Magranon Channeling

[yetian 86]

I have a mag priest at 38 channeling and was wondering how best to work it now.

I have a Smith main and plan to start working locksmithing on him to make locks for my priest.

I am just unsure what to cast for working channeling now, light token seems to be go in less than before.

Was asked about a FA cast but not sure I have enough channeling to cast it yet.

Vessel is a method I have heard to work channeling but I have little to no gems. Working prayer, it's also 38 at the moment.

you can probably still use light token to get to 50 or so if you don't have many gems, but after that i would really recommend vessel. its the best way to get channeling up after 40-50

[yetian 86]

Thanks. :-) I have heard that gems from praying become more common after 40 prayer.

Soul depth is about 26, lots of mining.

You guys on Freedom that can get channeling from vessel!! lol

 

The Epic way:

 

Pen a Lava Fiend. Try and dominate it.

[yetian 86]

Lol that's a good idea. I guess you have to take hits while you do it?

[Heboric 808]

Yes - good no enchant armor - no weapon - defensive mode. Lot's of cotton

[PsMaster 181]

At this level - flaming aura, aura of shared pain (5 min cooldown) or as Heboric mentioned, dominate a lava fiend. Just pop in defensive, get a shield on and do it. The more you fail the more channeling you get.

I vesseled a ton of gems (to keep favor topped up during the grind) and used sleep bonus with Dominate to get from 27-55 in a short time. Tons of shield and fighting subskills as well.

Thanks for the info. Time to bin my templar and make a lava fiend pen. :-)

Have a gated mine off deed I can use. Also ordered a 70ql large shield. Worth getting some plate?

Mining is 1000000000000x more effective and you get body stats/mining skil

I am at 58 mining at the moment. It works well for Soul strength as well. Very rarely get any gems though.

[Stonesolid 160]

Prayer is useless. Gems become more common the higher your faith is over 70. I have a Vyn priest with very high prayer skill (70+) and I don't see a noticeable difference in gems or quality of gems compared to my Mag priest with like 30 prayer. And yes it's worth using plate.

I used an alt to heal me while dominating the fiend so I didn't have much down time while grinding the channeling, its fantastic skill for all the bonus extras such as shield/defensive ect as mentioned, I would start any new priest as mag and grind this way then swap after to the desired deity just because the channeling grind is so easy with mag, it got a little painful once the channeling became higher due to the overheating from successful casts but it is far far better than anything else when you consider the 2 favor cost for a fail and you can just spam it over and over using gems or an altar to sac locks right next to the pen.

Disagree here, debit out does Darkmalice and Zarame with 3.0 second mining timers by praying for gems. He's at 62 prayer. I get a gem every few minutes 2-6 in most cases.

However, mining does give important stats, and of course items you may need.
