Ice Burst: a freeze spell at 70 Magic that hits a pile. Ice Barrage: the same spell at 94, harder. Dust devil: a Slayer monster you can freeze.

Unlock

Desert Treasure unlocks the Ancient spellbook. Ice Burst wants 70 Magic. Ice Barrage wants 94. The runes are the cost.

The route

• Early

  Method

  Use quest rewards, wind or water blast on a Slayer task, or high alchemy if you already have items.

  Place

  Stand at a bank for alchemy, or on the task.

  Click

  Click the spell, then the monster or the item.

  Leave

  Leave the weak bolts behind once you can burst.

• Mid

  Method

  Cast Ice Burst on dust devils or the monkey spot if you paid for it.

  Place

  Stand where several monsters can be frozen together.

  Click

  Click the spell in the middle of the pile, and pray.

  Leave

  Leave if you have no food and no prayer left.

• Late

  Method

  Cast Ice Barrage on those same spots.

  Place

  Stand in the same pile.

  Click

  Click barrage, then eat before the next hit.

  Leave

  Leave when the runes run out, or when you can already do the boss you wanted.

Inventory

Wear Void, or Ahrim or Ancestral if you can afford it. Wear an occult necklace. Wear a Slayer helmet on a task. Bring only what this method uses. Leave the spare gear in the bank.

Money fork

Bursting and barraging spend runes. Splashing (standing still so a spell misses on purpose) is not a real method. Check the wiki for rune prices.

Iron fork

If you cannot buy the supplies, gather them yourself. Stay on the earlier step until you have them.

Kit

Wear Void, or Ahrim or Ancestral if you can afford it. Wear an occult necklace. Wear a Slayer helmet on a task.

Mistakes

Do not burst with no prayer and no food. Do not buy Ancestral robes before you can even cast barrage.

Stop

Stop when you have the level you came for. A quest, a prayer, or a weapon. Level 99 is a cape. You do not need it to use the skill.
