From the RuneScape Wiki, the wiki for all things RuneScape

As with all Dragon equipment (except the Dragon platebody and the Dragon sq shield), this item cannot be made using the smithing skill.

The Dragon battleaxe is the strongest battleaxe. 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. 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.

For a long time it had the highest strength bonus for all one-handed weapons but has been surpassed by the new Statius's warhammer and Vesta's longsword.

[edit] Special Attack

Its special attack, Rampage, requires 100% special attack energy, and increases the player's Strength level by roughly 20% at the cost of Attack and Defence.

When the special is activated, the player screams, "Raarrrrrgggggghhhhhhh!". (On an English server, other "shout-outs" are found here.)

[edit] Popularity

The strength boost accounts for the popularity of this weapon; however, although it isn't as commonly used as other dragon weapons, many will use the special attack to boost their strength level, switch to a faster weapon, and then drink a dose of a Restore potion. This weapon's special attack has gained popularity in the Pest Control minigame, as the player's special attack meter is refilled after the completion of each round. The battleaxe's special attack with a Stat restore potion can be used to replace a Super strength potion too.

[edit] Trivia

In Pest control, there was a glitch, in which if a player was holding the battleaxe while the lander landed, the player may click on the special attack bar, then go to the inventory to change the weapon. The player would perform the Rampage special attack, but he/she will be holding the selected weapon. This glitch is now fixed.
When a players session is ended in the Fight Caves a players stats are returned to normal but the special attack bar remains the same. This means that if a player uses Rampage while in the fight cave and then dies, his/her stats will be reset, but the bar will still be drained for the next session.
Also, a player can use the chat window to make a custom phrase by pressing ENTER with a selected phrase and clicking on the special attack bar at the same time. Although both phrases will appear on the chat window, it makes it appear as your selected phrase.
There is a glitch while in a player owned house sitting at a chair (also includes rocking chairs) and using the special attack.
The exact formula for the special attack is: "floor((strength-60)/15)+16". However, it also decreases Attack, Defence, Magic, and Ranged by about 10%, the exact formula is "floor(stat-(stat-9)*.1)". ^{[source needed]}
