Killing frost dragons
NEW BETTER VID HERE:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdm5cn1RZCQ
This vid is showing one of my frost dragon trips. This one took 17minutes and i got 28 frost dragon bones (616k gp), including the time to get there and the connection lost i had (40 seconds). With this rate i should get 98-99 frost dragon bones per hour which is ~2.15m gp per hour (22k gp ea frost dragon bone). However, i have done better, i can get 110 frost dragon bones per hour (2.4m gp per hour). I will update this description later when i can kill more dragons per hour and how much gp/h i get in average :)
------
UPDATE: Now i can already average 2.7m - 3.5m gp per hour (110 - 145 frost dragon bones per hour) depending on luck, how crowded it is and how focused i am :)
------
It took me 1 minute and 47 seconds from that i teleported from Castle wars till i had set up and loaded my cannon.
I use Chaotic longsword's stab attack, extreme strength and attack, super defence and a cannon. I am not used to cannon yet and mess up alot :p
I cannot have a Pack yak so i use War tortoise instead, so i have to bank my drops every 15-17minutes.
Frost dragons have cb lvl 166 and use melee and magic attacks, i use the magic protect prayer.
They are located in a Dungeoneering reward dungeon inside the Asgarnia ice dungeon. You need level 85 Dungeoneering to access this reward dungeon.
They always drop Dragon frost bones which are worth 22k atm and that makes them very profitable to kill.
They can also drop Ancient effigies and Draconic visage.
I recommend using a cannon, before using cannon i only had about 1m - 1.5m gp/h, and when using cannon 2m - 2.4m gp/h. In this vid i only fired 263 cannonballs, not too expensive. :p
I am well aware that there probably are many other better ways to kill these dragons than the way i did it.
I dont know what is the best gear, inventory setup, cannon spot etc :p
Probably 3-4m gp/h is possible if knowing whats best to do :p
Also i think the price of frost dragon bones might go up to 30-40k ea(lol it seems that i was very wrong about that :p), which makes this even more profitable.
But sooner or later enough players will have reach 85 dungeoneering and this place will eventually be crowded, i think.
My inventory, gear etc:
Inventory:
1 ring of duelling (Teleport to castle wars bank)
1 Extreme attack potion (1 dose per trip)
1 Extreme strength potion (1 dose per trip)
1 Super defence (1 dose per trip)
1 Super antifire potion (3-4 doses per trip)
2 Prayer potions (Im not sure if i really need 2, 1 might be enough)
Cannon parts
Cannonballs
10 Rocktails
1 Tortoise pouch (Summoned when i arrive at frost dragons)
1 POH teleport (used to get to Rimmington fast and from there run southeast to Asgarnia ice dungeon)
Equipment:
Full slayer helm (Just because i dont have anything else ^^)
Proselyte hauberk (Prayer bonus)
Proselyte cuisse (Prayer bonus)
Blue cape (a.k.a. souls wars cape, i wear it for its prayer bonus)
Amulet of glory (I dont have anything better atm :p)
Regen bracelet (str bonus)
Ring of wealth (just in case it improves drop rates of good drops ^^)
Chaotic longsword (Nice stab stats and one-handed)
Rune defender (Str bonus)
Dragon boots (str bonus)
Familiar:
War tortoise (18 extra slots which i use to fill up with frost dragon bones)
In the end of the trip i droped some items to make room for my cannon :p You can leave your cannon to make room for more drops and then get the cannon back from the dwarf later, but i prefer not to do that :p
Aslo i dropped wrong items, i should had dropped the nearly worthless super defence potion and not the death runes ^^

Actually all you need is an antifire plus anti dragon shield.. you don't need mage pray. It's not hitting cuz of your potion combined with your shield. At least its like this with other dragons, never tried with frosts.

On these dragons you need mage pray. But only regular antifire and no shield.

Why super antif when you pray mage all the time anyways?

I found at a little bit later that mage pray + regular antifire had the exakt same effect :P
