Dragon longsword



Dragon longsword is the 2nd strongest longsword available, the strongest being Vesta's longsword. The Dragon Longsword can only be wielded by members who have at least 60 Attack and who have completed the Lost City quest. The dragon longsword has a special attack, Cleave, which increases the player's damage for one hit, using 25% special attack energy. It was, at one point, the best weapon available in RuneScape. It is a rare drop from revenant dragons and the corporeal beast.

The Dragon longsword can be purchased in the Zanaris marketplace for 100,000 coins, or from other players either through the Grand Exchange or one-to-one trading. It can also be obtained by looting a Dragon impling found either in the Impetuous Impulses minigame or roaming around RuneScape.

The longsword is a favourite for medium level players buying their first dragon weapon as it has a low cost yet can still inflict reasonable damage, known to hit over 60 points of damage with the special attack. For a long time, prior to the introduction of the Abyssal whip, this was the weapon of choice for both player killing and training. The Dragon longsword however, is an underestimated weapon because of its popularity with inexperienced and medium level players, thus creating a stereotype that the Dragon longsword is a "noob" weapon. The Dragon longsword can be considered the 4th best one-handed weapon in the game, behind the Abyssal whip, Dragon scimitar, and the Dragon battleaxe, but can be weaker than weapons such as the Dragon mace and the Obsidian splitsword in specific means.

Like all longswords it is a one-bladed weapon. Its holding position is similar to the position in which the Blurite sword is held, although when walking/running its holding position is the same as any other longsword. The Dragon Longsword, along with the Rune defender is also a cheap option for a weapon when fighting the Corporeal Beast for those who do not wish to spend so much money on a Dragon Halberd or Zamorakian Spear. It is a good weapon in the Fist of Guthix minigame, along with the dragon dagger because of its special attack, which increases attack and strength by 20% each.

As with all Dragon equipment (besides the Dragon platebody and the Dragon sq shield), this item cannot be made with the Smithing skill.
