Level 10-17: Casting Strike Spells

Alternative Monsters to Kill for Magic XP 

Ankou in Stronghold of Security

Ankou is a popular monster that players kill for combat training. They give good magic XP rates and can be safespotted behind the skeleton remains in the southwest room of the Sepulchre of Death floor. The best spell to use is Crumble Undead.
