Mageps guide

This guide is to help you out from the beginning of your journey. ***(ironman \ elite ironman friendly)***

Starting out when you create your account you will have to choose between these game modes:

normal - you will have no restrictions on this account type. Your stats will grow by 1 permanently every 30 kills.

ironman - you will not be able to trade, gamble, or use player owned stores on this account type. Your stats will grow by 1 permanently every 25 kills.

group ironman - you will be able to trade freely between 3 other members of your group and you will have a shared storage between your members as well. To get started climb down the ladder next to "ein the dog" at home. Your stats will grow by 1 permanently every 25 kills.

elite ironman - have the same restrictions as regular ironman but will start with 150% droprate. your stats with grow by 1 permanently every 18 kills.

seasonal - no information yet.

Once you gave created your account start by doing what the tutorial guide tells you to do. It's pretty straightforward.

Mine 5 dragon ore then smelt the ore into bars. It will then ask you to make 2 axes and use them on one another. The next task is to chop 6 elder logs and make 2 bird snares by using the logs on one another. lastly use your knife on the logs the get 10 shafts and move on to the next island.

On the second island start by thieving the 'north vine chest' 3 times next he is going to ask you to catch crows for a hunter tutorial. Hunter is different on here the best way to catch stuff is to 'poke' the creature then immediately lay down you trap. This will give the highest catch rate for the creatures.

On to the last island!! First catch 3 octopuses' then he's going to tell you to use your logs on the purple fire. Next use your raw octopus on the purple fire. You will then be given mage gear to kill 1 knuckles in the north room.

Once you do that congratulation you have completed the tutorial!!!!

**Starting out**

The game is then going to teleport you home. I recommend you start with doing some of the early game zones.

Before we hop right on into zones you're going to want to get 43 prayer and prayer potions and i will explain how to get both. To get the bones type ::celestial and kill 1 dragon for a bone. Then go home and use it on the alter for 51 prayer. Next type ::shops and go south to the supply shop. You will need a little bit of gold to buy these prayer potions so right click the green 1b token in your inventory and add them to your coin pouch underneath your exp tracker next to your minimap. Then you will right click the pouch and "withdraw money pouch" grab 100m and buy the prayer potions.

Now let's get into the zones. You can do so by clicking the big orange "M" icon beside your inventory icon and this is going to give you 4 big icons being slayer master teleport, achievements, donator zones, and finally zones teleports.

Click the zones teleports and it will bring up a big list of zones. We are going to be wanting to do the "starter zone" . Prayer melee and start killing hellfire knights for the zone completion, every 25 hellfire knight kills you can get 2 pieces of hellfire gear which is very very good melee gear for a long while. You can spend 25 knight tokens at the hellfire puppy shop in the middle of the zone. Once you get the first 25 kills done you will be able to claim a **'lucky heaven stone' . Its uses are listed below**. Once you complete 75 kills you can claim a starter trophy which can be equipped for str bonus. Lastly when you get 150 kills you will be able to claim the light lance which as stated below you can upgrade to the better version. Next i would teleport to ::gkey and kill the mages for golden keys and put the m in you first inventory slot. Open them 25 at a time and the loot will go to your bank. Stop once you have obtained a ring, shield, and amulet. This will give you decent str bonus with the hellfire gear and lance you upgraded for our next step.

1. *use it on a light lance to create a hellfire lance*
2. *use it on a flaming katana to create a gem katana*
3. *use it on the extremely flaming katana to create a omega katana*
4. *use it on a Rasta teddy bear to make the upgraded version which will give some of the best str bonus in the game*
5. *using it on a lucky teddy bear to make the upgraded version which gives the best off-hand drop rate in the game*
6. *use it on the drop catcher to get the second version of the drop catcher.*
7. *use it on the second version of the drop catcher to get the 'upgraded drop catcher' this has a lot of option to can go thru by right clicking the item and operating it. I personally use the "bank rare and normal drops" option.*

To obtain more luck heaven stones click the skills tab beside your combat icon and click the slayer icon and this will teleport you to the boss point store. He will sell lucky ore and heaven store for 100 points each. **Use the lucky ore on the heaven stone to transform it**.

**Combat Styles: Mage, Melee, and Range**

Not everyone wants to just use melee so I am going to give 2 routes for early-mid game gear options for mage and range. The guide I gave above is the start to early game melee which will be needed to help get mage or ranged gear if wanted. The two options i am giving are ::evil for mage gear and ::good for ranged gear. In my opinion ::evil is the best option because getting full evil set with the staff unlocks a 2 aoe which helps a lot with zones/slayer grinding. To unlock these zones with will only need to 1/3rd of the tri zone at ::tri. Good is just not very good it is a mid tier single target ranged set.

**Slayer**

Our next step on the zone grind is thru slayer. Specifically easy slayer for the time being and its going to take some time for the goal at hand. The goal is to get a drop catcher. There are a few ways to get one.

1. Easy slayer keys have a chance to give it and we would upgrade it with lucky heaven stones.
2. Goku has a chance to drop one. Goku is a world boss that spawns get to him by typing ::goku.
3. the easiest way to get the best form is to buy it with 5k donator points from the donor store at ::home
4. the hardest way to get one is getting 25,000 killcount. this will automatically give a decent amulet and the drop catcher.
5. simply buy it from players 60-100t in normally the price

Now slayer is my personal favorite thing in the game because it has so many perks to building your account up from early game to end game. Slayer allows you to skip zone requirements on the easy zones, medium, and a few hards i believe. It also has a very good benefit of increasing your damage cap. Info on that listed below.

* ***Easy task*** dmg cap increase per kill **1**
* ***Medium task*** dmg cap increase per kill **3**
* ***Hard task*** dmg cap increase per kill **5**
* ***Elite task*** dmg cap increase per kill **12**

When you complete a slayer task you will receive slayer points:

* ***Easy task*** 25 points
* ***Medium task*** 50 points
* ***Hard task*** 75 points
* ***Elite task*** 100 points

The best way to spend them to progress your account is to save 500 points and spend them in one of the slayer master shops on the elite slayer key and teleport via trainer nacklepen to the elite master or run far northeast up thru the jagged path and use the key on the elite chest. This gives a good chance to land some good melee, mage, or ranged gear.

After you receive the drop catcher from one of the various ways i have suggested above. The next thing if to earn some cash for **ASTRALS!!!!** There is a astral guide in ::guides or ::wiki astrals. I will give a lil explanation here tho. Astrals are hands down the fastest way to get higher dps in Mage, ranged, melee. What you will do is click the yellow triangle underneath your run icon on the minimap, click 'astral all' and pick a green or blue astral it doesn't matter, drag that to your first inventory slot, and finally once they all fill up click the 'combine all' and type 1 and press enter. This will put all the useless astrals into the 1 in your first inv slot and level it up. Like i said above there is very in dept guides on astrals with ::guides and ::wiki astrals

**Money Making**

Now mage has many ways to earn cash being slayer, Grinding items, or skilling. We will begin this route with clicking the thieving icon in the skills tab. There are 4 thieving chest in this jungle that you teleported to marked on the mini map with a red explanation mark. By clicking them you will be given cash and a chance for green seeds, purple seeds, and other skilling stuff. The seeds sell for a good price on the exchange. The other skilling stuff also sells on the exchange post but for lower prices.

Slayer and Grinding items is a good money maker also. Thieving is so tedious for me personally so this is my favorite way to make cash as an ironman. I do slayer alot which gives keys depending on the master you do. The monsters you kill with give you drops which is why i stated the drop catcher will be your best friend. Now if you get an item from a monster or slayer key that you do not need or want you can sell it on the exchange post (not irons) or grind said item for a 1b tokens which is what fuels astrals for dps.
