konzserwas Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Inventory: 12 pray pots (4) 3 antifire pots (4) 3 super attack and super strenght (4) a dds 1-click teleport 1k gp bronze axe 1 shark for emergency EDIT: made a crazy typo at potions :twss: Equipment: proselyte or initiate plate and legs black mask>warrior helm anti-dragon shield or dfs Whip>dragon longsword (NOT a scimitar, as they're weak to stab attacks.) choose the rest by what you ussually use. just remember: attack bonus is MUCH more important than strenght bonus and you won't need defense bonuses at all Strategy: drink antifire pot, put on potect from melee, deal damage few times with a dds to poison and switch to main weapon. Rinse and repeat. It should take you 2 trips to finish that task Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123_x_pac Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 I don't want to sound mean or anything, but I would recommend 75+ to melee them. I'd just skip them until you get higher.

baileydafrog Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 dont listen to last guy, dunno about melee as i dont really use it, but you can easy range or mage em at that level, just need antifire pots antifire shield and some range potions, they don't melee you if you attack them from distance, as long as you have your potion still orking you'll be fine, just watch out while they are still aggressive they can hit hard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinguimmaiden Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 NEVER skip iron/steel/mith/bronze dragons task, they are awsome task....if you dont have enought melee stats to melee them that not means you cant do task... Mage or range them if you are having problems with meleeing them :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Jay99 Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 my guide pwnt. should b added as a metal drag hunting guide. all I need is screenies Nah, it wasn't that good. You didn't mention pure sets, took a wrong ppot/antifire ratio, the sharks aren't needed as your hp will recover naturally, range pots should be brought when ranging and the grammar sucks lol. Not trying to bring you down, but it's not a great guide either. Anyway, you seem to be alright melee'ing them. /slightly off topic post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
