Green Dragons can be found in a variety of places. South of Venenatis, West of the Dark Warriors Fortress, North of the Graveyard of Shadows, South of the Lava Maze, Wilderness Slayer Cave, and Corsair Cove Dungeon. Note many of these locations are in the wilderness making them a popular spot for PK’ers to camp so be careful and make sure you have an escape route and don’t risk to much in your inventory when killing these dragons!

Equipment and Inventory

When hunting Green Dragons, it’s important to have the right equipment and inventory to make the most out of your trip. The most important item to bring is an antifire potion, as Green Dragons have a powerful dragonfire attack that can hit up to 50 damage without protection. The next important item is a good weapon and armor, with a dragonfire ward or dragonfire shield being recommended for the best protection against dragonfire.

In terms of inventory, it’s recommended to bring a good amount of food, as Green Dragons can hit hard and food is essential to keep your health up. It’s also recommended to bring a few prayer potions to keep your prayer points up, as well as some super energy potions to help with running.

Strategies and Tactics

When hunting Green Dragons, it’s important to have a good strategy and know how to effectively use your equipment and inventory. One popular strategy is to use the “safespot” technique, where you lure the dragon to a specific spot where it can’t hit you with its dragonfire attack. Another popular strategy is to use the “prayer flicking” technique, where you quickly switch between the Protect from Magic prayer and the Dragonfire Ward or Anti Dragon Shield to minimize damage taken.

It’s also important to have good timing when using your special attacks, as well as knowing when to use your antifire potion and food. It’s also recommended to hunt with a team, as this will make the fight much easier and increase your chances of success.

Drops and Rewards
