Dragon Slayer XP Question

[kripz]

If i do dragon slayer on my pure will i get defense xp?

 

 

 

18,650 Strength and 18,650 Defence xp.

 

Either Strength XP (18,650); either Defence XP (18,650) (if you fought in Defence mode)

[Lets_3ekout]

you'll get defence exp even if you fight on att/str :?

 

that's why most pures on f2p don't wear rune plate unless they want to get a little bit of defence.

[Doomster]

Absolutely! - the main point is to be able to wear RUNE PLATE.

 

 

 

The only kind of "pure" that this would be good for, is a "Rune pure" - and you would enter the quest with 33 defence, so the quest XP bumps you to level 40 (+/- a little). And that's more an efficient slugger than a pure.

 

 

 

I tried killing Elvarg in defensive (the old "XP to the other two stats" myth), and still got strength and defence.

 

 

 

The main drawback, is that while a full runer is harder for rangers and othe warriors to kill, it's a tasty target for a mage, with a lot to lose if skulled.

 

 

 

 

 

To sum up, Dragon slayer is only good if you have decided that full rune or full dragonhide is the way to go, or if you have a F2P mage pure that you want to convert to members splitbark armour (30 defence) - you'll go from 1 to 33, or from 33 to 40.

So if I beat the dragon with lv 35 def, I'll gain 5 levels and then be able to weild rune armour when im finished?

[Mauler109]

so if iwant a pure ranger but want to wear dhide there is no chance i wont lvl up my strength or attack?

[sigjicu0]

or you could train till your 100% fatigue and then kill him.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(making a joke because when i done it on rsc i had like 95% fatigue so i only got like 5k exp before it said i needed to use a sleeping bag)

[Gaelforcwynd]

Just find out how much of each type of XP you get for completing Dragonslayer and use the XP Table on this website to work out how low you should leave each Skill so that the XP you get from completing the quest brings you to your desired level in each one. If you intend on getting 43 Prayer eventually, try getting it before you complete Dragonslayer so that you can use Protect from Melee against Elvarg's hand to hand attacks. I'm not sure if Protect from Magic helps against her breath weapon. After you kill Elvarg and the XP reward you recieve brings your Attack and Defence levels to 40, you may then wield and wear Rune weapons and armour. Killing Elvarg shouldn't be too difficult even with full Adamant and an Adamant Scimitar. Take a couple of Strength Potions and 20+ Swordfish. Don't forget to bring an Anti-Dragon shield.

Good one, brings back memories of the good ol' days. Anyway i did it on rsc and i got def exp as a reward so im not sure now.

so if iwant a pure ranger but want to wear dhide there is no chance i wont lvl up my strength or attack?

 

 

 

nope, but if your ranging is high enough and you dont train your attack and strength from that point on, your attack and str wont come into your combat lv calculation

You won't get your attack up, but your strenght will indeed raise to level 33. If you want to be a good pure with the least amount of desfense needed, do the quest as soon as you get 34 def. You'll raise to 39 and it will be just a little until it gets 40.
