OSRS Magic Gear Progression Guide [July 2024]

In OSRS, Combat is divided into 3 different attack styles. Runescape has three different gear types as well that all correlate to one of OSRS' specific attack styles. In this video I will be providing you with an optimal OSRS Magic Gear Progression guide for runescape's magic skill. Recently, there was a combat rebalancing that completely changed how magic gear works. In this video I hope that I can clear up how those changes impacted gear progression.

Things in an MMORPG change constantly, it's what makes them what they are. Oldschool runescape gets regular updates every wednesday so things in this video will become less accurate over time, depending on what new updates come into the game. the core items should remain relatively the same though

For this OSRS magic gear progression guide I will be sectioning them off, and upgrading the gear based off of how much things cost.
This is because it takes only about 15-20 hours to get 80 magic from scratch, where it will take you well over a hundred to make the GP required to purchase the tier 80 gear.

There are a lot of niche items in runescape and your optimal progression will depend on what you are looking to do in game personally. It's impossible to account for every scenario, feel free to ask for guidance in the comments below.

You forgot about a saturated heart, if you use a lot of powered staffs it boosts your max hit with 10+ depending on gear, i believe its worth getting even before virtus

One thing to note is the Elidinis Ward requires 80 prayer to wear, and buying 80 prayer is obviously a hidden cost. The Malediction Ward has 2% magic dmg instead of 3% and 0 pray bonus instead of 1, but it has way way better defense and better magic accuracy, and is cheaper than Elidinis.

Surprised the nightmare staff wasn’t on here. I picked one up for inferno attempts once summer is over

[Eustes]

Another great video PatyFaty! i love the format you have for these gear progression guides

[deividas]

Thank you. Please do this for range and melee. Watched the old ones many times 🙂

[emma_tm]

i think i already knew everything in this, but i just watched to listen to you ramble

[jerejarvinen]

Thanks! I didn't know of the ancient sceptre before this

[andrewsavagetrapana]

Do a new range progression guide again and melee as well please

[Antineii]

Very helpful. Thanks again for another useful video.

Don’t forget about base nightmare staff (no orb)! It costs less than half the price of the kodai wand for an EXTREMELY small DPS decrease compared to it.

[WhateverNameIsStillAvailable]

Basically start with god cape (i), occult, ahrims, trident, tormented bracelet, eledinis ward and eternal boots (~30m). Upgrade trident to sang when you can (~100m).

Then years later when you're super rich you buy Shadow along with ancestral and magus ring (<2B).

A progression video for ironmen would be much more interesting because there will be much more progression other than these 2 standard set-ups.

Decent video, randomly popped up. Forgot brophyta is best f2p staff, no hearts included and lastly who gets a trident before glory haha that made me chuckle! Glory should be miles before trident. Good vid tho 👍🏼

[kyleleblanc]

Accursed sceptre’s spec is also great if you don’t have an Eldritch yet. Also, a base Nightmare Staff also has 15% dmg and can autocast ancients as a cheaper Kodai alternative, but it’s accuracy is a bit lower.

Great vid tho king

[the_audsquad]

God how my child brain could not comprehend runes. Glad to play this game in my thirty’s now.

[hootie]

Love it. Also I think Brophyta staff is highest available in f2p

[ericskoglie]

Very nice! Plz do updated melee and range gear progression

[eerr]

woooo thanks for the vid praise bloodbark

[bloodyax]

Nightmare staff is the best for barraging/bursting in the 55 mil range. It should be a step below Kodai at half the price. Both give 15% Damage

[marloturunen]

Hey, could you tell why u use lightbearer on ringslot? and not the mage gear ring? It dosnt have any boonus. or has i understand something wrong?

[hardthome]

I’m new… but doesn’t the lightbear ring only affect special attacks?
