I've been doing black dragons for a bit. They are higher leveled dragons so I figured they have a higher drop rate. Plus they are close to a bank and have some great 100% drops. Am I right about this? Or is there something better?

kbd has best drop rate, but i would stick with black drags

By killing black dragons you are actually putting all your hopes on a rare visage drop, they don't drop anything else useful or worth alot. However if you kill iron dragons which are about the same def if not slightly more, you can stand a chance to get quite some bloods or some d drops along with chance of visage. So i personally feel irons are better. Don't do steels btw.

Irons leave everything up to chance, if I go without a dragon drop for to long I go broke on pots. Black Dragons are a steady 5k a kill. (About 3k if I use the bones myself). Plus they are afkable. I knew someone would mention irons, but I just don't like them. =/

Knowledgebase says "Draconic visages are rare drops from dragons (only adult black, iron, steel and mithril, and the King Black Dragon) and skeletal wyverns."

 

 

 

So....Black are probably "bottom o the barrel" so to speak.

 

 

 

Don't know about percentages, I know a fair few people that have got em from black dragons.

 

 

 

whichever you choose, Best of luck!

I killed over 400 irons with no drop and got bored.

 

 

 

KBD might be worth a shot now wildy is "safer". I hear you can solo it a good few times in one trip.

Not relevent: Are Metal drags better than 'normal' drags, like black, red, blue, green?

you can't get visage from red/green/blue dragons

Normally your blood drops should pay for the pots, but given the drop in blood rune prices, i'm not really sure if that still stands. You might try some methods of reducing pot costs, such as replacing pure sets with zammy brew, about 2-3k cash saved per replacement

better?

 

 

 

They're stronger if that's what you mean, they have better rare drops, they don't have as good 100% drops (except perhaps for mith, i don't know mith bar prices)

You still get enough money out of it to buy your pots, I like to do them as slay assignment: both steel and iron dragons.

 

 

 

Rune darts, rune limbs, rune throwing knives and bloods from 1 trip are most of the time enough to cover the cost for all your pots on the trip so you will end up with profit if you just fill up the remaining inventory space with dragon bones.

Seriously just go with whichever your comfortable with.. I've took 2 random trips to Black Dragons (As a break from Greaters), and I came back with 2 Visages.. and the total kill count of both trips was 10! Its completely random.

black drags imo

Nobody ever talks about Skeletal Wyverns. Anybody gotten one from them? I was thinking about giving it a try but was just going to wait to get a slayer assignment for them.

Iron dragons are the best thing to kill for a visage drop. The speed at which you can kill them is generally the same as black drags only they have more valuable drops. I mean I made a total of probably 250k-ish by alching my black drag drops, and I have killed over 500, possibly in the 6-7 hundred range. Still no visage, got a nice shiny addy plate tho :roll:

 

 

 

At least at irons I got a D skirt, rune limbs and blood/souls to pay for any costs I may have accumulated, and if worse comes to worse the d bones are there to help with pot costs. Also, if you are maging, anti fire pots dont cost alot anyway so why not kill irons.

Irons are best option imo.... If you mage or range you only pay 2k per pot..... The d bones dropped would cover the costs alone of using anti-fire pots and you could just range using bone x-bow.

well, steels imo, I've heard mithrils are good

They're just incredibly awkward (and expensive) to kill, you'd be better off with some kind of drag.
