Spell costs and casts needed for any Magic level

Enter your Magic level or look up your account, set a target, and the table lists every spell with the casts you need and the rune cost of each cast at today's prices. Pick the target, then use the category chips to narrow the list to combat spells, alchemy, enchanting, teleports and so on. A Magic goal is mostly a choice between cheap slow spells, expensive fast ones and the few that turn a profit.

Profit each is the value of what you make minus the materials, at current Grand Exchange mid prices and before the 2% GE tax. Negative numbers are a cost. Greyed rows need a higher level than you have.

How the magic calculator counts casts

Every row is one cast. Cost is the runes the spell uses at current prices; for spells that make something, such as alchemy, Superglass Make or Plank Make, the value of what comes out is set against the runes, so those rows can show a profit. Magic has no xp-boosting outfit, so the bonus selector stays on none. The cost assumes you buy every rune. With an elemental staff the runes it covers are free, so a fire staff takes the fire runes off High Level Alchemy and the real cost per cast is lower than shown.

Combat spells are the exception to fixed xp. Each cast gives its base xp plus 2 Magic xp for every point of damage dealt, so the calculator's figure for Ice Barrage or Fire Wave is the base, and your real xp depends on your hits. For a combat-spell view with max hits, see the spell list.

Key spells and their runes

Spell	Level	XP per cast	Runes	Used for
Lvl-1 Enchant	7	17.5	1 cosmic, 1 water	Sapphire jewellery and bolts
Low Level Alchemy	21	31	1 nature, 3 fire	Cheap early xp
Superheat Item	43	53	1 nature, 4 fire	Magic and Smithing together
Camelot Teleport	45	55.5	1 law, 5 air	The classic 45 to 55 stretch
High Level Alchemy	55	65	1 nature, 5 fire	Slow xp that can pay for itself
Ice Burst	70	40 plus damage xp	4 water, 4 chaos, 2 death	Bursting on Slayer tasks
Plank Make	86	90	2 astral, 1 nature, 15 earth	Lunar; turns logs into planks
Enchant Crossbow Bolt (Onyx)	87	97	1 cosmic, 20 fire, 1 death	Ten onyx bolts per cast
Ice Barrage	94	52 plus damage xp	6 water, 2 blood, 4 death	Fastest Magic xp in the game

Spell levels, base xp and runes above are fixed; the cost per cast moves with rune prices, which the calculator reads at today's values. Plank Make needs Lunar Diplomacy and Dream Mentor, and Ice Burst and Ice Barrage need Desert Treasure I.

Fast, cheap or profitable

Fastest: bursting and barraging groups of monsters. Ice Barrage on maniacal monkeys in Kruk's Dungeon reaches about 400,000 xp an hour, and many players burst Slayer tasks like dust devils and nechryael, where the drops cover part of the runes. Look at the Ice Barrage page for runes per hour.

Cheapest: splashing and teleports. Splashing on a monster with negative Magic accuracy costs one set of runes per cast and needs a click only every 20 minutes; the splashing calculator covers it in detail. Camelot Teleport from 45 costs a law rune a cast and takes 1,895 casts to get from 45 to 55.

Profitable: High Level Alchemy on items that sell for less than their alch value plus a nature rune, and Lunar spells like Spin Flax, Superglass Make, Tan Leather and Plank Make, where the product is worth more than the input. The high alchemy list ranks alch items by profit and buy limit, and Lunar spell money makers covers the rest.

The alching stretch

High Level Alchemy is slow, about 78,000 xp an hour at most and less while you do other things, but it can cost nothing or make money. From 55 it takes 197,967 casts to reach 99, which is why most players alch alongside other training rather than as the main method. The nature rune price sets the floor for every alch.

Free xp worth taking

The Arceuus Library gives 15 times your Magic level in xp per book you find for a customer, with no runes at all. Quests help early: Witch's Potion and Imp Catcher take you to 10 for nothing. The Magic training guide has the full level route.

How many high alchs do I need for 99 Magic?

High Level Alchemy gives 65 xp per cast, so it takes 197,967 casts from the start of level 55 to 99. That is one nature rune per cast, plus fire runes unless you wield a fire staff. At up to about 1,200 casts an hour, that is a very long stretch on its own.

What is the fastest way to train Magic in OSRS?

Ice Barrage on groups of monsters, such as maniacal monkeys, at around 400,000 xp an hour. Ice Burst from 70 is the cheaper version. Both need Desert Treasure I. Among non-combat spells, Lunar spells like Plank Make and Tan Leather are the fastest options that also pay.

How does combat spell xp work?

Each combat spell gives a fixed base xp per cast plus 2 Magic xp for every point of damage. A splash, where the spell misses, gives only the base xp. That is why the calculator shows the base for combat spells: your real figure depends on accuracy and the monster's hitpoints.

What is the cheapest way to get 99 Magic?

Profitable Lunar spells and high alching items that alch for more than they cost. Both can come close to breaking even or better, though slower than bursting. Splashing is cheap per cast but very slow. Sort the calculator by gp per xp to see today's order.

Do I need a staff for magic calculations?

A staff changes the cost, not the xp. An elemental staff gives unlimited runes of its element, so take those runes off the cost the calculator shows. Battlestaves and mystic staves work the same way, and combination staves such as a smoke battlestaff cover two elements.
