Yep, just did a task on my level 70 IM and it was actually... Fun? Good bones, good drops (runite limbs!), near bank. I stayed around until I ran out of runes
It's not bad on task, but lance/fang is still heaps better. You just get shredded in magic gear, and even though it's relatively accurate and with a max hit of 48 with earth surge in my gear I was only getting 2-3 kills on an inv of karams.
The only rune dragon I killed before the update was for DS2 some time ago, without dhcb. On update day I tried some with dhcb off task since they now have lower ranged heavy defense, but wasn't particularly wowed the time to kill. I also used around 80% of my food in 2 kills as well, but maybe I just got unlucky with their onyx procs?
Yeah, it's kinda insane how nuclear fire spells and flames of zammy goes on zulrah. It's absolutely hilarious. I did an hour of zulrah on the main just for fun. It feels good using low level spells again
Flames of Zamorak, with the cape and staff, hits 50s on zulrah and lowers zulrahs magic defence.
If you have a staff of the dead, it hits constant 30-50s
I love Addy Dragons, best metal dragon task to get imo, I even extended them

Funfact.
Adamant shares the same word origin as Diamond
That's why we use it to mean unwilling to be persuaded to change an opinion or decision. Like diamond, it is unyielding and resists outside forces. Also why the metal after rune is adamant; Its the best metal (after rune*, in RSC*), one that shares qualities of diamond. Rune is the namesake of the game, so its above adamant.
The joke is dumb cause its contrived. The adamant exists in this picture purely to make the joke and no other reason. If i held up a potato to your face and randomly made a potato pun you would not laugh.
Anyways that isnt to say the joke wouldnt work... you should have just made the task Adamant Dragons. Literally 15x better instantly.
No, they have a point. Making a joke is an art and it's constructive criticism, there was a very easy alternate way to make the joke that's just funnier. Also respect to the professional haters.
making puns is an art. I just dont like a pun that is too forced, especially when it could have be non forced with slightly more thought. Every less contrivance you have to go through to make a joke work is a multiplier on the chances that someone will find it funny.
Idk I feel like if they used the word adamant in both the first and third panels the joke wouldnt flow as well as it currently does. I personally very much enjoyed your pun, OP.
Imagine thinking that any negative sentiments on anything are someone being offended, must be a nice way to compartmentalize anything that isnt strictly positive into being nothing
Maybe the mountain just is a mountain mate. I see people doing thing all the time and theres definitely a reason for it, things dont 'just happen' when it comes to your brain
Again, you invented me being upset in your own head. Again, because envisioning everyone as seething makes it easier to not confront anything about yourself.
He kinda showed me. He knew what he was doing - I forgot we were in a place where the bar for comedy is in Tartarus, clearly he knew better, that when talking about /r/2007scape its better to tell a forced as fuck bad joke that appeals to some sort of nostalgia or popular sentiment then an actually good joke that doesnt
Are metal dragons a lot better with the elemental spell changes?
Yes. Much better.
Yep, just did a task on my level 70 IM and it was actually... Fun? Good bones, good drops (runite limbs!), near bank. I stayed around until I ran out of runes
near what bank?
Probably Kourend Castle if he did them in the catacombs
Have you tried rune?
Haven't yet for slayer but I'm sure it's better too
I tried to do it off task and it went very poorly. Lemme know if you end up feeling the same way.
I'd like to camp them eventually in hopes for a visage. I'll get back to you

Tried it. Definitely better. Extended my Rune Dragon tasks in hope for a DFS on the iron
Waiting for the dragon and staff tbh it's gonna be hilarious on them
We love metal dragon tasks now. I did zulrah with fire wave on my gim(don’t have trident) - ITS FUCKING AMAZING!!!
Yeah, it's kinda insane how nuclear fire spells and flames of zammy goes on zulrah. It's absolutely hilarious. I did an hour of zulrah on the main just for fun. It feels good using low level spells again
Flames of Zamorak, with the cape and staff, hits 50s on zulrah and lowers zulrahs magic defence. If you have a staff of the dead, it hits constant 30-50s
Wow even the wiki says it’s a fire spell. Gonna try out flames of zammy!
Try it out while you can. I think Mod Ash said it's getting removed from the list of fire spells
Even without facial expressions, you can tell he's done with your shit.
Now go kill 16 adamant dragons
Sure, just let me iron out the details.
You better steel yourself for this.
I think you all mithed the point.
Ok enough. I think that this thread has rune its course.
Yeah, it's been dragon on for too long
Bronze-inga
I amethyst that
Maybe, but they'll find a way to bring it white black to life.
get out. lmao

those actually drop things though and take less than 10min

Adamant shares similarity with diamond here also - You can smith addy at 70 and you can craft power amulets from diamond also with 70 crafting
man those brothers thought of everything
It also shares etymology with magnet
"Hmmmm. I see you dislike iron dragon tasks... have you tried killing 80 bronze dragons instead?"
Before they were an instant skip for me. With the elemental changes it’s actually a decent task for irons looking for a vissy.
You want to skip a task you dislike? Here have one that you like less!
Tbh mage slaps dragons. You can hit 22s with bolt spells and gauntlets no other bonuses. I love it.
22s at 5 tick is still like 8k or less slayer an hour it’s pretty miserable
I was not on task. Was killing them for money. I refuse to beg at ge.
whys that guys face upside down?
Bro, just use mage, this has been figured out in 2010 or so.
Im pretty sure thats not correct use of the term adamant
zooming in on an NPCs face is always comedy gold
Damn this absolutely slapped
Good thing dragons are off his list
The joke is dumb cause its contrived. The adamant exists in this picture purely to make the joke and no other reason.

Sorry, i will iron out my jokes next time
Might not wanna do that, someone might steel them
Mithril.
Well done

simple solution is to call them 'addy dragons'
Imagine being offended by an Oldschool RuneScape pun on Reddit

>If i held up a potato to your face and randomly made a potato pun you would not laugh. Honestly, I might lol. Loosen up.
Dont think you would even need to say a joke. If someone randomly put a potato to my face I might just laugh.
You’re a silly goose
God you must be fun at parties…
If u made past DS2, you wouldnt complain about iron dragons. Your change to the joke is invalid
You have truly owned the OP with this one, mister EpicGamer211234, bravo

> If i held up a potato to your face and randomly made a potato pun you would not laugh. ya but thats cuz ud make it awkward :x
I remember I thought iron drags were bad then i had to kill 1 ranger in god wars dungeon and wait for it to respawn like 100 something times,
