Template:Noseofire is the fiery breath used by dragons against their enemies. All adult Template:Noseos are able to use it, with the exception of the Revenant dragon.
Abilities
Template:Noseofire is much more powerful than regular fire or the fire from fire spells. A Template:Noseo can deal up to 6000 damage to players without proper equipment. Template:Noseofire is unique in the fact that it defies the combat triangle. It is a different form of attack in itself; however, it can still be partially resisted by using the Protect from Magic prayer or the Deflect Magic curse. This is only a small part, however, and even then it can hit up to 400+ damage. Familiars are not affected by Template:Noseofire.
Depending on what the game message says, and if you used anything, damage will be calculated as this:
- "You manage to resist some of the Template:Noseofire." - Approximately 500-1499 damage is dealt to the player
- "You are horribly burned by the Template:Noseofire!" - More than 1500+ damage is dealt to the player.
- "Your prayers resist some of the Template:Noseofire." - Damage ranging from 0-499 damage is dealt to the player.
Only metal dragons are able to use Template:Noseobreath over distance and will use the attack when both close or far away from the target, while chromatic dragons can only breathe fire up close. The King and Queen Black Dragon are even able to use multiple types of Template:Noseofire. The king's Template:Noseofires may include the added effects of freezing, poisoning and stat-reduction. Baby and pet Template:Noseos are not able to use Template:Noseofire.
The skeletal wyverns don't use Template:Noseofire, instead, they use an ice-type breath which is even more dangerous. It can reduce the stats of a player and prevent them from moving. This breath can only be negated with the use of an elemental shield or dragonfire shield. For player with access to Prifddinas, wyrmfire potions can be made. It protects from ice breath from Skeletal Wyverns as well as for Template:Noseofire for 6 minutes.
Protection
There are several methods to protect oneself against Template:Noseofire, or if not completely, most of the Template:Noseofire. Without these protection methods, killing a Template:Noseo can take a long time as their Template:Noseofire can hit very hard and often on you.
| Icon | Name | Effect | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
 
|
Protect from Magic and Deflect Magic |
Increases your resistance to dragonfire, although you will still take most of the damage. | Does not work for a metal dragon's or the Queen Black Dragon's dragonfire. Also does not stack with other dragonfire protection, contrary to popular belief. |
|
Antifire | This potion offers protection for 6 minutes and can be made by those with 69 herblore using a lantadyme and dragon scale dust on a vial of water. All by itself it does not offer good protection and should not be used as sole protection in battle. | If used with an antidragon shield it will offer full protection, this is often done against stronger dragons. |
|
Antifire flask | This offers protection for 6 minutes, like the Antifire, and can be made with a flask, made of robust glass, and with 6 doses of antifire. | If used with an antidragon shield it will offer full protection, this is often done against stronger dragons. |
|
Antifire mix | A max of 2 doses of antifire can be mixed with caviar to create an anti-fire mix. This is potion's effect is identical to the one above. | Also heals the player 200 LP |
|
Super antifire | Those with level 85 herblore can combine a 3 dose antifire with a desert phoenix feather to create a super antifire. Super antifire offers full protection against dragonfire, hence no other protection is needed (like the Dragon/anti-fire shields). However, they should mind the 6 minute limit of the potion, and be prepared to drink another dose. | This potion is untradeable, and the assist system cannot be used to make it. However, temporary boosts such as Greenman's ale can be used. |
|
Anti-dragon shield | An anti-Template:Noseo shield reduces the damage from dragonfire down to around 30, making it the most used way of protection. This shield can be obtained during the Dragon Slayer quest and thus players must have either begun this quest or purchased on the G.E. in order to increase their chance against a dragon greatly. | If used with an antifire (mix) it will offer full protection, this is often done against stronger dragons. Important: This shield does not provide protection from the icebreath of Skeletal wyverns. |
 
|
(uncharged) Dragonfire shield (charged) |
Same as the one above, with increased defensive stats and it can be charged with dragonfire. Players can also discharge the shield against monsters or other players to deal dragonfire damage. Making it requires a draconic visage, an anti-dragon shield and 90 smithing. Alternatively, it can be traded between players. The draconic visage is an extremely rare drop from stronger dragons like frost dragons or metal ones. The visage is not dropped by any chromatic dragons except black dragons, nor are they dropped by bronze dragons. |
If used with an antifire (mix) it will offer full protection, this is often done against stronger dragons. The dragonfire shield does provide protection from the icebreath of Skeletal wyverns. |
Using dragonfire
Players can also use Template:Noseofire in combat, but only under one condition. The Template:Noseofire used by players has the same effect as Template:Noseofire used by Template:Noseos. Therefore, it can hit very high against players without proper protection.
Template:Noseo bolt special
One way to use Template:Noseofire is by using enchanted dragon bolts in ranged. These bolts have, like other enchanted bolts, a special attack. This special attack enables the wearer to occasionally hit the opponent with a blast of Template:Noseofire, dealing 400 to 710 damage. The amount of damage dealt is based on the opponent's Defence level.
Just like regular Template:Noseofire, this methods will not cause damage if the opponent is a fire monster or a dragon. In PvP situations, if the opponent is wearing an Anti-Template:Noseo shield or under the effects of Antifire potions (or both) the damage is reduced significantly.
Magical fire is not considered as Template:Noseofire. The protection needed for Template:Noseofire doesn't provide protection against fire spells.
After While Guthix Sleeps, players need Template:Noseofire to combine the two parts of the dragonkin key. This can be done by using both parts of the key on a mithril dragon.
Players are able to discharge a blast of Template:Noseofire with the Dragonfire Shield by right clicking the shield. There is also the Dragon breath ability, which is no longer as effective following a hidden updated that reduced the 300% damage to 188%. However, unlike the Template:Noseofire Shield attack, the ability hits through players that have Template:Noseo fire protection.
Trivia
- The message when you are partially protected from Template:Noseofire is different depending on what kind of protection you have. For example: If you are using an anti-fire shield, it will say "the shield protects you from the heat". If you are using just an antifire potion, it will say "the anti-fire potion protects you from the fiery substance". This implies that Template:Noseofire is made up of several different factors, such as heat, substance and even magic.
