Dragon armour

Dragon armour is considered the next step up from Rune armour. All dragon armour requires level 60 Defence to wear and is members-only. They are a distinctive red in colour and are generally sold at fairly high prices, or are dropped by high-leveled monsters at a low drop rate. Dragon armour is considered the one of the highest value melee armour set in the game; a full set (Chain, legs, full helm, square, and boots) costing around 65 million coins. (Much of the cost of the "set" goes to the dragon full helm; without it, the set only costs about 12-14 million coins.)

It is often debated whether it is cheaper to buy Dragon armour or Barrows equipment, since Barrows equipment require repair every 15 hours of combat.

No Dragon armour or weapon can be smithed from bars. One such exception is the Dragon square shield, which is created by combining a Shield left half with a Shield right half on an anvil, which requires 60 Smithing. Note you also need the Legends Quest completed to be able to wield this shield.

 * The dragon square shield can be made by using the two halves onto an anvil. This requires level 60 Smithing.

Non-existent dragon armour
Some pieces of dragon armour are in very high demand by players. These include the Dragon platebody, Dragon kiteshield, Dragon spikeshield and Dragon berserker shield.

Because of this, Jagex been involved with a few April Fool's jokes, with Dragon plates and Dragon kites actually being toys that players can buy from Diango in Draynor Village.
