    This guide assumes 40-45 kills per hour. Your profit per hour may vary depending on your speed. Access to the myths guild may improve profits closer to 1,000,000 per hour. Completing the elite Karamja Diary increases kills per hour up to 90.

    Red dragons, found in the Brimhaven Dungeon, always drop dragon bones and red dragonhide (along with many other chance drops), which sell for 3,324 and 2,072 respectively. This makes each kill worth 5,396 coins. An axe is needed to pass through the dungeon. The entry fee to the dungeon is 875, unless you have paid the 1,000,000 gp for permanent access. Fire and Nature runes can be brought for High Alch if needed

    Each trip will last about 20 minutes including banking hides and bones and returning to the dungeon. The best method of banking is to teleport to Edgeville using an Amulet of glory, and return to the dungeon via teleporting to your player-owned house in Brimhaven (requires 40 Construction) via House tab. Otherwise, banking in Mor Ul Rek and running to the dungeon will be very tedious and long. Another method is by using Karamja gloves 3 to teleport to Shilo Village, banking, and returning via the cart to Brimhaven.

    Those who've done the Elite diary have access to noted red dragonhide.

    90-100 kills per hour should be expected with a dragon hunter lance due to less banking time, with more being possible with max stats and gear. Around 55,000 combat experience per hour and 400,000 to 600,000 GP per hour can be expected if paying moderate attention.

    Players who have completed Dragon Slayer II may prefer killing red dragons in the Myths' Guild basement, as they are much closer to a bank alongside ease of access with the mythical cape teleport.
