So Adamant dragons.

Decent bone drops. Decent cash maker. With some nice noted drops. Noted Yew drops seem common. Unless you bone crush these. I'd imagine they'd have a fair price attached to them. They're better than Ourg and Airut bones and can be killed at a decent rate per hour. Comparitive to frosts and they are a Slayer assignment too.

Pretty good for spring cleaner if you set it to addy bars. Although depends on how much you bought the springs for.

Mage seems to be very decent there but Melee on task is definitely up there. With Nihil I'd imagine you'd rarely miss. Have not tried with range.
Melee may be preferred due to Berserk. They're definitely a soul splittable task though can hit of upwards of 1.2k. They spawn relatively close to each other also and I imagine after the hype is over I reckon it would be pretty decent.

My only gripe is when using Assault/Fury or Destroy the dragon will occasionally move one square away cancelling the ability entirely. Looting bones can be quite difficult sometimes especially if you're using full manual.

When a dragon attacks you but someone else tags it. The dragon will still focus on you for some weird reason. Which is really weird when usually monsters change target when someone else tags it if it hasn't already been tagged yet.

The quantity assigned seems relatively low. It hardly seems worth it to extend too. The slayer xp is decent. Comparible to that of Celestials.

I've implemented a fix for this, but as the rest of the dev team have gone home, it won't be able to go live until QA and Easty are back on shift in the morning.

In the meantime, I'd either avoid the abandoned rune dragons on your world, or focus fire from as many players as possible to clear them out. They won't switch phases, so you won't have to deal with the flying phase.

The issue occurs if someone attacks a rune dragon until the 1/3rd lifepoints berserk phase, then leaves it out of combat so it regenerates back to full lifepoints.

Bear in mind this can happen with the regular and the elite dragons. Elites aren't aggressive, so you should be able to steer clear of them, while the regular dragons are aggressive but do less damage (hopefully tankable with the right setup).

If you see a rune dragon with more than 33% lifepoints with a glowing crest on its forehead, that's the indicator that it's enraged, and will stay enraged until killed. Approach with caution!
From a thread in RGU. Would be useful for avoiding the berserk phase of rune dragons Lurk
