{{MonsterIcon|Wicked Greater Dragon}} are very straightforward as {{ItemIcon|Shockwave}} destroys them. The setup is the same as the {{MonsterIcon|Ku-tul}} setup below, but the {{ItemIcon|Slayer Cowl (Elite)}} is swapped for a {{ItemIcon|Aeris God Helmet}} and {{PrayerIcon|Protect from Magic}} is replaced with {{PrayerIcon|Battleheart}}, as the majority of damage comes from dragon breath. | {{MonsterIcon|Wicked Greater Dragon}} are very straightforward as {{ItemIcon|Shockwave}} destroys them.

{{MonsterIcon|Hunting Greater Dragon}} can also be killed with {{ItemIcon|Shockwave}} (around 105 kills/hr) or with {{ItemIcon|Infernal Claw}} (for around 95 kills/hr) with a typical melee build. {{ItemIcon|Darksteel Dagger}} is around 80 kills/hr so it is viable but a bit slower than the others. It is not necessary to wait for {{ItemIcon|Tidal Edge}}, as that only marginally increases the kills/hr to 115 while being substantially more difficult to obtain. Melee methods save more food, with Tidal Edge being the least food usage, Darksteel second, Claw in third and Shockwave consuming the most food. These results are summarised in the following table: | {{MonsterIcon|Hunting Greater Dragon}} can also be killed with {{ItemIcon|Shockwave}} (around 105 kills/hr) or with {{ItemIcon|Infernal Claw}} (for around 95 kills/hr) with a typical melee build. {{ItemIcon|Darksteel Dagger}} is around 80 kills/hr so it is viable but a bit slower than the others.

One can also choose to farm {{MonsterIcon|Chaotic Greater Dragon}} to obtain a {{ItemIcon|Recoil Shield}} or to waste less coins on rerolls. These are a fair bit slower at 50 kills/hr with {{ItemIcon|Darksteel Dagger}} and 57.5 kills/hr with {{ItemIcon|Infernal Claw}}, so one may choose to only undertake such tasks if the quantity is low and 40 Master Slayer tasks are still needed. | One can also choose to farm {{MonsterIcon|Chaotic Greater Dragon}} to obtain a {{ItemIcon|Recoil Shield}} or to waste less coins on rerolls.

Due to combat triangle penalty, {{ItemIcon|Shockwave}} is considerably more food usage, but it is faster kills/hr at around 80-90/hr. Melee is preferable for this task, as the time spent gathering runes is not worth the increased dps of magic, even with {{ItemIcon|Ocean Song}}. This task is ''significantly'' faster with {{ItemIcon|Tidal Edge}} (around 93 kills/hr) as the unavoidable special attack is very useful, so this task can be skipped until that point if preferred. | ||
With a 3/6 to 4/6 chance of favourable tasks, very little should be wasted on rerolling tasks. {{MonsterIcon|Umbora}} tasks should be skipped until {{ItemIcon|Ocean Song}} and {{MonsterIcon|Rokken}} tasks should be skipped unless they are very short (around 150 or less). There is only a 1/5 to 2/5 chance of receiving an unfavourable task after completing a slayer task (the automatic task assigned is free, saving 25k slayer coins), which further adds to the savings. | With a 3/6 to 4/6 chance of favourable tasks, very little should be wasted on rerolling tasks. {{MonsterIcon|Umbora}} tasks should be skipped until {{ItemIcon|Ocean Song}} and {{MonsterIcon|Rokken}} tasks should be skipped unless they are very short (around 150 or less).
