Fur 'n' Seek Guide Coming Soon!

The Odd Old Man is again in need of a hand, but this time it’s not all going to be about bones. Apparently, he has new needs that will require adventurers to seek the hides, pelts and skins of creatures commonly found in the Fremennik Province.

Players will be able to allow the Odd Old Man to take his plan fur-ther. More experienced players will then be able to help him the rest of the way, getting extra rewards and uncovering the truth behind one of RuneScape’s most guarded secrets – just what is in that mumbling bonesack?

Part 1 - General Information

The King Black Dragon is a dangerous trip. Many people of prowess have been slain by this beast. It's poison, ice and fire-y breaths are what make it the king of all black dragons, the 50+ hits are the ones you must look out for.



Part 2 - Specializations

Location: King Black Dragon Lair ~ The entrance is located in level 38 wilderness.
Combat: 276
Hitpoints: 257
Attacks: Melee, Magic and DragonBreath.
Classification: Animal/Dragon.
Major Drops: This beast drops the formidable Draconic Visage. This sells for huge profits! If you get it towards the end of the trip with less of you, well, cha-ching, free monies. The original dragon item, the Dragon Med Helm, is also dropped by this monster, the first to do so, these are no longer shared as they are worth little. It would be silly to have 20k each!
Special Notes: He has three heads. These hit in turn but each has a different ability. These are:
Fire; this hits very hard and has a chance to lower your stats. If you are wearing a Dragonfire Shield, you will absorb this into your shield.
Ice; this freezes you to the spot for around five seconds, and hits medium damage. On occasions it stuns you, reducing your stats slightly.
Toxic; this heavily poisons you. The poison starts by hitting 8s and slowly decreases (Like Regular Poison). This hits low to medium damage.

Part 3 - Equipment

Part 3.1 - Meléers with One-Handed Weapons



Best to Worst:

Code:

H: Helm of Neitiznot / Berserker Helm / Proselyte Helm / Rune Full Helm /
B: Karil's Body / Black D'hide Top / Proselyte Body / Rune Platebody / Initiate Body
L: Black D'hide Legs / Proselyte Legs / Rune Legs / Initiate /
G: Barrows gloves / Rune Gloves / Adamant Gloves / Black Vambraces /
B: Dragon Boots / Rune Boots / Climbing Boots / /
S: DragonFire Shield / AntiFire Shield / / /
MW: Whip / Dragon Scimitar / Dragon Mace / Dragon Battleaxe /
W2: Dragon Dagger (p++) / Dragon Mace / Dragon Halberd* / Dragon Battleaxe /
R: Ring of Life / Beserker Ring / Ring of Duelling / /
N: Amulet of Fury / Amulet of Strength / Amulet of Glory / /
C: (Trimmed) Skill Cape / Obsidian Cape / Ava's Accumulator / Any Other Cape /

* Whilst using a Dragon Halberd, your DragonFire Shield will UN-EQUIP. Make sure you use your specials (It will double hit the KBD) and re-equip the shield as fast as possible! You must make sure you also put mage prayer on whilst you are using the dragon halberd; this will slightly combat the fire breath if you get hit. Also, make sure your HP is above 60 at all times whilst using a dragon halberd.

Tips

• If you are on a slayer task, you can wear a black mask! The extra damage will mean your entire group takes less damage.
  
• As a meléer, you will be the common member of the group as only one or two people range. If Loot Share is not activated, you will frequently be beaten to the drop because of other meléers unleashing special attacks from their weapon onto the King Black Dragon.
  
• Pot up outside the lair with your super set and super anti-poison and enter with mage prayer active, once you have killed it once, you can remove prayer and never use it again because of the armor you will be using. Pot up every time one of your combat levels drops back to what it was originally.
  
• If the KBD spawns in a different place to normal, get out from underneath as soon as you can to make the KBD stay where it should be so everyone does not go out of place.
  
• Unleash specials when you have 50% (or 60% if you are using a dragon halberd) energy in your bar not 100%. You will hit just as hard as if you were using 4 specials because you frequently hit 0-0 using specials, plus, you use it more often in effect.
  
• If you want, use chivalry, piety, or a group of prayers to help you if you are running out of food and want to use up your remaining prayer potions. If you wish to use it constantly, bring at least 3 prayer potions, maybe 4.

Part 3.2 - Meléers with Two-Handed Weapons



Best to Worst:

Code:

G: Barrows gloves / Rune Gloves / Adamant Gloves / Black Vambraces /
B: Dragon Boots / Rune Boots / Climbing Boots / /

N: Amulet of Fury / Amulet of Strength / Amulet of Glory / /
C: (Trimmed) Skill Cape / Obsidian Cape / Ava's Accumulator / Any Other Cape /

* You might want to bring along a dragon halberd or another dragon item to use special attacks on the King Black Dragon if your weapon has no special.

** You will have a Two-Handed Weapon.

As you can see I have not included the Weapon, Helmet, Body or Leg slots. This is because you now have a massive choice on what to pick!
The Godsword set allows you to mix and match what you can afford, the ones at the top are the best, going down to the worst at the bottom.
The Barrows set, however, you must use all of the ones on a row, so you cannot mix and match, although, you should be able to have worked out why for yourselves.

Godsword Set

Code:

Sara Godsword / Karil's Top / Black D'hide Legs / Helm of Neitiznot
Armadyl Godsword / Black D'hide Top / Proselyte Legs / Beserker Helm
Bandos Godsword / Proselyte Body / Initiate Legs / Proselyte Helm
Zamorak Godsword / Initiate Body / Granite Legs / Initiate Helm
Dragon Halberd / Granite Body / Dragon Platelegs / Dragon Full Helm
Dragon Two-Hand / Rune Platebody / Rune Platelegs / Rune Full Helm

Barrows Sets

Code:

Dharok's Axe / Dharok's Body / Dharok's Legs / Dharok's Helm
Verac's Flail / Verac's Brassard / Verac's Legs / Verac's Helm
Guthan's Spear / Guthan's Body / Guthan's Legs / Guthan's Helm

Godsword Special Attacks

Armadyl Godsword ~ The Judgment ~ Inflicts 25% more damage

Bandos Godsword ~ Warstrike ~ Attack does 10% more damage and drains your opponent's combat statistics by the amount of damage inflicted. Statistics are drained in the following order: Defence, Strength, Prayer, Attack, Magic, Ranged.

Saradomin Godsword ~ Healing Blade ~ Inflicts normal damage, but restores half of the damage to your Hitpoints and a quarter to your Prayer. You will receive a minimum of 10 Hitpoints and 5 Prayer.

Zamorak Godsword ~ Ice Cleave ~ Freezes your opponent for 20 seconds.

Tips

• This is EXTREMELY dangerous. It is best to have knowledge of the King Black Dragon before you attempt this.
  
• As you have a Two-Handed Weapon, you have no AntiFire/DragonFire shield! This means that you MUST have mage prayer on the whole time the King Black Dragon is spawned.
  
• Pot up whenever your attack, strength OR defense levels return to it's permanent level.
  
• Always watch your health very carefully, you can get hit big because you have no AntiFire/DragonFire shield.
  
• Regularly check your Prayer Points, it drops very quickly if you do not pay attention, this means no prayer, no shield; you can get hit up to 65.
  
• If you are on a slayer task, you can wear a black mask! The extra damage will mean your entire group takes less damage.
  
• This is the best way to kill the King Black Dragon solo. But remember, you only have 2-5 minutes to return to your gravestone if you do attempt this!

Part 3.4 - Rangers with One-Handed Bows



Best to Worst:

Code:

H: Archer Helm / Robin Hood Hat / God Coif / Coif / Skill Cape Hood
B: Karil's Top / Black D'hide Body / Prosylete Body / Initiate Body / Red D'hide Body
L: Black D'hide Legs / Prosylete Legs / Dragon Legs / Initiate Legs / Red D'hide Legs
G: Barrows Gloves / Rune Gloves / Black Vambraces / /
B: Ranger Boots / Snakeskin Boots / Dragon Boots / Rune Boots /
S: DragonFire Shield / AntiFire Shield / / /
MW: Rune Crossbow ** / Bone Crossbow º / Rune Crossbow ºº / /
W2: None* / / / /
R: Archer's Ring / Ring of Life / Ring of Wealth / /
N: God Stole / Amulet of Fury / Amulet of Accuracy / Amulet of Glory /
C: Ava's Accumulator / (Trimmed) Skill Cape / Obsidian Cape / Any other Cape /

* You will not need a second weapon as both the bone crossbow and rune crossbow (with enchanted bolts) will have special attacks.

** With (adamant) ruby bolts (e). These will hit like normal adamant bolts but the special will sometimes hit, causing 20% of the monsters hp to hit. On the King Black Dragon this can be up to 48.

º Bone Bolts. Special reduces defense of the monster.

ºº With any un-enchanted bolts. Try to get them over Mithril if you can.

Tips

• As a ranger, you would expect to try and sit as far from the King Black Dragon as possible, but you want to get into melée range. This is so it uses more melée attacks and less breaths so you use less potions. This is because it's melee attack is weaker then it's magic attack.
  
• Pot up outside the lair with your ranger potion and super anti poison and enter with mage prayer active, once you have killed it once, you can remove prayer and never use it again because of the armor you will be using. Pot up every time one of your combat levels drops back to what it was originally.
  
• If the KBD spawns in a different place to normal and you are under it, get out from underneath as soon as you can to make the KBD stay where it should be so everyone does not go out of place.
  
• If you have a bone crossbow, the special attack uses 80% of the bar. Only use it straight after the King Black Dragon has spawned because of the defense lowering ability.
  
• If you want, use hawk eye to help you if you are running out of food and want to use up your remaining prayer potions. If you wish to use it constantly, bring at least 3 prayer potions, maybe 4.
  
• If you are using Ruby Bolts (e), you will notice you have no special bar. This will automatically hit at a random time, dealing 20% of the hitpoints of the monster.

Part 3.3 - Rangers with Two-Handed Bows



Best to Worst:

Code:

H: Archer Helm / Robin Hood Hat / God Coif / Coif / Skill Cape Hood
B: Karil's Top / Black D'hide Body / Prosylete Body / Initiate Body / Red D'hide Body
L: Black D'hide Legs / Prosylete Legs / Dragon Legs / Initiate Legs / Red D'hide Legs
G: Barrows Gloves / Rune Gloves / Black Vambraces / /
B: Ranger Boots / Snakeskin Boots / Dragon Boots / Rune Boots /
S: None** / / / /
MW: Dark Bow / Crystal Bow / Seercull Bow / Magic Shortbow /
W2: None* / / / /
R: Archer's Ring / Ring of Life / Ring of Wealth / /
N: God Stole / Amulet of Fury / Amulet of Accuracy / Amulet of Glory /
C: Ava's Accumulator / (Trimmed) Skill Cape / Obsidian Cape / Any other Cape /

* Sometimes, rangers using bows without a special will bring along a dragon halberd or another dragon item to use special attacks on the King Black Dragon (More in Tips).

** You will have a Two-Handed Bow.

Tips

• As you have a Two-Handed Bow, you have no AntiFire/DragonFire shield! This means that you MUST have mage prayer on the whole time the King Black Dragon is spawned.
  
• If you can, stay within melée range. Seems odd does it not? The key to this is, as you have mage prayer on, it will want to melée you, but, you have good defense against his melée armour, so you get hit less, because his mage attack is stronger even with your huge mage defense!
  
• Keep your range level at least 5 above your permanent level at all times.
  
• Always watch your health very carefully, you can get hit big because you have no AntiFire/DragonFire shield.
  
• Regularly check your Prayer Points, it drops very quickly if you do not pay attention, this means no prayer, no shield; you can get hit up to 65.

Part 4 - How To Get There

This is generally done in three different ways, although, there is a slightly easier one for those going alone to join halfway through a trip.

Fixed Wilderness Teleports - The easiest way to go, sometimes takes a while to get to the Level 44 one though. If you get to the level 50 one, teleport fast, revenants and the Chaos Elemental have parties here. You can lure the revenant into and out of teleports too so you can escape. If you get split from the group, just keep trying to get to level 44.
Walking - Very easy. Very likely to meet revenants however, this is the traditional SoDB route.
Ice Plateau Group Lunar Teleport - If one person is on Lunars they can use this. Sometimes not everyone will have Accept Aid On, this should be told though. Not much chance of meeting a revenant.
Ardougne Teleport Lever - Pass Chaos Elemental. Pass 3 revenant paths. It screams 'Kill Me', although it is fast.





Generally, you meet at Edgeville, go to the monastery, get prayer points, and go to the ditch.

Make sure your group leader has specified a back-up world (make sure it has Loot Share if you are using it) in case someone catches sight of Revenant Ghosts or there is a Revenant Ghost.

Tell everyone to turn Loot Share on at this time if you are using it and make sure everyone is now talking solely in Clan Chat.

Once ready, follow your group leader into the wilderness. Some rules on 'If A Revenant Ghost Turns Up' are after the 'How To Get There' section of this guide. SoDB's main method of traveling is by walking directly. Please refer to 'How To Get There' for more information.

On arrival of the gate, just before the greater demons behind the gate, your leader will tell you to use your potions. If you are a ranger, these would be Range Potion and Super Anti Poison. If you are a meléer, these would be your Super Set and Super Anti Poison. You should then proceed to put Mage Prayer on and enter.

You will go down a ladder within the Greater Demons into a small room, surrounded by walls and lava and poison spiders. If you did not drink any Anti-Poison, you will be poisoned, if you did drink some, good. There is a small lever which you need to pull - this takes you straight to the KBD lair.



You should have mage prayer activated and have used the necessary potions, if you have not, do so now. Kill the King Black Dragon as quickly as possible, if you are recording loot, record it.

Get into a position around the King Black Dragon, as shown. Use landmarks (Such as the Sapphire spawn and the Gold Ring spawn) to find out where to stand.



You are now at the King Black Dragon with your group and should be killing it with ease!

Part 5 - Other

Part 5.1 - If a Revenant Ghost turns up!

Part 5.1.1 - Catching Sight of a Revenant Ghost

Tell your team to put range prayer on, keep walking but just avoid it.

Part 5.1.2 - If You Get Attacked By a Revenant Ghost

Turn on RANGE prayer instantly.

Lure them behind a rock and just run away. They are not very smart.

If you have been Tele-Blocked, continue as above but stay with the poison spiders until it wears off.

Part 5.1.3 - If a Team Mate Gets Attacked By a Revenant Ghost

Tell them to turn on RANGE prayer if they already haven't. They freeze with their range attacks.

Tell the entire team to turn run ON and get to the KBD lair as soon as you can.

Part 5.2 - Something missing?

If there is anything missing to go towards this guide, all you have to do is simply message me with what is missing, and what needs to go into it. I will add it into the appropriate section of the guide (or even make a new one!) and add you into the credits.

Part 6 - FAQ

Q: What would be the best choice of armor if I'm new to KBD?
A: The best thing to start off with is a one-handed weapon, as you can use the dragon fire shield. It is the safest way, and the least complicated. Alternatively, if you are a ranger, you can start with a 1-handed bow. It is also very safe. Ranging with a 2-handed bow is not hard, but mistakes can be costly. Meleeing with a 2-handed weapon should only be done if you are very experienced, and if your team knows what to do in that situation.

Q: What level should I be before I go to the KBD?
A: Preferably, you should be level 60+ with a good team. You can really go at any level as long you have any gear listed, have over 30 hitpoints, and have started Dragon Slayer.

Q: How many people is too many to take?
A: 1 more then the server can hold!

Q: How come the King Black Dragon isn't the toughest dragon, if he is the king?
A: He is the King of Black Dragons. If you have a point against that, something exploded somewhere near the Barbarian Outpost so now there is a whirlpool and some Mithril Dragons were a part of this explosion and they are very strong indeed because they got created from a massive explosion. I like the word explosion...

Q: What level should I be before I start soloing?
A: Ok, if you want to solo melée, you will need to be 100+ at the bare minimum with buckets of experience. If you are a ranger, you will need at least 80 range and 75 defence and to know how the KBD 'works'. But remember, this guide does not give you tips for soloing, so please do not use it if you plan to solo!

Q: How is it possible that this guide is so awesome?!?!
A: Because I am awesome?!?!

To Start: Talk to Ali the Wise.

1. Speak to Talk to Ali the Wise in the house at the north end of Nardah to start the quest. He'll tell you that a contact of his has found some caves on Trollheim mountain, but wasn't able to excavate them.

Ali the Wise

2. Walk or teleport to Trollheim, and head northwest of the teleport location until you get to the Icy Gate. Just northwest of that is a cave entrance. Go in through the cave entrance and make your way through the caves. This area is populated with Ice Trolls (level 120+), so Protect from Melee is recommended.

Ice Cave Entrance

3. Head through the crevice at the end of the tunnel, then continue east and go through the next cave entrance.

Rubble Cave Entrance

4. In here, there are some piles of rubble which need to be cleared for you to get through. You will only be able to mine the rubble one time each, on the north, south, east and west sides. There are several kinds of rubble piles:
* Solid pillar - cannot be removed at all
* Rubble with large pile of stones on top - after you mine it, more rubble will fall in front of you
* Rubble with small pile of stones on top - needs to be mined twice
* Rubble with cracks in - only needs to be mined once


5. Go north and mine the small pile of rubble there twice. Then go back south, and then west; again mine the rubble. Lastly, head north then east and mine the rubble here. You can now continue through the caves.

Pile of Rubble

6. Make your way through the rest of the tunnels until you're able to get to the cellar in the southeast corner. Once there, search the short bookcase beneath the stairs to get Notes (a-j).

Bookcase

7. Go up the stairs and you'll see Arrav. Speak to him, and he'll attack. Attack him back. Before he can kill you, he will be be called away. He will then tell you to search behind the tapestry in the room to the south. Go to the southern room and search the tapestry to receive the Base key and Base plans.

Tapestry

8. Return to Ali the Wise in Nardah and update him on your progress. After a cutscene, you need to go to speak to Senliten, the pharaoh queen, just south of the Ruins of Uzer. She will give you an Empty canopic jar, and explain how to fill it. You will need Sacred oil(1), 3 Dwellberries, and a Ring of life. Use the Sacred oil(1), followed by the Dwellberries and the Ring of life, on the Empty canopic jar to prepare it. You will then receive a Full canopic jar.

Pharaoh Queen

9. Return to Ali the Wise in Nardah and show him the jar. He will give you advice on infiltrating Zemouregal's base which is located in the Wilderness under the Chaos Altar. You will need to bring Insulated boots, a Mith grapple, any type of Crossbow, the Base key, and a Macaw pouch with you.

Ali the Wise (Base Plans)

10. Zemouregal's base is located under the Chaos Altar in the low level wilderness, just to the northeast of Varrock. Teleport to either Edgeville using your Amulet of glory(4), or Varrock using runes, and walk to the altar.

Chaos Altar

11. Go under the Chaos Altar and follow the path until you reach a metal door.

Metal Door

12. Go east, following the path once again, until you reach a small room that contains a range. On the southern wall of that room, there is a pipe. Equip your Insulated boots and enter it.

Pipe

13. Follow the path until you reach another pipe. Once there, you need a way to remotely see if there are any patrolling zombies on the other side of the pipe, so summon your Macaw.

Macaw Pipe

14. Once your Macaw has been summoned, interact with it and click the "Remote view" option. It will then go in the pipe for you and scout the area, and then you will climb through the pipe. You will now be inside Zemouregal's base.

15. Once inside, run to the south room and search the tables for Decoder strips and Notes (k-z). Then, pick the lock on the nearby chest for the Code key.

Table

16. Run to the north and then to the east. You will see a Metal door and a keypad. Interact with the keyboard, and try to solve the puzzle code. If you fail, the room will become filled with gas, and you will become unconscious and be sent back to the beginning of Zemouregal's base.

Note: The combination key and final code are different for every player.

17. Once the latch is open and you enter the Metal door, equip your Crossbow and Mith grapple. Grapple the pipes to bypass the fire trap. Once on the other side, search the pedestal and take the heart. You will now have a Heart in a canopic jar.

Pedestal

18. Teleport out of Zemouregal's base and head back to Ali the Wise. Talk to him, and he will take the Heart in a canopic jar and give you your reward.

Congratulations! Quest Complete!

The Curse of Arrav | Guide Coming Soon!

The Curse of Arrav

In your adventures you may have heard of an unusual gathering in the north - a gathering of powerful and dangerous creatures called the Mahjarrat. Ali the Wise has received news from one of his contacts of a tunnel underneath the area where the Mahjarrat are supposedly gathering. It’s not a natural cave, either: someone deliberately made it. But who? What connection did they have to the Mahjarrat now gathering above? Have they left any clues behind? Some exploring may be in order!

This quest is a continuation of the Mysteries of the Mahjarrat quest series. It’s also a sequel to a previous quest I wrote - Defender of Varrock. I’m glad that I got to expand on some of the themes I started in the previous Arrav-based quest. There is more to come, though…

Faruq's Tools for Games Update

Knowing that many of RuneScape's adventurers sometimes like to kick back and enjoy time with their friends and clan-mates, Al Kharid's newest resident, the mysterious entrepreneur Faruq, has brought to market a selection of curiosities to help pass the time between grand escapades.

If your clan needs fair ways of making decisions, then Faruq has something for you. If you want to have a race without any cheating or need something to mark the route, he can help. Whether you’re planning a scavenger hunt, a race, a seeking game or any kind of adventure within the adventure, Faruq asks only that you look at his wares, because he might have just what you need.

To peruse Faruq’s Tools for Games, check out the stall he has set up next to Ali Morrisane in Al Kharid market.

This is an unusual update for us, because, unlike just about everything else in RuneScape, we haven’t planned out what you should do with it. During development, we thought of things you could do, of course, but I’m eager to see what else you can come up with yourselves.

To make the tools, we sought suggestions from the forums, fan sites and various corners of Jagex. It all helped shape the project, and some of the players who made suggestions when the developer blog went out should find certain objects very familiar: congratulations on making your mark on the game!

We’ve removed a small selection of items from the Grand Exchange to improve offer matching. For example, all but the (8) and (1) charged variants of the games necklace have been removed. The removed items can still be traded; they just no longer show up on the Grand Exchange.
