Complete the quest to enter Lithkren Vault and fight rune dragons.
Rune Dragons Off Task
Build a durable off-task setup, control dragonfire and electricity, and keep banking downtime low.
Requirements
Unlocks and practical targets
High Attack, Strength, and Defence make off-task trips much more stable.
Maintain the correct antifire protection for the entire trip.
Wear them to reduce the rune dragon's electrical special attack.
A configured digsite pendant greatly reduces travel time.
Bring enough prayer restoration for your chosen defensive and offensive prayers.
Core mechanics
What controls the method
Dragonfire
Keep dragonfire protection active and re-dose before the timer expires.
Electrical attack
Use insulated boots and keep health high enough to absorb unavoidable damage.
Mixed combat
Rune dragons use multiple attack styles, so defence and prayer planning matter off task.
Bank timing
Bank before supplies become dangerously low instead of forcing one more kill.

Repeatable strategy
A practical operating loop
Teleport and pre-pot
Arrive with antifire active, prayer configured, and the inventory ready for alchable drops.
Claim a stable position
Avoid unnecessary movement and keep the camera arranged for easy health and loot checks.
Maintain timers
Refresh antifire, combat boosts, and prayer before any of them become urgent.
Loot with a rule
Prioritize the consistent high-value drops and avoid filling the inventory with low-value clutter.
Bank safely
Use the same repeatable banking route and return before the account becomes vulnerable.

How to use this guide
