If you're tired of being roasted by dragons every time you turn a corner, you’re going to want the Anti-Dragon Shield. It’s one of the best ways to block Dragon Breath in RuneScape: Dragonwilds, and it comes with high block stats to help you stay alive.
Here’s how to get it and craft it.
Where to Find the Anti-Dragon Shield Blueprint
You’ll unlock the shield recipe while doing the Dragon Slayer main quest.
Head to the Whispering Swamp.
Look for a blue glowing door on the northeastern road. This leads into a hidden Dragonkin Vault.
Inside, make your way through traps and fight (or dodge) several Vault Guardians.
In the back room, you’ll find a statue with a glowing orb. Aim at the orb to unlock the Anti-Dragon Shield recipe.
Tip: Don’t leave the Vault without grabbing the quest update from the injured goblin. If you miss it, the NPC might bug out when you come back.
How to Craft the Anti-Dragon Shield
You’ll need to gather these materials:
12x Blightwood
4x Wild Anima
4x Hard Leather
6x Opal
8x Vault Shard
1x Vault Core
Blightwood comes from white tree roots near Bloodblight Swamp. Watch out for poison in that area—bring Crunchies or Kebabs.
Wild Anima is made by processing Anima-Infused Bark in a Kiln.
Hard Leather drops from Tier 3+ animals like Wolves. Use the Tanner’s Kit to craft it.
Vault Shards and Vault Cores are found inside other Dragonkin Vaults.
Once you have the materials, go to your Smithing Anvil (must be placed indoors) and craft the shield.
Final Blurb
The Anti-Dragon Shield has nearly 40 Block and blocks all kinds of Dragon Breath. It’s a must-have if you're heading into dragon-heavy areas. Getting it takes some work—but so does not dying.
