Iron vs steel dragons

Featured Replies

Im slaying the matal dragons and wounder. Does steel dragons drop visage and d.legs much more often or are they just harder to kill. anyone got any statistics?

Well I saw stats recently of someone who made a program to scan adventure logs. There was a link posted to the results of that scan somewhere on forum here and there were more visage drops from irons than from steel dragons.

Ofc there were no stats on how many irons/steels were killed, but I do think people prefer killing irons...

I had steel dragon tasks blocked for weeks now, but after going to kuradal I changed my list.

So in my case I've only killed about 200 steels and maybe 2k irons, so it would make sense if I get a visage from irons, because I never cancel that task.

I also think visage hunters prefer farming iron dragons since they're easier to kill -> more kills per trip -> more chance for a visage drop...

 

I've been unlucky so far with metal dragons: never gotten a decent drop... Especially not a dragon drop :(

Thanks alot. I go for iton then=)

No problem, I'd do the same... But if I just farm them in Crandor dungeon I just kill whatever attacks me.

I try to take a spot where 2 irons spawn but sometimes a steel will attack you anyway, don't bother running till irons attack you...

 

Good luck :)

I really want a visage as i already got 2 d legs. is mith dragons much harder to kill?

Yea mith dragons will hit you, no matter what. (opposed to no hits at all when you train at iron or steel dragons)

I've farmed about 100 mith dragons. They ask a lot of cash to invest each trip (anti fire pots & p pots) and when your ranged/def isn't very high you'll end up being hit alot...

I quit after 100 because I noticed I was losing money every trip and didn't end up with decent drops...

Ofc it's all about luck and I know people sometimes get a good drop after 5 kills but not here, so no... Go for irons :)

I think you didn't do it well :P I was making a lot of money while killing them (hadn't have the stats I have now :P)

 

You won't lose money while training at mithril dragons if you bank all bars and bones if you do it right. But I meleed them, rather than range because I hit better that way and always seemed to use less ressources doing so.

 

But if you're really hunting for a visage, you should either choose between KBD and ID

Another reason for why you should go for Irons instead of Steels:

If Steels dropped alot of Visages, you would see MANY players reporting about this. Take me as an example, i have not gotten a Visage of neither, and i have killed loads of both.

Not worth it unless you range, which would be rather slow.

His melee isn't too bad, if you take a full inventory (+ bob) of lobster (or monkfish) I think you can get a full inventory of hides and bones. I'd say he shouldn't take too much risk but give it a 50 killing spree shot and then checks his balance if it returns money or drains his bank.

With super antifire, ZS, and slayer mask, you could probably kill them. Otherwise don't bother.
