The Venore dragon lair is one of the biggest and most famous spawns of Dragons and Dragon Lords.
The new way to the lair is very short, you only need a Machete or similar tool to cut Venorean Spice. The lair is situated here. The new entrance is here, through 3 venorean spice map-squares that need to be cut down just southwest of the western gate of Venore.
The original way to the lair was long, and you would encounter many Scorpions as well as would have to walk through many fire fields if you did not bring Destroy Field runes. You would also need some parcels or Levitate to get there and back. The original entrance is here, in a hole just north of the western gate of Venore.
Hunting Strategies[]
Knights: It is a very large and fast spawn, so it should be very good for high level knights that choose to hunt solo. It is recommended that they bring a few backpacks of Mana Potions.
It is not advisable to go solo if you are a low level knight, because spawns usually come up two or three at a time. This will be a waste of Health Potions as killing the dragons will be very slow and probably inefficient. If the knight wants to go for blocking then a small team of two or three shooters would be suitable for that purpose.
Mages and Paladins: For low level mages or paladins it is strongly advisable to go there with a group and a blocker. Summons will not be so useful as most of the spawns are up in towers or underground. It is recommended that they bring many backpacks of Icicle runes and a large supply of bolts/arrows/spears. Also a few backpacks of Mana Potions for healing spells and of course a wand/rod.
Higher level mages or paladins might choose to go solo and use Icicle runes and attack spells (Ice Strike) to kill the dragons quicker. It is advisable to bring lots of Mana Potions.
Dragons are skinnable so a useful tool to have would be an Obsidian Knife to obtain red and green dragon leathers. Also for low level mages it is advisable to use magic shield in case the dragon retargets. Knights should also remember to use "exeta res" to avoid retargeting on members of their team.
