I would NEVER range metal dragons. Even if you've drank an antifire pot, their fire breath will still hit you constantly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Against metal dragons, antifire pots and shield are essential. For this reason, you can only mage or melee them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I've tried both and would recommend mage for sure provided you have a powerful spell. I wouldn't use anything less than Fire Wave myself.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you insist on melee, take the best prayer boosting armour you've got.

Sorry, I don't have a picture of my mage setup.

Use either mage or range. Range will probably have quicker kills for you. And it's less expensive. So if your purely going for the drops then use range. Use mage if you want some nice magic levels :)

umm, range hands down, unless you need exp in something else, defiantly go with range.
