Adamant Dragons
Combat level 338 · 295 hitpoints
Lithkren Vault, alongside the rune dragons. Slightly weaker than rune dragons but they actually edge them out on gp/hr, and the requirements are the same trip.
Requirements
- Dragon Slayer II
- HP 90+
- Magic 75+
- Antifire mandatory
Pointers
- ANTIFIRE IS MANDATORY. Metallic dragons with real dragonfire.
- Like rune dragons they have a strong EARTH weakness, so earth spells with a tome of earth are the standard.
- They use melee, ranged and magic, so expect chip damage through whatever prayer you run.
- Same trip as rune dragons. Many players kill both in one visit to Lithkren.
- Dragon bones and adamantite bars are the bulk income; the visage is the jackpot.
What the sim brings here
Every worn slot and every inventory row below is the combat simulation's own output, at the style it ranks fastest for each account tier. Each line carries the channel that chose it: sim means the model solved it, and inherited means the value came through from the hand-authored loadout the solver starts from. Riding through a generator does not make a value derived, so those are marked rather than presented as the model's answer. A line marked unattributed carries a channel the model's own vocabulary no longer declares, so no word is put on it at all rather than one being read off the channel's spelling. Where the model has not answered a row, its own refusal is printed instead; where it has answered a row it doubts, the answer is printed with the doubt attached rather than withheld.

The model doubts this gear (tied with an identical item, so enumeration order decided): the head, cape, neck, ammo, body, legs slots each hold an item the model cannot tell apart from an alternative the search could equally have taken, re-scored identical in this row's own bag. Enumeration order decided it, so the sim had NO REASON; that is not the same as the pick being wrong. SOLVED_GEAR_TIES names them.
Inventory: 5 of 6 rows chosen by the sim, 1 carrying no channel at all.

Open question, not a ruling: Shane: whether runes the page tells the player to carry (alching, telegrab, a mechanic closer) outrank a thrall or Vengeance the damage model ranked on value, when the two live on different books.

What each of those badges means
- derived:ascent (sim): an accepted coordinate-ascent move: betterThan() preferred this candidate over the incumbent under the row objective and band. The weapon+ammo+shield pairing and the crystal set arrive here too, because both are offered to the same acceptance test.
- derived:composed (sim): balanceInventory() sized this row from the derived supply menu. The menu enumerates CONSUMABLES and narrows by style, tier and price; it is not the authored bag.
- derived:empty (sim): the finished loadout leaves this slot EMPTY, and that is an ANSWER rather than a gap: a two-handed weapon forfeits the shield and a weapon that stores its own ammunition frees the ammo slot. Recorded so a null slot is never read as unprovenanced.
- derived:obtainable (sim): canonicaliseObtainable(): the finished loadout named a variant the model cannot state a route to, and this pass swapped it for the obtainable equal.
- derived:pouch (sim): derivePouchInto(): the rune pouch and its loose overflow, from the spell the build actually casts and the pouch slot criterion. Not from a pouch a human typed.
- derived:required (sim): requiredUtilities(): the fight was priced with and without the item and carrying it lowers damage taken. No per-boss table.
- derived:seedWeapon (sim): the weapon the ascent BEGAN from, taken off the dps-ranked weapon shortlist, or the forced weapon of a multi-start seed. Never off a start loadout.
- derived:spec (sim): a carried special-attack weapon PROPOSED by `specPlan` (specchoice.js), which prices every SPEC_ATTACKS weapon that deals damage or drains defence on top of the bag solved without one, and KEPT by `judgeSpecArms` only where the composed bag with it beats the bag without it under `compareScores`. The row's `kpt.specWeapon` carries both arms.
- derived:travel (sim): travelPlan(): the way IN, ranked out of the derived transport graph against this account's own unlocks, rather than copied from whatever a human typed. The way OUT is a separate channel (`ruled:escape`) because it is a typed choice, not a ranking.
- ruled:escape (ruled): escapeLeg(): the way OUT, taken from the typed per-tier table ESCAPE_PLAN and judged against the account, with nothing substituted and no fallback ladder. The ACCOUNT CHECK is a derivation; the CHOICE of item is not, so this is not a `derived:` channel. ESCAPE_PLAN carries no attributedTo field (PROVENANCE_BACKLOG: silent-and-unattributed), so this channel does not claim one either.
