Wind Wave is an air-based wave spell in the standard spellbook, requiring level 62 Magic to cast. As an offensive combat spell it can only be cast on attackable NPCs, or other players in a PvP situation.

It is the second-strongest wind spell in the game, with the strongest being Wind Surge. It is also the most cost-effective wave spell to cast.

Damage

[edit | edit source]

Wind Wave's base maximum hit starts at 17 and increases as the player unlocks additional wave spells, up to 20 at level 75 Magic.

Magic Magic level Highest-level wave spell available Wind Wave base maximum hit
Magic 62 - 64 Wind Wave 17
Magic 65 - 69 Water Wave 18
Magic 70 - 74 Earth Wave 19
Magic 75 + Fire Wave 20

As with all combat spells, Wind Wave's maximum hit is also increased based on the player's magic damage bonus.

As an air-based spell, Wind Wave's maximum hit is also increased against targets that are weak to air.
