Method Description, Instructions and Tips for Success

General Description

Green dragons are one of the "old standby" monsters used by those looking to make money via combat. They are mostly found in the Wilderness, but there are now some in the Chaos Tunnels as well.

I prefer the tunnels, even though they are multicombat, there are baby black dragons in the same room with the greens (which are level 83 -- big babies). Why? Three reasons. First, the Wilderness spots are constantly overcrowded with players, so you waste tons of time running around or waiting around. Second, the revenants are a nuisance. And finally, in a multi area you can get some combat help from a familiar (though we are mostly using our familiar to carry drops here.) That said, even the chaos tunnels are often crowded now. This is a shame, because without the crowds it would be possible to get even more kills per hour at very high levels using the Winter Storage scroll of the pack yak. But in my tests, it is not often possible to fight continuously at very high levels because of all the crowding.

At level 50 skills you need to use prayer to fight these effectively; higher level players can get by with armor and food.

Specific Method Details

Start at Edgeville, putting on prayer gear and taking out from the bank 3-dose super attack, super strength, super defence and antifire potions, along with two 4-dose and one 2-dose prayer potions. Also grab a home tablet and a spirit terrorbird pouch.

Run northeast from the bank, cross the bridge and enter the Wild. Run northeast to the rift and enter -- you'll be in a room of spiders. Run south, trying to avoid the shadow spiders (they drain your prayer!) and take the portal to the dragon room.

Sip your super set and antifire potion, put on Protection from Melee and start hacking. Just ignore the baby black dragons -- as long as you have your prayer on, they can't touch you.

Also summon your terrorbird and put bones and hides in it as you get them. Since you'll be in constant combat, remember that you can "use" items on the familiar to store them. The beast will also do some damage (though you can't count on it).

Continue until your inventory is full; count on about 15-17 kills per trip, depending on what drops you get. Usually you get coins in addition to the standard hides/bones, but they drop other good stuff too sometimes.

Hit your home teleport tablet, recharge prayer at your house altar, and then use your amulet of glory to return to Edgeville.

You can kill about 45-50 per hour. The prayer pots cut down on the profitability of the method, but it's still decent money and XP.
