The profit rate assumes 180 kills per hour. Your actual profits may be higher or lower depending on your speed and luck.
Green dragons are monsters found in the Wilderness, always drop dragon bones and green dragonhide (along with various other chance drops). Due to their low hitpoints and guaranteed drops, they are useful to kill for Prayer experience while also granting craftable items for coins.
There are multiple locations to kill green dragons in the Wilderness. The location indicated on the map to the right can be reached by leaving Ferox enclave to the north. This location is a relatively safe place, since players may teleport without needing an amulet of glory (for locations in level 21-30 Wilderness), or the need to run south to level 20 Wilderness or less (using a teleport other than from dragonstone jewellery can only be done in level 20 Wilderness or below).
Once higher stats and gear is acquired, killing green dragons with a Dragon hunter lance is much more efficient and nearly doubles your kills per hour to 360.
Players who have completed the elite Wilderness Diary will automatically note all dragon bones received on dragon kills in the Wilderness. This will extend the possible length of trips, since a player could hold around 50 green dragon hides in their inventory and looting bag, and just use 1 slot for dragon bones. This, of course, increases players' risk, since they will be holding twice as much loot.
Myths' Guild Dungeon
Players who have completed Dragon Slayer II can kill green dragons in the Myths' Guild basement. These are outside the wilderness and much closer to a bank, alongside ease of access with the mythical cape teleport. Kill rates will be improved by bringing the best gear available without risk of player killers, alongside faster banking options, but may have more competition from players.
