Iron dragon task

Featured Replies

I finally unblocked iron dragons and Kuradal was super nice enough to give me some to kill. :rolleyes: What's the faster way to kill them: mage or melee? I'm going to be in Kuradal's dungeon.

 

Stats - attack, strength, defense, magic, prayer, summon, LP are 99

 

Melee gear - prossy, LBS, FSH, d boots, super antifires. rune defender, glory, barrows gloves, ferocious ring

 

Mage gear - mystic, SOL, fire surge, infinity boots, rest is same as above

get a z spear, and that will be much faster then mage.

Melee is probably even still faster with LBS

Even if your surging i believe melee has a slight advantage,

Used to hate iron tasks, now I just piety + melee prayer and "afk". Works fine for me :)

I believe that a whip is better than LBS, especially at your att lvl; either way melee will probably still be faster especially without a stream necklace.

I don't know why people say lbs is faster and better trough

 

I tested 200 kills without potions prayer or slayer gear on 200 irons, 200 blacks and 200 steels and on every occassion my whip did more dps.

 

Am i missing something?

 

Edit: I was also faster at killing irons than a lv 138 with zammy spear which was just like me testing and not using potions nor slayer gear (excl super antifires duh)

To many variables for you to be comparing to a random 138.

Well, I'm going in with the zs and prayer gear. Feels so weird to not have the anti dragon shield. :ohnoes:

Whip isn't that good. It can't overpower a 138 using Z Spear, Pots, Slayer helm on task

Dungeoneering isn't a skill.

I'm faster than bots at Sorceress Garden.

PM me if you want to chat. My PM is always off.

My keyboard is on fire. Want some?

As said, use melee with a d-spear and super-antifires. It's worth turmoiling or pietying and using the best offensive potions at your disposal as well. Just don't let that super antifire rune out :thumbup:

If you use unicorn + prossy top/verac skirt + piety you could tank them too.

 

Unless you'd rather use pack yak to bank the bars/bones
