Solo KBD on slayer task outfit?

[Erichermit]

I want to solo the KBD for my 60 black dragon's slayer task. I don't want to argue about this, don't suggest another method, I want to do this.

 

 

 

What would be the optimal (preferably melee) setup for me? My combat stats are as follows:

 

 

 

90 Attack

 

92 Strength

 

89 Defense

 

90 Ranged

 

71 Prayer

 

84 Magic

 

 

 

93 HP

 

79 Summoning

 

 

 

 

 

I have a Slayer Mask and Dragonslayer gloves, so using those together results in a VERY hefty strength and attack bonus for me against the KBD. I also have a Dragonfire Shield and a Whip.

 

 

 

Im unsure as to what to wear in all the other spots besides Head , Gloves and Shield. Im also unsure as to what familiar to bring.

 

 

 

Your advice is appreciated.

Black mask

 

Fury

 

Fire cape/Trimmed Skill cape/Obsidian Cape

 

Prossy Top/Initiate Top

 

Prossy legs/Initiate legs

 

Dragon boots

 

Ring of wealth/berserker ring/Warrior ring

[Unknown_Warrior]

I would suggest Karil's over Proselyte. KBD still has a non-blockable mage attack.

[Erichermit]

Yeah, Im torn between Karils and Proselyte.

 

 

 

What would the item setup and familiar be too though?

[toast647]

I would suggest Karil's over Proselyte. KBD still has a non-blockable mage attack.

 

 

 

Have you even tried soloing KBD?

 

I get 20 solo kills with unicorn with initiate (because I hate quests and don't feel like getting prossy). I tried soloing with karils and only got 7.

I've solo killed the KBD 70+ times.

[Inuashakent]

70+ Times is very little... Proselyte is definetely better.

[Erichermit]

Thank it, it would seem proselyte is the way to go.

 

 

 

How about familiars? Titan? Tortoise? Some kind of combat familiar? Bunyip?

[toast647]

When I solo I bring just unicorn, and like 5 free spaces because I don't even need the sharks. I'd bring like a terrorbird with like 5-10 sharks or something and a bunyip

[Inuashakent]

I would personally bring a Unicorn, but Lava titans or BoB are good if you don't have one.

 

 

 

[hide=Summoning guide]The other dragon viable for charms! The other is Skeletal Wyverns. If you get a Black dragon task, remember that this is a great option! These also drops Black dragonhides and bones, giving constant profit. Also, these drops the highly sought Dragonic visage! You could either go with a team or solo, but I will recommend solo. This is because lootshare worlds are packed with newbs. The thing I love about the King black dragon (From now on going to be dubbed KBD) is that there are MANY methods to kill them, and Ill be covering most of them! (Yay!)

 

But before that, I will be discussing how to get there. There are many choices, but I will be covering the best methods.

 

1) Requires 96 Magic (92 with Magic potion) Do not use a Wolpertinger to teleport, although regular potions works fine. This is because you will have to sacrifise Beasts of Burdens. You will be at the Ice platue next to Ice giants, so run south east. This is EXTREMELY fast, but you must be on Ancient magicks, with the spell Ghorrock teleport. (2 Laws, 8 waters. 2 inventory spaces consumed)

 

2) Lava titans. Though they dont require a hefty Magic level, they arent as close and you cant use a Beasts of burden! Although this is overall bad, it does have its merits. You can now have much inventory spaces if you decide to summon a Beasts of burden familiar (Bad idea though, since a Unicorn/Bunyip is better.) Walk along the Lava maze. So this doesnt really have a bunch of good points, except the banking is much quicker than method 3.

 

3) This is a more recent method, but definitely good. Teleport to Bounty hunter using your Games necklace, and walk a little southeast to a portal. Keep randomly teleporting around until you get to the one next to the King black dragon. This replaced the old method, which was using the Ardougne lever, and walking all the way to the King black dragon. (as this current one has no requirements as well)

 

 

 

OMG A REVENANT!

 

 

 

Pushover, seriously. Revenants are as stupid as a rock, literally. They dont know how to *walk around* obstacles. Seriously, abuse their stupidity. They can teleblock you, which is the most annoying thing they can do. Besides that, they have the ability to deal damage and freeze you. Just run south and eat, while praying range (They freeze with this, not their mage!). When you exit the wilderness, your teleblock will dissipate, allowing you to rebank and retry. Or, the second option is if you are next to a tree or a obstacle, trap them, log off, and switch worlds.

 

 

 

/Revenants, lol.

 

 

 

Ok, now were there, past the annoying obstacles Jagex calls Revenants. What now? Well, you should see many lesser demons. Pot up, go down the ladder, and pull the lever in the room with Poisonous spiders. (Note that if youre teleblocked, you cant go into the KBDs lair.) What you do once your inside depends on the route you decided to take. If you decided to kill them in a team, this is what you do.

 

 

 

First, go in. You and your team should be ready, potted up and praying. Unlike the newer bosses in Runescape, this one doesnt lock onto one target. This means itll keep twirling around, (It looks like an idiot while doing that, lol.) and attacking random targets. If you decided to bring a Godsword, itll be tough for you. Only do this with a team. Pray range, and pot up your Anti fire potion. Theyre max hit isnt that high, but watch your hp and your prayer. If you decided to go with a team with standard melee and a (Anti)dragonfire shield, itll be simple. Just whack away. Same applies for range. Yeah, going with a team is easy.

 

 

 

(Range, solo and team)

 

Head: Armadyl > Robin> God coif

 

Amulet: Fury > glory

 

Top: Karils > Black d hide

 

Bottom: Karils > Black d hide

 

Weapon: Rune X bow

 

Shield: Anti dragonfire shield (You lose range attack with a Dragonfire shield)

 

Cape: Avas accumulator

 

Boots: Rangers > Snakeskin

 

Ring: Archers > Exploreres

 

Quiver: Ruby/Diamond

 

 

 

(Melee, solo and team)

 

 

 

Head: Slayer mask > Neitiznot > Berserker

 

Amulet: Fury > Amulet

 

Top: Proselyte > Monk robes

 

Bottom: Proselyte > Monk robes

 

Weapon: Whip

 

Shield: Dragonfire shield > Anti dragonfire shield

 

Cape: Fire cape > Trimmed skillcape > Obsidian/Untrimmed skillcape

 

Boots: Dragon boots

 

Ring: Berserker ring > Explorers ring > Warrior ring

 

 

 

Now if you solo, its a different story. I will be going more in depth for this one, as there is more to cover. Dont use a godsword here, youll be getting hit too constantly and theres nobody to bless your grave if you happen to meet a revenant while trying to retrieve you grave. If you use a whip, its pretty simple as well. Make sure you use piety. Try to empty out your Beasts of burden as soon as possible, especially if youre using a Titan/Unicorn! (Bunyip too) They have a hefty defence, so dont expect too much kills per trip.

 

 

 

If you range, its almost the same as melee. Use 10% range prayer, and Protect from mage. If you use Ruby bolts for the dragons first half life and Diamond for the second half, youll be getting kills pretty quick. Probably only passed by melee if you are on a Slayer task.

 

 

 

However, soloing comes with its downfalls. Not only do you get less kills per trip, but you can get crashed! If you do happen to get crashed, try to fight them back. Thats what I do (although Im 133 combat during the time this was typed) Give him all you got. Repot, piety, and unleash your specials. Try to make the guy switch worlds. However, if you just cant, retreat to a corner of the room. The KBD should focus on the crasher as long as you dont attack it. Same goes if your in a team. (Although if you have a good team, this probably wont happen)[/hide]

Thank you, that excerpt from you guide was quite helpful.

 

 

 

Please note that I only have 79 summoning, thus I cant summon a Lava Titan or Unicorn. A Ice/Fire/Moss Titan is like a mini-Unicorn, so maybe I should bring that?

Taking a titan to any situation where you won't use the full time seems wasteful to me, but I don't solo KBD often and have no idea how long trips last. I would take a t bird stuffed with sharks and a bunyip IF the trip will last less than an hour.
