steel dragons

[pulli23]

Well I'm wondering: what is the best way to kill steel dragons? - without super antifire potions, god sword/armour, or dragonfire shield access (with ring):

 

My relevant stats:

att: 86

str: 90

def: 89

hp: 91

range: 88

mage: 83

pray: 72

 

 

Options I have in mind:

-melee with whip + anti dragonshield (no prot pray?)

-melee with broad sword + anti dragonshield (no prot pray?)

-range with broad bolts + void

-range with black dhide

-mage with chaos gauntlets + fire bolt

-mage with fire surge

 

 

I don't mind loosing a bit of money (as long as it's manageable, like 1M) and I have to kill only 75 of them..

 

Thanks for any advise,

paul23

You mean steel DRAGONS, you said steel titans in your post :P

 

The best way to kill them is to skip the task :) or better yet, block it. But if you are adamant on doing it, the best method is Leaf-Bladed Sword.

Id go with LBS+antidragon shield, prayer is basically required here, with a unicorn, 99 def and max def gear, I cannot tank them effectivley, just bring ppots antifire pots and sup attack+strengths.

I found that whip is comparable to LBS on steels. And with your str and att being that high you'd probably have better results with the whip. I tried LBS for ages on tasks and then started using the whip. on LBS I'd average a full tort and bank before I needed to renew, with whip I can do 2 trips with the 1 tort. But s'up to you.

 

And Zaaps, why so hating? :P They're actually a fun and decent task in Kuras dungeon.

 

Oh and Pulli, as Aeil said, you can't tank them. The only way you can do that is with Extremes, 99 Def, Uni, and Soul Split. I watch people struggle doing it with anything less when I'm on tasks.

Well I want to kill them because I dislike the idea of being able to skip task for such a relative low "price".

 

Anyways: if I go meleeing, what kind of familiar would I take best? - Simply a fire titan (highest familiar I can take)?

War tortoise always or yak if you can. The tort allows you to make back alot of the money that you'll lose praying. It's also more efficient because you don't want to have to bank only killing a couple of drags. I can kill about 30 before I need to bank with a tort which is epic, and I make ~500K+ from the task. So not too bad.

Lol I take it you recommend keeping the bones then? - Well I'm not really into that: rather would do the whole task in 1 go (and I believe a war tortoise wouldn't stay the whole task -75-, would it?)

I most definitely recommend it! But no war tort would not last an entire task. I'm not too sure what familiar you can use then as Steel Dragons are not in anywhere multicombat...... Or do titans operate on the same basis of a cannon in single combat?

 

Anyways, if you can then cannon them in high wildy I'd say is the next best option. However again bones would be essential to make anything back.

 

Your choice :)

I never liked metals. Steels are the second slowest slayer task (before Miths, but those are assigned in such small numbers I might as well do them) and they never give me anything good :(

[qeltar]

In Kuradal's dungeon, using Turmoil and extreme potions, you can do an entire task of steels in under an hour, turning a tidy profit. That's faster than many other tasks.

[NastyJenny]

You should mage them with Fire Bolts, and a Terrorbird as familiar.

 

And BANK the bones, there is no reason trying to make a slow task like this a tiny bit faster.

I usually use whip + anti dragonfire sheild. The speed and the extra strength bonus kind of make the whip about the same as a leaf bladed sword. I usually just go for prayer bonus then, so proselyte top and bottom etc with anti fires, super attacks and super strengths.

[RangingRoy]

I love fighting steel dragons! I actually enjoy fighting them. They are ridiculously cheap and easy to fight.

 

Take a couple of pieces of food, 12 anti fire pots, 7 range pots, 1k broad bolts and whatever gear you want. You can poison them if you want.

 

Aim to kill 2 per dose of potion. Remember your alching runes.
