getting the best Magic equipment possible whether you’re a Member or a Free to Play player:
Just thought I would remind all that if you plan to mage to dress the part.
For Mage in f2p, make sure you get yourself a blue wizard’s hat(+2 magic att & Def) and robe(+3 magic att & Def), and get a ammy of magic (+10 magic att). Wear a anti-dragon shield, or nothing. (regular shield lowers your magic attack) Since you have no option for magic stat boosting bottoms, try the Monk’s robes bottoms or buy a blue skirt. Lastly, use a Staff of what ever elemental type you want, they add 10 magic to attack.
Membership benefits becomes clear when it comes to maging. Full Mystic Robes, Split Bark Armour and the Infinity Line. From the lowly Zammy Robes (at least they give bottom bonus)to lofty God Capes, Ammy of Glory and the Full Ahrim’s Barrows set (+73 magic att&def) Plus dozens of new spells and runes to choose from.
Great tips, thanks for the details Drawrof!

Fighting in Runescape: Where To Start
November 30, 2006 | Leave a Comment
Even if you wish to eventually be an all-powerful Mage or Archerin Runescape, I strongly recommend all new players/players who aren’t already rich start with developing Attack, Strength and Defense skills, which are all improved by fighting in hand-to-hand combat, with some kind of sword, scimitar, dagger, maul, or whatever it is you’re going to bash your opponent to death with. Advancing magic and ranger skills are expensive, but having a good solid melee combat base will allow you time to collect runes and arrows in between your bouts as a Ranger or a Mage.
Now that you’ve got some fighting equipment (and if you don’t, Get an axe or a pick and find a buyer), let’s talk about great places to get started against opponents!
Goblins, Lvl 2
In Lumbridge, and between Lumbridge and Draynor Village (where the nearest bank is), there are a number of level 2 goblins running around. They are non-aggressive (meaning, they don’t initiate battles when you walk by them) and drop runes as well as low-level armors, as well as bones and coins. The low-level armors can be sold at the shop to build up your money stores, and the runes can be stored in your bank account for use when you decide to practice your magical skills.
Chickens and Cows, Lvl 2
To the northeast of Lumbridge, across the river from where you originally started the game (and where you re-start if you die), there are not only goblins, but chickens and cows as well.
These areas were discussed in a previous entry about aquiring food on Runescape without begging, but at that time I was focussing my attention on picking up raw beef and raw chickens that other players have left behind in their own battles.
This time, the attention is on being among those players slaying the poor innocent farm animals for experience, adventure, and glory!
Chickens also offer a bonus that was not discussed earlier - feathers, which are used in fly fishing and, if you’re a member, in fletching for the creation of arrows. Keep those feathers around, since you never know when you might need them or could sell them for up to 10gp a feather!
Cows also offer a bonus in that they drop cow hides which are used to improve the Crafting skill, but the hides don’t “stack” the same way the feathers do and your inventory fills up rather quickly, meaning lots of trips to the bank. However, just like in collecting raw beef from what other players have killed, you can collect cow hides and make that, instead of fighting the cows, your specific goal. It’s likely you can sell each cow hide for 10-20 gold once you’ve collected 100 or more.
Giant Rats, lvl 3
Just to the west (outside) of Lumbridge Castle is an area with a few level 3 giant white rats, and a few level 1 mice running around. Mainly, you get raw rat meat and bones from these rats, but occasionally you may luck out and receive a rat tail. It’s important to know where rat meat is as at least one quest asks for it, but I much prefer the previous opponents due to the better “drops” they offer.
Other non-grouped monsters
In Lumbridge there are a couple level 4 Women who reset in the houses. In general, Women and Men are great opponents to start against, and they offer decent “drops” including occasional clues to treasure trails!! For this reason you may find competition stiff for the Men and Women on Runescape.
That should give you a great start!

Effectively using Magic and Range in Runescape, free online RPG
February 5, 2006 | 6 Comments
Early on as a Runescape Mage or Ranger, you can fight much like you’d fight with a melee character, in being toe-to-toe with your opponent as you fire your spells or arrows into them. Low level NPC opponents don’t hit very hard so this strategy works just fine initially.
But, very soon you’re going to want to upgrade your strategy for fighting as a Mage or Ranger in the online role playing game, Runescape - soon, your opponents will start to beat you rather hard, because you don’t have the armor that a melee fighter does.
So, what are the Runescape tips to avoid being beaten upon by our opponents as we get higher level?
- Hide behind stuff, just like my secondary character (a little mismatched in dress) is doing with this lvl 10 Dwarf in the Dwarf Mines.
- Find monsters with good drops and good experience who offer you things to hide behind as you attack them.
- If you’re a member, scout out your slayer assignment and decide whether Ranger or Mage would work better in this situation or whether you should stick to playing bash-em with your metal armor.
- If you’re fighting something that casts magical spells at you, then play Ranger rather than Mage or Fighter. Leathers and dragonhides are more fire-resistant than either of the other two’s armor types.
In closing, I’d like to add that halberds can also be used like a Fighter’s “from a distance”/range weapon, allowing you to wear your highly protective armor while still attacking from afar, hiding behind or beside something your NPC opponent cannot get past. Blue Dragons and Hellhounds are two that come to mind immediately, although these are both member beasts I believe.
