Dragon full helm

From the RuneScape Wiki, the wiki for all things RuneScape


A Dragon full helm.

The Dragon full helm is a members-only item and a part of the Dragon plate armour set (l) and Dragon plate armour set (sk) To wear a Dragon full helm, one must have at least 60 Defence.

There are four ways to obtain a Dragon full helm:

  • Obtain one as a very rare drop from a Mithril dragon in the Ancient Cavern.
  • Receive one from a Barbarian spirit after lighting a pyre ship with Chewed bones (also very rare).
  • Trade with another player.
  • Purchase from the Grand Exchange.

It is the most expensive piece of dragon armour and the second most expensive melee headgear; the first being the Third age full helmet. Many players thought the helm would fall in price a while after its release, but the Dragon full helm, being a very rare drop from Mithril dragons, showed no significant signs of a price drop until the release of PvP worlds. Since the PvP drop update, the price has recovered somewhat.

Before the release of the Dragon full helm, many players thought that the full helm would never be made, since players had been requesting it in the official forums for such long periods of time, and often these kinds of requests would have resulted in items such as the spinning plate and the toy kite.

As with most dragon equipment (besides the Dragon platebody and Dragon sq shield), this piece of armour cannot be made using the Smithing skill.

[edit] Trivia

  • Shortly after the release of PvP worlds, many players did not believe that Dragon full helms were a drop from other players. Initially, a Jagex moderator denied this, until another Jagex moderator confirmed that Dragon full helms were indeed dropped on PvP worlds. On 16 June 2009, the full helm was removed from the PvP drop table.
  • When Dragon Full Helms were first released players paid upwards of 1.1 billion - 1.5 billion coins for them, significantly more than a Christmas Cracker.
  • When the Dragon full helm first came out, its stats beat the Third age full helmet's original stats by about 2 in each section. Jagex then updated the Third age helm, and now it is slightly stronger than the Dragon full helm.
