2. 3rd Age Mage Hat
The 3rd Age Mage Hat has the highest magical attack bonus of any magic hat of +8, tied with the Ancestral Hat. However, unlike the Ancestral Hat, it does not offer any magic damage boost. Therefore, making it the second best magic helm in OSRS. It requires a minimum of level 65 magic and 30 defence to equip.
How to get a 3rd Age Mage Hat?
The 3rd Age Mage Hat is a extremely rare reward from Treasure Trails. It can be obtained by completing hard, elite and master clue scrolls. Because of its rarity, it holds a consistently expensive price when buying on the Grand Exchange or from another player.

3. Ahrim’s Hood
The Ahrim’s Hood is one of the best budget magic helms in OSRS. It requires a minimum of level 70 magic and defence to equip. While offering a +6 magical attack bonus to the user.
However, it is worth noting this item is degradable, therefore it will cost you money to use the item across long periods of time. Although, the repair cost is also relatively inexpensive.
How to get the Ahrim’s Hood?
The Ahrim’s Hood can be obtained as a rare reward from the Barrows Minigame. Players must have killed Ahrim’s the Blighted during the minigame, to be eligible to receive any of the Ahrim’s pieces when looting the chest.

4. Infinity Hat
The Infinity hat is a strong magic hat for lower levels. As it requires only 50 magic and 25 defence to equip. It offers a +6 magical attack bonus similar to the Ahrim’s Hood and does not degrade.
How to get the Infinity Hat?
The Infinity Hat is obtained from the Mage Training Arena minigame. Players will need the following points to purchase the hat:
- 350 Telekinetic Pizazz points
- 400 Alchemist Pizazz points
- 3000 Enchantment Pizazz points
- 350 Graveyard Pizazz points

5. Farseer Helm
The Farseer Helm is another magical helm that gives a +6 magic attack bonus. However, it only requires level 45 defence to equip and has no magic level requirement. The helm is very affordable, although, it gives negative attack bonuses in range and melee. Making it bad for hybrid situations, where you won’t only be using magic-based attacks.
How to get a Farseer Helm?
The Farseer Helm can be obtained by killing Dagannoths or the Dagannoth Kings. It can also be obtained via the Barbarian Assault minigame.
