    The profit rate assumes 45 kills per hour, which is obtainable with an osmumten's fang and piety. Your actual profit may be higher or lower depending on your speed.

    As with brutal green dragons, mithril dragons may also be found in the Ancient Cavern accessible after players have started Barbarian Firemaking training. They have 100% drops of dragon bones and 3 mithril bars, thus making them worth over 4,595 coins per kill. Players should use the correct protection Prayer corresponding to their weakness. For example, a player wearing Verac's armour, which is Melee armour, should use Protect from Magic. Additionally, players using Ranged or Magic from afar should have Protect from Missiles on.

    Depending on setup, skills and inventory space, players can expect around four dragons' worth of loot a trip before using an Amulet of glory to teleport to Edgeville for banking, going to Edgeville Monastery to restore Prayer points, and heading back to Ancient Cavern via the games necklace. Alternatively, if players have at least 45 Construction, they can construct an oak altar in their chapel and use Teleport to House tablets instead to restore Prayer before going back.

    With karil's armour, Protect from Melee and an Osmumten's fang, assuming you don't pickup mithril bars, you can stay for around fifteen kills per trip, or eighteen when having Mithril dragons as your slayer assignment.
