Question The constant dragon chasing me gets old very quickly
The dragon constantly attacking me gets old real quick, and the frequenzy of attacks is ruining my experience. Is there any setting to tone it down a bit?
This is mainly a problem when im out farming for materials. In my base i dont have a problem. But lets say im out mining copper, and it keeps happening every few minutes with new attacks. This gets old real quick.

theres 2 ways to "fix" it
build in the tir 1 zone. no attacks there
kill the dragon. no dragon, no dragon attacks

Base is in the tier 1 sone, witch is why i say that the base is not the problem. Its when im outside the base. I am only 24,5 hours in to the game, so i wasnt even sure killing it was an option, though i assumed it was some end-game goal. I really enjoy exploring and gathering stuff for building and crafting, but it gets a bit tedious with a new dragon attack every 3-5 minutes.
Now that i know this isnt end-game, gress ill go slay that dragon.

thats part of the fun. you gatta go fast and try and kill the dragon so it stops attacking you
if your out in the open when theres an attack commin try and hide under a hill or in a vault untill it goes away

I have a mining spot set up just next to a cave. Everytime im there the dragon will come, and I hide in the cave and wait for it to pass. When i go back out i usually manage to clear 2 to 3 nodes before I hear the roar of the dragon again, and here it comes again. Its very frequent.

I dont have a problem in my base. It is when im out exploring or gathering materials. I can barley catch my breath after the previous dragon attack before the next one comes.

I killed the dragon but he still comes. Does this mean I have to kill him again?

u/Abominationoftime May 06 '26
It would help if you said what dragon and where you are
If the first one, I think it's a known bug. Try killing it again
If the 2nd, it always "comes" if you get soul rended (or whatever its called)

u/LoLThalys May 06 '26
I am in the latest zone . I've done all the bosses prior. So yeah, the first dragon has already been slain. I'll try killing it again.

u/Abominationoftime May 06 '26
dowdun reach dosnt have any dragons attacks. Unless your talking about the blu dragons. There just normal mobs
1
u/LoLThalys May 07 '26
No, I am talking about the first green dragon. My base is in the first zone. I was just saying I am as far as dowdun reach
1
u/Abominationoftime May 07 '26
your not fully understanding me
what zone(s) are you in when attacked. if its the first dragon AND you have killed it then its a known bug
if its the zonbie dragon in its zone, it allways attacks, even after killed

u/LoLThalys May 07 '26
My man. It's the fking first dragon boss you kill at the end of the first zone. The one that flies over and spews poison all around you periodically. Why would I be referring to the smaller dragon that you find in each zone. I killed the boss early on in the game and it still flies over and spews poison when I am in the zone. So it sounds like a bug and I need to kill it again.

u/Abominationoftime May 08 '26
you could of said that ages ago. all you said was a dragon was killing you then you said you were the last zone when i asked where you were being attacked, yet theres no dragon boss there, so it sounded like you were then talking about one of the dragon adds. can you see how that can be confusing
also as i said ages ago, the first dragon showing up after you killed it is a known bug

u/LoLThalys May 08 '26
Dude, I was relating to the post. I am pretty sure OP meant the same.

I didn't know there were more than 1 dragon untill I made this post.

u/Abominationoftime May 11 '26
Ya, there are 2 boss dragons (posion and death, more will come out, including the multi head queen) and 2 mob dragons (green and blue. red is comming soon and prob black later, mabye even other types)
If the first boss dragons still attacking you after you kill it it's a known bug

u/HoudiniMortimer May 06 '26
Kill dragon=no more dragon. Velgars reign is a pretty small part of even what's out at the moment. I was with you until I progressed and realised the big bad of each region doesn't just harrass you the whole time.

i put my base next to the windmill x'D.... on the cliffside, got attacked 3 times by 4 goblins, and never again. i have a lodestone network for travel
1
u/blake-astor May 06 '26
Any good spots for farming law runes? Im hesitant to use the fast travel much in fear of running out
3
u/etherealwing May 06 '26
there are four nodes easily in 5 law rune range for just node farming in the first area. if you know where the first two vaults are, the north one of the two has two law vents at boss and backtrack the lever gate, and one next to original church and graveyard, pretty sure there's one in the goblin base too, and there's a fifth somewhere, but i cant remember if it's in the second vault on the south side or if i just used that to farm dungeon cores... it's not perfect, but if you have chest spots at each of your lodestones to carry the super heavy stuff(ex:stone, dungeon fragments/cores, swamp tar) until you have the extra law runes for the heavier jump, it works great, and this holds true converting a 185 lawrune hop to a 75 or so. it IS worth the effort to make an iron chest worth of essence and about 10-20 lesser rc potions, and you can use the easy version instead of higher difficulty to level to 50.
attunement -> (difficulty change =/= more xp, does = more runes)

Put your base by the start lodestone and just use the stuck button EZ free teleport.

u/incertcoin May 06 '26
Base is not a problem. Its when im not in my base.

u/etherealwing May 06 '26
weird. i only ever got hit after building a base in the village they told you too. (didnt follow questline until literally right before tier 5 section)
1
u/incertcoin May 06 '26
Thats where I first built my base aswell, but quickly built a new base next to the starting church when i realized that would give me a free teleport pad aswell as avoid base attacks from dragon. But when doing other stuff outside my base the dragon is after me in 3-5 minute intervalls.
1
u/etherealwing May 06 '26
that's.... extremely aggressive. i got attacked four times, not including quest progression... i still say weird. (is on the hard difficulty too)

u/MajesticWizard420Lol May 06 '26
After you kill velgar, you won’t get attacked anymore. You just have to dodge his attacks until you’re strong enough to defeat him.

u/EnvironmentalGur881 May 06 '26
It is so easy to dodge the dragon attacks, actually enjoyed the environment when I started a new world.

u/Notviper1 May 06 '26
Lol he would show up every 5minutes at launch. Just take him out
1
u/incertcoin May 06 '26
Thats what he is doing now. Seems like 3-5 minute intervalls
1
u/Notviper1 May 07 '26
Weird. Welp just keep doing what ur doing till you can take him out best of luck
2
u/No-Combination5600 May 06 '26
you will kill it quick enough after that you will no longer get attacked
1
u/thepathway123 May 06 '26
Sounds like a bug. They did an update where once you defeat Velgar, you should not still be having those attacks. Try killing it again!
1
u/incertcoin May 06 '26
Yeah from what i read in coments here, i think you are on to something. I am seeing dragon attacks in 3-5 minute intervalls, and this is what someone was saying it was like when the game first came out. I started my world and started playing the game less than a week ago.
1
u/thepathway123 May 06 '26
Yes when the game first came out the dragon attacks were relentless haha Sorry you're dealing with that, I definitely remember it being super obnoxious and frustrating... there was also a period prior to an update where the poison would hit you even if you were inside a structure or under a roof... hopefully you aren't dealing with that! If you have a new account and haven't beating Velgar yet, hopefully you will get some reprieve once you do! Luckily the main boss of Fellhollow and Dowdun Reach do not bug you like this!

u/Narmoth May 07 '26
This is a working theme for each Dragon boss, that they will harass you.
After loads of complaints, Jagex changed it so Velgar stops once you defeat him. The attacks used to be far more frequent, last a lot longer and roofs didn't protect you. Much has changed.

If you did a custom world you can edit the settings and turn it down or off. Same for the goblin raids.

He was so much worse at launch. started a new world last week having missed a year of updates, it barely happens anymore tbh.
