Things To Know Before Killing KBD

When you go killing King Black Dragons, there will be a wildy run that takes 30 seconds. You should remember to bring items that you think would not be that useful if you lose and die. There are also monsters nearby.

With this boss, there is a suicide method. When you do the suicide method, what you do is fill up your looting bag, and your inventory with supplies. Then you die, and you drop two inventories of items, then it will last in the ground for an hour so you may pick the items up later on.

When you choose between range and melee, the range is better than melee unless your melee level is a lot higher than your range level.

Gear Setup

Melee

When it comes to the best gear for melee, you may want to get a dragon hunter lance, an amulet of torture, and a dragon fire shield. These items are really great, and you should always have them with you. Even if you die, you will still have them. You should also have an ardy cape with you. You may also have a treasonous ring in which an imbued one is a lot better.

You may use a berserker ring instead as an alternative to the treasonous ring. For an inventory, you bring a super combat potion, an extended anti-fire potion, and you should also bring an antidote for poison. Also, bring with you super restores for stats and prayer. Also, bring food to heal yourself with. Bring some house teleports as well as a Ghorrock teleport. A burning amulet teleport is also an alternative that you can use.

Range

For range gear, bring a dragon hunter crossbow alongside a dragon fire ward. You may also bring a twisted bow as an alternative. Bring anguish and an archer ring. You may use the suffering instead of the archer ring. Use diamond dragon bolts for your bolts. They are the best.

Inventory

For an inventory, it’s almost the same as the inventory for melee. You just bring a range potion instead of the super combat potion for range gear.

Other Gear Options

You may go for the hasta instead of a lance. You may also use an amulet of fury instead of an amulet of torture. Use an anti-fire shield instead of a dragon fire shield. You may also use a rapier instead of a lance or an hasta. You may also downgrade the amulet of fury into an amulet of glory and use an abyssal dagger instead of the hasta for stab instead. Go for a stab bonus. This is for the melee gear.

For downgrades for the range gear, you may use a dragon crossbow instead of a dragon hunter crossbow. You may also use the armadyl crossbow instead. Use a fury instead of anguish and an anti-dragon shield instead. Use glory instead of a rune crossbow. Use diamond bolts instead of dragon diamond bolts. You may use ruby bolts instead, too. This gear is also a lot less expensive.

Trover Parchment

You may use this item on the things that you are afraid to lose, such as untradable. You save these items this way. The items will be imbued, and you would not lose them if you die.

KBD Location

You may use the burning amulet teleport or the Ghorrock teleport. You just have to walk for a little bit more after you teleport.

Then you may box monsters when they hit you. Then you just stay in combat and kill them. You may bring a looting bag too to bring more items when you go back to the bank. However, there might be people here who attempt to steal your items.

Killing KBD

You should find a world that is not occupied by another player. Then you drink your anti-fire. Then pray melee.

Stand within melee distance. This way, you would not be damaged when the King Black Dragon attempts to hit you with melee. Then you just go ahead and kill the King Black Dragon. Do not pray mage as it would not do anything. This way, you can just easily kill the King Black Dragon. Then teleport back to your home.

Drop Rates

Here are the things that you can expect from the King Black Dragon. When you attempt to kill the King Black Dragon, you have a 1 in 5,000 chance to get the draconic visit. It is one of the primary drops why people go to kill the King Black Dragon boss.

You also have a 1 in 3,000 chance to get the pet. If you are a pet hunter, you might want to go pet hunting here. You might also want to get the dragon pickaxe with a 1 in 1,500 chance.

You may also get the elite clues for 1 in 450 chance and the King Black Dragon heads with 1 in 128. Many people try to get them as they have various uses, and you can turn them into ensouled heads.

Per hour, you get around 15 to 75 kills of the King Black Dragon and get around 375,000 to 1,900,000 GP per hour. This depends on your level, of course, and the type of gear you use. Probably if you use a rune crossbow at levels 60 to 70, you will only get around 15 kills per hour. If you use a dragon hunter crossbow, you may probably reach around 75 kills per hour solo, but when you are not doing solo, you may kill the King Black Dragon for even more than 75 times per hour.
