The Mage Training Arena is a Magic minigame located to the north of the Emir's Arena. Using various spells, players earn pizazz points in different minigames which they can use to buy items in a shop on the top floor of the arena.

To participate in all the activities, one should bring nature runes, cosmic runes, law runes, and all types of elemental runes (or staves to replace them). The spells cast are Telekinetic Grab, high and low level alchemy, as many of the enchant jewellery spells (Lvl-1 Enchant, Lvl-2 Enchant, Lvl-3 Enchant, Lvl-4 Enchant, Lvl-5 Enchant, Lvl-6 Enchant, Lvl-7 Enchant) as the player has access to, and the Bones To Bananas and Bones To Peaches spells.

History

After the discovery of runes by humans, many accidents occurred as inexperienced mages attempted difficult spells. The wizards of the original Wizards' Tower created the arena and the various guardians so that mages could train with the more mundane spells. Unfortunately, it was destroyed by warriors and rangers that were angered by the new art of Magic during the Runecrafting Crusades. Recently, the current denizens of the Wizards' Tower have recreated the Arena and Guardians and have also developed charmed warriors to defend the arena against further attacks.

Requirements

Players need a minimum of level 7 Magic to participate in this minigame, although that will allow the use of only a single spell. At level 33 Magic (required for Telekinetic Grab), a player can participate in all 4 activities. Level 93 (Lvl-7 Enchant) will allow players to use all spells in all areas of the minigame. The higher the level of Magic, the more experience points the player will receive.

Clue scrolls and caskets are not allowed inside the rooms. Coins cannot be brought into the Alchemists' Playground, while bananas and peaches cannot be brought into the Creature Graveyard.

Getting there

The Mage Training Arena is located north of the Emir's Arena and north-east of Al Kharid. Players can get there by using:

• The grouping teleport to the Mage Training Arena.
• A ring of dueling teleport to the Al Kharid PvP Arena and running north.
• A ring of the elements teleport to the Fire Altar and running north-east.

Rooms

The Mage Training Arena lobby, containing portals to the four training rooms.

The Mage Training Arena offers four rooms for the player to practice casting Alchemy, Enchantment, and Telekinetic spells. In addition to pizazz points, the player earns coins and runes in the activities. Players must acquire the appropriate number of pizazz points in each of the four rooms to buy items from the Rewards Guardian.

The teleports to the four rooms are located in the north area of the arena:

• Telekinetic Theatre - south
• Creature Graveyard - east
• Enchanting Chamber - west
• Alchemists' Playground - north

Telekinetic Theatre

Main article: /Telekinetic Theatre

In this room, players must use Telekinetic Grab to move a stationary maze guardian through a maze.

Players will receive 2 Telekinetic Pizazz points and 250 Magic experience for each maze they complete. After solving five mazes in a row, players will receive a bonus of 8 Telekinetic Pizazz points, 10 law runes and 1,000 Magic experience, and have their run energy replenished. Players can complete around 80 mazes per hour with few mistakes, giving around 288 points per hour. Players can expect to earn a casual rate of approximately 60,000 xp/hr in the Telekinetic Theatre.

Creature Graveyard

Main article: /Creature Graveyard

In this room, players must collect and convert bones into fruit using Bones to Bananas or unlockable Bones to Peaches spells. There are 4 different types of bones that can be collected from the bone piles. Each bone pile will cycle through each type of bone in order from 1 to 4, giving 4 of each type of bone before advancing to the next type. Each bone will convert to different quantity of fruit depending on the tier. The fruits must then be deposited in the slots along the walls of the room to gain pizazz points. Players can take damage from the falling bones in the room.

Players will earn 1 Graveyard Pizazz point and a bonus of one or two water, earth, nature, death, or blood runes for every 16 fruits deposited. Each banana deposited will reward 5 Magic experience, whilst each peach will reward 10 Magic experience. Each peach also counts as 2 fruits deposited into the chute. Players can expect to earn a casual rate of approximately 100,000 xp/hr while using Bones to Peaches in the Creature Graveyard.

Dying in this room results in the loss of 10 Graveyard Pizazz points.

Enchanting Chamber

Main article: /Enchanting Chamber

In this room, players must use enchanting spells to enchant various shapes located in the 4 corners of the room, granting pizazz points and transforming the shapes into orbs. Players can also occasionally pick up Dragonstones from the chamber floor or from searching the piles for double points.

Players will receive 1 Enchantment Pizazz point per level of Enchantment spell cast (e.g.: Level 7 Enchant gives 7 points), with points doubled if cast on a Dragonstone. Additionally, each orb can be deposited in the chute in the middle of the room to earn extra rewards, with every 20 orbs deposited granting a reward of 3 blood, death, or cosmic runes, and some Magic experience. Players can expect to earn a casual rate of approximately 130,000 xp/hr in the Enchanting Chamber.

Alchemist's Playground

Main article: /Alchemist's Playground

In this room, players must use High Level Alchemy or Low Level Alchemy to convert items to coins. The items can be found inside one of the 6 cupboards in the room. The amount of coins and the locations of the items changes once per minute.

Players will receive 1 Alchemist Pizazz point and 10 coins deposited into their bank account for every 100 coins deposited in the coin deposit box, with a chance of receiving a bonus point for in between thresholds. For every coin deposited in the minigame, players will receive 2 Magic experience. Players can expect to earn a casual rate of approximately 120,000 xp/hr in the Alchemist's Playground after depositing minigame coins.

UIM Note: Coins, Clue Scrolls and Clue Caskets cannot be brought into the Alchemist's Playground.

Rewards

Main article: Pizazz points

A player in the upper level of the Arena, containing the rewards shop.

The Mage Training Arena Shop interface.

A player can buy runes, infinity robes, wands, the mage's book, and the Bones to Peaches spell in the shop upstairs with the pizazz points they've earned. If a player is having trouble with the arena, an arena book may also be bought for 200 coins.

Note that the prices listed for the wands (apprentice wand, teacher wand, and master wand) are all upgrades, meaning the player must both spend the points and exchange the wand one tier below it (e.g. to purchase a master wand, the player must turn in a teacher wand in addition to spending the pizazz points). This effectively gives the master wand the price of 480 Telekinetic, 480 Graveyard, 4800 Enchantment, and 530 Alchemist pizazz points.

To obtain enough points to purchase everything in the rewards shop at least once you can expect to burn an estimated 4682 Law runes (including rewarded runes), 13000 Nature runes, and between 2000-6000 Cosmic runes depending on the level of enchantment spell used. These estimates assume the following:

• The most efficient methods to gain points are used (most points per cast, not fastest)
• Staves are used to cover all elemental rune cost
• No free casts are used in Alchemist Playground as these are highly random
• You are earning 1 graveyard point per cast of bones to bananas

This will cost you an estimated 2,197,614 to 2,621,614 coins in runes. For a full overview, see the Pizazz points page.

The approximate time for completion of each item is as follows -- Give or take ~1 hour for enchantment room, depending on the spell being used.

Trivia

• Before the update on 28 June 2018, the Enchantment Chamber would only give 1 point for enchanting shapes, regardless of the level of the enchantment spell used, with 1 bonus point for enchanting the bonus shape. This meant that the fastest strategy was to hop worlds and collect and enchant only the dragonstones. This was changed because it was very far from what was intended for the activity and because it was easily taken advantage of by bots.
