Talk:King Black Dragon

I think a lot of players send Jagex letters addressed to this monster. Put that in. --Wiiwantxbox 22:00, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

This article used to say that the KBD has 257 hp, now it says it has 242. Tip.it says it has 257, RuneHQ says 242. What is correct? -- Couchpotato99   (talk)   (contribs)  19:36, 13 August 2006 (UTC)


 * The only reliable way to do it is to get black dragons as a slayer task and kill a KBD, checking how much experience you got. While it's theoretically possibly to count how much damage you do, human error and mistakes caused by the enemy regenrating HP are much more likely. (the only way to allow for the HP regeneration rate is to start attacking straight after one of your own stats has gone up / down by one (they all happen at the same time, always) and start a timer. The number of minutes passed = the amount of HP regenrated. Hard work, but the only way to do it for non-slayer tasks.) Vimescarrot 20:08, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Ruby bolts (e) hit a 48 on it, first hit, meaning that its hitpoints are 240-244. And they were 242 in Classic, and most monster HP's haven't changed. Jard Y Dooku 20:31, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Another good reason to fight the KBD
Where it says the KBD has been loosing popularity due to the loot it drops being obtainable from easier monsters... there may be one more good reason to fight the KBD. From what I've read on here the KBD has the highest chance of dropping the Draconic Visage, as it just says "(very rare)" next to it. I can definately see this as a good reason to fight it. Should this be mentioned? Superkid711 00:05, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

it's a very rare drop so don't expect it a lot but killing 300 king black dragons would and might get you a nice draconic visage =) or otherwise other good drops.Johnjack922 15:06, 26 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I really wouldn't count on it, guys. Don't get confident. User:Chisseysks/project1. Chissey 17:05, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Anti-Dragon Shield
Does an AntiDragon shield work well against it? I was just wondering.... Emosworld 10:06, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, it is a dragon...


 * The D'fire shield will protect you from his D'fire attacks, not his melee attacks. JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  10:08, 15 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Ok, thanks. Emosworld 23:01, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Anti-Dragon Shield
The Anti-Dragon shield and the antifire potion are the only two ways of protection from all dragons' fire breath attacks (and ONLY their fire breath, not any other attack), including the KBD. If a player attempts to fight him without using the shield or potion, he will be able to kill him/her in A SINGLE HIT. He is one of two monsters who are capable of doing so.
 * Really? And what's the other? JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  22:09, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

The other monster that can kill you in a single hit is none other than TzTok-Jad (level-702)
 * Oh, of course. But I've never heard of either of these beasties actually doing 99 damage in one hit. JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  22:11, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Believe it or not, I fought the KBD last night with a few friends and won twice. He looks different now, so should we update the picture?14:32, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes - but keep the old one for a "trivia" section. Don't upload over the current one, just upload one under a new name. JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  16:40, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Should I keep my old fake or update it to the new KBD look? This is random, here at the top.17:00, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
 * That's entirely up to you. JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  19:24, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Even Jad can't actually hit 99, it's something like 94/96 Tobylane
 * Jad's max hit is 97. -- [[Image:Helm_of_neitiznot_(charged).png‎]]  Azaz129   [[Image:Crystal_shield.png‎]]   Talk     Edits     Contribs    17:15, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Old image...
Any one can upload nw version of KBD? --Rtz 10:23, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I would, but I got it only when it's dying and dissapearing. I don't know when our next KBD-slaying trip will be, so...yeah, sorry.

I have uploaded a new image of it and added the old attacking one under attacks. I thought it was too good of a picture to just toss. SkullKid700 18:45, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

spinning
I went to the kbd with 20 other player, it is possible to make him spin and not attack anyone, but only if you all run round him in a circle, otherwise he will still attack. 12:39 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Uses of these drops section
I've deleted this section. It is a pointless section as it duplicates information found in the individual articles, it shows only one point of view, it's all common sense and it doesn't belong in the article anyway. Comments below if you don't like this change.

clues
ive heard the KBD drops level 3 clues but ive never had one drop it myself--Kohora 19:07, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

they do drop clue scroll lvl 3 but however sometimes it depends that means sometimes rare matter of luck.Johnjack922 15:02, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

3 Heads?
Arn't Multi-headed Dragons usualy called "Hydra's"???Forerunner 14:44, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Uneeded picture of player wearing dragon
I noticed a picture of a player wearing dragon.... the article states its there for the showining of its d med helm drop but i dont think it is needed...--Zeeus 03:55, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Basic Fighting tactics/inventory
Should we add a small section for newer players who want to fight the kbd for the first time? This means people who don't know what items to bring or use, or what prayer to use, etc. Kind of a Basic Tactics section of sorts. KBD is easy, especially with a group, but it's time consuming when bringing a group with new people and telling them what they need to bring to survive. I can write up my suggestions, but I only ever really use melee, so if someone uses mage or ranged, it could be useful to put their thoughts in too. Any ideas on this? 16:22, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
