Basic Skills and Equipment

Dragons hit moderately on melee. Their main weapon is their fire breath, which can hit over 47 damage if you aren't properly prepared! Therefor an Anti-dragon shield/Dragonfire shield is a absolute must. Another protective measure is an Anti-fire Potion, which works like the shield and can be made at Herblore level 69 (see Herblore Skill Guide). One should always bring good food an a one-click teleport method. If you are going to range, halberd, or mage dragons, then wield the shield until you are in your safespot.

Green Dragons

Green Dragons are level 79 monsters that live in the Wilderness and the Chaos Tunnels. Green Dragons are the weakest of the adult dragons, but they can still do quite a bit of damage so it is recommended that people with combat levels lower that 60 not attempt to kill them.

Since some of the Green Dragons are in the Wilderness, you need to consider how much you're willing to risk. These spots are usually overrun with Revenants, and you really need to keep your eye out for them. These vicious ghosts can freeze, teleblock, use range, melee, and magic, and even steal your kill right out from under you. The most common location used where player fight these creatures is just northwest of Edgeville in level 11 Wilderness, directly west of the Dark Knight Fortress.

Wilderness:

Below is a map of all the places that you can find Green Dragons in the Wilderness and the routes to them.

There are numerous methods for getting to and from the green dragons. The three most popular ways will be described below.

Method 1 - Cheapest Method: This method has no prerequisites and is the cheapest way. You start off in Edgeville where you bank and get your items. Then you just walk up to the dragons. When you have filled your inventory, just walk back to Edgeville.

Method 2 - Teleporting Method (Regular): In this method you start in Falador/Varrock/Edgeville. Make sure that you take Teleport Runes or Charged Glory to get back from the Dragons to Falador/Varrock/Edgeville. Then walk up to the dragons. When you are done, use the Teleport of your choice, bank, and repeat. This method is the most efficient.

Method 3 - Teleporting Method (Ancients): If you have completed Desert Treasure, and are on the Ancient Magic spell book, you can use Dareeyak Teleport (72 Magic) Or Carrallangar (84 Magic) to get to the wilderness to teleport you near Dragon locations (See map for Teleport Locations). From there, either teleport to Padewwa Teleport (Edgeville Sewers near bank) / use a Charged Glory to Edgeville, or you can simply walk back to Edgeville, and then bank. This method is VERY FAST if you use Teleports back and forth. Though, this method costs more money (Buying Law And Soul Runes) and needs high enough Magic. But if you have done Desert Treasure and Have 72/84 Magic, this is the best method. The Green Dragonhides and Dragon Bones (If you're selling them) make up for the little that is spent on runes per trip.

Chaos Tunnels:

Once you are inside of the Chaos Tunnels, you are no longer in the Wilderness. There are also no Revenants inside of these tunnels. This implies that you can take any type of armor and weapons you want. The nearby banks at the Stealing Creation and Bounty Hunter arenas make this a good place to fight Green dragons.

The best way to reach the Green Dragons in the Chaos Tunnels is to cross the Wilderness ditch north of the Grand Exchange and head northeast to the 2 rifts shown on the map below. Once inside, make your way through the portal to the relevant rooms (21 and 49). In some of the rooms you might pass through there are level 49 Shadow spiders which drain your prayer. This area is multi-combat, so the nearby Baby black dragons will all attack while you are trying to fight the Green Dragons. To fight Green Dragons on their own, hit them once and then run to the nearest wall and let them come to you. This way, they block the Baby Black Dragons from coming near you.



If you have level 52 Summoning, it is a good idea to bring a Spirit Terrorbird pouch, as it carries 12 extra inventory spaces for you, making each trip more efficient. They also help attack monsters. If you have level 67 Summoning, you can bring a War Tortoise pouch, which holds 18 extra inventory spaces. If you have level 96 summoning you may bring a Pack Yack pouch, which holds 30 extra inventory spaces. If you need a good defence bonus then summon the highest level Minotaur that you can. These will reduce the damage done to you and will let you stay in the tunnels longer. Baby Black Dragons sometimes tend to attack the Minotaur instead of you if it's in the way, so you can be free from attack sometimes.

Revenants:

Revenants are dangerous creatures which wander around in the Wilderness. they are a major nuisance for Green Dragon slayers, and they help make Dragon bones more valuable than normal, so you have to live with them. If Revenants have teleblocked you, the best way to escape them from this is to run like crazy towards the ditch. Don't stop for anything. Hopefully, the level difference will save you when you get closer to the Wilderness exit. Always take a form of teleport, except jewelery, with you no matter what transportation method you are using. A tele-tab or Camelot teleport runes are recommended because these only take up one or two slots. If you think that you are good enough to fight these Revenants, then take your Dragon Dagger P++ with you. Have it ready to pull out and use its special on them. Most of these Revenants are incredibly high levels, and can outmatch even the greatest players. Even the humble Revenant imp may take the high level into a fight for their life.

Blue Dragons

Blue Dragons are the next in the chain. They are level 111, so I suggest being at least 75 combat with GOOD food before attempting to get at these guys. The best place to kill blue dragons is Taverley Dungeon. You need a Dusty Key (found in the dungeon, see Hero's Quest under Lava Eel for complete details) to get to the Dragons themselves. Once inside their lair, run past the group of Baby blue dragons to the circle-like area of eggs. There are some good maging/ranging spots in this area.

Unfortunately, there are only a few Halberd-friendly spots here. The best place to range, mage or hally Blue dragons is in the Basement of the Hero's Guild. Have fun killing these Dragons and teleport when your out of food or full. Also watch out for the Baby blue dragons, they are level 48 and incredibly annoying to the dragon killers there.

Another location where Blue dragons can be found is the Gu'Tanoth Dungeon (Under the Ogre City south of Yanille). To enter you must have atleast started the Watchtower Quest up to a certain point where you enter the dungeon. To enter the dungeon after the quest simply click on the cave entrance and the guards will look at you suspiciously. While they're thinking about who you are, they will be distracted, which gives you time to sneak inside. Once inside you will see many different creatures. Remember to NEVER attack or talk to Ogre Shaman! You will take 20-30 damage if you do. When exploring the dungeon you will see many good places from where you can range or melee the Dragons. If you are using a Halberd (dragon is recommended, other lower types won't do as much damage) it is suggested to stand on the west side of the dungeon, where two dragons are.

On the map below you will see the dungeon and some Blue Dragons which are marked, 1 dot doesn't mean there is 1 dragon there, 1 dot CAN represent 2 dragons or more, it varies as they walk around.

Red Dragons

Red dragons are found only in 2 places: High level Wilderness and the Karamja Dungeon. They are level 152, so BE PREPARED! Have a combat level of at least 80 and bring at least full swordfish for food, otherwise you'll be wasting your time. The best (and pretty much only way) to kill red dragons is melee, as both of their lairs lack good spots for Hallying, ranging or maging. The best place to kill them is in the Karamja Dragon Dungeon (southwest of Brimhaven), as the Wilderness is way too much of a risk. In the Karamja Dragon Dungeon, you must go through several tunnels and caverns. There are two ways into the Red Dragon area, by squeezing through a pipe or going over a log (30 agility required). Once inside, fight Reds to your heart's content, and watch out for the level 65 Baby red dragons.

Black Dragons

Black Dragons are the toughest of the normal dragons. They are a whopping level 227, so be at least level 90 before trying to take them out. Black Dragons can be found at the tunnel at the end of the Lava Maze in the Wilderness, but, like Red Dragons, it is nowhere near safe or profitable to kill them there. The best place is in Taverley Dungeon. You must go past the Blue Dragons, Black Demons, Poison Spiders and Monks of Zamorak to get to them. There is only one good Range or Mage spot here. It's close to the Obelisk, just stand 1 step from the passage. If you get it just right the dragon will be too big to attack you there. Additionally, if you have completed the Sir Amik Varze subquest of the Recipe for Disaster quest, you can find some black dragons in the Evil Chicken's Lair.

Note: If you stand in the hallway between the Zamorak Mages and the Black Dragons, they cannot reach you. Also you can stand on the other side of the ladder. These are both safe spots.
