The 3rd age wand is a one-handed magic weapon requiring 65 Magic to wield, attacking on the standard 4-tick (2.4s) staff timer. It gives +20 Magic attack and +20 Magic defence — identical to the master wand — tying it for the second-highest Magic attack of any wand, behind only the Kodai wand. It autocasts only the Standard spellbook, not Ancient Magicks or Arceuus. A rare drop from elite and master Treasure Trails, see the live Grand Exchange price & history chart above for its current value, prized mainly as a cosmetic piece of the 3rd age mage set.
Equipment bonuses
The 3rd age wand's defining numbers are +20 Magic attack and +20 Magic defence, with no strength, ranged, or damage bonus of its own. It swings on the standard 4-tick (2.4-second) staff timer and needs 65 Magic to wield — five levels higher than the master wand it matches stat-for-stat.
Attack bonuses
Defence bonuses
Other bonuses
Those +20/+20 Magic bonuses tie it with the master wand for the second-highest Magic attack of any wand, behind only the Kodai wand's +28, though its value comes almost entirely from its rarity rather than raw output.
Grand Exchange price history
How to get the 3rd age wand
The 3rd age wand cannot be bought from a shop or made — it is a rare reward from high-tier Treasure Trails:
- Elite clue scroll reward caskets — roughly 1/249,262 per casket opened.
- Master clue scroll reward caskets — roughly 1/313,168 per casket opened.
Because it's fully tradeable, most players simply buy one on the Grand Exchange instead of grinding for the drop. Check the current asking price on our OSRS GE price tracker. It can also be stored in the costume room's treasure chest once obtained.
Is the 3rd age wand worth it?
Combat-wise, no — the 3rd age wand is a straight sidegrade to the far cheaper master wand, which has the same +20 Magic attack and +20 Magic defence but weighs less and, unlike the 3rd age wand, can autocast both Ancient Magicks and Arceuus combat spells. If you're after raw Magic-attack performance, the Kodai wand outclasses both with +28 Magic attack and +15% Magic damage.
What the 3rd age wand actually sells for is prestige: it's one of the rarest clue rewards in the game and the weapon piece of the collectible 3rd age mage set. Players buy it to complete or display the set, not to fight with it. If you want a genuine Magic-attack upgrade for your magic gear setup, look elsewhere; use our boss gear finder to compare real loadout options first.
