Mage protect doesn't affect how much the firebreath does. It used to, but Jagex fixed it like a year ago. The reason I mentioned it is because it protects you from the dragon's mage attack, which can do a lot of damage. You should read the guide I posted earlier. It was written before Summoning came out, but it has a lot of useful information.

Do you know what profit means?

Both the d long and leaf bladed sword are better than a whip, and all three are inferior to ruby/diamond bolts. At those stats i got 6 kills with mele+no summon. Whip+shield. So verac fails. Cause: 1: If you got bad connection: You will get toasted and die a cruel death. 2: When you have distance from dragon: it will use distance attacks (Fire breath is one of them). 3: Hitting 30-48 With Fire breath uses up your food easy 4: Healing Familiars: nearly keep up with the Mithrildragons Magic damaging for me. So that says how good it is using Summons. You're forgetting that Verac's can kill mithril dragons incredibly quickly. Even though you have to bank more often it's still probably the fastest method of killing them, and much faster than a whip. And haven't you ever heard of Protect from Mage? Or anti-fire potions?

You have to understand that for every bug that makes it through Jagex's QA department, there are probably dozens of bugs that are found and removed before the update. I'm not saying that Jagex can't do a better job, but you can't really say they're doing a bad job. One thing Jagex's QA is bad at, however, is making sure that new content is properly balanced. For example, when Vinesweeper came out it gave 1/6 the amount of xp it gives now, which is really underpowered.

http://www.truthscape.com/html/ts_MithrilDragonGuideAdvancedVeracsTechniquewithPiety.htm Outdated, but very good. EDIT: Your stats are way too low.

Some of the articles on there are well-written and accurate, while others just plain suck. I guess the reason teachers don't let students use Wikipedia is that they don't trust students to distinguish between good and bad articles.

There be tons of spam in this 'ere thread.

Wouldn't it be easier just to use another fansite's calculator to figure out the formula? At the rate this project is going it's probably the best option.

Is the Corporeal Beast's defence that low, that void is superior to black d'hide or Armadyl? I'd expect more from a level 785 monster.

Actually the KBD is considerably stronger than mithril dragons, despite being lower-leveled. And you can't really call this a complete guide, as it doesn't give any information about how to solo it.

Wow. That's over 10mil. :thumbsup: What items are you using for armor instead of barrows? The helmet looks like a neitiznot, not sure though. And for some reason he's wearing dragon boots, which is stupid considering they give 0 range defence.

In the video, the Beast was hit by four ruby specs, each doing 100 damage. That's from three rangers, meaning that each ranger did, on average, 133.33... damage. The rest of the team was comprised of 12 meleers, and each also did an average of 133 damage. Considering that two of the meleers were using Verac's, it would seem that the Zamorak spear has a slight advantage over ruby bolts. But that's assuming that the rangers didn't do any damage outside of the specs, and they almost certainly did. Overall, it's probably best to say that ZS and ruby bolts are equal. And also, it seems that the leaf bladed sword is the optimal melee weapon for killing mithril dragons. The dragon longsword has been proven to be superior to a whip at mithrils, and the leaf-bladed sword has a higher stab attack than the d long. The sword's increased speed more then compensates for the lower strength.

Don't go from 89-99 strength without training attack or defence at all. Raising your attack will give you higher accuracy and therefore you'll be able to train faster. And defence has a variety of uses.

But what about the Beast's defence? With a Zamorakian spear you'll probably hit a lot of 0s, and when you do hit there's no guarantee that it'll be 40+ or anything like that. But with ruby bolts the special is 100% accurate when it does activate, so you'll hit a bunch of 0s and then whack a 100 on it (Of course it only hits that much when the beast is at high health, so you'll have to use melee at some point).

Why use either as a primary weapon at the Corporeal Beast? Ruby bolts hit up to 100 on it; you'd only want to use a melee weapon for the end of the fight.

450$ a night?!?! How can you even consider not taking the job?

He never said that he absolutely can't use something else besides bone bolts. As a side note, you shouldn't use bone bolts on things that have decent drops. I've heard of people using them against fire giants and basilisks, which is pretty stupid since you'll still make money using better stuff like broad bolts.

They're called aviansies. They have great drops and are decent xp.

Rune defender is far, far superior to granite shield. And you should get a ring of wealth.

If you farm snapdragons you'll make a LOT more money than with dwarf weeds. With the extra money you can then plant watermelons and low level trees for more xp.

Chaos Tunnels. Huge underground multicombat dungeon under the wilderness.

Use a ring of wealth, not a warrior. It makes a big difference in how much you make from drops.

There's a bunch of ways to kill them. You can either range them with ruby and diamond (e) bolts or melee them with a dragon long+DFS or Verac's. You should keep all of the mithril bars they drop. Oh and by the way, Tip.it's mithril dragon guide is rubbish.

If you're going to train strength, use a dragon longsword, not a scimitar. Metal dragons are weak to stab attacks.

What? You don't pick up the air and water runes? Or the herbs? And you should never go on super long trips like that; it forces you to leave a lot of stuff (like ranarrs!) on the ground.
