How ratings work

difficulty1 is beginner-friendly. 3 is moderate. 5 needs end-game access, gear, or execution.

attention1 needs occasional checks. 3 needs regular input. 5 needs continuous focus.

afk1 is not AFK. 3 allows short pauses. 5 allows long low-input periods.

risk1 has limited loss pressure. 3 has meaningful failure cost. 5 has major death, supply, or PvP risk.

Requirements and recommendations

Mandatory access and clearly labelled practical targets

Dragon Slayer II

Complete the quest to enter Lithkren Vault and fight rune dragons.

90+ melee

High Attack, Strength, and Defence make off-task trips much more stable.

Dragonfire protection

Maintain the correct antifire protection for the entire trip.

Insulated boots

Wear them to reduce the rune dragon's electrical special attack.

Fast teleport

A configured digsite pendant greatly reduces travel time.

Prayer sustain

Bring enough prayer restoration for your chosen defensive and offensive prayers.

Core mechanics

What controls the method

D

Dragonfire

Keep dragonfire protection active and re-dose before the timer expires.

High
E

Electrical attack

Use insulated boots and keep health high enough to absorb unavoidable damage.

High
L

Life leech

The green projectile can heal the dragon through protection prayers; Vengeance or correct step-under timing can reduce its impact.

Medium
M

Mixed combat

Rune dragons use multiple attack styles, so defence and prayer planning matter off task.

Medium
B

Bank timing

Bank before supplies become dangerously low instead of forcing one more kill.

Strategy

A practical step-by-step plan

1

Teleport and pre-pot

Arrive with antifire active, prayer configured, and the inventory ready for alchable drops.

2

Claim a stable position

Avoid unnecessary movement and keep the camera arranged for easy health and loot checks.

3

Maintain timers

Refresh antifire, combat boosts, and prayer before any of them become urgent.

4

Loot with a rule

Prioritize the consistent high-value drops and avoid filling the inventory with low-value clutter.

5

Bank safely

Use the same repeatable banking route and return before the account becomes vulnerable.

How to use this guide

This page assumes you are killing rune dragons without a Slayer task.

Exact profit changes with alch values, supply prices, and how actively the alt is managed.

YOUR ESTIMATE

Profitability and projections

The Wiki Estimate seeds loot and supply fields from current market inputs when available. Every assumption remains editable and your saved values take priority.

The calculator will update if the selected Wiki method provides a usable average loot value. You can enter your own value at any time.

Kill-count projections will appear after an average loot value is available.

Upgrade priority

Qualitative guidance, not fabricated DPS

1

Osmumten's fang -> dragon hunter lance

The lance provides dragonbane accuracy and damage for the melee method represented by this guide.

Major upgrade
2

Anti-dragon shield -> dragonfire shield

The dragonfire shield preserves the one-handed setup while adding melee defence and strength.

Moderate upgrade
3

Dragonfire shield -> Avernic defender

Common mistakes

Fix execution before adding cost

Ignoring dragonfire: Keep dragonfire protection active and re-dose before the timer expires.

Ignoring electrical attack: Use insulated boots and keep health high enough to absorb unavoidable damage.

Ignoring life leech: The green projectile can heal the dragon through protection prayers; Vengeance or correct step-under timing can reduce its impact.
