That's right, ladies and gentlemen! We're headed up to the King Dagannoth to get our hands on some valuable stuff there!

The following is a quote of the guide which I wrote for this type of trip:

------

RuneWeb King Dagannoth Trip: Rudimentary Guide

So, we've decided to tackle the King Dagannoths. At level 303 (each), there's no doubt in anyone's mind that these things won't hesitate to make you mincemeat should you slip up. There are three Dagannoth Kings: Rex (Melee), Supreme (Range), and Prime (Magic). Their attacks in their combat attribute are very lethal, and should be avoided at almost all costs.

"Well, if they're so strong, how the heck is a fansite going to take them all down?"

I can tell you right now that the King Dagannoth are the least of everyone's worries, until we make it to the final sub level. Even then you shouldn't be concerned with the Kings; there are other Dagannoth, Wallasalikis, Giant Rock Crabs and Giant Rock Lobsters along the way. On top of that, these NPCs hit HARD without question if you're not adequately protected. I know from experience that the Wallasalikis hit 28s natural with magic, even with high magic defense. This means that we're going to be running through much of this place with a protection prayer on.

"Geez! Why are we going to go there if it's so dangerous?"

Well, besides the fact that every major boss NPC in RuneScape has its own level of danger (KBD in the Wilderness, Chaos Elemental in a multiway high wilderness zone, and the Kalphite Queen at the end of a maze with poisonous Kalphite in the Desert), there would be no difference if we went up there with a group of people to the King Dagannoths than to the Chaos Elemental. It's just that on Waterbirth, you can protect from most of the NPC attacks.

------------------------------------------

BEFORE WE START:

There will be three teams, A, B, and C. All teams will be formed on the day of the event, so I strongly advise that you not only show up on time, but also tune in to the RuneWeb IRC channel to know who's in charge of what group much quicker. I would recommend that at least ONE person on each team be carrying Astral spells. Dress according to what team you want to join, and remember that we need a base minimum of 3 on each team (strict requirement of at least 2 Ancient Mages) or we will get seriously creamed.

Team A will head up the Northern entrance, through the Rock Crabs. Team B will take the Southern Entrance, through the Dagannoths. Team C will take the centre path through the Wallasalikis. When we get to the top, Team A will open the doors for B and C, and C will open the doors for A. Then, we navigate through the maze.

Protect mage through the first room, then switch to whatever prayer defense you're weak against to in the second room (since the Dagannoth here attack melee AND ranged). Protect Melee through the Rock crabs, then turn South to face yet another room with Dagannoth hybrids. Head West and protect Mage to a room with Wallasalikis, then head South twice with rooms full of them. Hit Melee protect as we go through the Rock Lobsters, then pray again according to weakness as we go East through a room with more Dagannoth Hybrids. I'd advise you hold protect Melee through the northern path, since the Dagannoth attack only Melee in the room directly to the north of the last one, then hybrid to the next one. Finally, we will be near the entrance to the bottom level of the dungeon, where the angry Kings are waiting to get a piece of us. Before we'd continue, we will camp at the Rock Lobsters near here until we get our run energies back to 90%. Here would also be a good place to make sure everyone was here, no one died and that we were all ready to face the Kings. Then, we head south at full blast to a small ladder that takes us to the Throneroom.

Team A will take the FAR Northeast corner of the Dungeon. Turn Mage prayer on ASAP and fire at Prime.
Team B will take the West/Southwest corner of the Dungeon (near the ladder). Turn on Mage prayer ASAP and let Supreme know who's the boss.
Team C will take the East corner of the Dungeon. Turn on Mage prayer ASAP and make Rex rue the day he was born.

------------------------------------------

What to wear: The best melee, magic and range gear you are willing to risk losing. You should be prepared to die at all times. If you feel that's too much, bring a Ring of Life in case you might have to bail out. One-click teleports such as ectophial or tablets are highly advised!

Melee: From what I understand, this is the hardest group to be in. I advise this only if you have over 80 defense and attack. However, anyone is welcome and encouraged to fill this slot. Bring enough food and prayer potions to last the entire dungeon. Super sets are advised. Your primary target is Supreme, which hits relatively high with ranged attacks. Bring range-retardant armour and you should be okay.

Mage: A rather cushy slot if you can cast the higher level Ancient Magic spells. This generally puts your primary target Rex at bay while dealing heavy damage to him. At least 2 Ancient Mages with 82 or higher magic and any number of traditional mages with 80 magic and a God spell would be advised here. Take only what you are willing to risk, but come prepared to beat the crap out of the firstborn Dagannoth.

Range: From what I understand, this is the easiest slot to fill. The only things you would have to worry about are the Spinolyps and strange waters at the bitter edge of the dungeon (where you would be sitting), but that doesn't mean that you're out of the woods yet. You would normally be put in range of Supreme as well, but your primary target is Dagannoth Prime. Do as much damage to him as you can. Nothing less than Adamant arrows, or if you want to chance it, Karil's Crossbow, Dorgeshuun Crossbow, or even Seercull would do plenty of damage with the highest level projectiles you can find.

All Classes: Keep your Mage prayers on, since Prime will not hesitate to make very short work of you without it. When your primary target is done, help all others kill their targets, no questions asked. When all Kings are dead, pick up the drops QUICKLY (do NOT stay in center if more than two Kings have spawned), and begin to kill the outer-lying NPCs that do rather heavy damage to those that aren't paying attention.

Tips:

Stay on target. Make sure you're fighting the right King.
If you bring a cannon, expect to have all of the Kings on your tail. Don't worry as they can't destroy it, but don't pick it up if you fear you're going to die.
Watch your hitpoints and prayer at all times. Keep as close an eye on those as you possibly can. Don't hesitate to eat to at least 3/4ths full health, because it's better to be safe than sorry.

------

Since this event is a charity/fundraiser for RuneWeb's Christmas Drop Party, I ask that you turn in all drops to Makoto D after the "run". Do not worry that you will not see your hard-earned item again; I am willing to compensate everyone who gets a valuable drop up to 10% of its initial market worth.

Example: Geo1988's very first drop is a Seercull, then he gets a Dragon Axe and an Archers' Ring. The total of these items is 5,800,000 (estimated). He then trades me the items, and I pay him 10% of that, which is 580K.

Please, please do NOT hoard these items for yourself. We cannot hold a drop party if someone is found to be greedy or unwilling to share their prizes, and you may find yourself ostracized from your peers.

Hope to see you there!

THINE SHALL NOT APPEAR IN THE PRESENCE OF PROTAGONISTS.

Although if you're desperate for a tiny bit of donation for the drop party, I might be willing to extend a hand of loans and interests, not.

Yet again, non-European friendly time. Won't be seeing me there even if I had members :'<.

Actually, Wii's released that day, so my brother will most likely be keeping the whole house awake, so I might just come.

MST stands for Mountain Standard Time, or the Global/Greenwich offset of -7. This is because I live in the mountains of course.

If you're having trouble figuring out your timezone, remember this:

US East Coast is offset by GMT -5 (Two hours ahead of me)
US Central is offset by GMT -6 (One hour ahead of me)
US West Coast is offset by GMT -8(One hour behind me)
US Aleutian/Hawaiian is offset by GMT -10 (Three hours behind me)

I hope that helps.

The DK trip is in approx 7 hours. To answer your question Spikey, I could be wrong, but I don't think there is a planned drop party yet. It is always good to be prepared for one and don't worry, when one is planned, it will be posted far ahead of time with the required information.

I'm hoping we can get lucky today and get some good profit for future parties. I've never been there myself so I wonder how tough it will be.

Team leaders are being decided at this moment. Team A and C remain vacant.

You MUST have at least 80 range for Team A leader OR 82 Magic for Team C leader.
