Runescape - Indepth Frost Dragon Melee Guide - 2012 Up to Date

[PyroManCraig]

Great vid, and if I use a dfs, and dont have access to super anti-dragonfire pots, would regular dragonfire pots completely negate the damage taken from fire? And what is the fairy ring code that you use?

[DrakkenRs]

@PyroManCraig Dfs and antifire will work fine definately, ALQ is the code. :)

Tyyy :D

[PyroManCraig]

@DrakkenRs And also, should i always pray protect from mage?

[DrakkenRs]

@PyroManCraig I switch prays personally but if you don't want too then mage is best to keep active.

[uliketobeingtazed]

can ardougne cloack 3 be used? 6 stab attack and 6 pray

[DrakkenRs]

@uliketobeingtazed Yeah ardy cape works well i'd think, not sure how amazing it would be with a yak but with a tort would work well i'd say.

[dragonmehg1]

Name OF Song?

[DrakkenRs]

@dragonmehg1 All songs at the end in order.

[techreader]

Great guide. It helped me a lot.

[DrakkenRs]

@techreader Ty yw :)

[SelectionSeven]

great guide and music thanks a ton!! :D

[Loveallasone3]

How many bones do you get in an hour roughly?

[SelectionSeven]

@Loveallasone3 btw you make 2-3m per hour, idk how many bones but 2-3m per hour :D

[DrakkenRs]

@SelectionSeven Tyyyy and yw;

lmao cheers for replying to him :P saved me a quite job xd hope you make bank.

[Loveallasone3]

@SelectionSeven Heheheheh. I just went to them today, the cannon really packs a punch!

[tecatez]

Excellent video. It's clear that you put alot of work and effort into this, and it sure payed off. I have ooone question, though. I couldn't tell the difference between how the ranged and magic attacks looked when you were switching prayers. Could you describe how each of them looks? Thanks.

[DrakkenRs]

@tecatez Mage is like a water shoot flying at you it's really easy to spot the difference once you seem them a few times and range is a blue arrow, as the dragon uses either range or mage against you it doesn't ever use a different attack style so it'l always be range or mage til that dragon dies :)

[OldChickens]

is it just me because im 99 atk 90 str and def with a tort. I use same gear except for shield which in my case im using a ddef. But i bring 1 super attack 1 super strength 1 reg. antifire and 1 prayer pot. I use all my prayer pot and 3/4doses on the other pots.

[XxBlakVirusxX]

@OldChickens hmm i must be doing something wrong they hit me alot haha

[XxBlakVirusxX]

@DrakkenRs i was wondering what r u doing to take like no melle dmg from them my deff is only 95 but i still get hit and hit alot and often(and i use the same set u do when i go)

[DrakkenRs]

@XxBlakVirusxX Nothing just wearing high melee def gear is all. You sure it's not the aura your just not seeing it? Cause there melee isn't very accurate on myself :s

[OldChickens]

@XxBlakVirusxX Im 90 def with bandos and i only get hit by ranged and i bring 20 sharks, and only eat 0-5 sharks a trip :3 and i use a tort

[MrJAGO111]

Great :) In the range guide you forgot to metion 85 dung lol.

[DrakkenRs]

@MrJAGO111 facepalm lmao ;) nicely spotted.

[iPredator3]

full dragon ftw.

[XxBlakVirusxX]

hey very nice vid liked

[DrakkenRs]

@XxBlakVirusxX Ty :)

[Darkecoo]

blacmill fan ftw

[Darkecoo]

bandos doesnt give great def

[DrakkenRs]

@Darkecoo It's overall good gear though, with a str boost xd, thats why i also say torag.

Hi5 for blackmill! ;D

[Darkecoo]

@DrakkenRs yea sorry man i missunderstood my bad =/

[DrakkenRs]

@Darkecoo All good :))

[jdepwnz]

And also what are we suppoed to take inside our war tort

[Astrobearr]

@jdepwnz Nothing?



[jdepwnz]

What if we dont have an enhanced excalibur and no ext's?

[DrakkenRs]

@jdepwnz Replace with normal pots like i showed and no spec wep, enhanced exc was just for healing not required.

War tort doesnt have to have anything in, but if you want you can put some food/extra ppot if needed.

[toboaap]

nice guide it seems like u took a lot of time to make this for us, i give u a like and fav ( 4k subs )

-otda

[DrakkenRs]

@toboaap Appreciate it :)

[DaHenzeSg]

got hacked for 700m got 2m u reckon i cud just go rune gear?

[TheYoeriBuis]

@DaHenzeSg yes! you will make money quick for torag etc.

[DrakkenRs]

@DaHenzeSg Yeah easily you can use rune there as a main gear but i can't garentee the trips being amazing.

[TheHanx]

Awesome guide man, I`ll soon be 85 dung, and then frost drags, but I got one question. Im 99 str, attack, and mage, alos 94 def, but only 31 ranged (yea lol) so do the cannon hit like shit, or should I go lvl ranged first?

[DrakkenRs]

@TheHanx It'l hit, but not very well i'd advice training it to say 50-60 then it should be better

[garanwolf]

Thank you soo much for the guide it was great! keep up the good work very helpful!!!

[DrakkenRs]

@garanwolf thanks :))

[Thepokemonmies]

Does aura hit you if you use cannons?

[Thepokemonmies]

is 94str 89 att and 70def ok?

[DrakkenRs]

@Thepokemonmies Yeah them combats would be fnie i'd say, and no if the cannon shoots the aura worst thats gonna happen is it wastes the cannonballs :)

[JgaEditz]

What would you say at the end of 1hour would make you more cash, doing melee/cannon or just melee.

[DrakkenRs]

@JgaEditz Good question but educated guess i would go with cannon, due to the kills for me being more than 4 times faster i can pull in nearly 200 bones within a trip if im lucky (yak)

[JgaEditz]

Using a cannon is faster but doesn't it waste more money opposed to just using melee on the Frost Dragons? (Cannonballs)

[DrakkenRs]

@JgaEditz Yes but you have to remember taking a cannon has multiple upsides as well as downsides, few upsides - the kills are faster, drags are attacked by the cannon luring them onto you, few downsides are - price of cballs is shit (costing me a bomb to get 99 rc) and resetting down the cannon.

Its all personal preference whether you take a cannon, but don't forget if the world has a few people in the safest way to secure your kills is a cannon, regardless of the price there is profit.

[8MrZwel8]

Errmmm, im only 51herb so can i do this:: Gear:: Helm:: Veracs Body:: Torags Legs:: Veracs Boots:: D boots Weapon:: Rapier Shield:: Anti-dragon shield Cape:: Strength cape or Obby cape Amulet:: Glory ________________- Could you please give me an alternative inventory??

[DrakkenRs]

@8MrZwel8 Thats a great setup don't worry.

During the video i did show a setup for lower levels, use that as your guideline and use that for a few trips, work out what you don't need e.g. as much food as shown so on and then you'l find out the invent that suits you best. Gl.

[EatNadesSon]

you can also use staff of light to poke them: same melee strength as whip and they have a stab attack as well ;)

[DrakkenRs]

@EatNadesSon lmao

[untouchedderp]

What Hyper cam are you using?

[DrakkenRs]

@untouchedderp I don't use it, Camtasia is what i use.

[helloman136]

man you should really make commentary guides they would be so awesome.

[DrakkenRs]

@helloman136 Ty! :o I wouldn't mind commentating for guides believe me would make life so much easier, my only problem is my mic is a desk mic sadly (static and shit) and i need to buy like a super headset (cause im picky) but trust me i plan to buy one asap for commentary videos :D

[123456789080383]

very nice guide ihope you make another vid's in future!

[DrakkenRs]

@123456789080383 Ty :)) yes i plan to as soon as my time is free again :P

[Boydogblues]

lol " XP:lots!"

i have a question, if i pray protect mage and use a regular antifire pot then their dragonfire cant hurt me right?

[DrakkenRs]

@Boydogblues Haha i lost my exp counter recently :(

Yeahha thats right, antifire + mage pray is 100% fire protection just don't try to soul split or pray range and your safe :P

[DaPartyAnimal1]

@DrakkenRs Is there a way to tell if they're going to attack using range or mage? I'm still confused on the whole aura/ shield thing.. and do you still think this is still good for money making at lvl 114?

[DrakkenRs]

@DaPartyAnimal1 No sadly its just if they hit hope your praying right, if not switch pray before they have the chance to hurt you. The aura shield comes out after like 7-8 hits with a rapier usually so its safe to say if they don't die by that your stuck waiting for the aura to vanish just don't hit them while its out. And yeah its still decent steady money i'd say.

[DaPartyAnimal1]

@DrakkenRs K thanks m8 ;) How much money you think I could make with the gear you were using per hour? (with war tort) Subbed btw

[DrakkenRs]

@DaPartyAnimal1 Yw :) When i tested war tort bones had pretty much peaked due to the lack of guides, (as in no frost guides was out) i made around 1.7m after deducting the cballs/pots etc costs so was good for a war tort, probably be around 1.5m now more than likely more i'd say. Gl and cheers ;)

[mikelroxy]

The one thing you missed in your guide is if a person is using war tortoise and they want to max their Gp/h how to they leave the cannon in the lair without it automatically decaying. If anyone has any tips on this please inbox me or add me on rs : Abus3d pot . This is a really good guide and thanks it was very helpful

[DrakkenRs]

@mikelroxy I can't add how they can get there max GP P/H due to the prices changing all the time, only way that could be done is the turmoil/piety and kill them fast.

Before banking pick up the cannon and place it back down, you may have to drop a few items for a moment.

And ty :)

[FinnersSC]

Very in dept guide, the best i've found so far, Gj!

I'm curious... how many bones do you average per hour?

[DrakkenRs]

@FinnersSC Thanks, i don't remember the amount but its approx 2-3m worth.

[n0madqwester]

Oh my god! Very cool vid I appreciate thanks. Best guide ever see.

[DrakkenRs]

@n0madqwester Tyyyyy :]]] <3

[qwop3636]

when banking do you pick up your cannon?

[DrakkenRs]

@qwop3636 If im banking & coming back, i drop stuff, set my cannon and then pick my stuff back up, bank then sorted.

[qwop3636]

@DrakkenRs yea i was just wondering because when i try to leave my cannon there so someone doesnt steal my spot i always come back and its gone

[DrakkenRs]

@qwop3636 Yeah just place it back down when your about to bank and it'l be there when your back.

[MaRkSmAn914]

how do you know when to switch between mage or range prayers?

[DrakkenRs]

@MaRkSmAn914 Pray mage then when you see if its range/mage switch, mage will hit more than melee when wearing melee gear you see.

They will only do range OR mage not both, each dragon has a set attack combat.

And agreed.

[MaRkSmAn914]

@DrakkenRs i just went, and had a little problem...im guessing you NEED an anti d shield now, cause when they use range and i pray range, they still use fire breath...

[DrakkenRs]

@MaRkSmAn914 Well yeah, why would a dragon not use its breath as an attack, like i said it uses 1/3 types of combat e.g. melee, range or mage.

[MaRkSmAn914]

@DrakkenRs so one of the 3 attack types + fire breath...didn't know that. thought fire breath counted as it using mage. almost died lol had like 300 hp left. guess ill bring anti d shield next time. or super antifires if i can make them, gotta check it out. like i said earlier, they should put them back to normal...it seems like jagex forgot to undo the changes they made to disorient bots, which are no longer around.

[DrakkenRs]

@MaRkSmAn914 If your subbed you'l see i uploaded a video earlier on today as i got a random event i found a bot (broken) trying to hunt in the Fishing random event with the evil cat, sadly not all bots have been stopped but i can safely say jagex are doing something about it with the recent ibot being taken to court.

In a sense i do agree, they should be changed back but again i don't, this way frost bones are kept at a better price instead of being afkable :P

Also your welcome :)

[MaRkSmAn914]

@DrakkenRs oh and thanks for the help =)

[MaRkSmAn914]

wait...they use ranged attacks too now? and if they use a ranged attack, that means that's what they're gonna use until they die, or do they switch between magic and ranged? they should put frosts back the way they used to be since all the bots are gone anyway....doesn't make sense to punish the legit players by dealing with this harder way to kill them.

[MaicoBouman]

Another alternative to ring: Ring of Vigour.

[DrakkenRs]

@MaicoBouman If you want to use a vigour go ahead, good choice.

[Marowo850]

do cannon balls worth it even when they are now at 450 gp ea? and why dont u use dragon defender/ calws since u can easily get you hp back up anyways by soul split flashing? and is it better to use exts or ovlds? thanks :D

[DrakkenRs]

@Marowo850 You use like 8-12 cballs at best per kill but it speeds up kills bringing in more money + if its a high populated world it'l grab kills for you, I dont use claws because if timed wrong your gonna give yourself alot of damage. I have nearly 600 ovls but i dont recommend wasting them here. I use ddef myself so you can if your good at them.

[Marowo850]

@DrakkenRs thanks :)

[b0uf]

When do u repot (extrems)?

[DrakkenRs]

@b0uf At 99 im boost to 124/125 i repot at 110-115

[lilkikersman]

Amazing guide! Just started playing again after 6months and this was very helpful :) Subbed!

[DrakkenRs]

@lilkikersman Thanks :D glad i helped another player out :) best of luck gl on them vissys!

[lilkikersman]

@DrakkenRs Haha, I'll deff need it :D and you too!

[69MyLumpyCustard]

great guide i just got back from a year break :] gonna go own some frosties :P

[DrakkenRs]

@69MyLumpyCustard Besta luck :D

[69MyLumpyCustard]

@DrakkenRs man amazing i can do a trip in 17 mins :D

[DrakkenRs]

@69MyLumpyCustard Goooooooood :) hope ya make bank loooot :P

[Jayy1903]

Great guide, best one out there keep it up! Liked, and Favorited :)

[DrakkenRs]

@Jayy1903 Thanks :D

[iTzAndyXx]

why only 2 dose anti fire?

[DrakkenRs]

@iTzAndyXx Each dose lasts 6 minutes, with a tort you probably will only need 1 antifire but its there for a safety precausion incase frosts are kinda full and it takes longer to get kills.

[1BLONDEAU]

Hey I would first like to tell you how nice of a guide you have made and that I was able to take a few tips, but also if you find yourself willing I would like to receive an inbox from you in order to further discuss the topic of frosties. because i to believe that I have a certain knowledge of frosties that you could benefit from and possibly include in future guides if you find yourself in a situation where you would like to make another. If you do decide to take me up my offer I would love t

[DrakkenRs]

@1BLONDEAU Sure i'll see what you know :p ty

[mikelroxy]

umm if your using a tortoise atm and you do many trips back to back how can you keep your cannon in the frosties lair and have it not dissapear?

[DrakkenRs]

@mikelroxy Pick up the cannon o and then set it again while you bank, go to bank, come back, pick it back and then set it again, even when the cannon is not shooting it only lasts so long before it degrades, message in the chatbox tells you its nearly degraded meaning 1 minute to pick up and set back down.

[PvmElegance]

Could I please get a the song name?

[PvmElegance]

@PvmElegance

Nevermind im stupid >.<

[DrakkenRs]

@PvmElegance :P np

[TapThatYak]

great guide yet again .. 

[Kiespark1]

Wow man both ur 2 guides r sik!

[crazyktb]

5/5 gr8 guide + music

but you forgot somthing... divine + elly they can absorb all attack style :P ...

and after the bots are gone jagex shd make frosts easy again

[DrakkenRs]

@crazyktb Ty :D

I thought about divine/ely but then i thought this is a money making guide if people had divine/ely they could probably nex or corp so i thought i'd leave that out.

But yeah, so true i think jagex did this so the frost bones would keep a decent value.

[TheAlzamily]

@DrakkenRs awesome vid was looking for 2012 guide thx ;p

[DrakkenRs]

@TheAlzamily :D ty & yw

[SimplePlanxforlife]

[TyIsaac123]
