Humidifying Guild

Humidify is a largely underrated spell that many people overlook. It can not only be great experience, but give you money as well. 1.) Beginners information: Humidify is a level 68 lunar spell that requires Lunar Diplomacy as well as Dream Mentor. The spell fills almost all things in your inventory that can hold water, excluding some quest items. Humidify fills all of your vessels in only a couple of seconds. This spell can be exploited in many forms, in ways of even faster experience per hour than alching, or making over 300k an hour, plus a bonus 40k experience! This makes it a very diverse spell that can be used by the rich and poor alike. In your equipment for whatever method you chose, you want a steam staff (Not only saves money on both runes, but also gives extra 25 gp per cast because of the extra vial). The 1 million or so gold will save you over 6 million gold if you go for 99 magic, and you can always sell it after you are done. You may also want the seal of passage so it is easy to swap spell books and the ring of dueling (if you are using the slow method). 2a.) Slow, moneymaking method: There are 2 different ways to train magic using humidify. This section focuses on the slower method which will make you more money in the long run. Start out buying a steam staff, about 2000-3000 astrals, and the rest of your money into vials. Put an offer for 10,000 vials at the medium price, so you can get started while you wait for all of the rest to buy at the minimum price. This way, you are never left waiting. A common misconception is that humidifying is slow and expensive, and I have read several guides on the Runescape forums suggesting humidify takes up to 8 seconds per cast. I can and have proved this wrong! After 100 casts of humidify, I averaged 5.46 seconds a cast. Keep in mind this is after a good amount of practice, and the rate will take a while to keep consistent. I can cast the spell in this way 659 times in one hour, resulting in 42,835 xp and 329,500 gp. Now, this may not seem like a lot of money, but in my goal toward 99, this will result in a profit of over 75 million gold! The trick here is to humidify, and right when the vials are filled (This takes a couple seconds. You will eventually be able to recognize the right time without changing to your inventory) you deposit them in the bank and withdraw a new set. I buy my vials at 60 each and sell at 85 each (changes a lot, but buy at the minimum when prices are low, sell filled a maximum when prices are high (if you can)), with 27 vials, and I pay 175 gold per astral. After all of this, I make a 500 gold profit per cast. This works out to be 7.7 gold/experience which adds up very fast when you are using this spell in bulk. After you humidify these first 10,000 vials and put them in the grand exchange for max price, then check on your offer of buying the vials and you “should” have at least a good chunk of vials bought. Continue this process until you have reached your goal.

I suggest humidifying in castle wars if you are using this method because it has a 1-click bank and is easy to access with a dueling ring while your spell book is on lunar. I recommend this method if you are trying to make some money and would like to have a higher magic level, and I will later give an analysis on this method vs. the fast, expensive method. 2b.) Maximize efficiency- slow method: Here are some tips on becoming more efficient in humidifying slow method1st- Keep your mouse clean. I cannot stress this enough. It took me an average of 6.5 seconds for every time I used the spell, and was reduced to over a second less after being cleaned. This reduced the time to 99 by a whopping 42 hours, just by something you wouldn't think mattered. In the long run, this also prevents a lot of frustration. 2nd- Master your timing. This takes some practice, but you should be able to cast the spell again every other cast without the animation of your hands going in the air. This means you are going the fastest you can, so this is a very good thing. It generally fills when the clouds start to turn a lighter gray, and banking will become second nature after a few thousand casts. 3rd- Don't be afraid to spend money on vials. Generally, buy them at 73 each, they do buy pretty quickly even if this is at the minimum. It will save you time and money of going back to the grand exchange often. 3a.) Fast, expensive method: This method entails spending more money to get faster experience, and gives even faster experience than alching! However, the cost adds up pretty quickly. After my tests of 50, I got an average of 2.88 seconds per cast. This makes 1,250 spells per hour. The runes cost 175 each, and you don't get any of the money back, as you aren't keeping the vials. This costs 218,750 gp an hour, and gives 81,250 experience. The spell costs 2.7 gold per xp, which is a medium rate. I will go into the efficiency of this later in the guide. If you have the level, you can also use the spell magic imbue on top of this. This spell adds no extra time and gives an extra 86 xp that you can cast every 4 humidifies. This adds on an extra 26,875 xp per hour, giving a grand total of 108,125 xp per hour. This also adds some extra cost. This spell takes 2 astrals, which is another 350 gp. Since you can use it once per 4 casts, this means it costs 87.5 gp more than normal fast humidifying. Add this on makes another 109,375 gp per hour. This adds to a grand total of 328,125 gp, changing this to 4 gp per xp, however it is also faster. The spell is your choice. In your inventory, you 1st want your astral runes, then 3 items as placeholders, then a fishbowl. The placeholders are to keep the place so your fishbowl stays in that position, so you don't have to move the mouse between humidify and emptying the fishbowl. To use this method quickly, first start at the spell screen. Cast the humidify vial and click f-4

on the keyboard to change to your inventory. Click on the fishbowl to empty, and press f-7 to go back to the magic screen. You want to click the fishbowl as soon as it fills, and quickly hit f-7, click, and f-4. It is very easy to do after a while as it becomes habit. 3b.) Maximize efficiency- Fast method: Here are some tips on becoming more efficient in humidifying fast method1st- Take breaks. This method can be strenuous after a little while, and it is a good idea to give your hands some rest. 2nd- Try to work quickly. You can save a lot of time with only a fraction of a second reduced per cast. This will save literally hours on the way to 99. 3rd- Find a fun area to cast this in. Unlike the slow method, you are not limited to standing next to a bank, as you can just empty the fishbowl after each cast. You are free to watch castle wars or duels, and if you instead decide to use buckets to raise it, you are able to go in a game of castle wars and get free tickets! By watching or doing something else at the same time on Runescape, you will be able to stay fresh longer, and humidify faster than sitting at a bank doing nothing. 3.)
