Lava dragons reside on their isle in level 36–42 Wilderness. A successful kill can take roughly 30 to 60 seconds. They are one of the most lucrative sources of income for high-level players if players can survive being intercepted and interrupted by PK clans. Aside from the dangers involved, willing players can travel there and safespot the dragons, and loot can also be telegrabbed from outside if the player chooses not to enter. Additionally, it is not recommended to go anywhere near them since they can easily kill you with their dragonfire breath if you chose a god book over the anti-dragon shield. You will have to bring items you are willing to risk, thus wearing only 3–4 items is strongly recommended. Anything else should be expendable and easily obtainable like a god cape, book, or Achievement Diary items. Magic bonuses are not required due to the low magic level of the dragons. Instead you should take Magic strength gear and the rest of your set up as tanking gear, for example an occult necklace, imbued god cape, and your weapon as your three risk slot items, with black d'hide body and black d'hide chaps in order to tank pkers. Lava dragons are prone to Magic and water spells. At 74 Agility, or 69 with a summer pie boost, and with the hard Wilderness Diary completed, an Agility shortcut becomes available for quickly accessing the dragons and escaping an onslaught. You can use a waka canoe to travel to the Wilderness pond and run East to the shortcut, or a games necklace to teleport to the Corporeal Beast's lair, go north to the shortcut, kill some dragons, leave via the shortcut, go south into level 30 Wilderness, teleport to Edgeville with an amulet of glory, and repeat. You can also use a burning amulet to teleport to the Lava Maze, or Annakarl teleport and run south-west. Otherwise, you'll just have to traverse the deep Wilderness going to and from the Mage Arena bank, which is more dangerous and risky.
