The Corrupt dragon battleaxe was released on 15 October 2008 along with the PvP worlds. It is the strongest battleaxe available to non-members, but it crumbles to dust after 30 minutes of wielding. This weapon also gives the highest Strength bonus for non-members. It requires 60 Attack to wield.
Players can receive this item either by trading with another player, or receiving it as a very rare drop from killing another player in PvP worlds or Bounty Worlds.
This weapon has the best slash and strength bonuses for non-members (70 and 85, respectively), surpassing the previous record holder, the Rune two-handed sword.
When the battleaxe is bought, it is called "Corrupt dragon battleaxe". In this form it is tradeable, however once it is wielded it will change to "C. Dragon Battleaxe (deg)", which is the untradeable form. It may be assumed that this has been done by to prevent players from using it and then selling it when there is only a little amount of time left for it to degrade.
It is arguably the most desirable weapon in Free-to-Play, as many players hope to use it for a devastating final blow, which has the dual purpose of making it last longer. The maximum hit of this weapon in F2P is 37 with the right strength bonuses. It can be bought from the Grand Exchange in Varrock.
It is also the strongest weapon Free-to-play players could wield. Surpassing the Rune 2h Sword. As it's +85 Strength bonus (+95 with the Amulet of strength.) with Rune 2h sword's bonus is +70 (+80 with amulet of strength.) The Corrupt Dragon Battleaxe was released at 1m coins. It's now worth an astonishing 3.6m coins, and is expected to rise even more.
