Dexek Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Hello, I was wondering if with my current combat stats I could effectively kill Steel Dragons. My stats can be easily accessed by clicking my username to the left of this post. Just to make it simpler I will list my current combat stats. They are as follows: Attack - 71 Strength - 96 Defence - 45 Prayer - 46 Range - 74 Magic - 80 Hitpoints - 83 My combat stats will be steadily rising, but I would like to know if I can effectively kill Steel Dragons with my current stats. I would also like to know which method would be most effective; Magic, Melee, or Ranging. I can raise my attack to about 80 in a short time period. I can also raise my magic to 90 if that helps. I will most likely not be raising my prayer, which makes me believe that magic would be the most effective method to killing Steel Dragons. If it helps greatly I could possibly raise my Herblore from 60 to 69 so I can make my own Anti-Firebreath potions. If it isn't worth my time to gain these 9 Herblore levels, please state so. I am perfectly fine with buying the potions from other players. As for hitpoints, I am nearly 84, and can get 85 in a day or two, depending how much of an effect that really has on killing Steel Dragons. I could also get my strength up some more, but I feel that 3 levels won't increase the amount of damage I do by much. I am aware that attack levels would help a lot with hitting consistantly, but I am only considering getting that up to 80 in a short time period. Furthermore, I would like to know if Mystic Robes would be effective enough if maging Steel Dragons is the best method for myself. I would like to know this because I do not plan on raising my defence level at all, otherwise I would just do KQ trips with Veracs.. If maging Steel Dragons is the best method for my stats, then please state what type of spell would be best. I do not have Ancients or Lunar Magicks, so do not suggest any spells from those classes. I have chaos gauntlets if that influences the decision as to which type of spell I should use. I would like to break even, or make a profit from Steel Dragons, and thus would rather not do blast, or wave spells. If I can easily make a profit, or break even from these spells, please state so. Ranging is not my strong point, but I could make some high powered bolts to range the Steel Dragons with if it is effective, and worth the costs to make them. Melee style I would be using a Dragon weapon, so please state the most effective dragon weapon for Steel Dragons if melee is my best suited and most effective style to kill Steel Dragons. I could use a whip, but I would be lower than 80 attack using one, as I do not wish to pass that barrier for some time. If you feel that I simply can't kill Steel Dragons effectively, please state why I can not kill them, and what stats would need raising to effectively kill them. Keep in mind that I am not raising my defence level, and prayer level at all; or my attack level over 80. As I stated above I can raise my mage to 90 or so if that has a greater impact on how often I would hit. Thank you so much for your help and advice.

djp2rr Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 If you are maging you just need a anti-fire breath shield and pots & best mage robes and runes... If you are going to melle them you will also need pray pots & best pray boosting armour / monk robes and weapon (recommend a super attack pot as well)... Just bring a couple pieces of food for when the pots wear off & 1 click tele... You will be fine using either mage or melle IMO... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuuskukk14 Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 if you prefer melee, which is cheaper, you should get your attack to 80. you should get proselyte armor (best pray bonus). bring a whip/d scimmy and a dds .also bring a super attack potion (maybe sup str too) antifires and pray pots. oooh and an axe to get there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roberthree Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Dude, you have 96 strength. Melee them with DDS Specals+Whip. Bring your best prayer bonus, pray melee and drink anti-fire pots. You won't take much damage (If any at all). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexek Posted July 3, 2007 Author Share Posted July 3, 2007 Thanks alot for the advice. I will most likely mage them, and when I mage I will take an antifire shield, and drink antifire pots as well. If anyone knows approximately how long an Antifire Potion lasts, please post the information on this topic. The thing is, my friend with 97 mage tells me that the Steel Dragons have a high resistance to magic attacks, so I suppose getting my mage up to 90 would be a good use of my time. I am currently soloing Giant Moles in Falador, and doing trips with a friend just to get the hand of killing a higher level monster. Any more advice would be much appreciated. Thanks. :) PoetryIndexed Picture 1Indexed Picture 2 Killed my maxed Zerker pure April 2010 Rebooting Runescape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learn a language while you scape.Sounds interesting, but these days how many people really speak Pirate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
