A player receiving a dragon medium helmet as a drop from a Black Dragon in Taverly dungeon.
Black dragons are the second strongest type of dragon in RuneScape Classic after the King Black Dragon. They can be found at the end of the Taverley dungeon and also within the Wilderness' Lava Maze dungeon.
Strategy[]
Like all dragons (except the KBD), fighting them using the Paralyze Monster prayer is very helpful as they cannot fight back. Bring restore prayer potions. Consider bringing along a few super Attack and super Strength potions OR potions of Zamorak with sharks to increase the kill rate.
Regardless of which potions the player brings, sharks or other high-healing food should be included to counter the minimal dragonfire damage taken when initiating combat, and for emergencies. A teleportation method and fire+nature runes for high level alchemy are also recommended. Don't bother with a fire staff variant because fire runes are a common drop.
Recommended equipment[]
Dragon sword- Anti dragon breath shield (Failure to equip this shield while fighting dragons is very dangerous as they can hit very high numbers.)
- Monks robe (top)
- Monks robe (bottom)
- Holy symbol of Saradomin (highest Prayer bonus)
- Charged Dragonstone Amulet (combat stats and teleportation)
