Prayer - a skill which works best alongside your primary combat style (be it Magic, melee or Ranged). Through the use of prayers you can temporarily increase stats, reduce damage, and protect against various attacks.

To view what prayers are available to you in game, simply click on the Prayer icon. This can be found either at the top-right corner of the in-game menu (windowed mode) or at the bottom-right of the screen (resizable or full-screen mode). You should now have a list of all the prayers, with those currently available to you being lit up.

Summon - Summoning is a three-stage skill. That is, there are three distinct aspects to Summoning and using familiars. These stages are as follows:

1.Infusing pouches
Using special ingredients and the charged Summoning obelisks, you can create Summoning pouches which contain a familiar's essence.

2.Summoning familiars
Opening the pouch summons the familiar to follow you about and help you as you travel across RuneScape.

3.Using Summoning scrolls
Pouches can be 'transformed' into Summoning scrolls. All familiars have a special ability that can only be used if you have the correct scrolls.

Mage - Magic is one of the most useful and versatile skills within RuneScape. Once you have learnt to use it properly, you'll find that it complements many other skills within the game, while also acting as an incredibly powerful tool in its own right.

There are two sides to Magic: combat and non-combat. The use of Magic in a fight may be vital in gaining the upper hand and ultimate victory. Outside of combat, Magic can be used to teleport around RuneScape quickly, used in combination with other skills, or even for making money out of items you have obtained or made yourself.
Skill Advisor(s): none


Range - Ranged is a very flexible and useful skill to develop as part of your arsenal. It allows you to attack opponents from great distances, using a variety of projectile weapons. The bow and arrow is the most common weapon used by rangers. However, you can also train your Ranged skill using other weapons, such as throwing knives, darts and javelins.

Any questions? please ask

Skill: Ranged

Question: I am F2P and at level 54 Ranged. What would be the best way to train my Ranged level?

[Revan]

hill giants are a nice thing to train on personally.
lots of good drops and there are a few safespots if you need them.
main downside is that they are probably crowded.

[BMPar21]

Skill: Summoning

Question: I was wondering what the best way to collect Blue Charms would be.

[Revan]

well from experience its only rare and hard to get to things that drop blues alot...
only thing that comes to the top of my head is armoured zombies actually drop them more than crimsons...
other than that i believe the tormented wraith after summers end drops blues mostly, but hes a pain to fight.
mostly id suggest training with crimson charms rather than blues, and save blues for higher lvls when you need extra xp to lvl.

Skill: Summoning

Question: I am still a level 4 and finding it hard to level up any suggestions?

[Platky]

you should have recieved some gold charms after doing the wolf whistle quest. What you do is create pouches like you did in the quest, that is how you get experience. At that level for gold charms just make whatever the best thing you can is

[mercury2421]

Skill: Magic

Question: I'm F2P and my mage lvl is 48 what spell should I use and where should I train?

[Naretorah]

I might be wrong about this but just to help a lot of mage people use Fist Of Guthix to train magic. As for the spell I would just do probably the strongest spell you can. Note I don't do magic so much so this is just a suggestion I might give. Hope this helps.

[Halestone48]

fist of guthix is slightly slower then normal training but the runes you get are free. I suggest that if you want to train in there wear melee armor so you splash a lot and can cast more times and just use the highest combat spell you can.

You could also try high alchemy once you get 55 mage with a noted item but finding an item you can buy in bulk and still not lose too much on is difficult to say the least.

hope that helps

[mercury2421]

I have Explorer's Ring #2 so do you think I could get a bunch of bones and low alchemy them for free Mage Experience? I was just thinking about that. I tried Fist of Guthix I din't like it because it took forever so mageing in the "normal" world was a lot easier. I guess melee armour with wind blast would work though. I'm just gonna need a lot more money. Lol

[Naretorah]

bones are easy to get but what are faster are ashes just go to varrock and you got hundreds to thousands of these things.

[BMPar21]

Skill: Summoning

Question: I am currently lvl33 and I was wondering what the best way to train Summoning. Also what would be the best way to get the items needed.

[Halestone48]

Well. whenever you train combat pick up the charms no matter what. you ALWAYS have room for them. They are stack-able and you need them to train summoning. once you have a good amount you can find a summoning obelisk fairly close to a bank. the ge is a good place to get the secondaries honestly. but sometimes you may prefer to gather them yourself I suppose.

crimson is generally known as the most efficient to use but gold are the most common. blue charms gives a lot of xp but they are really rare so eh. its best to use crimson. the green im not really sure about actually.

runescape wikia has a nice list of what you should make at each level, all you have to do is find the secondaries and charms: runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Summoning_training a good obelisk is piscatoris if you have done swan song. if not just look at the locations and figure out which one you think is best.

So I thought it would be appropriate that since I recently attained 99 Range I could possibly be an advisor and help those who wish to better understand this aspect of the combat triangle whether with training tips or equipment advice. Where do i apply?
