mbrun Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 When you get assigned metal dragons, its just better to go to Burthorpe and get a new one? For as long as it takes to kill a metal dragon, and the quality of the drops, it is better to just pass I say, I burned up so many runes just to kill 17 bronze dragons. All I got was some Addy Stuff. Use over 200 chaos and death runes casting fire blast. Didn't even go up one level in magic or slayer. Give me Basilisks any old day. Lesser Demons are okay but take forever. Now I have a century of Fire Giants to kill - at least it finally got me to do Waterfall Quest. What are your observations? Barrows Drops: Guthan's platelegs and War Spear, Dharok's plate body and Great Axe, Verac's Flail, Verac's Helm x 2, Ahrim's top, Dharok's plate legs Dragon Drops: Medium Helm x 4, Shield Left Half, plate legs x 2, skirt x 2.

Makoto_the_Phoenix Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Black mask + High grade armour vs. Bronze Dragons = Easy task. Black mask + Prayer potions + Super set vs. Iron/Steel = Easy task.

Dharockslayer Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 When using chaos runes.. your basicly burning away cash. With prayer pots + black mask. One is more likely to get a dragon leggings/skirt. With less cost Interrested in joining the cabbagy madness?

Stephen9o3 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Ive only done a metal drag task once, I melee'd them. It wasn't too bad. Its good to do if you have some time to waste and feeling a little bored. The chance of a dragon drop is also nice :) As far as time efficiency goes, it's probably better to skip metal drag tasks.

bflitny1 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 I'm with jack. The time to exp ratio is way too low, however when you're bored and you're not lagging, it can be fun, and it's not difficult to kill bronze's IMO, but iron and steel are harder with melee, so they aren't worth it ever IMO Drops: Barrows: 60+ DK: 4... Dragon: 60+ Whips: 2... GWD: 0...ouch!Main Goal: 2000 total with no 99's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sessie Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 They even give 5% bonus exp, they are easy to slay with mask and prayer and you have a lot more action than slaying most other monsters. I always enjoy slaying metal dragons, thats probably why i have 5000 rune javelins banked :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wakka102 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 i always burhrope metal dragon tasks, there too slow.

Blaze The Movie Fan Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 I hear many complains about not doing slayer on metal dragons, and it all makes me wonder if I'm the only one that doesn't skip it or one of the less than 50% of people that doesn't skip it. :-k If you want help fighting them with ease check my signature.

Thatonedude Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Well im assigned iron drags right now and wanted to skip them. When I asked for a new task the fairy told me that I still was not done with the drags so I couldn't. How do you skip tasks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blizaga57 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Don't complain, I had 127 iron dragons to kill as my first task the day slayer came out. This meant no whips, no black masks, no burthroping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This meant no whips, no black masks, no burthroping. I had 115 Bronze dragons, seeing as there's only 3 a server and were about 10 people a server trying to kill them. I managed to kill them within about 2 hours somehow, got me to 30 slayer. Iron dragons would have been easy as there's loads of them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dexek Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 How do u get the black mask? Excuse my ignorance. I just have the usual melee stuff, full rune, beserker helm, ammy of glory and ring of wealth. Cave Horrors (lvl 58 slayer) drop black masks. They can also be attained by trading with another player. I believe the price is around 400k. Black masks increase Att + Str 15% for your slayer task. They also have the ability to make your opponents defense drop. The defense dropping is based on the charges of the mask. You have (10) charges, which can take place anywhere at any time, not only on slayer tasks. Black masks can not be recharged, however even at (0) charges, the Att + Str bonus still applies. :roll: PoetryIndexed Picture 1Indexed Picture 2 Killed my maxed Zerker pure April 2010 Rebooting Runescape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. I've never skipped a slayer task. Ever. I never understood why people don't kill them. They're good mage experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whizkid338 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I've never gotten them, but I find maging them a waste of time. With proper equipment meleeing them is much easier.

Icingdeath Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I rarely get good assignments anymore. I miss those trolls, basilisks, fire giants, and harpie bug swarms (okay, I just liked the ridiculous amount of fire staffs I got from them). I really wouldn't call it an era. It was more of a definitive time period during which dinstinctive characteristics were expressed in similar ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
