If you’re more “shield and justice” than “fireball and chaos,” the Paladin Armor Set might be exactly what you need in RuneScape: Dragonwilds. This heavy armor doesn’t just protect — it turns defense into offense, giving you huge boosts when you play patiently and time your blocks. It’s perfect for anyone who wants to stand their ground and hit back even harder.
Where to Find Paladin Armor
The Paladin Armor is tucked away inside the Dragon Vault located in the Fractured Plains region. To reach the vault, look for the entrance blocked by large stone boulders — break your way through and get ready to dive into a full dungeon crawl.
Once inside, your goal is to track down three Dragonkin Effigies hidden throughout the vault. Each statue you find will give you a recipe for one piece of the Paladin set:
Statue 1: Unlocks the Paladin Helmet
Statue 2: Grants the Paladin Platelegs
Statue 3: Rewards the Paladin Platebody
These are spread out across the vault, so don’t just sprint to the first room and bail — explore carefully. You’ll need to deal with enemies and hazards along the way, but the rewards are well worth it.
Paladin Armor Combat Stats
This set is Power Level 4, making it one of the higher-end options for melee-focused builds. Here’s the stat breakdown:
Melee Defense: 12
Ranged Defense: 10
Magic Defense: 9
Durability: 1400
But the real reason to wear this set is the set bonus — especially if you're into blocking and counter-attacks.
Paladin Set Bonus
-33% Block Stamina Cost
+50% Critical Chance After Blocking
+25% Damage to Staggered Targets
Basically, if you’re the kind of player who likes to block, then punish enemies while they’re still recovering — this armor turns that playstyle into a powerhouse. It pairs great with weapons like the Abyssal Whip, which hit fast and hard once a target’s guard is down.
Final Blurb
The Paladin Armor Set isn’t just for looks — though it does look pretty noble. It’s one of the best choices for players who like to play smart, wait for openings, and then hit like a truck. If you’re ready to embrace the faith (or at least some very heavy metal), head into the Fractured Plains and earn it the old-fashioned way — through grit and glory.
