Method Description, Instructions and Tips for Success

General Description

Baby blue dragons are easy to kill even at mid levels and have a 100% drop of baby dragon bones; these provide 30 Prayer XP each, making them better than big bones but still much cheaper than "adult" dragon bones. They are best fought at the blue dragon lair in Taverley Dungeon.

With level 50 skills you must run a long distance to get to the lair, but a spirit terrorbird familiar helps a great deal with this. At level 70 Agility you can use the pipe shortcut to the dragon lair, which cuts down dramatically on "travel time".

Specific Method Details

Go to a full world. Start at Falador west bank, wearing standard melee gear and an anti-dragon shield -- while baby dragons do not have a breath attack, the full-sized dragons in the area do, so it's prudent to wear the shield. Take out of the bank approximately 10 salmon (or other cheap food), a 4-dose super set, a spirit terrorbird pouch and 4 Tireless Run scrolls, a stack of Falador teleport tablets, and your dusty key or steel keyring.

Run southwest from the bank, hop the wall and run northwest to the dungeon entrance. Enter, go through the gate, then follow the normal path past the magic axes, chaos dwarves and lesser demons to the gate leading to the blue dragons. Use Tireless Run scrolls as needed to restore run energy. Once you get to the lesser demons, use your key or keyring to open the gate to the dragon lair, and you'll find several baby blue dragons in this area.

Drink your first super set dose and start fighting the baby blue dragons, staying away from the "mommy" dragons to whatever extent possible -- on a full world there will usually be people fighting them anyway. Eat and drink more potion as needed, take the baby dragon bones that are dropped, and keep an eye out for other valuable drops left behind by other players. Once you have 12 bones put them in the terrorbird.

Continue until your inventory is full, hit your Falador teletab, bank and repeat the process.
