Guide to ranging Blue Dragons

[TreasonWall]

Opening

Hello & welcome to my guide on Ranging Blue Dragons. The main reason people choose to kill blue dragons is for their bones and hide,

each kill nets you a total of $6,150 per kill. In this guide, I will be explaining the method that I use at Blue Dragons to make my money,

which can easily make 1m+ a day. This method is very safe and the only time you should ever take damage is if you are running

to pick up drops or a baby dragon wanders over and attacks you.

 

Requirements

 

- 60 Ranged

- (Rune) xBow + Anti-Dragon Shield

- Falador Teleport Tablets OR Runes

- Dusty Key (If you do not have a key, don't worry, I'll explain how to get one later.)

- Iron > Broad/Mithril Bolts. (Any higher than Mithril/Broad will hinder your profit too much)

 

Items to take

 

- Simply the best ranged gear you can wear.

- Lumbridge Explorer Ring is reccomended for the run recharges.

- If you do not feel confident, take 1 or 2 lobsters, the dragons also drop Bass so there isn't much of a worry for health.

~ I reccomend that you take a dragon dagger to quickly kill off any babies that may attack you.

Your inventory & Equips should look something like this.

 

 

Getting There

 

We will be using the Taverly Dungeon, to get there, run from Falador or follow the map below.

 

 

Once inside work your way to the dragon area, if you do not have a Key, follow the instructions on the map shown below.

 

 

Ranging the dragons:

 

Once inside the dragon area, run to the opposite sides and stand in the area with the stalagmites and dragon egg.

This is your safe spot, all three of the dragons that spawn in the dungeon can be safely shot from here.

The only problem with standing here is that babies will approach & attack you.

Take a look at the picture below for more details on where to stand.

Note: You receive roughly 5k Ranged experience per run.

 

 

The Loot:

 

As mentioned earlier, you'll be getting atleast 6k per kill, the dragons also drop assorted runes, herbs, key & shield halves & Level 3 Clue Scrolls.

Refer to this picture as for what items you should be picking up.

 

 

You should be gaining at least 70k per run, this is with just hides & bones.

Here is a picture of a recent run with only bones and hides.

 

 

 

Time

 

The amount of time that it will take you to complete a run will vary depending on your ranged level, gear & bolts.

As long as you have level 60 ranged, you should be able to kill them fine.

 

Closing

 

This brings my guide to an end, I'm not exactly sure why, but I just decided that I'd turn my money making method into a guide.

I hope you enjoy slaughtering Blue Dragons & best of luck with your drops. ~ The Treason Wall

dude, climb accross the crumbling wall that's to the west of fally west bank. i havent ranged blue drags in over a year and i still remember this :thumbsup:

[TreasonWall]

Totally slipped my mind..

What Agi level does it require?

[SAGE]

5 agility if I recall.

Little error I found: in the part where you say "iron - brutal/mithril", you say brutal instead of broad.

[TreasonWall]

Yeah I fixed that one up :P

 

Need to put more effort in next time methinks.

The ogre dungeon is far better, it's a lot less crowded and has more spawns. Thought if you haven't done the quest, it's worth doing so, but if you don't want to then Taverly is still good...

Taverly is better if you have 70 agility, otherwise Gutannoth is better as you said.

FYI, when you are ranging Dragons then Darts > All.

Nice guide for those who don't have access to the Ogre Enclave. You might add that having a beast of burden makes you stay longer and bank more bones and hides per trip.
