Game Guides , Runescape
Training with a P2P account is always going to be better because you're given more options for training. If it's OSRS P2P magic training you're after, you've come to the right place.
You can train Magic faster at higher levels by casting multi-target burst or barrage spells on Ancient Magicks. Slayer tasks are a good way to do this because you can quickly get Slayer experience by bursting or barrageing some Slayer monsters like dust devils and Greater Nechryael.
Is Magic Worth Training In OSRS?
Magic is one of the combat options in OSRS. While you can go through the game relying solely on Melee and Range attacks, it's worth noting that some bosses are innately weak to Magic. Being adept in all forms of combat will make you more versatile in OSRS.
Increasing your Magic Skill also gives you access to a variety of offensive and defensive spells, teleport spells to make getting around easier, as well as enchanting for money making and training purposes.
Lastly, there are a few quests in OSRS that have a Magic requirement. As of this writing, there's 18, which are:
- In Aid of Myreque - Level 7
- Watchtower - Level 14
- Elemental Workshop II - Level 20
- Darkness of Hallowvale - Level 33
- The Giant Dwarf - Level 33
- Spirits of the Elid - Level 33
- A Kingdom Divided - Level 35
- Enakhra's Lament - Level 39
- King's Ransom - Level 45
- The Eyes of Glouphire - Level 46
- Sins of the Father - Level 49
- Desert Treasure I - Level 50
- Legend's Quest - Level 56
- Family Crest - Level 59
- Lunar Diplomacy - Level 65
- Swan Song - Level 66
- Desert Treasure II - Level 75

Fastest OSRS P2P Magic Training
Levels 1-34: Questing
You can skip early levels by finishing quests that give Magic experience.Here's a quick rundown of early low-requirement quests that you can do for extra XP.
Witch's Potion
This gives you a total of 325 Magic XP, allowing you to skip a few levels quickly. To begin, talk to Hetty. She's in her house in Rimmington which is located south of Falador and west of Port Sarim.
Imp Catcher
Next up is Imp Catcher which rewards you with 875 Magic XP. Head to the top floor of the Wizard's Tower and speak to Mizgog.
Watchtower
To finish Watchtower, you'll first have to complete Fairytale I - Growing Pains and The Grand Tree. Once done. Speak to the Watchtower Wizard within the Watchtower to begin the quest.
Recipe for Disaster/Freeing the Lumbridge Guide
After doing all three, do the Freeing the Lumbridge subquest in Recipe for Disaster. Doing these 4 will net you with enough XP to get to level 34.
However, all quests after Imp Catcher are a bit lengthy. If you're rushing to get to higher Magic levels, move onto enchanting bolts instead. If you don't mind a longer route and are aiming for things like the Quest Point Cape, you might as well do questing first.
There are a lot of other quests that give Magic XP but considering that they take long to beat, it's more practical to try out other leveling methods if you want to get to 99 fast.
Levels 4-55/99: Enchanting Bolts
The Enchant spell is beneficial for both money-making and magic training. Enchanting bolts is currently one of the fastest ways to get to 99 Magic but it is very click-intensive. The good news is that you can still cast this spell while running or doing other activities.
Based on the current mechanics of the game, you can enchant a set of ten bolts for every three in-game ticks. You can make the process faster by holding down the space bar and clicking on the spell quickly. This will take a bit of practice to get the timing right but it's more than worth it.
But, this method can be very expensive. Unless you have a steady stream of gold, avoid doing this method. If you want to stick with this one, you can buy gold from RPGStash to make the journey much quicker.
You can start doing low-level Alchemy at any point after you turn level 21. It's far less expensive but the XP rates are lower as well.
The experience rates and costs are displayed in the table below.
Magic level | Enchantment | Runes | XP/cast | Material cost each[1] | Profit each | XP/h[2] | GP/XP |
4 | Opal | 2 Air Runes 1 Cosmic Rune | 9 | 1,060 | -1,020 | 49,500 | -113.33 |
7 | Sapphire | 1 Water Rune 1 Cosmic Rune 1 Mind Rune | 17 | 962 | -772 | 93,500 | -45.41 |
24 | Pearl | 2 Water Runes 1 Cosmic Rune | 29 | 940 | -910 | 159,500 | -31.38 |
27 | Emerald | 3 Air Runes 1 Cosmic Rune 1 Nature Rune | 37 | 1,423 | -1,263 | 203,500 | -34.14 |

How Fast Is This Method To Get To Level 99 Magic?
While costly, this method is the fastest in our opinion. This method takes around 27 hours to complete but you’ll need a whopping 100+ gold in your bank for all of the enchanting methods you’ll have to do. To make the process quicker. We suggest doing only Witch’s Potion and Imp Catcher to get to level 10 Magic. From there, you’ll start enchanting bolts. Here’s a sample computation of a smooth run.
XP/HR | Time | Cost | |
Levels 1-10: Quests | N/A | 10 mins | 2,000 gold |
Levels 10-27: Enchant Sapphire Bolts | 90,000+ | 10 mins | 550,000 gold |
Levels 27-49: Enchant Emerald Bolts | 155,000+ | 30 mins | 2,600,000 gold |
Levels 49-57: Enchant RubyBolts | 320,000+ | 20 mins | 2,900,000 gold |
Levels 57-68: Enchant Diamond Bolts | 365,000+ | 1 hr | 11,500,000 gold |
Levels 68-87: Enchant Dragonstone Bolts | 425,000+ | 8 hr | 59,000,000 gold |
Levels 87-99: Enchant Onyx Bolts | 530,000+ | 17 hr | 25,000,000 gold |
P2P Magic Combat Training
If you want something more exciting, you can opt to do combat Magic training techniques instead. The benefit of this is that you can increase other combat skills at the same time. You'll also be able to earn a decent profit depending on your method. For P2P players, there are a few methods worth doing.
Killing Crabs
From Magic Levels 1-55, the best combat method for training is by killing crabs. These are weak creatures that shouldn't pose that heavy of a threat. You can maximize your XP gain by using the highest-level battle spell.
There are three types of crabs you can train with. What makes them great is their high hitpoints and low damage output. Meaning you can get the most out of your magic without being in danger too much.
- Fossil Island's Ammonite Crabs (requires Bone Voyage quest) - With 100 hitpoints per crab, these are thought to be the ideal crabs for training. Typically, spawn areas are rather crowded. They also drop unidentified fossils that, after being cleaned up, can be exchanged for experience lamps at Varrock Museum. Unless you're wearing Chaos gauntlets, Wind Blast or higher is recommended.
- Hosidius' Sand Crabs - They don't require a quest and have 60 hitpoints. However, they are usually crowded. Make sure to tread the area lightly so that you don't get the aggro of more crabs than you can handle.
- Rellekka's Rock Crabs - They only have 50 hitpoints but they don't have any quest requirements and are typically less crowded than sand and ammonite crabs.
Killing Maniacal Monkeys
The quickest and most efficient method for learning Magic in real-time is to kill maniacal monkeys in Kruk's Dungeon. Before doing this, you should've completed section in Monkey Madness II where you finally get to Kruk's Dungeon.
As maniacal monkeys are dangerous, make sure to have gear and items that boost Magic damage bonus. With the right spell such as Ice Burst or Ice Barrage, you can earn up to 310,000-400,000 Magic XP per hour.
Catacombs of Kourend Slayer Tasks
It's possible to hit two birds with one stone If you're looking to train your Slayer and Magic skills. This method is profitable or at least, it helps you break even on the costs.
For this, we suggest using an ancient staff and ice-burst. Focus on fighting Nechrealys, Abby Demons, Dust Devils, and Dagganoths. Anything that takes up 1x1 space in the Kourend catacombs is a good method of training.
Best Magic Weapons For Training
If you're going to do combat to train Magic, you'll also need a good weapon. In most cases, it's highly recommended to get an elemental staff that has autocasting. This is of course, given that you have enough runes to spare for using magic.
Those weapons are Staff of Air, Staff of Water, Staff of Earth, and Staff of Fire. Make sure to adjust your weapon according to the weakness of the monsters you're fighting. In any case, you might want to consider other weapons as well so here's a look at all of magic weapons in the game.
