Talk:Steel dragon

Maybe a picture of the new steel dragon.. 22:57, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

User:Raanyar, you just added the *Adamantite bar (2) to the drop list. Are you really sure this isn't a drop from a nearby iron dragon? Because i'm killing a lot of steel dragons currently and i got no addy bar drop so far. 19:15, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Price for Cons
Is the 10m required to have it in your throne room the highest price for any item?

(Any item meaning an item that is not bought from other players.)

I have no clue what you are talking about, so let me clarify about the steel dragon in a house. In a house, you can "build" a steel dragon ONLY in your treasure room, provided that you have at LEAST 92 construction with a cup of tea, at the cost of 10m. There are other guardians you can build in your treasure room, but they are all less expensive.--Pkthis 00:48, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Not true its acaully 89-90 con with a 3 dose evil stew and getting a lucky boost of 6 or 5 respectivly. 90 con has a better chance of receiving the boost as a +6 boost with the stew is very rare. Oh and it would be nice to post a max for the "fire breath" on the monster's stats. BTW steel dragon is NOT the most expensive construction item, its the demonic throne which costs 25 magic stones!(975k X 25 = 24.375mill) --Fools! Da wabbit is dead... 21:36, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Cleanup
I've marked this page for cleanup, mostly because the drop list has suspicious drops (11 gold charms?), and the article contains a lot of player slang. I'd make these changes myself, but I don't know much about steel dragons and can't confirm any information about then. --Psycho Robot 07:52, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Needs revision
This article is a bit too vague, when it comes to actually killing these. It definitely needs a "Strategy section", but since I'm new to this wiki's style, I'm not sure if I could pull it off properly. Anyone mind making a start? DjIceman 01:42, December 13, 2009 (UTC)
 * Don't be discouraged by being new to the wiki, be bold, and if you do make mistakes then they can easily be fixed. The hardest part is actually writing down the text, not knowing how to link pages or add headers. 01:55, December 13, 2009 (UTC)
 * Teeeheee... ¬_¬ Wouldn't want to be too bold now. :P Anyway, is there a good section for finding templates? Are there any 'styles' I should follow before making a whole 'strategy' section? If I make this strategy section, can I use it widely on many similar pages? Can I make my own template for a "Recommended levels" list? I just found out about Wikia and it's templates yesterday, to be honest. I'm a quick learner, some might say. :P

 * What kind of template are you looking for?? RuneScape:Templates has a lot of the standard templates that are used. If that is not what you mean, then Help:Contents has links to nearly every help page on the whole wiki. Nobody has ever talked about unifying all strategy sections, so you are free to do whatever you want with it since there are no real expectations for what a strategy section looks like. They are all different. As for the template, you don't have to ask about it. If you think it is a good idea to make one, then make one. 05:05, December 13, 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks! :) You've been very helpful! =) DjIceman 05:57, December 13, 2009 (UTC)
 * No problem. If you ever need any more help, feel free to leave a message on my talk page. 09:59, December 13, 2009 (UTC)

Wewt! Done! :) Well, I put in a lot of information. If someone could make sure that other parts of the article doesn't contain duplicates of the information provided in the Strategy section, it would be great. :) DjIceman 10:30, December 13, 2009 (UTC)

Some complete moron messed up the whole format! -.- Someone corrected his writing and now I can't revert back. >_> How do I see the previous source? >_< 15:20, December 15, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, no wait... He/she added another section! Wewt! :o 15:24, December 15, 2009 (UTC)

*sigh* The whole Brimhaven dungeon section is a nightmare... I feel like it needs to be removed, or heavily modified. 15:32, December 15, 2009 (UTC)
 * You can click on the date in the history section for it to take you to what the page was then. (see here)Be weiry when doing this in case there has been an edit since which you want to keep.
 * Also, while you can think that someone is a moron, you should never vocalise it because it is never necessary to say in a conversation (see user treatment policy). 00:50, December 16, 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, I was shocked to see, that most of my work had been REMOVED. I know about the date and that you can click on it... BUT, what if I want to see the old source? 07:14, December 16, 2009 (UTC)
 * If you click the edit button, then you see the old source. 11:13, December 16, 2009 (UTC)
 * No, it just gives me the current one. :/ 19:04, December 16, 2009 (UTC)
 * This is the page that I go to when I click on the edit button on an old edit. You should get a warning message at the top of the page about you editing an old version of the page. 00:28, December 17, 2009 (UTC)

Cleanup
I'm thinking of removing the whole Brimhaven dungeon section. Maybe, just maybe spreading some of the information elsewhere. Thoughts? 18:18, December 17, 2009 (UTC)


 * My thought was to create a strategies sub-page and move all of this information there, so that anyone looking for information on the creature itself wouldn't be.... distracted by this new section. Then, that sub-page can be improved independently. I started to make the sub-page, then thought to check here first for discussion... JalYt-Mej-Wynde 19:17, December 17, 2009 (UTC)


 * I don't know... A sub page makes the information kind of too spread, in my opinion. 21:01, December 17, 2009 (UTC)

All the methods
I dont see why the guthans, bones to peaches and food methods are listed, as I have never seen any1 try to use the guthans one (too slow) or the bones to peaches (too slow), and the only attempts ive seen with food only merit a couple of kills, so not even worth suggesting. You should however include a but about tanking them with a unicorn for healing, as with good armour and 95+ defence you can just about manage, though antifires are also needed. By far the best melee method is using prayer.

Also, for range and mage there should only be methods with antifire potions mentioned, as any other method will result in the person dying before they could kill even 1 dragon, or using so much food that antifire potions would be cheaper. I mean, yes, you could use those other methods, but in the bandos boss article they dont give methods for trying to solo him using a rubber chicken, do they. Only practical methods will help.

Weakness.
I recently purchased a Staff of Light, and had steel dragons for Slayer. And as usual I look up their weakness, Fire spells? Alright.. I decide to use Fire Wave to kill steel dragons.

I had the best gear, even seers ring (i) the amount of splashing was incredible, steels took minutes to kill.

The other weakness is stab, and to my surprise it died within seconds. With a zamorak spear.

So where did you guys got that its weakness was fire spells? That's incorrect information.

Even whipping it, is a lot faster. AnemoneS2 19:32, February 22, 2010 (UTC)

Math gone evil

Dragon Plateleg Drop
Dragon Platelegs (1/75) - Where did that come from? I myself and people I know have killed hundreds/thousands of steels and gotten 2-3 dragon platelegs.

I personally JUST got my first pair and I've killed at least 1,000.


 * The drop lists aren't supposed to have the exact rate anyway, it's impossible to tell. The drops are random. BlazeTheMovieFan 14:33, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

Do steel dragons really drop 3 soul runes?
I have fought many steel dragons and never once got 3 soul runes. However I have gotten 5 soul runes several times. You shouldn't mix up the things steel dragons drop with the things that iron dragons drop. I'm sure whoever changed the drop quanity to 3 had good intentions, so I'm gonna discuss instead of just undoing his edotþ

Which leads me to another question, do they really drop adamant sq shield? Acordding to the list, they drop adamant kiteshield as uncommon drops, but sq as rare. I really think someone messed it up with iron dragons. BlazeTheMovieFan 01:06, March 1, 2011 (UTC)

Yew log drop
I just got a drop of 4284 noted yew logs from a steel dragon in Kuradal's. I don't see this on the drop table. New or a glitch? I wasn't wearing a row at the time. AnselaJonla
