A question about rune dragons.

[Blaze The Movie Fan]

Since the RuneScape wiki doesn't make the comparison, and I'm not qualified yet to fight them myself due to what I assume is lack of quests completed, I'm gonna ask here.

 

Is it possible to kill over 5 of these in one trip if my bag is loaded with sharks?

[Major Dash]

Assuming that you have the right gear, yes. Very doable.

[Poppet]

If you have the required quests they should be pretty easy to kill. You need to use dragon bane bolts or arrows.

 

The biggest issue with killing them is without a slayer task their drops are rather lame. But to get a slayer task you need Morvan, who is in the Elf City. That alone has significantly harder requirements than the prior.

[Wkw]

If you kill them with either a nox bow or ascension bows in pernix with soulsplit on a slayer task, yes, you can kill 5 of them without eating.

 

To provide a better answer, we need to know what gear you are using.

 

 

 

Think of it this way. If you tell us how much gas you have, and what kind of vehicle you own, we can tell you how far you can travel. If you only tell us how much gas you have, not the vehicle, we can't give you an accurate answer.

Or,,, "I have some money. Can I buy food?" "How much money do you have, and what food do you want?" "I have money" "That doesn't answer my question."

Melee is the method I'm thinking about using, I don't care what melee armor, but since I consider myself a knight in the game, I like using melee.

 

I only use other methods if melee is an awful idea, such as with greater demons and red dragons.

Well looking at RS Wiki it seems they have three phases. First you have to hit through their armor with dragonbane - everything else, including melee damage, is drastically reduced. Then they fly into the air so melee becomes useless for that phase of the fight. When they land I suppose you could finish them up with melee if you want. Still though, you need to specify what tier of gear you are using (Dragon? Bandos? Torva?) and which weapons for anyone to give a reasonable estimate. I haven't fought them but melee looks like a very bad idea here.

You could do what traditional knights do and get completely roasted when the dragon goes airborne

[Sy_Accursed]

Melee and dragons is in general a bad idea since none of them are weak to it, but melee and rune dragons is an utter no-go.

 

Phase one has to be done with dragonbane which means ranging.

Phase 2 they fly and can only be hit with range or mage.

Phase 3 you can do what you please.

 

Basically you cannot kill them without ranging and taking any sort of gear switch would be an epic waste of inventory space.

Blaze, you might want to read this. Might help you.You need to range these, with dragonbane arrows or bolts.
