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. 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. 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. Its special attack, Rampage, requires 100% special attack energy, and increases the player's Strength level by 20%, but decreases Attack, Defence, Magic, and Ranged by 10%. This 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. Also 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 performe the Rampage special attack, but he/she will be holding the selected weapon. This glitch is now fixed.

As with all dragon equipment, this item cannot be made using the Smithing skill.
