Dragon Weapons

[BoD]

Hey guys so heres the deal, im getting close to 60 attack and i need to figure out which dragon weapon to stick with. Please post your favorite dragon weapon and you reason for choosing here and ill go with the most named weapon. Thanks

[justj2]

d long - fairly priced and hits well

 

d b axe - generally high hitter (not such a high hit rate though)

 

d scimmy - just awsome.... but (with the right seller and buyer) reasonable prices

[kwimbob]

For training: Dragon scimmy. You have to do monkey madness and buy it for 100k.

 

 

 

As a really good add-on and special attack get a dds which is around 50k. It's not good for training, with the added fact that you don't get exp from poison damage, but it's good to have, too.

what lvl combat do u recommend for monkey madness?

[Mat]

I've seen combat 50~ do it

[Italian5kamikaze]

do not attempt at 50 combat unless you are a pure...if your not a pure try it around 70-80 combat or else get d long and dds

[BoD]

bump...

[donutjunkie]

there is a post on the forums almost al lthe time asking help with monkey madness, so i assume it is a hard quest to do

 

d long is good and dds is good

 

but if u want to do monkey madness get a scimmy

[BoD]

my stats are horrible right now in combat. i couldnt even do the grand tree much less the fight arena. im just hoping a drag wep would give me an extra boost

[RexeN]

I strongly suggest you to get dragon long. Its a real pain to go and get dragon scimmy, i recommend you to be atleast combat 70 before trying.

monkey madness is real pain, get d long first, much more reliable, and a very decent special attack (d scimmy special is only useful in pking), excellent for the odd boss fights if you dont have a dds (which is again an excellent boss fight weapon)

 

 

 

do lost city first, because monkey madness has the nasty lv 180+ jungle demon for you to defeat, level a bit, certainly in prayer and ranged a bit more before venturing into this quest.

 

 

 

2 advices:

 

 

 

1. NEVER EVER forget a way to tele out, always have it just in case.

 

2. once you get a monkey greegree, the hard part 1 will be over

Since you asked so nicely I will list all the dragon weapons, their advantages and disadvantages and best uses.

 

 

 

Starting from cheapest to most expensive:

 

 

 

Dragon Dagger:

 

Advantages: Can be poisoned, fastest of all the dragon weapons, special attack hits twice.

 

Disadvantages: Has the lowest damage, poison does not give experience, it will hardly damage platewearers.

 

Best used: Use this whenever you are hunting be it treasure trails, players in the wilderness, dragons and more. Since it's the cheapest you should pick this in case you need to defend yourself for somewhere dangerous like the abyss.

 

 

 

Dragon Mace:

 

Advantages: First of the two dragon weapons with crush damage, boosts prayer power (like all maces), low-cost special.

 

Disadvantages: Pretty heavy and below average speed, special misses often.

 

Best used: Oddly enough, this is best used against anything with armour. The special ignores defence but misses frequently so if you can fix that you're set.

 

 

 

Dragon Longsword:

 

Advantages: Above average stats, relatively cheap special cost and fast.

 

Disadvantages: Nothing much to say here as the longsword is pretty default and can be used for anything. However, the "we have better" phrase applies to it.

 

Best used: Use this to train with it. It's a dragon-type longsword, the same kind of weapon you probably used before getting it to train with.

 

 

 

Dragon Scimitar:

 

Advantages: Above average stats, special blocks opponent's prayers for a set time, slightly faster than its longsword sister.

 

Disadvantages: This gets misused when training with it as it's clear the scimitar is meant for PvP.

 

Best used: As already mentioned, any scenario involving a fight with another player. The special, when it hits, blocks ALL prayers of the victim (monsters like the Kalphite Queen unconfirmed).

 

 

 

Dragon Battleaxe:

 

Advantages: Strongest one-handed weapon from the set, special alternative for super strength potions, very high damage, high strength boost, second dragon weapon to have crush damage.

 

Disadvantages: Particularly slower than the swords, tends to miss some hits, the special drains ALL your bar as well as lowers the other combat stats a little.

 

Best used: Not to disrespect longsword users, but this coupled with two certain potions makes it VICIOUS (I tore through full Dharok with three consecutive 25s). Another good weapon to train it and recommend to pures (if they do heroes quest).

 

 

 

Dragon Halberd:

 

Advantages: The strongest dragon weapon (90+ strength boost to start off), can hit behind obstacles, special hits large enemies twice.

 

Disadvantages: Two handed, VERY slow, borks out sometimes when fending off monsters.

 

Best used: As mentioned, this is the "ranged" melee weapon Jagex gave us with Regicide. Halberding is often used to fight difficult monsters from a distance without use of prayer. The special also hits large enemies like dragons and demons twice hitting high damage often and you can use it four times before waiting for a full charge.

 

 

 

Dragon Spear: Never tried.

 

Dragon Axe: Never tried.

 

Dragon 2-handed sword:Never tried.

 

 

 

Hope that helped a little.

Until youve done monkey madness the Battleaxe is great as the special really boosts your hits,Only problem is its quite slow

[Idarodo]
