Spiritual Mage (Armadyl)

Location

• Godwars Dungeon, Armadyl's Eyrie

Armadyl Spiritual Mages fly and so you are only able to kill them using a ranged attack. They are not killed much, mostly just by people getting their kill count to take on Kree'Arra.

If you are training range and decide to kill some spiritual mages, Armadyl Mages are a good choice. They are almost always available to kill and have fairly low hitpoints. You will need to use protect from magic against them as they can hit fairly hard and are very accurate (even full Armadyl has trouble protecting you against them). There is a fairly decent spot to kill them along the west wall of Armadyl's Eyrie, there are two mages around this area and provided you are on a fairly busy server (around 1500-2000 players) the respawn rate should be fast enough for you to kill them without having to wait very long in between respawns. Try to use fast range weapons such as knives and darts as these seem to kill spiritual mages faster.

Other notes

• Spirital mages ARE NOT considered undead, so salve amulet does not work against them.
• Wearing an Armadyl item will make all followers of Armadyl in the Godwars dungeon become unaggressive (excluding the general and his sergeants). There are many items you can use for this, try to pick ones which won't affect your combat bonuses too much.

Equipment notes

• Full ranger void (10% bonus helps a lot, spirit mages have low defence so power is better than accuracy on them, Other range armour would be good too with a mix of prayer boosting equipment if you don't have void)
• Knifes or Darts (Iron are just an example, any type can be used depending on how much you're willing to spend on them, you will still profit from most lower level knifes/darts)
• Ranger boots (snakeskin would be fine as a replacement if you don't have ranger boots)
• Armadyl Pendant (Obtainable from The Temple of Ikov quest, stops Armadyls followers from being aggresive)
• Unholy book (good prayer bonus and a small range attack bonus, other prayer books are ok but this one is the best)
• Prayer potions (you will need to use protect from magic so stock up on as many as you can to stay longer)
• Range potions (it would be an advantage to take a few range pots with you to speed up your kills and maximize the kills you get per prayer pot)
• Unholy wrench (not required but saves a little bit of money since you'll be consuming a lot of prayer pots, obtainable from Rum Deal quest)
• Crossbow & grapple (needed to enter Armadyl's Eyrie, crossbow bolts can be used instead to kill the mages although not as good and generally more expensive)
• Teletab & trollheim teleport runes (quick access to trollheim and also a quick escape method, any tab would work fine as long as it gets you out of danger)
