Hello everyone, as some of you may know, I'm working a bit on slayer (see sig).

 

 

 

I used to follow the Tip.it Iron/Steel dragon hunting guide before to melee these dragons but now that I bought guthan I wondered if there isn't a better method(not wasting pray pots).

 

 

 

I was thinking about killing them as I'd do normally (whip+dds+anti-dragon fire shield+) but instead of praying using guthan to heal when they start dealing some damage.

 

Inventory: a few anti-fire potions (like 4 or 5), super str pots (3 or 4), super attack pots (3 or 4), a few monkfish/sharks incase I can't heal on time, other spots for drops

 

 

 

Would this be better or won't I be able to heal on time? Or should I just use guthans all the time instead of my whip? (The drags are weak to stab attacks)

 

 

 

Need some advice of an experienced drag slayer[/code] :ohnoes:

Err Guthans on dragons? Don't consider it. Remember the spear is TWO handed, while you may have anti fire pots they are far from full protection and you will get hammered many times faster then you can heal, especially on metal drags. Also consider the few seconds between the time your pots run out and you re-pot, if you get hit in that period you have a good chance of being history.

 

Stick to whip and DDS (some argue that DDS is better to use as a main weapon over whip, I haven't tried the DDS method much though, just for specs), you should only be using one shark a trip anyway, the drops should cover your prayer potion use.

Can you simply be patient ?

 

Get the required cmb levels, be a mere herblorist (and farmer) to assume your pots (both prayer and antifire).

 

Read the guide and test it.

 

It is goes, you are ok and that is nice.

 

If not ?

 

Continue training and be back later.

 

But best advice : there is no urge to be able to camp there.

 

Once you'll be able, you will do it well and for the best (drops).

 

Until then, use the power of Guthan to train yourself.

 

 

 

Honestly i used slayer for combat (with Guthan ftw), while farming/herbloring. Those 3 brought me enough goods to camp there 30 hours non stop protected from both fire/melee. And this for free !!! All drops will be 100% cash incomes.

 

Moreover, this patience also allowed me to be able to come here stronger... and then more effective. That is a reward also to be considered.

 

 

 

Hope you'll understand.
