Anti-dragon shield

The Anti-dragon shield is an item used in the Dragon Slayer quest, which can be kept afterwards. It is obtained from Duke Horacio in Lumbridge Castle.

The shield's defensive bonuses are the same as the Iron square shield. In addition to this, the Anti-dragon shield prevents a great amount of damage from the magical fire-breath of dragons. When used in combination with an Antifire potion, the wearer does not take any damage from dragon breath until the potion runs out (except for the special attacks by the King Black Dragon).

Some players obtain multiple shields for the convenience of having them in the bank in case they die and lose one. Others get multiples so that they can sell them for a profit later on. Some higher-level Slayer players obtain multiple shields so that they can run past the Blue dragons in Kuradal's Dungeon without taking dragon breath damage. They then switch to a better shield and drop the anti-dragon shield to free up an inventory slot so that a more valuable drop can be taken.
