Green dragons are among the most iconic and valuable monsters in Old School RuneScape (OSRS). As the weakest adult chromatic dragons, they are accessible to mid-level players while offering lucrative drops-most notably dragon bones and green dragonhide, which are consistently in high demand on the Grand Exchange. Whether you're training combat, completing a slayer task, or earn OSRS gold, knowing where to find green dragons is key. Below is a comprehensive guide to their main locations, along with tips to maximize your experience and safety.

Key Preparation Before Hunting Green Dragons

Before venturing to any green dragon location, preparation is critical. First, you must have started the "Dragon Slayer I" quest-this unlocks the ability to use anti-dragon protection, which is non-negotiable. Green dragons breathe fire that can hit up to 50 damage on unprotected players, so always bring an anti-dragon shield (cheaper and more accessible) or a dragonfire shield, and consider antifire potions for extra safety.

Additionally, most green dragon locations are in the Wilderness, where player killers (PKers) often lurk. Only bring equipment you're willing to lose, and pack teleport tabs or runes for quick escapes-though be wary of PKers using the Teleblock spell to prevent teleporting. For profit-focused trips, a beast of burden (like a war tortoise or spirit terrorbird) lets you carry more bones and hides before banking.

Non-Wilderness Location: Chaos Tunnels (Safe for All Players)

If you want to hunt green dragons without the risk of PKers, the Chaos Tunnels are your best bet-they are the only non-PvP area with green dragons in OSRS. These tunnels are located beneath the Wilderness, but their interior is a safe zone, meaning other players cannot attack you.

To reach the Chaos Tunnels, use the rift entrance south of the Grand Exchange (northwest Varrock) or the entrance near the Wilderness Volcano. Once inside, follow the paths until you find the green dragon spawns-they are scattered throughout the tunnels, often near other low-level monsters like baby black dragons.

The Chaos Tunnels are ideal for new or risk-averse players. You can kill green dragons here without worrying about PKers, and the closest bank is the Grand Exchange, just a short run from the rift entrance. For even faster banking, use Varrock teleport tabs (with the teleport location set to the GE via easy Varrock tasks) or fairy ring code DKR if you have the required quests completed.

Wilderness Locations: High-Spawn, High-Risk, High-Reward

Most green dragon spawns are in the Wilderness, where higher spawn rates mean more kills per hour-but also greater risk from PKers. These locations are preferred by experienced players looking to maximize profit, as they offer more dragons and faster trips when navigated safely.

1. North of the Graveyard of Shadows (Wilderness Levels 24-26)

This is one of the most popular green dragon locations due to its convenient spawn rate and proximity to safety. There are five green dragons here, and the area is just north of Ferox Enclave-a safe settlement in the Wilderness where you can heal, bank, and escape PKers if needed (though Teleblock will prevent you from entering the enclave).

To reach this spot, teleport to Varrock, run north into the Wilderness, and head toward the Graveyard of Shadows (north of Edgeville). Once at the graveyard, go north a short distance to find the dragon spawns. This location is ideal for players who want a balance of risk and convenience, as the enclave offers a quick safety net if PKers appear.

2. South of Venenatis's Lair (Wilderness Level 31)

For players seeking more spawns, the area south of Venenatis's Lair (eastern Wilderness) is a top choice. There are eleven green dragons here-one of the highest spawn rates in the game-making it perfect for high-volume kills per hour.

Venenatis, a powerful wilderness boss, resides nearby, but she rarely interferes with green dragon hunting. However, this location is deeper in the Wilderness, meaning PKers here are often more powerful. Only hunt here if you're comfortable with high risk, and always stay alert for other players.

3. South of the Lava Maze (Wilderness Levels 35-37)

This is one of the deepest and most dangerous green dragon locations, but it offers consistent spawns and fewer crowds (due to the high risk). There are five green dragons here, and you can teleport directly to the area using a Burning Amulet-though you cannot teleport back out, as the Lava Maze is too deep in the Wilderness for most teleports.

To reach this spot without a Burning Amulet, run north from Edgeville into the Wilderness, pass the Graveyard of Shadows, and continue until you reach the Lava Maze. The green dragons are just south of the maze, near an ancient Wilderness obelisk that can be used to travel back to the mainland if needed.

4. Wilderness Slayer Cave (Wilderness Levels 12-14)

The Wilderness Slayer Cave is another popular spot, especially for players on a green dragon slayer task (assigned by Slayer Masters Vannaka and Chaeldar). This cave has two entrances and contains green dragons, but note that the dragons here are level 88-stronger than those in other locations-and the cave is still part of the Wilderness, so PKers can attack you inside.

The cave is located west of the Dark Warriors' Fortress, in Wilderness Levels 12-14. It's a good option for slayer tasks, but be cautious-its enclosed space makes it easy for PKers to ambush you, so always keep an eye on your minimap.

Other Minor Location: Corsair Cove Dungeon

For players looking for a lesser-known spot, the Corsair Cove Dungeon (southern Feldip Hills) has two green dragon spawns. This location is not in the Wilderness, so there's no risk of PKers, but the low spawn rate (only two dragons) makes it inefficient for farming or training.

To reach Corsair Cove Dungeon, sail to Corsair Cove using a boat from Port Sarim (requires completing the "Corsair Curse" quest). The dungeon is small, and the green dragons are located in a back room-this spot is best for players who want to avoid both PKers and crowds, even if it means fewer kills per hour.

Final Tips for Hunting Green Dragons

Regardless of which location you choose, always prioritize safety and efficiency. Use signs of the porter (if you have 48+ Divination) to send green dragon hides to the bank automatically, allowing you to carry more bones per trip. Toggle off auto-retaliate to avoid wasting time fighting baby black dragons or other irrelevant monsters in the Chaos Tunnels.

Green dragons are weak to ranged and stab attacks, so use gear that boosts these styles (like ranged armor and bolts) to speed up kills. With the right preparation and location choice, hunting green dragons can be a consistent source of combat experience, slayer points, and cheap RS gold.

Whether you're a new player testing the waters in the Chaos Tunnels or an experienced hunter chasing high spawns in the Wilderness, these locations will help you track down green dragons with ease. Stay alert, stay prepared, and enjoy the rewards of hunting one of OSRS's most iconic monsters.
