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. Dragon armour is often overrated by F2P players, as most Barrows armour has better stats and is less expensive. 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 one of the highest valued melee armor in the game. The dragon armours are plate, chain, legs/skirt, full helm/med helm, square shield, boots, gloves/gauntlets. There is a Dragon chain armour set with the medium helm and the chainbody, and a Dragon plate armour set with the full helm and the platebody sold in the Grand Exchange.

It is often debated whether it is cheaper to buy Dragon armour or Barrows equipment, since Barrows equipment requires repairs every 15 hours of combat. Though barrows equipment has a much larger defence bonus than dragon armour does.

All of the Dragon armour or weapons can not be made using the Smithing skill with the exception of the Dragon platebody and the Dragon square shield.

The Dragon square shield 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 or make this shield.

To repair the Dragon platebody, level 92 Smithing is needed, along with a Blast fusion hammer. There are 3 parts is needed to repair the Dragon platebody, they are the Ruined dragon armour slice, the Ruined dragon armour lump and the Ruined dragon armour shard. The Assist system may be used.
