Talk:Iron dragon

Dungeoneering
The iron dragon is now in Daemonheim, i think this version should be in a separate article to avoid confusion Link oh ki 09:39, April 14, 2010 (UTC)

I personally disagree, merely because that would warrant making articles for every monster that is present in both Daemonheim and runescape at large, and the Daemonheim articles on non-boss monsters don't really tell you anything useful (because everything about them varies apart from the way they fight). UNLESS the monster fights differently in Daemonheim, in which case a section could simply be added to the existing article entitled "Within Daemonheim." Otherwise I think it suffices to say that the monster also exists in Daemonheim (as is currently the case) and perhaps add a clause that the combat statistics of the monsters in Daemonheim vary, so that the statistics in this article don't apply there.

Boss or regular encounter in Dungeoneering?
I think it should be specified if this is a boss monster or regular encounter in Daemonheim. --Effexor 04:21, April 26, 2010 (UTC)

Dragon legs
These don't drop dragon daggers at all, that needs to be removed --Olliebongo 01:30, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

The odds of dropping a dragon platelegs are 1 in 75 with or without the ring of wealth?

I don't know..but i've killed hundreds but never got any good drop at all.

The odds of a d plate is not 1 in 75, its probably closer to 1 in 3000 Link oh ki 09:39, April 14, 2010 (UTC)

slayer?
since when do iron drags require a slayer level? im pretty sure they dont--007qwerty 16:31, 22 June 2008 (UTC)


 * It seems you misunderstand the Slayer Level field in the Infobox. If the slayer level is Not Assigned, the monster isn't assigned as a slayer task (example: Man). If the slayer level is 1, the monster is assignment, but does not require a slayer level (since every player's minimum slayer level is 1, example: any dragons). If the number is above 1, the monster is a slayer monster (example: Crawling Hand). Iron dragons are a slayer assignment, but do not require a slayer level, hence the infobox field is set to 1. I hope that clears it up for you. 17:38, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

but technically u could have something that loweres slayer to 0 and still kill one--007qwerty 00:18, 23 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, but it is just simply the way the wiki decided to make the infobox works. See here for more information. If you want the slayer level to be 0 for monsters to that are assignments but do not require a level, make your case here. Personally, I think its okay as is, since there's only 2 things that can lower slayer level (I think) - Spicy stew and Disease. And both of those are random reductions, no guarantee that it will lower slayer. 13:55, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Bolts
The article says: "Whether this is rumor or not, according to most players, when fighting an Iron Dragon with ranged attacks, they hit higher then the bolt hits the belly of the dragon, as opposed to striking the beast in the mouth with a bolt.". I'm 100% sure that this is not the case, because the game sees a monster as a solid block of monster, not different parts. Can anyone confirm that it is true?

Iron dragons are weak to stab attacks (not crush surprisingly) this is probably because stab attacks pierce through the metal armour hitting the monsters flesh. ranged is similar to stab Link oh ki 16:31, April 16, 2010 (UTC)

Magic contradiction?
In the article it says to use fire spells, and a few lines later it says that they are ineffective. Which one is correct?
 * fire spells are effective. I'll see if Do not use fire spells! These will not hit often, using air, water and earth spells are your best bet when fighting iron dragons is a vandalism.
 * Fixed, thanks for notifying :) 05:12, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

New iron dragons
Can anyone add it to the article where they are? I haven't finished the quest but this hasn't been updated since the new quest -- 20:37, December 3, 2009 (UTC)

Stab em
I heard that metal dragons are extremely weak to stab attacks. Even the leaf-bladed sword can do miracles. Hows that??? (ps. imma gonna test it..) 09:36, December 23, 2009 (UTC)
 * It is odd, but I have seen a guy decimating steel dragons with a zamorakian spear on stab (he must've had super antifires), so it does seem they're very weak to stab. 10:50, December 23, 2009 (UTC)

Wilderness Dragons
I'm not sure if they're new or not, but the other day I was in the back of the wilderness next to the ice giants and I saw some iron dragons to the east behind a big boulder that i couldn't get past lol. Maybe that helps?
 * That's the Ghorrock fortress ones, introduced by The Temple at Senntisten quest (there's steel dragons there too). 16:57, January 19, 2010 (UTC)

Shilo Village
There is a bank in Shilo Village, I know because that's where I deposit all my lovely Red Topaz... and the Cart is rather handy for those who can use it. (Shilo Village Quest) These are the 2 biggest rewards for Karamja gloves 3, as they allow access to the whole of Karamja, basically. --TheLastWordSword 00:28, February 12, 2010 (UTC)

strategy:
when meleeing bronze, iron, or steel dragon there is a technek you stand back one square on the gride away from them. then when they move there head up to use there ranged attack you attack them then step back and repeat. "mookie lucid"
