Dragon battleaxe





The Dragon battleaxe is the strongest battleaxe. It can only be wielded by members who have at least 60 Attack and who have completed the Heroes' Quest. It can be bought in the Heroes' Guild for 200,000 coins. However, it is advised that players buy this weapon from the Grand Exchange or another player as it is cheaper to do so.

For a long time it had the highest strength bonus for all one-handed weapons but has been surpassed by the new Statius's warhammer and Vesta's longsword. This weapon is also considered to be the 3rd best 1-handed weapon, just behind the Abyssal Whip and the Dragon Scimitar.

Its special attack, Rampage, requires 100% special attack energy, and increases the player's Strength level by more than 20% (exact formula: floor(strength+(strength+9)*.2) ), but decreases Attack, Defence, Magic, and Ranged by about 10% (exact formula: floor(stat-(stat-9)*.1) ). When the special is activated, the player screams, "Raarrrrrgggggghhhhhhh!".

The strength boost accounts for the popularity of this weapon; however, although it isn't as commonly used as other dragon weapons, many will use the special attack to boost their strength level, switch to a faster weapon, and then drink a dose of a Restore potion. This weapon's special attack has gained popularity in the Pest Control minigame, as the player's special attack meter is refilled after the completion of each round. The battleaxe's special attack with a Stat restore potion can be used to replace a Super strength potion too.



Trivia
pressing ENTER with a selected phrase and clicking on the special attack bar at the same time. Although both phrases will appear on the chat window, it makes it appear as your selected phrase.
 * In Pest control, there was a glitch, in which if a player was holding the battleaxe while the lander landed, the player may click on the special attack bar, then go to the inventory to change the weapon. The player would perform the Rampage special attack, but he/she will be holding the selected weapon. This glitch is now fixed.
 * On German servers players yell "Aaaaaaaarrrrhhhhhhh!" instead of "Raarrrgggghhhh!" French servers may thus be different too.
 * When a players session is ended in the Fight Caves a players stats are returned to normal but the special attack bar remains the same. This means that if a player uses Rampage while in the fight cave and then dies, his/her stats will be reset, but the bar will still be drained for the next session.
 * Also, while in Pest Control(may work elsewhere), a player can use the chat window to make a custom phrase by
