In today’s article, I’ll be walking you through the best location to safespot Blue Dragons, specifically if you’re using Ranged combat. Whether you’re on a Slayer task or just looking to farm some valuable dragon bones and blue dragonhide, this guide will show you how to do it efficiently and safely. Without further ado, let's jump right into the guide!
Why Blue Dragons?
Blue Dragons are a popular target for players due to their valuable drops, including dragon bones and blue dragonhide. These items are highly sought after for Prayer training and crafting, respectively, making Blue Dragons a profitable and worthwhile target. However, they can be dangerous due to their dragonfire breath, which can hit hard if you're not properly equipped. Luckily, with the safespot I’m about to show you, you can eliminate this risk.
Where to Find Blue Dragons
Location: Ogre Enclave
The best place to safespot Blue Dragons is in the Ogre Enclave, located just south of Castle Wars. This area is often overlooked by players, making it an ideal spot where you won't have to compete for kills. The Enclave is accessible during and after the Watchtower quest, which you’ll need to complete to enter this area.
How to Get There
There are a couple of ways you can get to the Ogre Enclave:
1. Castle Wars Teleport: Use a Ring of Dueling to teleport to Castle Wars. From there, head south, then east until you reach the Ogre Enclave. Follow the path around to the entrance of the dungeon.
2. Nightmare Zone Teleport: If you prefer, you can also use the Nightmare Zone minigame teleport. Once you arrive, head southwest until you reach the Enclave.
No matter which teleport method you use, the route is fairly straightforward, and I’ll outline the exact path below.
Step-by-Step Path
• From Castle Wars: Head south from the Castle Wars arena and then turn east. Follow the winding path until you reach the entrance to the Ogre Enclave.
•From Nightmare Zone: Go southwest from the minigame entrance until you find the dungeon.
Once you’re at the entrance, simply enter the dungeon, and you’re ready to start safespotting.
Safespotting Strategy
Gear Setup
For safespotting Blue Dragons, a Ranged setup is ideal. Here's what I recommend:
•Weapon: Blowpipe or a crossbow with appropriate bolts.
•Armor: Dragonhide (preferably blue or higher).
•Inventory: Bring a few pieces of food (just in case), Ranging potions, and a Dragonfire Shield (optional, but not necessary for this method).
Safespot Location
Now that you're inside the Ogre Enclave, here’s how to position yourself for maximum safety:
1. Locate the Dragons: Inside the dungeon, you’ll find four Blue Dragons. The one we’ll focus on is near the entrance.
2. Mark Your Tiles: Stand between the two tiles I’ll describe. To mark them for easy reference, hold down the 'Shift' key on your keyboard, right-click on the tile, and select ‘Mark Tile.’ This will help you position yourself perfectly every time.
3. Positioning: Stand between these two marked tiles to ensure you’re in the right spot. This position will cause the dragon to get stuck behind a rock, making it unable to attack you.
4. Attack and Lure: Once positioned, turn on your run, attack the dragon, and immediately run back to your safespot. The dragon will move towards you but will get stuck, unable to reach you. You can now safely attack it from a distance.
Respawn Time
One of the best things about this spot is the fast respawn rate of the dragons. After you kill one, it will respawn quickly, allowing for a continuous flow of kills. This makes it an excellent location for Slayer tasks or farming.
Banking
The nearest bank is located at Castle Wars. You can use a Ring of Dueling to quickly teleport there, bank your loot, and return to the safespot in no time. This efficiency is another reason why this location is highly recommended.
Looting
When it comes to looting, I suggest picking up the dragon bones and blue dragonhide. These are the most valuable drops, and collecting them ensures you’re making the most of your trip. If inventory space is a concern, prioritize the dragon bones, as they can fetch a high price or be used for Prayer training.
Tips for Efficient Killing
•Use Marked Tiles: If this is your first time here, marking the tiles will help you avoid mistakes. This ensures you consistently position yourself in the safespot without the risk of being attacked.
•Potion Use: If you’re using a blowpipe, you can use Ranging potions to maximize your DPS. Whether you choose rapid or accurate attack styles depends on your preference, but rapid generally yields faster kills.
•Watch for Aggro: If the dragon becomes aggressive and starts moving towards you, simply reposition yourself in the safespot, and it will get stuck again.
Conclusion
And there you have it! This safespot at the Ogre Enclave is the best place to kill Blue Dragons efficiently and safely using Ranged. Whether you’re on a Slayer task or just looking to farm for loot, this method will ensure you do so with minimal risk and maximum profit.
