The Dragon square shield (Dragon sq shield) is a piece of dragon equipment, and among the best shields in the game. It is found in two halves, which may be merged by using them with a hammer on an anvil, provided that players have level 60 smithing. The shield right half can be purchased in the Legends' Guild for 750,000 coins after completing the Legends Quest. Players must have 60 defence and completed the aforementioned Legends Quest to wield the shield. The shield left half, however, must be obtained as a rare drop from any monster that drops gems. It is strongly recommended that players purchase the shield from the Grand Exchange or from other players to save money.

It is also worth noting that, being a square shield, the Dragon Sq shield does not include a negative magic defence bonus.

[edit] Trivia

  • Vannaka, the Combat Instructor and Slayer Master, wields a steel two-handed sword along with the dragon square shield at the same time.
  • Originally the individual images of the shield's right and left halves combined would have resembled a kite shield rather than a square shield. This was fixed after player comments.

  • The symbol matches the one on the toy kite and the symbol of the Legends' Guild.
  • Zamorak Warriors in the Chaos Tunnels seem to wield dragon square shields along with dragon long swords.
