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. | 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.

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. | 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.

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. You will be here until {{Skill|Magic|85}}. Once you have {{Skill|Magic|85}} you will upgrade to {{ItemIcon|Glacia God Platebody|Glacia Armour|nolink=true}}, and then return to get a single level to {{Skill|Magic|86}}. | ||
{{ItemIcon|Mind Rune|Mind Runes}} are very useful lategame as {{Icon|Water Strike|type=spell}} is the most rune-efficient spell to use for {{ItemIcon|Cloudburst Staff}} and {{ItemIcon|Ocean Song}}, so you will want to keep them. You will also want to keep {{ItemIcon|Fire Rune}} for {{Icon|Incinerate|type=spell}} for {{ZoneIcon|Impending Darkness Event}}. {{ItemIcon|Water Rune}} and {{ItemIcon|Earth Rune}} are not terribly important. | The rest of your magic training will come after {{ZoneIcon|Into the Mist}} once you have the passive slot. You will return again to {{MonsterIcon|Raging Horned Elite}} to get {{Skill|Magic|90}} to wield {{ItemIcon|Ocean Song}}, and then train from {{Skill|Magic|90}}-{{Skill|Magic|99}} on {{MonsterIcon|Umbora}} while grinding out {{ItemIcon|Tidal Edge}}. | ||
