Mith Drag [Edit]

[Hiierarch]

Is it easy to break even with mith drags? and should I try it with only 75 defence?

if you have it as slayer task use slayer helm/black mask and melee them

Based on what I've heard about them the guide on Tip.it isn't very good.

 

 

 

The best melee weapon to use is a leaf-bladed sword, second best would be the dragon longsword. Ranging is faster than melee but is more expensive. High levels can make profit easily but you'd probably have a tough time.

i doubt you could break even with it unless you get lucky

If you melee and save the dragon bones I'm sure it'd be pretty close.

Where did you find that information at? There is no way a leaf-bladed sword is best to use. The whip is far better.

Not at miths. It's like a non-crush weapon at waterfiends. It's not accurate enough, due to their high slash defense.

Depends, really. I use a whip on slayer tasks there and with a slayer helm and dragon slayer gloves, it's all the accuracy I could possibly need. If I use all four dds specs on the first dragon, I usually won't be able to get a 2nd dds spec on the second mith dragon, so it's plenty fast.

 

 

 

I can't talk much for killing them without a slayer task though, bit of a waste of time unless your bored IMO.

Qeltar claims that the d long is better than a whip, and anyone with half a brain can see that the leaf-bladed sword is better than the dragon longsword.

[ilovecardj]

I kill almost 2 miths with leaf sword in the time it takes to kill 1 with a whip. This is at maxed stats potted and piety on slayer tasks.

It still helps. I miss like crazy at 98 attack with helm\gloves on task with a whip. I've found that ranging still kills them considerably faster. I'll have to try the spear.

Woot Leaf, finally people who understand. After spamming it for weeks now

[ilovecardj]

Indeed. Ive used leaf at miths for months now and its definately the best melee weapon to use their.

 

 

 

Leaf sword vs whip at miths is like zammy spear vs dscim at waterfiends lol. dont use a whip

[Assassin1357]

Looks like I stand corrected. I apologize. I assumed that since the stats were higher it would be better but I never actually tested it.

[Hiierarch]

I definitely plan on ranging, with 93 range. So, should I try it or no?

You'll make money, but it's slow and bad XP. I'd recommend something else, like Avansies, for money.

[Hiierarch]

I'm not necessarily in it for quick money, just the chance at a Dragon Full Helm or a Visage. But do the lesser uncommon drops, like rune and runes add up enough to make it worth camping there? Especially at my low defense level, I only have 75. Thanks so far, by the way.

Weeks? I thought it was common knowledge that metal dragons were weak to stab attacks.

 

People started using leaf-bladed sword ever since it came out so if anything, you're the one whos barely found this out. :-#

 

 

 

I suggest you work on your defense a little more, 93 range is pretty good though.

Would 80 defense be a better option, is there that significant of an increase in defense between 75 or 80? My big concern really is just breaking even with it.

[Lets_3ekout]

Defence level isn't as important as mage level there, because you should be tanking mage no matter what method you use. You should never hunt for visages or DFH, they're just too rare, most people end up burning out and regret ever trying it. If you're ranging it is likely that you will break even. If you pick up their mith bar drops you might make a very small profit. Not worth camping there.

[Hiierarch]

With 85 mage, would they still hit too hard? As it seems, Mith drags aren't a good option for drop hunting eh?

[Nel Tu Oderschvank]

Unless you are really lucky, then no. They drop 3 mith bars everytime(?) + Dragon bones and in the end i dont think it pays for the potions/food you are going to use. I think I can only kill a max of 3 (haven't really tried with Leaf-blade sword) but it's usually 1 and a half to 2... I did it without supersets though; just the normal type of potions. Didn't buy any of them, made them all myself. Sharks I got them all from treasure trails.

 

 

 

Perhaps I haven't killed enough of them to give better opinions but so far it just doesn't feel good enough for me :XD:

 

 

 

Range attacks are 'stab' attacks so its alright I guess.

I wont say significant but it will help although as philip said mage levels help a lot more.

[Hiierarch]

Alright guys, thanks very much for the advice.

[Perakp]

Personally I range them with diamond and ruby (e) bolts, full inv of monkfish, 9 doses of pray pot and 3 doses of antifire pot, ending up with 6-7 kills = 18-21 mithril bars, 6-7 dragon bones and usually enough blood runes and rune baxes to atleast cover the costs. The charm drops are great.

 

 

 

With high prayer levels (80+) I think it'd be possible to kill 2-3 per trip without using prayer potions and only needing food, that would get nice profits but also slow the killing rate.

 

 

 

I'd suggest having atleast 90 or 95 range and defence before camping them
