normanbiggs Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 That is the question! metal dragons, do you change them or stick with them when assigned for slayer? Personally i do them, its the only time i get mage experience other than teleing or alching. If you keep them how do you fight them I use ahrims and mage them :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henk333 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 I never Burthorpe Irons since they lowered the quantity and made the slayer mask. They're so easy to melee now, I can do a 56 task in 1 trip easily. I sometimes Burthorpe steels, sometimes I mage them, I tried to melee them once, that didn't really work out. Haven't played RuneScape since 12 january 2007 and it feels great :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rft Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 I never burthorpe bronzes (but I dont seem to get them very often at the moment). I tend to avoid irons/steels (I'll probably do them at 110 combat) as my attack doesnt seem to be high enough. I tend to melee them in full rune, dfire shield/pots, superset and 15-20 monkfish. This lasts me (including my prayer) about 20-25 dragons with no prayer pots. Some people prefer to wear proselyte and a have a pile of prayer pots. With a superset and plenty of antifire potions, you can stay down there for ages.

bigmoneyak Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 buthorpe all metals. 1 mistake with gear or lag can wipe out any potential profit you think you might get from them. Not time or cost effective at all. Some of the slayers in my guild think otherwise. But I myself skip all metal drags.

m4tty Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 steel/iron killing can be fun sometimes, but i am never in the mood for it when i get them for slayer, but bronzes are pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellbellz Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 I hate all metal drags. I know I'd die if I did. I just Burthrope 'em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocacolabottle Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Depends on my mood, I usually skip em but if it's like 15~ of em and I have some leftover prayer pots I do them. 99 Slayer since August 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stan18 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 i miss the 150+ iron drag tasks; i maged those all the time. I melee irons now, though, and ~40 isn't enough i also mage steels when i get them, buthropeing is usually really frustrating and takes almost as long as a 15 steel dragon task Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HatshepsutLecter Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 The only metal dragon that I have the courage to take on right now are the bronze ones. I don't usually Burthorpe them anymore. I do change all of the iron tasks that I get though. I am too much of a chicken to try them out. :P The Internet: where men are men, women are men, and children are the FBI.First Dragon Drop 5/6/2006 -Dragon Med from Bronze Dragon :DFirst Barrows Item From Chest 2/20/2007 - Verac's Brassard :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golvellius Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 I do them with pleasure. They have better drops than abyssal demons. The fact that they can kill you keeps it entertaining. :XD: Exclusive Legacy Mode Player He just successfully trolled you with "courtesy" and managed to get a reaction out of you.

Artemis_42 Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Personaly I burthrope all metal dragon tasks. If they didn't requre you to use antifire pots I would do them. However they cost too much and I've never had much luck with them.

Wrench_150 Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 I burthope all of them, except bronze sometimes if i'm close to them, otherwise I get lazy and burthope them. Isn't worth it to waste money maging and get nothing back and little slayer xp when you could have burthope and gotten more in less time. 99 Fletch~~99 WC~~79/81 Fishing87/94 Magic~~84 RangeEtha!

nightshade53 Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Burthorpe :P Since I have awful melee/mage stats I burthorpe anything I can't range easily :oops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wachtwoord Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 I always Burthoped them, cuz it's really slow slayer xp and if I would slay things like these too, it would take ages to get a bit o high lvl (only 60 now :oops: ) When everything's been said and done, more has been said than done.All skills 80+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValaraZ Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 50/50 when i do i seem to get legs so no reason not to do them :P plus i hate burthorpe assignments :( Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward.
