Adamant dragons are metal dragons found within the Dragonkin Lair and the adamant dragon dungeon inside Brimhaven Dungeon. They drop pages for Forcae's journal, the journal of the Dragonkin scientist who created them, along with being the only dragons besides mithril dragons to drop dragon full helms.
The dragons were first announced in the June 2015 BTS. They won the first RuneLabs poll, alongside rune dragons.

Strategy[edit | edit source]
Adamant dragons can use all three attack styles, as well as dragonfire. Super antifires are highly recommended, with some form of dragonfire protection being needed. While in melee range it will not use its Ranged attack, while outside of melee range it will be unable to use melee. For this reason, it is suggested that:
- If wearing Magic type armour, they should stay inside melee attack range (due to Magic armour being weak to Ranged type attacks)
- If wearing Ranged type armour with dragonbane ammunition, they should stay outside melee attack range.
On a side note, they will use Magic attacks in melee range.
Use of magic notepaper, metallic dragon trinkets and/or a pack yak with winter storage scrolls is highly recommended due to the large number of unstackable commodities dropped by adamant dragons, namely adamant salvage and hardened dragon bones. Prior to the 2019 Mining/Smithing update these always dropped adamant bars.
Drops[edit | edit source]
The average Adamant dragon kill is worth 18,225.43 coins.

Update history[edit | edit source]
- patch 27 January 2020 (Update):
- Adamant Dragons were incorrectly giving too many Inert adrenaline crystals. This has now been reduced to its intended amount.
- patch 24 April 2017 (Update):
- Adamant dragons and Rune dragons now have the new luck system applied to them.
- ninja 27 March 2017 (Update):
- Adamant dragons in the Brimhaven Dungeon now have the same chance to drop lore books as the adamant dragons in the Ancient Cavern.
- patch 6 March 2017 (Update):
- We have added bad luck mitigation to some lore drops so that cumulative monster kills shift the drop rate towards 100% once a certain threshold has been reached. This affects drops which have a drop rate of 1/100 (or worse). The affected drops from Adamant dragons are the Dragonkin journals but not Forcae's journal
- patch 6 July 2015 (Update):
- The early bird bonus for adamant and rune dragons has now ended.
- patch 22 June 2015 (Update):
- The quantity of summoning charms dropped by adamant & rune dragons has been increased from 3 to 4, to be in line with the desired maximum from mithril dragons.
- The number of adamant dragons assigned by a slayer master has been increased - 40-50 for Kuradal and 40-60 for Morvran.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
