Hello and welcome to Spiderchild's guide on how to Speed-Slay blue dragons at the Heroes Guild.


I developed this method my self and have suggested it to many friends, yet i have only seen one person do it with such a set inventroy and state of mind.

Reccomended stats:
70 attack
70 strength
any defense
66 magic prefered
and a must have of 43 prayer

First of all to do this you really do need to have minimum 90 combat for this to work without a whip, if your under 90 combat but you own a whip and can weild it then thats all you really need as you will achieve the same results as someone 5 combats above you who has a dragon scimitar.
If you do not meet the reccomended stats then you will struggle, 70 attack and strength is absoloute minimum, to have the fastest effect i reccomend 80+ in both skills (i'm only 79 attack :S)

i have honed my inventory over about an estimate of 500 dragon kills, and this i have found is perfect for someone with my stats:

Please notice how my attack and strength are supter potted, i have used a dragon battle-axe special then drunk a restore pot then drunk a attack potion, this gives me super-potted attack and strength, which makes the dragon killing vmuch faster.
The Salmon should be replaced with lobsters if you are under 70 hp
The Vulnerability runes (12 souls, 60 water and 60 earth) should be re-placed with 12 body runes, 24 water and 36 earth if your magic is under 66.


IPB Image
This is the reccomended eqipment, glory should be replaced with a fury amulet if you have one, and ring of life with a warrior/beserker ring, NOT a ring of wealth, the best dorp you will have from a blue dragon is a clue scroll, and the ring of wealth actually reduces the chances of a clue scroll drop.


IPB Image
Enter the Heroes guild and promtply go upstairs to the alter if your Prayer is low.


IPB Image This is the later that is key to the whole technique, it is approximatly a 30 second run from the dragon and can be used to restore your prayer when needed.


IPB Image
These are the "safe-spots" when inside the dragons cage, anything out side the cage is also safe from the dragon, i reccomend that you stand on one of these squares with your spell ready to cast and your prayer menu open (hit the vulnerability spell in your magic screen, or your curse spell, then hit the prayer menu, you should be ready to use your magic and hit your prayer right after)


IPB Image
As soon as the dragon spawns, fire your spell at him then turn on your prayer and walk into striking distance of the dragon with your auto-retailate set to on, this enusures that instead of jumping out of your safe spot and then en-circling the dragon as it is a big monster in a small space, that you will automatically hit the dragon when it attacks you.
The spell is key to this method, many other members will be their trying to range, or mage the dragon, if your bring Spells that will actually speed up the rate of whitch you kill the dragon (the defense lowering spells curse and vulnerability) then you will see that you kill the dragons much quicker, the spells makes the dragon just a 1-click foe and also lowers your alter rate. With my stats super-potted i average 6 to 8 prayer points per dragon, and have killed 8 dragons with one load of prayer before.



IPB Image
During the fight keep an eye on your prayer menu but don't eat when you are hit by the dragons fire breath, this just wastes prayer points and time as there is more than enough time to eat a salmon to heal from the 4 or 5 that your shield didn't absorb after the dragon is dead and your prayer is off.


IPB Image
Finally defeat the dragon, only turn off your prayer when you see the dragon kneel down, there has been many a tiem when i've red-barred the dragon and turnned off my prayer only to have it rear up and hit a 20 before dying.

If your prayer is under 6 then go up to the alter and pray, but if you want to be real sneaky if their are competitors for the dragon around, then use 4 of those prayer points to get the dragon to under half hp then quickly run upstairs and charge your prayer, arrive downstairs again and ready your spell, collect the loot mid-dragon killing.

Collect your loot from the dragon, the dragon bones will sell for 2.5k - 3k and the hides will sell at a steady 2k.
Upon gaining a clue scroll do it instantly, clue scrolls from blue dragons are level 3 and can generate major loot, which is where the bulk of the money comes from.

Happy slaying!

Just a few things.

- You missed out some punctuation and spelled things wrongly. (eg. reccomend) You might want to proof-read your guide first. Then again, who am I to complain about these menial things. rolleyes.gif

- Salmons aren't exactly the best food inventory-wise. If you replace it with lobsters or higher, you can free up more inventory space for loot. I suppose it is cheap food though.

- I don't think Ring of Wealth has been proven to reduce Clue Scroll drops. As far as I can understand, the whole drop system is based on a roulette and the ring only affects the rare drops. Unless anyone wants to do some spading?

- There are also some words which are cut off from their paragraphs, parts of it appearing next to the pictures.

- That sneaky bit is kind of mean. wink.gif

It is less riskier and probably a bit faster than range. So yes, a useful guide.

It isn't faster than range. ;o. And RoW does lower clue scroll drops, I forgot where exactly I heard this, but I remember that it was confirmed by a jmod on rsforums that RoW does lower clue drops, but increases the drops of all the "rare" items slightly.

my way owns range, also Mystic, salmons are there simply because they are cheap and decent food, with 10 it's a perfect amount as you cna just eat the ones you do'nt use, you pick up all the loot regardless.

i hardley have to drop or waste any salmon, 10 is perfect for me but feel free to experiment.

I also believe that this is a good guide.

As was mentioned, a few adjustments to spelling and grammar will make it a great guide.

my way owns range,


Maybe for some people, not for me with my stats tongue.gif

With my range and a crystal bow at 1 or 2 I can own nechyaels about as fast as a level 112 with a whip. blink.gif
