Okay, I just did that

Added a second method

how many kills per trip are you getting meleeing? Just curious.

[Kittguin]

So far 3 or 4 kills per trip fairly easily and depending a bit on luck, right now I'm modifying the inventory slightly because I seem to be overdoing prayer pots and not quite enough food

[sk3l3t0r711]

ok, that is about what I am getting with melee, and I get 6-7 with range.

[Kittguin]

I can usually get between 4 and 6 kills with range but they tend to be slower than melee for me

[Soulegleon]

Its decent, but you could use some fixes. Also I typically get about 6-8 (sometimes 10 or 12) kills
1. Unicorn stallion is NOT worth it, take a spirit terrorbird pouch to increase the amount of money you get on each trip. If you want you can bring something like a pak yak or tortoise but they are more expensive and sometimes you don't need all that room. There is also the option of bringing a Unicorn Stallion, but after you run out of room you should dismiss it and summon a terror bird or other beast of burden.
2. Here is what the gear and inventory should look like:

3. If you are using a 2 handed weapon, I found that a zamorakian spear is the best; mithrils are way weaker to stab than crush.
4. You should repot EVERY KILL! I found that the inventory space lost is by far worth the extra speed at which you kill them.
5. Use piety! without this you kill them like a slowpoke, with piety and potting ever kill I kill them just as fast or faster than a level 99 ranger on the mithril dragon next to me.

I have not yet figured out if full void is worth it with a leaf bladed sword, I think it may because you get so many stack ups with piety and pots.

That's on my list of things to test

I've found that out the hard way after forgetting to turn it back on after it spawns

Haha, I figured it out by just using it on one mithril and I killed it a lot faster than normal.
Add me if you want me to do some testing or something (I'm going for the goal of 500 kills, 209 down)
I will be testing void knight soon

Okay, right now the thing I could probably use most is a comparison of different setups (dragonfire shield versus anti-dragon shield, fury versus glory, I'm too poor to afford them due to 90 summoning and 80 pray)

Why use the saradomin sword instead of the z spear?

[Soulegleon]

I have found that Dharoking and Veracing are not worth it (I died DHing btw...) Mithril Dragons hit way to often with firebreath.

Haven't managed to get a Z spear yet, I'll test as soon as I get one

Yeah, Dharoking definitely isn't worth it for large numbers of kills but I'm still going to add it because Dharok's is furn for everything sometimes

I'm a major supporter of void+zam spear. In fact, I posted about it hours before you posted this topic, lol.

Even so it made sense to me awhile ago

Dharoking the mith drags was epic. I didn't die . Hit what...a 67 or something? (Kitt was watching me to bless the grave though lol)

Anyways, I posted somewhere here fairly conclusive proof that void melee is both broken and garbage. Can't be bothered to find the link atm, but it's on the most recent thread about void.

Yes, epic is a good description.

I was playing around at earth warriors yesterday and did four 46-minute tests with void melee, followed by two 46-minute tests with bandos chest, bandos tassets, neitznot, and barrows gloves. My max hit was 4 points higher, I collected 25% more crimson charms per trip, and I needed 75% less food with the latter setup. My conclusion: Void Melee Blows.
