Dragon Slaying in Emporodor Note: This paper was plagiarised (without malice) and printed here after peer review by two
gentlemen of the aristocracy who sought only money for their services.
1.0 - Introduction
Dragons have been around since the days of “Elthred the Demented” and since his time, many
Hybrids and sub-species have been introduced. These include coloured dragons (Green, Blue, Red
and Black), the offspring of these coloured dragons (known as Baby dragons), and lastly Brutal
dragons (the only one being Green, to date).
Brutal dragons were introduced along with Slayer; they are ferocious and often assigned as Slayer
tasks. Despite the fact that they do not offer decent Slayer experience, they offer quite a number of
valuable rewards for those hardened adventurers willing to take them on in the Brimhaven
Dungeon. On top of that, all Brutal dragons drop the corresponding bar of which they are made of.
The coloured dragons (excluding the babies) drop the corresponding coloured dragonhides, used
frequently in the art of Crafting. Brutal Green dragons (being the lone brutal species) were released
along with Mithril dragons; these can be found lurking in the darkness of the Ancient Cavern. All of
the above dragons drop Dragon bones, ideal for Prayer experience; the baby dragons drop baby
dragon bones, suitable for Players who cannot afford regular Dragon bones.
Aside from conventional dragons there is also the King Black Dragon, or KBD for short. The King Black
Dragon was the original "boss-monster" of Emprodor and remains today a popular target for groups
of players due to his valuable and rare drops.
2.0 - Basics of Dragon Slaying
Before you begin fighting dragons around Emprodor you will need to know basic methods to protect
yourself from all dragons' dangerous fire breath. Firstly, you must always be wielding an Anti-
Dragonfire shield (unless you are ranging or maging the dragons, but even then it's highly
recommended to use one). Anti-Dragonfire shields can be obtained from Duke Horacio in
Lumbridge.
The Anti-Dragonfire shield is not fully impervious to the dragons' breath. To fully protect yourself,
you can take some Anti-Fire Potions, or use a Dragonfire shield (75 Defence required).
Dragonhides
Dragonhides can be obtained by killing dragons, and can be crafted into dragonhide armour.
Dragonhide armour offers excellent protection for rangers and all dragonhides have a great Magic
resistance, although with limited melee protection bonuses.

Dragon
After you have managed to get the dragonhides, you must see a tanner. Tanners can be found in Al
Kharid, the Crafting Guild, the Rangers' Guild, and Canifis. You should also bring along some money,
a needle and thread, which can be bought from the crafting stores in Al Kharid and Rimmington
(close to the Crafting Guild).
Further miscellaneous information:
•Anti-Dragonfire shields are used to lessen the damage dealt by Dragons' fire breath attacks.
•Anti-Fire Potions stop the Dragon's Fire Attack from doing any damage for a limited amount of
time.
•Dragon bones give 72 Prayer experience.
•Unlike fully grown dragons Baby Blue, Red, and Black dragons all drop Baby dragon bones that offer
30 Prayer experience. Baby dragons do not drop dragonhides either.
•For more information on Prayer Experience check out the Prayer Guide.
3.0 - Combat Styles
For Dragons 'Slash' and 'stab' attacks are the most effective melee combat style to use against them.
Since the Dragon longsword is capable of both styles it is ideal for dragon slaying. For your own
convenience this guide will list the most-used weapons, along with their advantages and
disadvantages.
3.1 - Melee
Zybez Emprodor Help's Special Attack
Dragon Battle Axe
Definitely not a good choice to use against Dragons. If you are using an battle axe, the best fighting
style would be 'crush' although it isn't very effective against dragons. It does have a high Slash stat,
but even then it is too slow to really be of any use against dragons. Weapons like the battle axe are
more suited against armoured foes. It is quite accurate however and the dragon battle axe does pack
a nasty punch, especially against Brutal dragons.
Special attack: The Battle axe's special attack will temporary boost your strength, but lower your
attack, defence, ranged and Magic levels. If you use this special attack and are of a lower level it may
be helpful to have a stat restore potion with you to compensate the loss in attack and defence. The
special attack takes up 100% of your Special attack bar meaning it takes some time to recharge,
using a strength potion might be better.
Dragon Longsword
With its high Stab and Slash stats the dragon longsword is very accurate and especially powerful
against dragons. The damage of the sword is lower than that of a Dragon battle axe, but its speed
surpasses the battle axe by a long shot. Players must have completed Lost City quest to use this
weapon.
Special attack: This special attack is actually very useful. When used your character will strike the
enemy with increased power and accuracy. This attack can be used 4 times until your special attack
bar is completely drained, so if you're lucky and don't miss too often, using it you can deal a lot of
damage in a short period.
Dragon Dagger
Probably the most important thing about the Dragon dagger is the fact that it can be poisoned. Not
only does the weapon have a fast speed in combat but it offers moderate slash and stab bonuses as
well, so when poisoned it can deal a lot of damage quickly to dragons. Players must have completed
Lost City quest to use this weapon.
Do keep in mind that you will not receive any experience from the damage your opponent takes
from the poisoning.
Despite the dagger's positives, the best strategy with this weapon is to wield it briefly to strike and
poison your opponent (using the special usually), then switch back to another weapon. This means
that you can deal superior damage with another weapon, but still accelerate the dragon's death by
poisoning it quickly with the dagger. Remember though that to poison an opponent you must deal at
least 10 damage to their life points.
Special Attack: As with the dragon long sword's special attack, the dragon dagger special hits with
increased power and accuracy. As well as this the special hits twice in the same turn of combat, and
possibly three times if poison is effective on the opponent. As with the sword though, there is no
guarantee that you will always hit.
Dragon Mace
Perhaps the most helpful virtue of the Dragon mace is the Prayer bonus you receive. Using this
weapon means you can conserve Prayer points a while longer, just as with Monk Robes and Holy
Symbols. To equip the mace players must have completed Heroes Quest. Its speed is comparable to
that of a Longsword, but the damage you can deal with this weapon lies lower. It can be used against
dragons but just as with the dragon battle axe it has a high crush stat and little stab and slash
bonuses to offer. It is recommended to use the mace against armoured foes instead, however the
crush bonus is helpful against Brutal dragons none the less.
Special attack: The dragon mace special attack causes you to hit with much more strength than
usual, although accuracy is only marginally improved. You can hit extremely high numbers with this
special attack if used correctly! That means using a super strength potion, ultimate strength Prayer
and any other ways you might find to temporary raise your strength along with the attack can hit
high indeed. Even when you don't have a high strength level and don't use a Super Strength potion it
is still a very useful move, like the dragon dagger it is most effective when used as a special attack
move between using a more suitable weapon.
Dragon Scimitar
The Dragon Scimitar is another great weapon for slaying dragons that ranks up with the Dragon
Longsword. It has increased accuracy, which helps you deal more consistent damage, though
unfortunately you need to have completed the Monkey Madness quest to be able to wield it. As you
may be able to pick from its shape the Dragon Scimitar is best suited to Slash attacks.
Special attack: Unlike the Dragon longsword the Dragon scimitar's special increases only the
accuracy of your attack, rather than the power. It also uses 55% of your special power meaning you
need to wait after only using it once. All-in-all, the Dragon Scimitar's special attack against dragons is
(excuse the pun) nothing special.
Abyssal Whip
The Abbysal is one of the most powerful weapons in Emprodor and certainly the fastest. As well as
packing a mighty punch, it also strikes faster than a longsword, dagger or scimitar. Because of this,
the weapon is widely used and can speed up the process of Dragon slaying. Downsides to this
weapon are that it is fairly expensive for most players. It also has a weak special attack and does not
train Strength well (as it is 'controlled'), but if you are training for money purposes, an Abyssal whip
is the ideal weapon.
Special Attack: The abyssal whip's special attack steals opponents energy, striking once in a twirl of
red. This is not needed for Dragon slaying, and your valuable attack bar could be used for a double
dragon dagger strike, or hit from a dragon mace instead. The attack uses half of the bar per use as
well.
3.2 - Ranged
Ranged is a very useful against dragons. The main reason being that you are firing from a distance
away from the Dragon where it cannot attack you, and therefore you don't lose any life points,
which saves time and money collecting food as well. Ranged attacks are most useful against Blue
and Red Dragons because there are more safespots in their respawn areas. Ranged attacks against
Green Dragons are also effective, however Green Dragons are only found in the Wilderness and
underneath it within the chaos tunnels, and therefore taking arrows can be risky. The Crystal Bow is
very effective against killing all types of Dragons, but can be quite costly. Gathering arrows in Blue
dragon areas is still fairly dangerous as their firebreath in particular can be fatal without the correct
protection.
The Magic shortbow is the recommended bow. It is fairly cheap, but has a very high Ranged Bonus
and fires quickly. It's best used in conjunction with Steel+ arrows when fighting Dragons. The
shortbow is faster than the longbow as well.
Ranged is not recommended against Bronze, Iron, Steel, and Mithril Dragons as they use a Ranged
fireball attack unless using a crossbow with an anti-dragonfire or dragonfire shield.
Special Attack: Similar to the dragon dagger special attack in effect, the shortbow fires two arrows in
rapid succession meaning damage can be dealt quickly.
3.3 - Magic
Magic is very effective against Dragons due to their low Magic defence. The recommended spells
are: Fire Bolt, Fire Blast and Slayer Dart. Magic is also effective for the same reasons as Ranged; you
don't take any damage if you are in a safespot.
However, do not use Magic against a King Black Dragon. It is completely useless, and will just waste
your money. Also Magic is less effective versus Brutal green and Mithril Dragons.
4.0 - Preparing For Combat
As would be expected, for a new player it takes some courage to attack a dragon for the first time.
An unprepared player is no match for a dragon so you should stock up on food, armour and other
helpful items (depending on your combat style) before going heading to a dragon's location.
4.1 - Food
Food is without a doubt the one thing that will give you the true advantage over a dragon. The ability
to heal yourself by eating food at a fast rate will often be what keeps you alive. Of course not all
food is suitable, apple pies may be delicious but there are higher healing foods out there that are
more useful.
•Lobsters: Probably the most used food, they can be fished in Karamja, Catherby or the Fishing Guild
notably. Lobsters heal 120hp and therefore may not last that long, but they are fast and easy to fish
in return.
•Karambwan: These can be fished or bought from Lubufu upon the completion of the Tai Bwo
Wannai Trio quest. They heal 180hp when cooked and are a good alternative for swordfish.
•Monkfish: These can be fished after the completion of the Swan Song quest at the Piscatoris Fishing
Colony. They heal 160HP each and are fairly easy to fish.
•Swordfish: The best food available on F2P and ideal for players attempting to defeat Elvarg.
However they are quite slow to fish and you burn them a lot unless you have a high Cooking level.
Swordfish heal 140hp.
•Sharks: Sharks are hard to catch, and require a high Fishing level of 76, and level 80 Cooking to
cook. In return though they are able to heal 200HP each. These huge fish are often used when
fighting the stronger dragons, such as the Black Dragons, Brutal dragons, and the King Black Dragon.
•Anchovie/Pineapple Pizzas: These take a long time to prepare, and they must be eaten in two
pieces, thus you will have to skip two combat rounds rather than one. These are not recommended
unless you are using safespots and need something to use sparingly to recover minor damage.
•Ughtanki kebabs: They require some time to prepare, but it's worth it as they heal 190Hp each. You
have to kill Ughtanki Camels in the desert south of Al Kharid, cook their meat, and get the other
various ingredients to ultimately get a kebab.
•Tuna & Sweetcorn potatoes: These heal 220Hp each, but take a very long time to prepare.
For more information see our Cooking and Fishing guides.
4.2 - Equipment
Anti-Dragonfire Shield Zybez Emprodor Help's Screenshot of the Anti-Dragonfire shield
As said, the Anti-Dragonfire shield is nearly always required against dragons. The shield is received
during Dragon Slayer quest, in which you will receive it from the Duke of Lumbridge. Don't worry -
even if you have lost it, you can get an unlimited amount of shields back from the Duke! A good trick
to stock up on them is to drop the shield, and talk to him again, to get another shield. Repeat the
process till you get the desired amount you require.
Dragonfire Shield Zybez Emprodor Help's Screenshot of the Dragonfire shield
Level 75 Defence is required to equip the shield. Combining the Anti-Dragonfire Shield and a
draconic visage will result the dragonfire shield. It can hold up to 50 charges of dragonfire and every
charge adds +1 to stab, slash, crush and Ranged defence. The shield has its own special attack, which
releases dragonfire but has to cool down afterwards. Combining the anti-dragon shield and a
draconic visage requires 90 Smithing and will give you 2000 Smithing experience. You need a
hammer and an anvil to add them together.
You can also pay Oziach 1,250,000GP to attach them. To charge the shield, you must be attacked by
50 dragon fire's from a dragon or skeletal wyvern. Any dragon that breathes fire or ice is able to
charge your shield. Only one charged dragonfire shield can be in your bank, whether they have the
same or different charges.
Anti fire-breath Potion Zybez Emprodor Help's Screenshot of the Anti fire-breath potion
These potions are commonly used when fighting Bronze, Iron, Steel and Mithril Dragons. You will
have to make these potions in order to prevent the Dragon's breath from hurting you. If you have
Protect from Melee enabled, are wielding an Anti-Dragonfire shield and have drunk a dose of this
potion, you can kill the dragon without any problems, and even without losing a single life point
yourself. The anti fire-breath potions do protect against the King black dragon.
First of all, they are available to paying members only. This means that Free players can't get hold of
them in any way, thus they will have accept the additional damage they may receive from a dragon's
breath. To create a anti-fire potion you must obtain Lantadyme, put the herb in a water-filled potion,
and then use a ground Blue Dragon Scale with the mixture (69 Herblore required). These can be
acquired from the Blue Dragons' nest, located in the Members' Dungeon nearby Taverley. For more
information on how to make this potion, visit the Zybez Herblore Guide.
Zybez Emprodor Help's Screenshot of the Anti fire mix Players who have completed Barbarian
Training can also take 2-dose anti fire-breath potions and add them to caviare provided they have
level-75 Herblore. The Antifire mix potion created can protect players for more or less time than
normal potion but also each dose also heals 30-60 life points. Players may decide to use these
instead to save inventory space.
Prayer
This isn't necessarily required to kill the Dragons but it is very helpful. Prayer is useful for extending
how long players can stay at spawn locations of dragons, and speeding up the rate of kills. However
your Prayer will drain soon if you keep using Protect from Melee. The expensive solution to loss in
Prayer points are prayer restore potion. These potions can be made by mixing Ranarr weed with
some Snape Grass (38 herblore required) in a water filled vial. You should have about 50 Prayer
Potions before you start a full dragon killing spree.
Armour & Weapons
Armour is perhaps the most flexible requirement against dragons. Players must all of course bring
what they can afford, and more so what they are not afraid to lose in some situations. Adamant and
Rune armour is sufficient for Green and Blue dragons in many cases, but rising through the difficulty
of dragons better melee, Ranged, and Magic armour should be used. Good armour is crucial when
fighting Brutal dragons and Brutal green dragons. Dragonhide is often preferred by melee users as
well as rangers against the King Black Dragon as it is lighter to wear whilst travelling through the
wilderness and it supplies ample protection against the dragon's attacks as long as the wearer is in a
good sized group.

5.3 - Elvarg
Elvarg is the Dragon that must be defeated in order for you to complete the Dragon Slayer Quest.
Although her combat level isn't too high, she has 1200 life points and can hit up to 400 damage
when she uses her fire breath attack. Lobsters are the recommended food and you should take
some combat potions as well.
Elvarg
5.4 - The King Black Dragon
The King Black Dragon is one of Emprodor's fiercest foes, at a whopping level 276. His three heads
prove to be extremely tough to defeat, and the dragon's desolate location doesn't make it any
easier, what with the possibility of revenants, and distance from banks. It is suggested that no one
under level 100 attempt to challenge the KBD alone. A group of at the very least 6 skilled players,
usually above level 80 minimum is advised.
King Black Dragon
Flying Solo versus the King Black Dragon
Defeating the KBD (King Black Dragon) by yourself is a taxing task. It can take a number of trips to
the bank to restock supplies until you are able to continue fighting it.
Recommended Equipment:
Helmet: It is suggested that you bring a Neitiznot Helmet, Mystic Helmet, or any other hat which
gives Magic defence bonus. Since you are going into the wilderness you may only want to use Mystic
to not risk losing valuable armour.
Cape: A Legends cape, Obsidian cape, or a Skill cape would work fine. If you feel you are advanced
enough, a fire cape would work as well.
Amulet: The amulet can be substituted for any amulet which you feel will give you good
attack/defence bonuses, yet let me remind you again; since you are going into the wilderness you
may not want to risk valuable armour. Some amulets you could take are an Amulet of Glory, Amulet
of Fury, or a God Stole.
Top: The top can be a Karil's Platebody (recommended), Mystic top, Dragonhide body or any top
which you feel gives good Magic defence bonuses. If you feel you are advanced enough you could
take Armadyl Platebody.
Weapon: The weapon can be a Abyssal whip (recommended), Dragon Scimitar, or any other Melee
weapon which you feel like using. Remember, substituting for any 2H weapon is not recommended
since it means you loose out on a shield! You might want to bring an Enchanted Excalibur, or a DDS
along for their Special attacks.
Shield: An anti-dragon fire shield or a Dragonfire Shield is a MUST! Without this you will get hit for
400+ damage and will die quickly.
Bottom: The bottom can be Karil's Plateskirt, a Mystic bottom, Dragonhide chaps or any other
bottom which you feel gives good Magic defence bonuses. If you are advanced you can bring
Armadyl Platelegs.
Gloves: The gloves can be Barrows gloves, or any gloves which you feel gives good Magic defence
bonuses and/or Melee attack bonuses.
Boots: The boots can be Dragon Boots, Rune boots, Climbing Boots, or any boots which you feel
gives good Magic defence bonuses. Those boots are wizard boots.
Ring: The ring can be a ring of life, for their different special effects. Also note that rings of recoil do
not function on the KBD. If you are advanced you can bring a Berserker Ring, or a Warriors Ring.
Note: Ahrims and Karil's are useful as they both provide high Magic attack and defence bonuses

Recommended Inventory
There is nothing you can really change here, except for the amount of Prayer restore and Anti-fire
potions you take.
The prayer restore potions are there for obvious reasons: to keep your Prayer points above 0 and
keep your prayers active. The Super antipoisons are in case you get poisoned due to the poisonous
spiders or the KBD's Magic attacks. One Dose of a Super Antipoison lasts quite a long time so you
don't really need to worry about more than two potions. The Super attack and strength potions are
so you hit the KBD harder and faster, rather than needing to teleport out before you kill it.
You can bring a teleport tablet, ectophial or any other teleport you want. You could bring a weapon
such as a mace, dragon dagger(p++), dragon halberd or any other weapon which has a good strong
special you could use at the start.
The Slaying
One thing you could use providing you have 100+ Combat and 50+ Slayer is go to the shilo village
master and do tasks until you get black dragons; you can bring along a black mask and it will increase
your attack and strength by 15% while fighting the dragon, also if it is fully charged it may lower the
dragons defence by 15%. King Black Dragons do count as an alternative for a Black Dragon task.
Once you reach the entrance to the KBD's lair, stand outside the gate and use your potions. Take one
dose of the: Super attack, Super strength, Super antipoison and antifire potions. Once you've drunk a
dose of each, enable protect from melee, open the door and climb down the ladder. Quickly go and
pull the lever, then run and attack the KBD. Use your weapon's special attack (if it has one) and then
switch to your normal weapon and hit away. You may get hit a bit, but never freak out. Stay calm
and you can react faster than if you're freaking out and don't know what to do. Always use Protect
from Melee while with the KBD, as it hits a LOT harder with Melee than Magic. Heal when your
health gets low and always watch your Prayer. There is no real strategy on where to stand, just hit
him. Don't run away unless you have no Prayer and are about to die. Sometimes it takes two trips,
but most of the time it only takes one trip.
You can also use Ranged against the KBD, take your anti-dragonfire shield, a ranged potion, and a
high level crossbow with bolts (enchanted ruby bolts and higher are ideal), as well as the normal
equipment. Whilst ranging stand a few steps away from KBD and put on protect from magic. With
level 80 Ranged players can be capable of slaying the dragon twice in each trip.
You will most probably only be able to make one trip (kill him once) and then you will have to
teleport out. That is alright, just go back and kill it again. Pick up the drops (it drops a Black
dragonhide and Dragon bones 100% of the time), and then teleport out.
Teaming
Here it gets a little bit easier. The more players you have on your team, the lower combat level you
need to kill it. With 2-4 people it's suggested around 90 combat, 5+ people you could be anywhere
from 80 combat and above, or lower.
Recommended Equipment
There is no real change between the equipment you take if you solo the KBD or if you team it, you
just don't necessarily have to bring equipment that is as expensive because you won't take as much
damage. Your best dragonhide or mystic armour is great as it won't matter if you die and you can
still kill it relatively easy. In large groups rune armour will suffice.
Recommended Inventory
Again, the inventory doesn't have to change whether you're teaming or solo'ing the KBD. The main
changes you could have would be more Super attack/strength potions, less Sharks, more Prayer
restore potions and a weapon, for its special attack. Note that you will probably be killing it more
than once in a trip depending on your team's combat levels, so make the changes you feel are
necessary. In very large groups within clans trips can reach hundreds of kills.
The Slaying
Do the same start as you would solo'ing the KBD. Once you reach the entrance to the lair, stand
outside the gate and pot up. Take one dose of the: Super Attack, Super Strength, Super Antipoison
and Antifire. After you've finished potting up, chuck on Protect from Melee, open the door and climb
down the ladder. Quickly go and pull the lever, and run and attack the KBD. Use your weapons
special (if you have one) and then switch to your normal weapon and hit away. The difference here
is you and your team should split up and surround it from different sides. This way, it spends more
time spinning around.
Same goes if you were solo'ing the KBD; heal when needed, take a dose of your prayer restore
potion when needed, and do this until you kill it. Once dead, pick up the loot, run about 10-15
squares away from the respawn area and turn off your Prayer. Remain focused at all times as you
can still easily die next time. As soon as the KBD spawns, turn on protect from melee, run to it and
attack it. If you need to drink more of your potions, do it while attacking him rather than just as it
respawns because you may get hit. Again, separate your group so it spends more time spinning
around. This guide must stress this: do not think that because you're owning it, you can just relax.
Remain on CONSTANT alert and watch your Prayer points and your Hit points. If you do this and
heal/pot when necessary you should be fine. Pick up the drops and teleport out when you're all out
of Potions and food. A tip would be to share food in case someone is getting attacked a lot and is low
while you're very high.
6.0 - Money Making
There are several ways that you can make a great deal of money by slaying these dragons, but there
are mainly only two dragon types that are really popular to make money from. Many high level
dragons are capable of dropping valuably rare items, however as a money making system this can be
unreliable.
Green Dragons
There are several locations in the Wilderness where Green Dragons are found.
Getting there takes an average of 1 minute, banking, and teleporting included. So you don't have to
mind that much about revenant. You can fight them and if you die to them you can just teleport
back here with some food in inventory to survive to an attack (don't forget an anti-dragonfire shield)
and grabbing your items under the gravestone. And normally, players are nice enough and just
repair or bless your grave so no problem of time getting your items back. If you can't fight back the
revenant, or don't want to die for any reasons, just walk west and get into clans wars. Your teleblock
will be out since the clan wars is non wildy and then you can teleport to the Wilderness Volcano. This
is probably the most effective and fastest way possible.
Location:
The 'East Dragons' are located north of Varrock. There are 8 dragon respawn spot.
Quests required:
There is no quest required to get here
Items required:
Game necklace (8):802 GP each, having 10 or more in bank would be enough for a while.
Cooked monkfish: 306 GP each, having 200 or more in bank would be enough for a while.
This is probably the fastest way back and forth.
For these Dragons it's recommended that you melee them. When you go to fight them bring the
item's listed above in the "Inventory Set-up" section of this guide. It's also recommended you bring a
form of teleportation because there can be revenants lurking there.
If you have a higher Magic level, you may also have easy access to the Green Dragons, north-west of
the Graveyard (Located at ~23 Wilderness). Here you may use Ancient Magicks (Level 84,
Carrallangar Teleport) to teleport yourself to Level 20 wilderness. From there, walk just a little north-
west, and you have reached another accessable Dragon Slaying area.
Killing them is quite simple. All you have to really do it drink your potions and then kill them. It's
recommended that you only pick up their Bones and Hides and leave the other items dropped unless
they are worth more than 2,000gp. When you have a full inventory; teleport to Edgeville by using
your Amulet of Glory. Bank and repeat. If you kill the Dragon's effectively you can make upwards of
100,000 GP an hour. The hides can be sold for around 1,600gp each and the Bones for about 2,000gp
each.
Blue Dragons
Blue Dragons are found in various locations around the map. To kill them you can use any of the
Melee, Ranged or Mage combat styles. A very effective weapon to use is a Halberd, which allows you
to Melee attack Dragons from a distance without getting hurt. The best locations for killing Blue
Dragons are the Heroes' Guild and the Gu'Tanoth dungeon, which is south of Yanille (requires
completion of Watchtower quest).
If you are planning to Range them it's recommended you have 70+ Ranged and use Steel+ Arrows. If
you are a Mage then Fire Bolts and/or Blasts are very effective. To kill them efficiently you need to
have about 80+ Combat if you are going to Melee them. And 70+ Combat if you plan to Halberd
them. Killing Blue Dragons can make you about 140,000 GP an hour if you are very efficient. Their
hides sell for around 1,900gp each and their Bones for around 2,000gp each. Blue Dragons are more
efficient for Money Making than Greens if you are a lower level because they are not located in the
Wilderness and you can use the three different Attack Styles.
Brutal Dragons
Brutal Dragons are not for the feint of heart. They have high defence and constitution, and can hit
extremely hard. They drop Dragon Platelegs, Dragon Plateskirts, and the Draconic Visage. A
detailed guide to defeating this foe can be found here, in the Brimhaven Dungeon guide.
7.0 - Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much damage can Dragons do?
A: Dragons can hit up to 500 damage with their Fire Attacks if you don't have an Anti-Dragonfire
Shield, Dragonfire shield, or anti-fire potion (potion works for 6 minutes).
Q: Do Dragons 1-hit me if I am not wearing a shield?
A: They are able to do so, but it is not 100%. They can hit very high if you don't use the shield, but a
1-hit is not automatic. Still, it's a possibility, so be careful especially if you are a lower level player.
Q: I have a low/medium/high combat level, which dragon should I train on?
A: Low - Probably best if you start fighting baby blue dragons with good armour, good food and
teleport runes.
Medium - Baby blue dragons are going to become less of a challenge to you, so you could start with
the blue dragons, bring your trusty antifire shield, good food, weapons and teleport runes.
High - You could pretty much battle most of the dragons. Black dragons could be entertaining, if you
bring your anti-dragonfire shield and food then you can have a go at them.
