Lava scales are always dropped by lava dragons at the Lava Dragon Isle located in the Wilderness. They are also dropped uncommonly by brutal black dragons.
Lava scales themselves have no use, but when ground with a pestle and mortar, players will obtain 3-6 lava scale shards, or 6-9 with the completion of the Hard Wilderness Diary. Lava scale shards are an ingredient for extended antifire and extended super antifires.
