Dragon armour
From the RuneScape Wiki, the wiki for all things RuneScape
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/skirt, full helm/med helm, square shield, and boots) costing around 53 million coins (Much of the cost of the "set" goes to the dragon full helm; with the Dragon med helm, the set only costs about 11-12 million coins). It is also worth noting that in the Grand Exchange, the Dragon Armour set is sold with the Dragon Medium Helm instead of the Dragon Full Helm.
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. Though barrows equipment have a much larger defence bonus than dragon armour does.
None of the Dragon armours or weapons can be smithed. Though the 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 or make this shield.

- The dragon square shield can be made by using the two halves on an anvil. This requires level 60 Smithing.
[edit] 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, Dragon berserker shield and Dragon defender.
Because of this, Jagex has come up with a few April Fool's jokes, with Dragon plates and Dragon kites actually being toys that players can buy from Diango in the Draynor Village.
