Toktz-ket-xil

The Toktz-ket-xil (also known as the Obsidian shield or Obby shield) is an obsidian shield that requires at least 60 Defence to wield. Its defensive stats are nearly identical to the granite shield's, but what makes this shield a more popular choice is its +5 strength bonus, despite its lower defence bonuses and higher price than a Rune kiteshield. Its strength bonus equals that provided by a Rune defender but it does not provide attack bonuses. The Obsidian Shield provides +20 defence over the Rune Defender, while the Rune Defender provides +20 attack over the Obsidian Shield. Thus, the Obsidian Shield is used by players willing to compromise attack for defence.

To obtain an obsidian shield, one can either buy one from the weapon shop in the TzHaar city; trade with another player, use the services of the Grand Exchange; or obtain one as a monster drop from a TzHaar-Ket.

This piece of equipment cannot be made using any skills.

Trivia

 * The banner released along with the quest The Temple at Senntisten on 3 December 2009 displayed a player wielding an Obsidian shield, which was confirmed by Mod Emilee when many people thought it was a Dragon Kiteshield.
