Dragon Forge

The shortcuts

Taverley Dungeon, before and after

The way down. Before: Taverley Dungeon's stone corridors. After: the Wyrmmaw, where the lit road starts.

The blue dragons. Before: a corner of the dungeon. After: their own den on level 1.

The black dragons. Before: Dragonforge Hollow. After: the Black Roost, a shelf above a deep rift.

The forge camp keeps its place, its Dragonforge, Dragon anvil and dragon rocks.

Dragon hatchlings, Blue and Black dragons

• They fight as before, with new art and animations.
• Baby blue dragons are now Dragon hatchlings. Besides their big bones they now drop coins, runes and feathers, with a chance at the rare drop table.

Elemental dragons (level 161)

• One school of magic hurts each one, shown by the rune over its head: water for the Infernal dragon, fire for the White, wind for the Stone and earth for the Storm dragon.
• Weapons, arrows and cannonballs pass straight through them.
• They spit from up to 6 tiles away, every 4.8 seconds, for 0 to 10. A dragonfire shield halves it. Prayers don't help.

Elemental dragons: the right school hits hard, up to a cap

Spell rank	Most it can hit an elemental
Strike	10
Bolt	15
Blast	22
Wave	25
Every other spell lands for nothing, god spells included. The right school's power is raised for these dragons, so each school's blast hits about as hard as the others.

Armoured (248) and Plated (250) dragons

• A red mark appears on your tile, and the breath lands 1.2 seconds later on whoever still stands there. Step off the mark.
• A new mark comes every 7.8 to 8.4 seconds from an Armoured dragon and every 7.2 to 7.8 seconds from a Plated one, while it fights you. It breathes at you from up to 8 tiles.
• Breath: 25 to 45 (Armoured), 30 to 50 (Plated). A dragonfire shield takes 60% off; prayers don't help.
• Their bite: 10 to 30 (Armoured) and 8 to 24 (Plated) when it lands. Paralyze Monster halves it.

Crystal dragon (300) and Two-headed dragon (302)

• Slayer only: only a player on a Crystal or Two-headed dragon task can hurt them, and they never attack anyone who can't.
• The Crystal dragon's ward: it watches the last 12 seconds of damage. When one attack style deals 40% or more of it, the ward rises against that style (a 3.6 second cue over its head) and stands for 18 seconds: that style does only 35% damage. Then it rests for 9. Switch styles.
• The Two-headed dragon has no ward.
• The Two-headed dragon breathes from two heads, so two marks come in turn, half a gap apart.
• Bites: 12 to 32 (Crystal) and 10 to 28 (Two-headed).

Respawns and dragon banes

Safe spots and shields

• The new dragons only breathe or spit at a player they could walk up to, so the Silt Fens' pools make real safe spots.
• A dragonfire shield here means the Anti dragon breath Shield, the Dragon Square Shield or the Frost bone shield.

Anti dragon breath Shield

Counts as a dragonfire shield.

Dragon Square Shield

Counts as a dragonfire shield.

Frost bone shield

Counts as a dragonfire shield.

Getting in

• Step over the low stones across the mouth of the Hoard to enter your own copy of it.
• Click a stone to leave. Dying, teleporting or logging out also takes you out, and ends her fight.
• Fight her with ranged or magic. She can't be fought in melee. Spells do 40% of their damage to her, and the Dragon crossbow, with any bolt, hits her 50% harder.
• Her 66% and 33% looks are only looks. She doesn't speed up or hit harder as she weakens.
• She waits for your first hit; her first attack comes one full cycle after it.
• You can't step back over the stones while you're frozen.

Read her attacks

• Fire bomb: it is lobbed at your tile as she casts it. Two steps and you take nothing.
• Molten rain: pools land across her floor, one on your tile; standing in one burns you up to 10 a tick and heals her as much. Then 25 fireballs, one a tick, each aimed where you stood a moment before. Keep walking and none of them hits. She takes half damage while it lasts.
• Frost: she freezes you for no damage, and a hatchling lands 5 tiles away and runs at you. It has 1 hit point; kill it before it reaches you or it bites for 60. She takes no damage until it is dead.
• The specials take turns; her first is chosen at random.

Dragonfire protection against her molten wave

You wear	Takes off
A dragonfire shield	80%
A dragon plate body or plate top	15%
They add up, to nothing at all. The fireballs in her molten rain go through any protection.

What every kill pays

• Always: 55,600 coins and 10 Blood-Runes.
• Two rolls on her main table, below, one after the other.
• Her rares, each rolled on its own. The Elder head always comes by your 50th kill without one.
• On a Slayer task: an extra roll at a Slayer unique (1 in 30).

Her rares, rolled on every kill

Drop	Chance a kill
Elder head	1 in 50, and always by your 50th kill without one

The death chest

• The Hoard floor is deadly. If you die there, your items wait in the chest at the Wyrmmaw's entrance. Buy them back for 100,000 coins.
• Die there again before you collect and the older batch is lost.

Superiors

• Bigger and Badder now covers the four new superiors.
• A superior appears 1 in 200 task kills, or 1 in 100 while you carry a Slayer bell. You need Bigger and Badder unlocked.
• A superior dragon stays 5 minutes; other superiors 3.

The three Slayer uniques

Slayer compass

Point it to Teleport to task for free, once every 30 minutes. The wait starts only once it has moved you, and it doesn't work for Wilderness tasks.

TradeableSuperiors

Slayer bell

While you carry it, superiors appear 1 in 100 task kills instead of 1 in 200.

TradeableSuperiors

Battle horn

Blow it to raise Attack, Strength and Defence by 70% of a super set's boost, once every 10 minutes: at 99, each goes to 112, where a super set gives 118.

It never lowers a stronger boost, and can't be used in duels or events.

TradeableSuperiors

Four offhands

• Worn on your back with any weapon or shield, one at a time.
• Each needs 70 in its skill: Ranged, Magic, Defence or Attack.
• They share the back slot with the Marksman's Quiver and Victor's banner, so you wear one of those at a time.

Ranged 70. Ranged aim +9, Ranged power +5.

Every hit thumps, and a hit at your best possible damage smashes. That's how it looks: its damage is its stats.

TradeableRelicsmith title

1. Get the broken mace

   The Elder dragon drops the Broken ancient dragon mace, 1 in 500 a kill. It trades, so you can also buy one.

2. Bring 8 dragon bars and a hammer

   to the Dragon anvil in the Black Roost's forge camp. You need Smithing 110.

   1Broken ancient dragon mace+8Dragon bar=1Ancient dragon mace

3. Use the broken mace on the anvil

   The first player to forge one becomes the Relicsmith.

1. Forge Bolts

1. Take bars and a hammer to any anvil

   Use a bronze, iron or steel bar on the anvil and pick Forge Bolts. Every bar makes 10 bolts.

   1Bronze bar=10Bronze bolts

   1Iron bar=10Crossbow bolts

   1Steel bar=10Steel bolts

2. Check your level

   Smithing 5 for bronze, 20 for iron and 35 for steel. Bronze bolts and Steel bolts are new.

2. Ember and Piercing bolts

1. Ember bolts, at Fletching 82

   Use Blaze-Runes on Dragon bolts: one Blaze-Rune and one Dragon bolt make one Ember bolt, up to 10 at a time.

   10Blaze-Runes+10Dragon bolts=10Ember bolts

2. Piercing bolts, at Fletching 85

   Use a diamond on Dragon bolts to make 50.

   1Diamond+50Dragon bolts=50Piercing bolts

3. Load the Dragon crossbow

   Both fire only from the Dragon crossbow, which takes Piercing bolts first, then Ember bolts, before any other bolt in your pack.

Ember bolts

One landed hit in 8 sets a monster burning, and the fire spreads to monsters right beside it.

TradeableDragon crossbow

Piercing bolts

Against the armoured lair dragons and the Elder dragon, some shots punch through: they can't miss, and they crack the plate, lowering its Defence for about 30 seconds.

TradeableDragon crossbow

3. How they work

Bolt power (higher hits harder)

Bolt	Power	Made
Bronze bolts	15	Smithing 5
Crossbow bolts (iron)	20	Smithing 20
Steel bolts	25	Smithing 35
Dragon bolts	50
Ember bolts	50	Fletching 82
Piercing bolts	50	Fletching 85

• Ember bolts: one landed hit in 8 sets a monster burning: 3 burns, 1.2 seconds apart. Each burn hits for its heat, which starts at 1 and rises by 1 with each new burn within 30 seconds, up to 3 (1 on bosses). The fire spreads, at heat 1, to every monster right beside the target that could fight you.
• Ice burns hotter: ice giants, ice warriors, ice spiders, the Ice Queen, Frost wyverns and the White dragon take three times the burn. Fire giants, the Infernal dragon and the Elder dragon's molten form never catch.
• Piercing bolts: one shot in 7 at an Armoured, Plated, Crystal or Two-headed dragon (1 in 12 at the Elder dragon) punches through. It can't miss, and it cracks a plate: the dragon's Defence drops by 5% of its base for 30 seconds, up to 3 cracks at once (1 on the Elder dragon).
• You can see both on the hit splat: an orange burst for each burn, a pale blue burst for a punch-through.

How it shoots

Step by step

1. Smith it at the Dragon anvil

   In the Black Roost's forge camp, with a hammer and 5 dragon bars, at 104 Smithing and 99 Fletching.

   5Dragon bar+Hammer=1Dragon hand cannon

2. Cast Dragon cannonballs at the Dragonforge

   At Smithing 102, carrying an ammo mould: 1 dragon bar and 150 cannonballs make 150.

   1Dragon bar+150Cannonball=150Dragon cannonball

3. Or use Dragon scrap

   Armoured, Plated and Crystal dragons drop Dragon scrap. Each piece turns 10 cannonballs into dragon ones at the Dragonforge, and cannonballs you use on the forge take your scrap before a bar.

   1Dragon scrap+10Cannonball=10Dragon cannonball

Dwarf cannons in the lair

• Dwarf cannons work in the Wyrmmaw, except in the Hoard and its mouth.
• Ordinary cannonballs bounce off the new dragons (and pass through the elementals). The classic Blue and Black dragons and the hatchlings still take them.
• Load Dragon cannonballs to fire on the Armoured, Plated, Crystal and Two-headed dragons.
• Aim it yourself: use Dragon cannonballs on your cannon to take control. You lose control after 10 seconds without a shot or if you step away.
• In the lair the aimed shot is held back: against those four dragons it hits as hard as an ordinary cannonball does elsewhere (out of the lair it hits three times as hard and splashes), reloads in 3.6 seconds, doesn't splash, and fires only at a dragon that can reach you.
• The Hoard is cannon-free, and deeper in the lair a cannon needs open floor on all four sides.

Charge

• 80Magic level
• 3 + 3 + 3Air, Blood and Fire runes
• 6 minIt lasts; casting it again starts a fresh 6
• Staff + capeOne god's staff and the same god's cape

Black Hole (Magic 85, members)

• Runes: 2 Death, 2 Cosmic and 2 Air.
• Cast it on a monster to drag it and up to 5 more within 3 tiles together. 2.4 seconds later it collapses, hitting each one a little weaker than Fire wave.
• Only monsters still within 1 tile of the hole when it collapses are hit.
• It never touches players, bosses, event or quest monsters, or a monster someone else is fighting.
• You can open one every 6 seconds.

Writing at the lecterns

• Lecterns stand by the Swamp, Dunes, Summit and Crater circles. Write a batch of pages at once, for half the Write spell's experience: up to 30 at Alchemy 99, fewer at lower levels.
• A page takes 6 seconds, and costs the same runes as casting Write for it, plus a blank page. Stay beside the lectern.
• The Alchemist sells blank pages at 25 coins each, in any amount.
• At Construction 99 you can build your own circle in your garden, and your Lectern can stand there too.

Open to everyone now

• Places and services: the Lumbridge castle range, Doric's anvils, the canal log rafts, digging at the Digsite and its tools, Bray's cannon counter, Merlin's realm whistle, the fishing platform boat and the Fight Arena doors.
• Gear, at its usual level: rune plate bodies and tops, the Dragon sword, the Dragon battle axe and the Dragon square shield.
• Spells: Ardougne Teleport, Watchtower Teleport and Iban Blast (you still need a charged Ember staff).
• Routes: the Gnome Stronghold's gate, ladders and fences, the Entrana monks' ladder, the Desert Mining Camp, and more.
