The Mage Arena is a members-only combat area located deep in the Wilderness. Inside the arena are battle mages affiliated with the gods, which must be fought to unlock the god spells.

A map of the bank and the connected area.

The arena is involved in the miniquest Mage Arena I.

Miniquest

Before the player can cast god spells or access the Mage Arena, players must complete the Mage Arena I miniquest. The Mage Arena bank and rune shop can still be used without completion of the miniquest.

Getting there

• Use the Ardougne Wilderness teleport lever with a knife or slash weapon, slash through the web to the north. Walk west to the arena
• The Edgeville Wilderness teleport lever can also be used.

There are 2 levers at the Mage Arena.

• The western lever inside the house behind 2 spiderwebs takes players to the Mage Arena bank
• The eastern lever behind a spiderweb next to the arena wall takes players inside of the Mage Arena

Charging spells

Players who wish to use the three god spells outside of the Mage Arena must charge them first by casting them 100 times on the battle mages inside the arena's inner ring. The spell does not have to deal damage to count toward the 100 required casts. Once you have charged a spell, you will receive a message saying you are now able to cast the spell outside the arena.

The aggressiveness of the battle mages depends on the god cape worn by the player; mages are not aggressive to players wearing their God's cape. Protect from Magic is recommended for fighting battle mages, as the spells they attack with can hit up to 20.

Player killing

The nearby Mage Arena bank is one of only two banks in the entire Wilderness (the other being in the Ferox Enclave), and one of the few areas in the Wilderness where players cannot attack other players. As such, the entrance to the bank (located right next to the entrance to the arena) is a player killing hotspot.

Player killers often use the Tele Block spell here to prevent players from pulling the lever and escaping to the Mage Bank.

Inside the arena, player killers can attack players who are fighting Kolodion during the events of Mage Arena I miniquest. In addition, some player killers may even dress themselves as the Saradomin battle mage in the arena, usually in an attempt to ambush players. Be careful not to attack the disguised player, as you will become skulled.

As the inside of the Mage Arena is still considered part of the Wilderness, and located at Level 52 Wilderness, teleports will not work inside the arena.
