This guide will show you how to level your Magic skill from 1 to 99 (or 120) in a simple and easy way for RuneScape 3 (RS3). Let’s dive in!

Before You Start

1. Gear You’ll Need

• Armor:

  • Use anything you can afford early on.

  • At level 60, switch to Lunar Armor for more damage.

  • At level 86, you can use Tank Armor with the Animate Dead spell to become very tough.

• Weapons:

  • Use the best staff or magic weapon you can afford.

  • It doesn’t matter if it’s two-handed or dual-wield—just pick what’s cheaper for your level.

2. Spells

• Air Spells: Use these at early levels since they don’t require many runes.

• Blood Spells: These heal you while damaging enemies. Unlock them through the Desert Treasure quest.

• Animate Dead: This makes you super tanky when paired with Tank Armor. Unlock it through the City of Senntisten quest.

3. Helpful Items

• Salve Amulet: Boosts your damage and accuracy against undead monsters.

• Vampyrism Aura: Heals you for a percentage of the damage you deal.

• Aggression Potions: Makes monsters attack you automatically, so you can train faster.

• What to Do:

  • Use Fire Spells since zombies are weak to fire.

Final Tips

• Upgrade Your Gear: Focus on better weapons first, as they improve your damage the most.

• Switch Spells as Needed: Use Blood Spells or Animate Dead for tougher fights.

• Don’t Rush: If higher-level enemies are too tough, stay at lower-level ones until you’re ready.
