You can now make use of every spell up until {{Icon|Fire Bolt|type=spell}} with the exception of {{Icon|Wind Bolt|type=spell}} as this will still have an elemental cost. Prioritise all other elemental spells until you consume your elemental runes, and then finish training on the highest level air spell that has no elemental rune cost. Make sure to use the highest level Surge aurora that you can that has no elemental cost. This will be {{Icon|Surge I|type=aurora}} from {{Skill|Magic|30}}-{{Skill|Magic|40}} and {{Icon|Surge II|type=aurora}} afterwards. The light runes will be supplied from {{UpgradeIcon|Standard Resupply}} and will be in considerable abundance, so these should not be conserved. | You can now make use of every spell up until {{Icon|Fire Bolt|type=spell}} with the exception of {{Icon|Wind Bolt|type=spell}} as this will still have an elemental cost.

After {{Skill|Magic|50}}, you will now use a {{ItemIcon|Mystic Air Staff}} conserve | After {{Skill|Magic|50}}, you will now use a {{ItemIcon|Mystic Air Staff}} conserve 7 elemental runes and primarily use {{Icon|Wind Blast|type=spell}} to level up, as this is the new highest no-elemental cost spell available. The relative damage increase between spells is lower as flat damage has diminishing returns, so there isn't much dps sacrificed by sticking to this one spell. However, the only way to obtain this staff is from {{ZoneIcon|Hall of Wizards}} at a relatively low drop rate (~1/191.67). On the plus side, you will get some nice runes along the way and a good pet hopefully. You will also want to obtain a full set of {{ItemIcon|Red Wizard Hat|Red Robes|nolink=true}}. It is debatable whether staying here all the way until full {{ItemIcon|Ancient Wizard Hat|Ancient Robes|nolink=true}} is worthwhile. The robes have a very low drop rate and will likely take awhile to complete, but you will obtain some useful runes and almost certainly obtain the pet. It is also important to maximise rune efficiency by maximising magic damage bonus, as rune gathering is a slow process. If you are completionistic in nature then it may be a good idea, although strictly speaking it would be faster to focus on simply obtaining more {{ItemIcon|Death Rune}} from {{MonsterIcon|Master Wizard}} and {{MonsterIcon|Necromancer}} than worrying about min-maxing the rune efficiency. | ||
Once you have your gear, the best monster to kill is {{MonsterIcon|Raging Horned Elite}} as they are melee and drop valuable food, as well as giving a decent income and ammo. They have 5% DR, so using {{PrayerIcon|Battleheart}} if you have the {{Skill|Prayer}} level is recommended, along with {{PrayerIcon|Augury}}. Kill either {{MonsterIcon|Master Wizard}} or {{MonsterIcon|Necromancer}} for {{ItemIcon|Chaos Rune}} and/or {{ItemIcon|Death Rune}} whenever you need more runes. You will be here until {{Skill|Magic|86}}. It is both more rune-efficient and time-efficient to gather runes and use them separately, rather than try to kill {{MonsterIcon|Necromancer}} with magic directly to slightly replenish the consumed runes. Making use of the triangle bonus is starting to become very important. | Once you have your gear, the best monster to kill is {{MonsterIcon|Raging Horned Elite}} as they are melee and drop valuable food, as well as giving a decent income and ammo.
