Combat
Ancients is the way to go if you're looking for PvE combat. I'd suggest PC - yeah, yeah... Get your boos and hisses over with *Waits while being drowned out by a negative studio audience*
...
Okay, now... (HISS!) Ugh... Done yet? Alright. I'd suggest either by going burst/barrage in Pest Control. There's always nice hordes of monsters that are itching to die at the hands of an effective AoE (Area of Effect) mage. One cast = tons of damage = lots of XP. The key, however, is patience! Though it's tempting to go in, staff blazing, it's hard to get quality XP by hitting only one monster. Wait for a group of 3 or so and trust me, you'll get your minimum damage in a few casts.
When you're against single mobs or PvP combat, might I recommend God spells? Either one will do, but to get the most out of it, get your magic up to Charge, which will enable you to hit up to 30 damage a shot. When it comes to combat magic, the more damage, the more XP you get.
For out and out efficiency and for "Mage Grinding", might I suggest the various classic Earth spells? For their cost, it's the best damage and XP in comparison to Fire spells, as Earth spells uses less air runes than Fire spells and the damage difference is almost negligible.
A Very Biased View On The Use Of Nature Runes
Alchemy is the art of turning junk into gold. So why are people buying junk to turn into gold at a loss? Come to think of it, it's not really that great a spell to be burning nature runes into, unless you don't care about losing money in the process. Thanks to the new animation, it's not even that quick anymore. Oh well, to each his own, but I, in my very biased opinion, have a better way to use Nature Runes.
Mid-High Level Mage/Mining Superheat!
This will end up netting you a lot of XP and coin at the same time. If you can mine and smelt mithril, you can earn mining, smithing, and mage experience by Superheat Mining (A guide's around here somewhere - dated, but still good, believe it or not). With this, you'll end up having access to an unlimited amount of nature runes for your leveling needs.
Well, uh, that's about it if you're looking for mage XP. I think my own methods are outdated, so I'll probably be researching to see if what I'm doing's even close to decent.
Well, here's me throwing in my two cents!
