The royal dwarven gravestone is a 3 minute gravestone requiring the King of the Dwarves quest. It is available from Blasidar the sculptor in Keldagrim for 500,000 coins. It is the longest-lasting gravestone in the game, followed by the equally priced Angel of Death which lasts only 2:45 minutes.

Trivia

During the 2011 Hallowe'en event, an advertised Royal Dwarven Gravestone read "The only way to meet a dwarf taller than you! You know, because they're short and stuff."
Prior to the death rework, the royal dwarven gravestone would last for 15 minutes.

-The '''royal dwarven gravestone''' was released on [[4 January]] [[2011]], along with the [[King of the Dwarves]] [[quest]]. Its functionally is somewhat higher than the [[Angel of Death]] [[gravestone]], in that it lasts for 15 minutes before crumbling and that it costs 500,000 coins to acquire. It is the longest-lasting gravestone in the game. It may only be used after completion of King of the Dwarves and is available from [[Blasidar the sculptor]] in [[Keldagrim]].

+==Trivia==
-After its release, the royal dwarven gravestone became a source of some criticism in-game and on the RuneScape forums for the fact that it is functionally identical to, rather than superior to, the Angel of Death, which is a common gravestone among high-level players. Two particular sources of controversy were that the gravestone must be paid for in full and that it lasts just as long as a gravestone that many other players, particularly those with the skill requirements for King of the Dwarves, already have. However, this has been resolved from the February 1st update, where it now lasts 3 lminutes longer than the Angel of Death.
