Some of these items include medium rune helms, rane battleaxes, red dragonhide chaps, and battlestaves for earth. Each one of these items is worth several thousand coins when the level 55 Magic spell High-level Alchemy is cast on these items.
Wyrms can also drop various dragon weapons, including the dragon sword, dragon dagger dragon knives, dragon throwingaxes. These are among the most powerful dragon weapons available in the game, and to gain them, follow this OSRS Wyrm guide.
Requirements
Fighting wyrms Old School RuneScape has a few prerequisites. The first is that you need to be at least the level of 62 Slayer in order to attack the wyrms. They are only available in one location The Skulluum Dungeon.
The dungeon is situated inside Mount Karluum, the mountain in which Konar, the Slayer Master Konar is located. To get there, you can use to use the Fairy Ring CIS, a skills necklace teleport towards the Farming Guild, or the Rada's Blessing 3 or 4.
The reason this is stated as a requirement is due to the Karluum Slayer Dungeon's distinct property. It is necessary to wear the boots of stone or brimstone-style boots or granite boots in order to avoid being constantly harmed within the dungeon.
The stone boots can be purchased from any Slayer Master, and will require at least 44 Slayer to equip. The boots of brimstone can be made by placing a drake's claw on the boots made from stone. The granite boots are dropped by Fossil island Wyverns.
Once you've got these necessities taken care of I'd suggest having at minimum 43 Prayers for the three protection prayers as well as at least 60's in all your combat statistics. If you're a 62 Slayer You probably have these prayers covered.
Style Overview of Combat Style Overview
The next step of this OSRS Wyrms guide is to select which type of fighting style you'd like to combat in the wyrms. This will influence your choices for gear and the knowledge you acquire.
I would not recommend using magic on wyrms as it is costly to use in combat and the wyrms are somewhat high resistance to it. That means that your kills will take longer and require more runes, which makes it more costly in comparison to Ranged.
Ranged
If you choose to go with Ranged and you choose to use it, you will be able to negate all damage from the wyrms simply by keeping a distance and making use of to pray the Protect from Magic prayer. They will not close the distance; they simply keep attacking using Magic.
If you're using Ranged You should be wearing your most effective ranged bonus gear or the best prayer bonus gear. Ranged bonus gear will result in faster kills, while prayer bonus gear can result in longer travel times before your prayer time is up.
When it comes to Ranged weapons, choose the weapons you find most appealing. The wyrms do not smoke, and therefore don't require any kind of dragonfire protection, like the anti-dragon shield. This means you can make use of two-handed weapons, such as shortbows, as well as the blowpipe that is toxic.
If you would like to try a crossbow, be sure to go through the OSRS Crossbow Guide for more details.
Although they do not breathe air, the wyrms have been classified as draconic according to the game. That means the dragon hunter crossbow as well as the dragon hunter lance are among the top in-slot weapons to fight them.
Safespot Method
There is also an alternative to secure the wyrms by using Ranged without having to pray. It can only be done while on the Slayer task, and with an arrow or another weapon that has the same attack rate (3 ticks).
It is possible to draw the wyrms towards the area of the eastern alcove within the Slayer task-only area and then lock them in there. By standing on a specific spot, you can range the wyrms from outside their range of attack, making them unable to attack you.
The wyrms come back to an idle state after it has been unable to strike you for a while and so you might need to attack it again. This is the reason we choose weapons with a 3 tick attack, so your attacks can be more executed when the wyrms are idle. It might take a few attempts to find this timing.
Melee
If you decide to use melee, you can also wear armor that is prayer-based, but you should also bring some food items in your inventory. Wyrms can be attacked with melee and magic, and both are effective to attack in melee.
It means that a protection prayer (either Protect from Magic or Protect from Melee) does not stop all damage the like if you used Ranged. You can use either prayer however the choice should be guided by your armor.
If you are using metal armor, such as the Proselyte set or more traditional melee bonus armor, you must pray to Protect from magic. Metal armors like this are naive to magic attacks, and also provide significant protection against melee.
Ranging armors, such as dragonhide and higher tiers have massive Magic defense advantages and, if you decide to wear them, make sure you pray for protection from Melee. They are less effective against attack than Magic.
For melee weapons, when it comes to option, you should consider employing the stab attack method. The wyrms are more prone to stabbing than they are to smash or slash. Therefore, you should choose an extremely stab-friendly weapon like the dragon daggerand abyssal dagger, Zamorakian Hasta, or Ghrazi Rapier. Like we said, Dragon hunter's lances are your best in slot melee weapon.
Final Thoughts
The OSRS Wyrm guide contains several steps that need to follow. First, you must meet the requirements for 62 Slayer and the appropriate boot for your Karluum Slayer Dungeon. Also, you must be at least 60 in your combat stats along with 43 prayers.
Next, decide whether you would like to use Ranged and Melee to deal with the wyrms, because that will affect the gear and prayers you will be using. If you're using Ranged you are able to negate the damage of the wyrm through attacking from a distance, and praying to protect yourself from magic.
If you want to use melee, ensure that you use a stab bonus weapon, and pray against the attack style your armor is vulnerable to. If wearing steel melee armor pray to protect yourself from Magic, and if wearing high-magic or dragonhide armor for defense, pray to protect from Melee.
