Hello all, i came across this concept art image on the runescape forums in a thread about RuneCast.
And it got to my attention that the player in front is wearing some new kind of weapon (to me it looks like the dragon crossbow or something) and a new cape. Anyone got ideas what it might be? :) Thejman 17:46, May 17, 2012 (UTC)
ooh yeah, to me it looks like a dragon crossbow also, I'm thinking maybe the cape (or possibly the weapon) could be the damage-reduction thing as a reward from the upcoming quest song from the depths, mentioned in bts? i guess we'll just have to wait and find out :)
she looks scary. StarTalk 17:54, May 17, 2012 (UTC)
Looks like a dragon crossbow and a cape from killing the QBD (it has her mug on it). Can you leave a link of which page you found this concept art from? 17:54, May 17, 2012 (UTC)
Here is the link to the thread i found it on: Click hereThejman 18:08, May 17, 2012 (UTC)
It is the coral crossbow that was released in the song from the depths quest, and has ben ocnfirmed to be upgradable upon the release of the QBD by Thurgo.
The Queen Black Dragon`s head is disproportionate to her body, given that a player may walk inside her stomach in "A Song From the Depths"
The presence of grotworms in the Queen Black Dragon`s stomach may suggest that they are eaten intentionaly to act as a gird, killing anything alive that the Queen Black Dragon eats.

In a interview with Mod Osborn, he said that the QBD was so old and huge, with rotting scales and stuff, that these parasites, the grotworms crawl into her. Also, it isn't really disproportionate, most reptiles' stomach can be many times larger than the head, look at a snake, it can eat stuff nearly 10 times it's size.
This is with the assumption that the Queen Has a Snake/Worm like body with muscles that can extend to acomidate large items. However when eaten we see that the Queens stomach forms a solid floor and walls. this would mean that she has muscles keeping this "room" solid enough to walk on. this would easily add another 5-10 yards of muscle beyond what is seen. for this to be proportionate the queen would need to have a body larger than FIVE lumbidge castles. making the head we see unequil to the body.
Komodo dragon here, the komodo dragon's stomach is about 4 times it's head, roughly, you said it's body roughly 5 times larger than the lumbridge castles, well, I'd say it's head is about the size of one castle, 4 castle length, I'd say it's pretty proportionate, that and the fact that the Queen is elongated shape, some snakes and most worms have their stomach and intestines as one straight line from the mouth to the anus, it is very big compared to their bodies. Also, please sign your posts and put them after the previous one by typing in ~~~~ after your post, thanks.

The point of what was said was that her head Isn`t the sise of lumbridge castle.
so you just nullified your own arguement. CYA!

What is the porpose of the Queen Black Dragons collar? I assume that it was either used by the dragonkin observer to keep control of his "Project" or as part of the artifact system used to keep her asleep. are there any j-mod sources stating the purpose of her collar?

Are all those drops noted? I mean 9 dragonstones and the like? because it would seem you would quickly run out of inventory space collecting them if they aren't...
None of these drops are noted, but you can deposit them directly to your bank without having to take them to your inventory.
Can anyone take screenshots of the Queen Black Dragon with her crystal skin and hardened carapace? Just one quick full screen shot, no need for detail?
here you go I found it and edited with gimp still looking for hardened carapace.
Erm; thanks a lot, the pictures are better than anything I'd hoped for, but I was asking if you could put them up on the actual article... I'd do it myself, but I don't know how to paste pictures in articles
I recall that against Nomad, the Spirit Kyatt was used as an effective way to kill him - the Kyatt would do most of the damage, as opposed to the player. Does this work against the QBD? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.203.206.52 (talk) on 21:35, June 22, 2012 (UTC).
I think that Nomad's defence is higher than the dragon's. It isn't hard to hit often on her, she just has an immense amount of hitpoints. THARKON 15:28, June 27, 2012 (UTC)
Both the Onyx page and Uncut Onyx page mention that you can get them from killing her. There seems to be something wrong with this because firstly, neither are listed on the drops on this page, and second, I don't think she would drop both uncut and cut variants (though I don't know first hand). The uncut onyx page says you can get one from killing her and the cut onyx page mentions that you can get two from killing her, but again, neither cut/uncut is listed as a drop here.

It should be mentioned that, if both you and the Queen die at the same time, upon entry to her lair you will instead be taken to the reward chest. I don't know where to mention this and honestly didn't check to see if it would be in the article (sorry if it is). Nothing special here. (talk) 22:14, October 9, 2012 (UTC)
Based on the exp drops from each hit, the QBD gives total combat experience equal to 1.68 times what you hit, or 3.15 times more than the base. A full QBD kill, excluding exp from killing worm spawns, gives exactly 50,400 exp. Thus, the QBD has total hitpoints of 30,000 (7,500 per phase) rather than 75,000. 152.3.43.130 15:31, October 24, 2012 (UTC)
I just killed QBD and got a Rune sq shield in the reward chest. I did have a RoW but It's not listed on the rare drop table so can we assume It's something she can now drop? TSXtalk 21:40, April 3, 2013 (UTC)
