The Raptor (dragon expert)

Song from the Depths

The Raptor is one of the seven Signature Heroes. He is protective of his true identity, always appearing fully clad in armor and helm - refusing to take any of it off. Thus little is known about him. When talking to the Raptor, he will speak of monsters you have killed in quests and cast his opinion on the matter. <br/><br/> He can be found in the following locations. Note that many of these are neither permanent, nor stationary.<br/> <ul> <li>South side of the well at the <a href="$srlnk1044">Manor Farm</a>, when he is a current <a href="$srlnk1044#sell">Buyer</a> (featured map image).</li> <li>Inside the <a href="$gldlnk731">Warriors' Guild</a> in <a href="$clnk559">Burthorpe</a>.</li> <li>Killing <a href="$mlnk1412">Chaos dwogres</a> at the Chaos Dwarf Battlefield.</li> <li>Killing <a href="$mlnk54">Lesser demons</a> outside the resource dungeon inside the <a href="$mplnk124">Karamja volcano</a>.</li> <li>Killing Gnomes at the Khazard Battlefield.</li> <li>Inside the <a href="$mglnk987">Gamer's grotto</a> talking to the <a href="$plnk1347">Head mystic</a>. </li> <li><a href="$clnk955">Daemonheim</a>, commenting on the player's adventures.</li> <li>Killing <a href="$mlnk833">Brutal green dragons</a> in the Ancient Caverns.</li> <li>Standing on the first floor of the <a href="$gldlnk242">Legends' Guild</a>.</li> <li>Killing <a href="$mlnk54">Lesser demons</a> in the <a href="$mplnk961">Wilderness volcano</a>.</li> <li>Demanding an assignment from <a href="$plnk2422">Kuradal</a>, just outside her dungeon.</li> <li>Standing outside of the <a href="$clnk269">East Ardougne</a> castle.</li> </ul> <br/> During Song from the Depths, he will travel deeper into the cave, and ultimately into the Queen Black Dragon, after you. When you are all spit out, he will even shield you from the dragonfire that follows. <br/><br/> Within the <a href="$srlnk1044">Player-Owned Farms</a>, Raptor is a Large pen <a href="$srlnk1044#sell">buyer</a> who specifically wishes to purchase your dragons. He will purchase up to 6 for a varying amount of beans. The base value is dependent upon the animal's <a href="$srlnk1044#age">age</a> and are as follows: <br/> <table class="sitetable" cellpadding="2"> <tr> <td class="sitetablehead">Age</td> <td class="sitetablehead">Beans</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="sitetblrow">Egg</td> <td class="sitetblrow center">200</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="sitetblrow">Baby</td> <td class="sitetblrow center">400</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="sitetblrow">Adolescent</td> <td class="sitetblrow center">2,000</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="sitetblrow">Adult</td> <td class="sitetblrow center">1,700</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="sitetblrow">Elder</td> <td class="sitetblrow center">1,400</td> </tr> </table> Note that the actual value obtained will vary depending on several other factors. From lowest to highest, these include: <br/> <ul> <li>-10% - Nice but Dim trait</li> <li>-05% - Surly trait</li> <li>-02% - Limited Effency trait</li> <li>+02% - Lucky trait</li> <li>+05% - Unlucky for Some trait</li> <li>+05% - Animal farmer outfit</li> <li>+10% - Master farmer outfit</li> <li>+10% - Fortunate trait</li> <li>+10% - Buyer's desired breed</li> <li>+10% - Buyer's desired trait</li> <li>+25% - Buyer's desired breed and trait</li> <li>+52% - Highest possible bonus - Lucky, Unlucky for Some, and Fortunate traits + Master farmer outfit + desired breed and trait</li> </ul> <br/> Note that you will not ALWAYS find this NPC at their <a href="$srlnk1044">Player-Owned Farm</a> location. They will need to be your current <a href="$srlnk1044#sell">buyer</a> for that size pen and you must have not sold them their max amount of critters.
