Do you think I can finish Dragon Slayer? ...I'm good, thanks

[Kingtygy]

Alright, I'm almost finished with Drgan Slayer, but I'm not entirely confident. So, I'm looking for some positive reassurance, and some advice on if i'll be able to kill Elvarg...... After I do Melzar's Maze.

 

 

 

Here are my (Combat Related) Stats:

 

Attack 40/40

 

Strength 40/40*

 

Defense 40/40

 

Range 3/3

 

Magic 35/35

 

Prayer 36/34*

 

Hitpoints 40/40

 

*I'm working on increasing my strength to 50/50 Also, if you think I need strenght potions, just say so.

 

*I'm in the prayer guild (obviously), so my prayer points are two higher than my level. Also, willing to increase my level to any protect prayer.

 

 

 

My Armour

 

Helmet: Adamant Full Helm

 

Body: Adamant Platedody

 

Gloves: Leather vambraces

 

Weapon: Adamant longsword

 

Legs: Adamant Platelegs

 

Neck: Holy Symbol (blessed)

 

Sheild: Anti-Dragonfire sheild

 

Boots: Fighting boots (SoS boots)

 

Cape: Blue Cape (aka the Cape of Kingtyguy)

 

 

 

At the moment, I'm alittle short on cash, but I'm saving up for Rune armour. If you think that I should wear full Rune to Crandor, just say so, you wish is my command (no, really, I don't wanna die!!!!!)

 

 

 

Inventory

 

 

 

I was thinking a full invetory of Lobsters, maybe a Strenght potion or two.

 

 

 

So, that's it, i think. I've almost finished the quest, I have to do Melzar's Maze too. Just wanted alittle advice. Thanks! Oh, and if you could, I've got a few other Questions that I'd appreciate it if you took a look at it.

 

 

 

[hide] 1. Do you think I'd have any problems at all doing Melzar's Maze with full inventroy of Lobsters? It's the lesser DEmon that concerns me, should i take silverlight?

 

 

 

2. If I need a rune weapon, should I get a rune longswrod, or a rune scimitar? I just want the one that kills the best.

 

 

 

Edit:Thanks for all the excellent feedback. I'll do it this weekend, and finish all of my quests :x , but if anyone just checking this out with something to say, I'll check it before I finish it. Wish Me Luck! (time to go do my Drawing l Homework..... -.- Wish me luck on that too).

 

 

 

That's it for now, thanks again.[/hide]

[tewas]

full rune is useless since you can't wear plate :) but use legs and helm. Stats seem to be ok, just get load of swordfishes and you should be fine

[Meta318]

Yea i think you could do it and melzars maze shouldn't be a problem. I did dragon slayer at like combat lvl 40 and i used almost all my lobsters but i was fine. Good luck.

[tryto]

aI did drag slayer with about 20 pray, 40 def, 40 atk, and like 30 str. Wasn't too hard either, only used half an invent on elvarg(lobies) Weraing full rune ecept pl8, dragon shield, and addy pl8.

[Mamong]

With Melzars Maze, take the Silverlight. I believe Silverlight works as strong as a Rune Longsword on Demons, so it will make it more powerful then your addy longsword.

[nerdattack16]

You can do Dragon Slayer easier than I did, I was 40/35/40. :P

 

 

 

Your armor's looking good, as well as your stats. I'd suggest getting a better amulet though, like a strength or power amulet, as well a rune longsword or scimitar - both would be equally fine. However, don't feel the need to, it'll just make it a bit easier. Although the rune weapon would be great for the future. :wink:

 

 

 

Bring one strength potion, and an inventory of lobsters. Oh, and just slap on your attack and defence prayers when you get there, it'll help a good bit.

 

 

 

Good luck! :)

[Kingtygy]

full rune is useless since you can't wear plate :).....

 

lol, luaghing at my stupidity for not catching that mistake. You know what i meant though. Thanks everyone, I'm feeling pretty confident now, may try it on the weekend. I just wanted to double check before i went there and lost full adamant..... Oh, and nerdattack16, thanks for the suggestion, I already have a strength ammy somewhere, maybe i'lll get a power ammy though. May Saradomin excuse me for actually taking off my holy symbol for the first time in months. :lol:

[The Observer]

I think you will be able to do it. Just get a full inventory of lobsters and you should be fine.

[SedrikI]

I am sure u can do it :)

[rune256513]

Yes your ok to go. Would be easier with a rune weapon though.

 

 

 

Off Topic: 10th post lol

[ddaanniiellh]

For the people that said they did at a lower level...I believe they made Elvarg a bit harder now. I recently went to help a friend with it (Combat in high 50s) and he used over half inventory of sharks/lobs (mixed) fighting it in addy armor + rune scimmy. She seems to hit a lot more often and faster than other dragons.

 

 

 

But, I think you should be able to do it, just get a rune weapon, and if you really need, keep a friend nearby with more food that can trade them to you.

Unless it's changed you can easily mage him from safe spots.

i saw i video with a lvl 8 maged him on youtube, but idk link

[Goobore]

... I'm looking for some positive reassurance, and some advice on if i'll be able to kill Elvarg....

 

Your stats look fine to me.

 

 

 

... if you think I need strenght potions,

 

Definately get a strength potion.

 

Limpwort roots for hobgoblins and red spider egg spawn plus 5 gold.

 

They are so easy to make you might as well stock up on a bunch

 

for regular training.

 

 

 

Also, you might try a Strength ammy or Power ammy

 

instead of the Holy symbol.

 

 

 

At the moment, I'm alittle short on cash, but I'm saving up for Rune armour.

 

Well, a full load of Iron ore is worth about 2800 gp.

 

A full load of coal is worth about 4900 gp.

 

So, do a bit of mining to finance better gear.

 

 

 

If you think that I should wear full Rune to Crandor,

 

Well, better gear will make it a bit easier.

 

You could replace the Addy sword with a Rune scimmy.

 

 

 

...I don't wanna die

 

First, go through the secret door so that you can return, easily,

 

to Crandor Island at any time.

 

Second, bring Teleport runes just in case.

 

 

 

I was thinking a full invetory of Lobsters,

 

Yeah, lobsters are fine.

 

 

 

You'll do OK

 

 

 

Hope this helps

[SomeWelshGuy]

You will do it fine. Seriously, you will find it very easy. A few strength potions, lobsters, and put the strength prayer on and you will be fine. Also, are you a member?

[Doomster]

If you can only afford one rune piece, make it a Scimitar or longsword, and yes, go with the silverlight against the Lesser, if you don't have a rune weapon.

 

 

 

I'd also be inclined to carry an escape tele - the Skull sceptre is the best, as it is only one space, though the higher level piece drops are a challenge.

[Championfurydelta123]

1. Do you think I'd have any problems at all doing Melzar's Maze with full inventroy of Lobsters? It's the lesser DEmon that concerns me, should i take silverlight?

 

 

 

Quote:No do not take a silver light hmm full iventory lobsters I'm like 90% you can do it but youll need some room for the keys...

 

 

 

2. If I need a rune weapon, should I get a rune longswrod, or a rune scimitar? I just want the one that kills the best.

 

 

 

Quote:I dunno about rune long but I used rune scimmy and I'll recommend it...

That's it for now, thanks again.

[ddaanniiellh]

Has anyone checked the safespot in there....i think its different in its "cavern" now, it used to be a cage.

 

~Ddaanniiellh

[Doomster]

The Rune Scimitar is generally reckoned to be better than the Long...

 

 

 

The long has:

 

Slightly higher slash attach and strength, much more stab (controlled style) attack, and is sold at the champions guild.

 

Disadvantage: Only a medium speed weapon.

 

 

 

The Scimitar has:

 

Higher speed, it's the strongest of the fast weapons.

 

Disadvantage: No F2P store, so must be bought from other players unless you have very good smithing.

 

 

 

There are only two reasons not to use a Scimitar:

 

1. You can't be bothered with the chaotic trade worlds.

 

2. You want to train in controlled (all melee stats) style.

 

If you really want a stab attack, then the dagger or short sword are better for that.

 

 

 

Other weapons:

 

 

 

Rune Mace - for a little prayer bonus, but the mace is not a great weapon.

 

 

 

Rune B-axe - SLOW, powerful but so SLOW, though its alternative crush attack has some advantage against plate armour.

 

 

 

Of course, the 2 Hander is a total non-starter against Elvarg, without the shield, you will be toast.

 

 

 

 

 

The Scimitar's strength is its speed, not the power of each attack, but the rate, as fast as a dagger, so a miss with a Scimmy is not as big a loss as a miss with a weapon that strikes harder, but less often.

[Foreverneverever]

Fighting boots? They lower your stats -.- DO NOT USE THEM!

 

You should be fine with those stats, but bring some rune! And lobsters are recommended.

[meol]

Your stats seem quite fine, but you should use a rune weapon against the dragon (a scimitar is your best option), you don't really need protection prayers, but if you feel like it, getting 43 prayer makes both fights extremely easy. Also, strength pots aren't necessary, but they are very useful for the fights. In my opinion, you should bring rune helm and legs to the island (along with a rune weapon), so that you'll protect them if you die. The rest of the armour and your inventory seems fine, but you should a teleport in order to get out quickly after killing the dragon, or before the dragon/demon kills you

 

 

 

1. You'll do fine with that, but try to save up food for the last fight. Silverlight is better than an addy weapon, and cheaper than a rune weapon (if you get killed, you'll have to pay 600 gp instead of 25k+, so I'd take it.

 

2. If you are going to get a rune weapon, (which I highly recommend), I'd suggest you to use a scimitar, as it provides a nice speed-strength ratio.

[Bloodredsword]

Those stats are fine..I did it with far lower stats and I was in hysterics before I fought Elvarg :P (not really)

 

 

 

just bring a stre pot and the rest of your invent lobs

 

 

 

 

 

And you probably won't even use all the lobs :)

Not anymore. She'll use her long-range firebreath. With mage and range, it's best to not use a safespot at all, as her melee attack is weaker.

[Rollyboy]

Ranging or maging elvarg is a lot harder now. Her attacks are more swift. Before the update you could range/mage elvarg from a safe spot, using the method of hit and run - with minimal damage experienced.

 

However the updated version is much more faster. The second you go out to attack, elvarg shots a long range fire-breadth.

 

 

 

However, it should be noted, that the same safe spot will most likely be un-usable. Safe spots are only obtained by maneuvering around the edges, so that somehow Elvarg will get stuck and will not be able to use long range firebreath.

 

 

 

Finishing Dragon slayer with low stats is still possible. I had 1 def 40 range and 66 strength at the time. Using range only (bronze bolts) i was able to finish Dragon Slayer with two invents of lobsters (using the secret door is a must if you think you wont be able to defeat Elvarg the first time).

 

 

 

With your stats it shouldnt be a worry. So good luck.

I'm not sure about that. I tele'd out after killing it, without going through the wall, but much later I do was able to go to Crandor through the passage.
