llamster Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 http://www.truthscape.com/html/ts_MithrilDragonGuideAdvancedVeracsTechniquewithPiety.htm Outdated, but very good. EDIT: Your stats are way too low. Ah, this reminds me about the noob on the Runescape forums who was upset with the quest "Cold War" because apparently his grandparents died in the war. :wall: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toast647 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 You could do it or use a GS, but your stats are on the low side Come to #tip-it on Swift IRC, if you're cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vleademir Posted September 21, 2008 Author Share Posted September 21, 2008 Yes I see that. I'm going to stick to ranging them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Returnofmic Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Of course, you could give it a go, and see how it works out. There are lots of guides and videos on youtube (including one by me \http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gg5QsGc4Pwk) 138 Combat as of Summer 2010 - Retired Summer 2010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirTommy2005 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I could maybe get 4 kill per trip at my lvl with veracs, be sure to use stab. (Lol stabbing with a flail). Its just hoping he doesn't spaz you with fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just hoping he doesn't spaz you with fire. At those stats i got 6 kills with mele+no summon. Whip+shield. So verac fails. Cause: 1: If you got bad connection: You will get toasted and die a cruel death. 2: When you have distance from dragon: it will use distance attacks (Fire breath is one of them). 3: Hitting 30-48 With Fire breath uses up your food easy 4: Healing Familiars: nearly keep up with the Mithrildragons Magic damaging for me. So that says how good it is using Summons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llamster Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I get 8 kills with whip... havent tried leafbladed sword or d long yet though Both the d long and leaf bladed sword are better than a whip, and all three are inferior to ruby/diamond bolts.

So that says how good it is using Summons. You're forgetting that Verac's can kill mithril dragons incredibly quickly. Even though you have to bank more often it's still probably the fastest method of killing them, and much faster than a whip. And haven't you ever heard of Protect from Mage? Or anti-fire potions?

SirTommy2005 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Yes I have tried the combo mage and anti-fire, but the dragon's breath ignores the mage prayer and just the anti kicks in, maybe the fire is too intense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llamster Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Yes I have tried the combo mage and anti-fire, but the dragon's breath ignores the mage prayer and just the anti kicks in, maybe the fire is too intense. Mage protect doesn't affect how much the firebreath does. It used to, but Jagex fixed it like a year ago. The reason I mentioned it is because it protects you from the dragon's mage attack, which can do a lot of damage. You should read the guide I posted earlier. It was written before Summoning came out, but it has a lot of useful information.

Even though you have to bank more often it's still probably the fastest method of killing them, and much faster than a whip. And haven't you ever heard of Protect from Mage? Or anti-fire potions? I know about potions and protect from mage, but i don't know how much that helps you. I also know that Miths hit u around 20s with melee, so 30+ with fire breath and 20+ with melee= dangerous. Veracs does speed up the kills yes, and i haven't denied that. But it also speeds up your chance of dieing. So 2-3 secs of lag: can get you killed. The way there is not much, but you got only 5 mins: and if you lag or disconnected and die from mith dragons the chances that you will have lagg later (When you go to your grave) is not low. Your forgetting: some people love melee, and there is a great reason to it I heard you could only get 4-5 kills at Miths with melee ("-It is ineffective Sir"). But i went there myself and managed 6-7 kills often. As for Dragon long and leaf blade being better than whip: i disagree. At certain attack level (i would say 90), the whip works well. Veracs risk of dieing is very high. But it's not a thing someone with bad connection should choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star_Fox Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 No worth it, you take far too much damage. agreed. but the reason why this method was made is for faster kills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wioneo Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Magic protection prayer does help decrease fire damage. The fix was stopping the prayer from completely blockign it off, if i remember right.

anarchybix Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Range is BY FAR superior to melle even if you are full 99 across the board. Lately with my ranger set-up i can kill 8-11 dragons a trip and outstay any melee with 99 range. Veracs is total junk for metal dragons of any type... why do you think all guides say "bring anti fire if you want to live" On a side note, when your 99 range there is no point in bringing ruby bolts as you can get a max normal hit of 39 and a special of upto 43 with diamond... ruby hit a 50 once and you take damage. i kill alot more without ruby and extra slot for food too. dragon drops: 49 skirts, 42 legs, 3 left half shields, 2 dragon chains. 11 dragon medium helmsMy bloghttp://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?f=98&t=764001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
