Dragon battleaxe detail

The dragon battleaxe is the strongest battleaxe that can be used outside of Daemonheim. It can only be wielded by members who have at least 60 Attack and who have completed the Heroes' Quest. It can be bought in the Heroes' Guild for 200,000 coins or as reward of Gold Chest from Shades of Mort'ton Activity. However, it is advised that players buy this weapon from the Grand Exchange in Varrock or another player as it is cheaper to do so, as prices are normally lower.

For a long time this weapon had the highest strength bonus for all one-handed weapons but has been surpassed by the statius's warhammer, vesta's longsword, chaotic longsword and chaotic rapier. It's worth noting, however, that all these degrade, making the dragon battleaxe a better choice for some scenarios.

ScammingEdit

Before the items kept on death update, a player would keep the item with the highest high alchemy value first. Because of the dragon battleaxe's high alchemy value, it was commonly used in luring scams. A player would bring another player with at least one valuable item into the Wilderness and trade or drop dragon battleaxes. Because of the steep high alchemy value of the battleaxes, they would often be kept instead of the player's more street-valuable items upon death. Despite the popularity of the dragon battleaxe for scamming, there are many other inexpensive items with high alchemy values that worked just as well. For example: torag's hammers, dragon plateskirts, verac's Flail.

TriviaEdit

  • Before the Evolution of Combat, this weapon used to have a special attack.
  • Before HD was introduced the dragon battleaxe had sharp blades on each side, now the blades are curved. Though the inventory icon still has sharp bladed ends.
  • In the 2012 Winter Weekends during week 5, it was a possible drop from the snowmen raids.
