Dragon gear
Build the Dragon sword and lance, wear dragon equipment, use Dragon's Fury, and open the Dragon Chest.
Dragon weapons, armour and tools are among the best in the game. Every drop rate is on the item pages and in Drops.
Building the Dragon sword
Collect a 
Dragon sword hilt, a 
Dragon sword blade and a 
Dragon sword tip.
| Piece | Monster sources include |
|---|---|
| Hilt | Greater Demon, Black Demon, Void Demon, King Black Dragon, Demon King |
| Blade | Blue Dragon, Red Dragon, Black Dragon, King Black Dragon, Demon King |
| Tip | Lesser Demon, Fire Giant, King Black Dragon, Demon King |
Most of these monsters roll each piece on its own, on top of their normal drop table, so a piece never costs you an ordinary drop; the Demon King's pieces are on its main table instead. The Dragon Chest also holds pieces and the finished sword.
With 70 Smithing, take all three pieces and a hammer to an anvil and use a piece on it. You get the 
Dragon sword and 125 Smithing XP before XP rates.
The 
Dragon lance is forged from five 
Dragon bars on an anvil with 90 Smithing and a hammer, and the King Black Dragon also drops it. It is built for dragons: while you wield it, you have 35% more accuracy and 30% more max hit against them.
Wearing dragon equipment
| Item | Needs |
|---|---|
| Dragon sword | 60 Attack |
 Dragon axe | 60 Attack |
| Dragon lance | 60 Attack |
 Dragon medium Helmet | 60 Defense |
 Dragon Square Shield | 60 Defense |
No quest is needed: the original quests that once locked the sword, axe and square shield are retired (see Quest requirement changes). Rights earned from the Dueling Guild Masters before the guild closed still waive the usual level requirement for the sword, axe, medium helmet and square shield. The square shield blocks dragonfire like an anti-dragon breath shield.
Dragon's Fury in combat
Equip a Dragon sword, Dragon axe, Dragon medium helmet, Dragon lance or 
Dragon crossbow, then choose Dragon's Fury on it while you are fighting.
| Item | Your next... |
|---|---|
| Dragon sword | melee attack has 50% more accuracy |
| Dragon axe | melee attack has 25% more max hit |
| Dragon medium helmet | defence against one melee or ranged attack is 50% higher |
| Dragon lance | melee attack against a monster cannot miss, with 25% more max hit, or 50% against dragons |
| Dragon crossbow | bolt at a monster cannot miss or glance, with 25% more max hit. Use it while you are firing, with bolts in your pack |
All of them share one cooldown of 200 seconds, and Oathbreaker's Oathbreak uses the same one. You cannot prepare Fury before a fight, and it is lost if the fight ends or you take the item off. Finishing a Stake King duel resets the cooldown. Dragon's Fury is unavailable during a verified duel.
Dragon tools
| Tool | Needs | Effect |
|---|---|---|
 Dragon pickaxe | 65 Mining | On copper, tin, iron, silver, coal, gold, mithril, adamantite and runite rocks it swings faster than Rune and succeeds more often. Ore up to mithril has a 10% chance to come up double, adamantite and runite 5%. The extra ore gives no XP. |
 Dragon harpoon | 68 Fishing | Catches only swordfish and sharks. It tries twice as often as an ordinary harpoon, succeeds slightly more often, and can land two fish at once, with XP for one. |
 Dragon Woodcutting Axe | 70 base Woodcutting | Swings twice as often as a Rune axe, with your normal level-based batch size. |
Each tool has its own Dragon's Fury. Start gathering, then choose it: a 15% chance finishes the rest of the batch at once. You get one try per batch, and every try, even a failed one, starts a cooldown of 3 minutes for that tool.
- The pickaxe drops from the Fire Giant and Vharok, and comes from the Skilling, Event and Dragon chests.
- The Fishing Guild Shop sells the harpoon, and the same three chests hold it.
- The axe drops from the King Black Dragon, Black Dragon, Demon King and Void Dragon, and comes from the Skilling Chest and the Dragon Chest.
Dragon keys and the Dragon Chest
Adult dragons can drop a 
Dragon Key: the King Black Dragon, Black Dragon, Red Dragon and Blue Dragon, and Void Dragons in the Margin and on the Summit. Baby dragons never do.
Use an unnoted key on the Dragon Chest in the Lava Maze dungeon (278, 3007), in level 43 Wilderness. No quest is needed, and Ironman characters can open it. The key is used up. Rewards range from dragon bones, bolts, bars and dragonstones to sword pieces and finished dragon weapons, armour and tools; see the Dragon Chest card for every reward.
