= Living Wyverns = ​ == Introduction == Wyverns are one of the 4 raptor mobs, and are known for their unique environmental effects and highly damaging attacks. They offer decent slayer XP, and are a consistent source of GP due to their wyvern bone drops. ​ ⬥ The Dragon slayer perk and sigil dragonslayerperk dragonslayer, along with any other dragon-slaying related items such as jasdragonbanearrow, do '''NOT''' work on wyverns. ​ === Stats === ⬥ slayer XP per kill : 1878.8 ⬥ Optimal kills per hour: ~700 ranged / magic (ALL AFK) ⬥ Optimal slayer XP per hour : ~1.3M ranged / magic (ALL AFK) ​ Use this tile for all styles. [https://img.pvme.io/images/MJ1aIsrsJN.png Guide illustration] ​ === Desirable Drops === ⬥ Wyverns have a rich drop table with a guaranteed drop of Wyvern bones, a valuable item and an ingredient for super prayer potions. ⬥ For the Slayer collection log, Wyverns are also killed for their unique drop, the Wyvern Crossbow wyverncrossbow, a T85 crossbow dropped at a rate of 1/2000 on task (1/10,000 off-task). ​ === Location and How to Get There === Living Wyverns are found in 2 locations: # The Asgarnian Ice Dungeon, accessed via a rope in the south of the Skeletal Wyvern room. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎a. The easiest way to get there would be via dungeoneering cape teleport dgcape to the Frost dragon dungeon (0,8) # '''Northwest of Ghorrock, accessed via the Ghorrock teleport (ancient spellbook)''' ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎a. This is the best location as it benefits from the infernalpuzzlebox and jasboost ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎b. Wyverns are also attackable from areas without the chill mechanic, making it viable to be stationary and AFK in this location. ​ == Mechanics == Wyrm breath ⬥ Wyverns have a breath attack different from that of dragons, and requires '''wyrmfire''' protection.     • Use wyrmfire potions or elder overload salves to block all damage from this attack. ​ Cavern chill ⬥ Wyverns reside in a habitat which slowly increases the player's cold percentage.     • The higher the chill percentage, the lower the poison damage taken by the player. No poison damage will be taken by players with ~70% chill.     • At ≥25% chill, wyvern attack damage increases to 2500 from around 1300.     • At ≥90% chill, players will be periodically stunned at 8-10s per stun, '''Never let your chill reach this stage.'''     • Fires throughout the wyvern habitats and be lit, standing within 2 tiles of them periodically lowers the player's chill percentage.     • '''This mechanic is avoided completely by standing outside of area affected by cavern chill in the wilderness.''' ​ Wyrm poison ⬥ Wyverns can inflict poison damage based on the percentage of '''Cavern chill''' every 4-5 ticks.     • Antipoison++ halves the damage, but every tick of poison decreases potion duration.     • '''This mechanic is avoided completely by standing outside of area affected by cavern chill in the wilderness.''' ​ Varied attacking ⬥ Wyverns can attack with all 3 styles, alongside their breath attack.     • They will attack with primarily melee if the player stands in melee range.     • Hence, either stand in melee distance and use deflectmelee or camp soulsplit and out heal their damage through high DPS. === Useful Items === Items ⬥ [https://runescape.wiki/w/Elder_overload_salve#(6) '''Elder overload salve'''] elderovlsalve     • By far the best potion to use here due to its wyrmfire protection. ⬥ [https://runescape.wiki/w/Bonecrusher#Bonecrusher_upgrade '''Upgraded bonecrusher'''] bonecrusher     • Useful for gathering wyvern bones, in combination with Death Note deathnote ⬥[https://runescape.wiki/w/Underworld_Grimoire_2 '''Underworld Grimoire 2/3/4'''] underworldgrimoire4     • Very useful for sending wyvern bones to storage as soon as they're dropped.

Use dommine whenever gsunshine is used along with adrenrenewal if available. ​ ⬥ Use gchain combos opportunistically on any wyverns that wander close to each other. ​ ⬥ When eating solid food, such as sharks dropped by wyverns, try to eat them in the tick between the end of a kill and the start of the next kill when you have no target, as this does not reduce adrenaline. ​ ⬥ If doing wyverns with lesser gear, an oldakcoil may be used to aggro a limited amount (2-3) of wyverns which makes it more manageable to soulsplit, as shown [https://youtu.be/2jCihwc-Bd0 here] ​ === Revo bar === This bar should be used only for AFKing.
