Mithril Dragon

Okay so these bad boys have always been a challenge for most players that are unfortunate enough to receive them as a task. Hard hitting, tank like skin and attacks that cream through the basic defences, these guys can be a challenge to any decent Runescaper.

Okay, so to start with, the requirements that I would recommend:

• 90+ Magic
• 90+ Defence
• 90+ Constitution
• 85+ Dungeoneering (if using chaotic weapons)

Just to quickly add, Mithril Dragons are weak to 'Earth' spells, therefore making this a offensive magic setup. They use all three types of combat styles, making it impossible to have a effective defence against them, so making due with the equipment i have shown is my best recommendation for all levels.

Now for the gear, this has been setup for a specific strength for magic defence, this means that the character is weak to ranged, but prayers and a aura should see to that later. I have also chosen a High hitting magic staff as it proves more effective than wands are dragons. I have added two pictures of the inventory to the post as a choice of efficiency over profit or vice versa.

Basic setup for the dragons.

Efficiency Inventory

• Prayer renewal flask (6) x4
• Prayer potion flask (6) x9
• Extreme Magic potion x2
• Extreme Defence potion x2
• Super Anti Fire potion x2
• Air runes x5000+
• Earth runes x5000+
• Pack Yak/Unicorn Stallion with suitable scrolls
• 3 food of any choice (heals over 1000 would be decent)

Profitable Inventory

Of course you can change any of the items that I am using to suite your own abilities and such, but for now lets stick to the basics. The aura's i am using in the character setup is 'Vampyrism' this aura allows the player to restore 5% of any damage you deal, the only alternative I would suggest to this aura would be penance, which restores a  quarter of the damage you receive and adds it onto your prayer points. The 5 potion that are in the inventory on both pictures are as following:

Now onto the fun part! Mithril dragons are level 160 and can pack a punch to those who aren't equipped with sufficient gear, so there are a few ways of mauling these dragons down! So for killing higher leveled opponents, it is advisable to skip using monumentum and to go hardcore with abilities.

So I have devised an ability bar that should be of some use to players that are experienced. Once again this can be adapted to suit your own needs, or simple be a structure to a setup you are looking to create yourself.

So once you are set, you can make your way into the dungeon that can be accessed by using the fairy code: B-J-Q

There's not much to cover on prayer, but for a trip worth going on then you will most likely want to have the following set. Please note that the prayer book I am on is obtained after a series of difficult quest that once completed grant the user to prayers that require a higher level to use.

Once finally at the dragons lair, sip your potions, activate your aura's and active you quick prayers, then begin to use the abilities from 1 - 6 as these are you basic abilities that give you adrenaline,

Other than a slayer task, the only reason people hunt mithril dragons, is because they seek either chewed bones, or a dragon full helmet drop. The dragon full helmet is one of the hardest drops to receive in game as it can only be obtained by either chewed bones (drop from mithril dragons) or a very rare drop from mithril dragons as an item form. This gives mithril dragons their right to be kick ass and hit frenzy.

If you wish to see the practical side of this method, then please watch the short video below.



That is all I am going to cover in this topic, so have fun slaying and good luck dragon hunting! :D
