Splashing in OSRS provides a reliable way to train Magic with minimal effort. This method involves intentionally missing spell attacks while still gaining experience.
I'll explain exactly how to splash effectively and what you need to get started.
To begin splashing, you need to achieve a Magic attack bonus of -64 or lower. This guarantees your spells will consistently miss the target.
The easiest setup involves wearing plate armor with dragonhide vambraces or using a cursed goblin staff with plate armor.
The best targets for splashing are NPCs that other players cannot interact with, such as rats or NPCs that can be pickpocketed. Once you've found a suitable target, simply activate auto-cast for your chosen combat spell and turn on Auto Retaliate.
Before starting your splashing session, make sure to stock up on enough runes - you can buy OSRS gold to make sure you have sufficient supplies for extended training periods.
The current splashing mechanics require player interaction every 20 minutes to prevent logging out. Set a timer for 15 minutes to ensure you don't get disconnected. While this means splashing isn't completely AFK like it was before September 2015, it remains one of the most relaxed training methods in the game.
Each spell cast provides consistent base experience, regardless of whether it hits the target.
Fire Strike offers a good balance of cost-effectiveness and experience gain for most players. Higher-level spells provide more experience but come with increased rune costs.
Remember that while splashing won't deal any damage to your target, you'll still gain the full casting experience. This makes it an excellent choice for steady Magic progression while doing other activities that require minimal attention.
By following these guidelines, you can efficiently train your Magic level through splashing while maintaining a comfortable balance between activity and effectiveness.
