This provides partial protection from dragon-breath attacks.

The anti-dragon shield is an item obtained from Duke Horacio in Lumbridge Castle during the Dragon Slayer quest. After the quest, the shield can be purchased from Oziach. It can also be obtained from other players regardless of their progress in the quest, but a player must have at least started Dragon Slayer in order to equip the shield.

The anti-dragon shield mitigates the effects of dragonfire, reducing the maximum hit of most dragon-breath attacks by >80%. It also prevents Elvarg from severely draining the player's combat stats. The effects of antifire potion stack with the anti-dragon shield; using both provides full protection from standard dragonfire attacks.

The shield's defensive bonuses are roughly akin to those of an iron sq shield, though it also provides magical defence and has no attack penalties. This gives it some usefulness as an all-purpose shield.

Upgrading

Using a hammer and anvil, players with 90 Smithing (can be boosted) can attach a draconic visage to an anti-dragon shield to create a dragonfire shield. Doing so grants 2,000 Smithing experience. Players without the required level can bring the components to Oziach, who will assist in creating the shield for a payment of 1,250,000 coins.

After Dragon Slayer II is complete, a Skeletal visage can be fused with the anti-dragon shield in a similar fashion, creating a Dragonfire ward.

Both of these shields inherit the anti-dragon shield's properties in addition to their own unique traits.

Trivia

Originally, multiple shields could only be sourced from Duke Horacio by use of the drop trick.

-The shield's defensive bonuses are roughly akin to that of the [[iron sq shield]], and without any penalties to ranged and magic bonuses. In addition to this, the anti-dragon shield prevents a great amount of damage from [[dragonfire]] from harming the player. When used in combination with an [[antifire potion]], the wearer does not take any damage from dragonfire until the potion runs out (except for [[Elvarg]]'s dragonfire and 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. This can still be done after the quest, if there are no shields in your bank or [[inventory]]. Duke Horacio does not notice noted anti-dragon shields, so a player may safely carry any shields previously obtained as a note and then obtain more by repeatedly dropping shields and speaking to Duke Horacio.
-Players can purchase this shield from [[Oziach]] after completing Dragon Slayer. You can also just simply buy one from the [[Grand Exchange]]. You do not need to have completed [[Dragon Slayer]] to equip the shield.
-With level 90 [[Smithing]] and a [[Draconic visage]], players can upgrade the shield into the [[Dragonfire shield]]. Players who do not have the required Smithing level to make the shield can go to [[Oziach]] in [[Edgeville]], who will smith the shield for any player at a cost of 1,250,000 [[coins]].
