(Updated and cleaned up guide. If something is missing or broken please update it as I'm not 100% sure on Magic leveling. Alternatively, contact me on Discord and I will fix it.)

The comparison of {{Icon|Combat}} and {{Icon|Alternative Magic|type=skill|Alt. Magic}} can be found in the following spreadsheet: ([https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11wEZc6q7EkeWyaRVg5vIBFo50hDKx_4uq3PgIXztSgk/edit?usp=sharing link]).

The {{Icon|Combat|nolink=true}} method starts to be better than {{Icon|Alternative Magic|type=skill|Alt. Magic|nolink=true}} in terms of XP gain almost right from the start. However, in order to maintain that edge over the {{Icon|Alternative Magic|type=skill|Alt. Magic|nolink=true}} method, you need to check the game more often.

For{{Icon|Alternative Magic|type=skill|Alt. Magic|nolink=true}}, you need to prepare a disposable item, such as {{ItemIcon|Cheese}} from the [[Shop]], then craft a {{ItemIcon|Staff of Air}} and some {{ItemIcon|Nature Rune|Nature Runes}}. After that, you can leave the {{Icon|Just Learning|type=spell}} spell to idle. The same steps apply to most other {{Icon|Alternative Magic|type=skill|Alt. Magic|nolink=true}} skills - you come back, prepare a disposable item and runes for the next idle session, and idle.

For {{Icon|Combat|nolink=true}}, you need to change your gear regularly in order to have an advantage over the {{Icon|Alternative Magic|type=skill|Alt. Magic|nolink=true}} option. Depending in your involvement, you can go through the whole spectrum of Wizard Robes because each of them has slightly higher Magic requirement than the previous one. In addition to that, you need to prepare food and to come back before it runs out.

After {{SkillReq|Magic|14}}, the {{Icon|Combat|nolink=true}} method starts to have an advantage. If you have food, runes, and you are okay with checking the game every so often, then you can switch to {{Icon|Combat|nolink=true}} straight after {{SkillReq|Magic|14}}.

For the approach with less involvement, {{Icon|Alternative Magic|type=skill|Alt. Magic|nolink=true}} is a way to go - use the highest spell you can and stop on {{Icon|Blessed Offering|type=spell}} to accumulate {{Skill|Prayer}} points. You will need at least 250,000 if you are just starting, so you can sit on this spell even until {{SkillReq|Magic|78}} when you unlock the {{ItemIcon|Fire Expert Wizard Robes|Fire Expert}} gear to prevent any further armor swaps.
