I'm trying to think of a good way to make a magepure, but im not sure about in a f2p world. Any ideas?
Stats:
Attack: 21 (because of a quest :|)
Strength:1
Defense:10 (for combat armor)
Range: 1
Magic: 70
Constitution: 53
Prayer:17


any good ideas?
Remember its F2P :P

P.S. I was thinking about just doing curses and not raising my constituition at all, but raising my magic to 99 :D. Any comments?

Remember you will want to have a high HP to be able to live through against pure rangers ;)

I have the impression that mage pure in f2p is not that good, although when I tried it out not too long ago magic did seem slightly stronger.

mage stands no chance in f2p. Its useless if you are in the higher lvls. It can be handy against rune pures but they will put their armor of and still own you :)

my pure got

att 41
stre 76
range 79
mage 64
def 1
pray 1
thief 78 lol (seedburglar ;))

combat 55

Here is some good training methods:

Superheating - Lots of clicking but cheap. You also gain smithing xp
High alchemy - Easy to train. Might not be too cheap.
Curse - Easy to train. Not too cheap…

Air Strike on Chickenkiller? :)

Slow, but you make money and get HP.

if you go above lvl 40 with your pure mage, your going to get owned by hybrids and everything inbetween.

if you make a pure mage, i say keep it lvl20-35 and only at that.

This. At higher levels you're going to just get owned by range and it won't be any fun.

Even from lvl 20-35 it's probably not going to be super fun on f2p.

Its just a big waste of money. You wont get it back in pking in f2p. Well good luck :)

Not worth it because:

1) It's expensive.
2) You only have access to low spells.
3) People know your max hit too easily (just keep lp over 160 and you can't die to a mager in f2p).
4) There are too many rangers, even though ranged is really underpowered in f2p too, it's still way more efficient than magic.

It's just a big waste of money and it's not even fun to play with magers. I wish magic still worked the same way it did in RSC, aka. no penalty from heavy armor, no hp experience from spells and it got your cb level up way slower (the same rate as prayer iirc), so you had those lovely botted <30 cb mages in full rune doing ridiculous damage with magic.. Actually, that'd be pretty horrible.
