	In order to make the best use of Wyrmbane, one must first kill many dragons with it. Fortunately, this is an easier task than it might seem. Getting Wyrmbane up to +12 can be accomplished by hunting [[fire dragon\|fire]] and [[ice dragon]]s, which can be found throughout [[the Depths]] easily enough. [[Storm dragon\|Storm]], [[shadow dragon\|shadow]], and [[quicksilver dragon]]s (HD 14-17) are often found in [[Vaults]]:5. [[List of draconians\|Professional draconians]] (HD 16) can be found in [[Zot]] and around its entrance.		In order to make the best use of Wyrmbane, one must first kill many dragons with it.

	[[~~Golden~~ dragon~~\|Golden~~]] and [[bone dragon]]s are probably the easiest dragons to find that will get you all the way up to +18. ~~You~~ can ~~either dip into~~ the ~~Realm of Zot to hunt~~ golden dragons~~, or into~~ [[~~The Crypt~~]], ~~where~~ bone ~~dragons~~ and [[~~skeleton (monster)\|skeletal~~]] or [[~~zombie\|zombified~~]] ~~dragons of very high HD tend to roam~~. The [[Abyss]], [[Hell]]s, and [[Pandemonium]] all contain even more dragons for the particularly daring explorer to slay.		[[Wyrmhole]]s, [[golden dragon]]s and [[bone dragon]]s are probably the easiest dragons to find that will get you all the way up to +18. Wymholes can be found in the [[Depths]], golden dragons in [[Zot]], and [[bone dragon]]s and [[derived undead]] dragons can be found in [[The Crypt]]. The [[Abyss]], [[Hell]]s, and [[Pandemonium]] all contain even more dragons for the particularly daring explorer to slay.

	The uniques [[Maggie]] and [[Margery]] both have a tiny chance (1%) of spawning with a slightly pre-enchanted Wyrmbane; Maggie's version is +9 while Margery has raised it to +10.

	Very high. A fully empowered '''Wyrmbane'''<ref>{{source ref\|0.31.0\|art-data.txt\|~~675~~}}</ref> is a top-tier weapon, arguably ''the'' best in the game. First off, Wyrmbane has a high, irresistible damage output. It also takes little skill to reach [[mindelay]], can be wielded with a [[shield]] (for all species), and provides some very helpful resistances.		Very high.

	Be aware that the [[dragon slaying]] brand has little to do with its excellent performance. Swinging a +18 or so lance at 0.5 delay works fine against any opponent. It stacks well with other slaying bonuses and [[might]]/[[berserk]].		Be aware that the [[dragon slaying]] brand has little to do with its excellent performance.

	A +9 branded [[demon trident]] or [[partisan]] can deal more damage at sufficient strength and/or skill, and they don't ~~need to kill dragons~~.
