Barbarian Training (Mithril drags and drag full helm, pictures inside) - 03/07/07

[micky.blue.eyes]

This week brings the arrival of many additions to your skills that are all barbaric in origin. Some of these new activities are easy for most players, others will test your survivability to the limits...

Otto Godblessed has been researching his history and training people in the ways of his ancestors, and now he's ready to teach you. From his hut on the banks of the lake at the top of Baxtorian Falls, you'll go Fishing with your bare hands, mix fish eggs into your potions, wield one-handed spears and, finally, go deep into the ancient cavern beneath the lake.

The new abilities you can learn from Otto have new things to do right up to level 95 Firemaking, 85 Crafting, 96 Fishing, 76 Strength, 85 Herblore and 90 Smithing. If you're keen to haul sharks from the sea bare-handed or to send ancient barbarian heroes to their rest in style, you'd best check out Otto's training. And then there's the cavern...

Once you gain access to the Ancient Cavern, you'll find some of the most dangerous beasts in all the lands of RuneScape, beasts that the barbarians have been fighting for centuries. Of course, danger comes with rewards, and there are rumours of a rather impressive-looking red helm sometimes dropped by the new mithril dragons.

Requirements to begin Barbarian Training

Level 21 Firemaking
OR
Level 48 Fishing and level 15 Strength and Agility
OR
Level 55 Fishing and level 35 Strength

Looks good, but poorly explained?

[TonyBest]

I can comfirm the level of the Mithril Dragon.

Level 304
Never going near it myself. not even for the helm

[Danny,]

Hmm, id like to see what a full helm looks like with full dragon on the character

[Geraint]

Does this release along with the arrows recently mean that there could be dragon platelegs or boots on the way soon?

The helm looks just ewwww but I'd still wear it to show off although I would never be able to kill a mithril dragon

[948462394856354]

Fishing without a harpoon :o

[Swinkid]

Omgz that dragon looks brill <3 Im defently training now :)

[TonyBest]

There is 1 disadvantage to fishing without a harpoon. To fish sharks without a harpoon it takes a lvl 76 str and 96 fishing

[Axel]

What's wrong with a barb tailed harpoon? You hold a harpoon, but it saves invent space.

[Danny,]

its coz u get a tiny bit of str xp

Whoops meant dragon platebody

[DJ-Vimto]

this might well be worth a visit for most people.

the mithril dragon looks hawt...but deadly.

i wonder if like the other metal drags it'll be possible to mage it with antifire pots etc. might be worth a try, but i bet it'll be a right swine to kill either way.

no doubt that pretty soon all the 126s and what not will end up camping there

They use range, melee and magic attacks, so you can't use prayer to protect yourself from all the damage like you can at the other metal drags.

[Save-Me-Oprah]

From what I hear, apparently the full helm isn't that rare of a drop either.

Has anybody killed it? Is it super hard or is it like one of those super easy quest monster thingys?

[948462394856354]

When i went i wore
Karils with rune x bow and dragon bolts.
And used protect from melee prayer.
A full invent of sharks lasted me 2 dragons then i died :(

[deagle]

Wheres the hero barb remains?

The price for the helm's will drop big time by then.
