Those players who have completed the Dragon Slayer quest will already be able to get anti-dragonbreath shields from the Duke of Lumbridge. Oziach the Master Smith has recently found a way for members to upgrade this shield using a draconic visage - a powerful artefact from a forgotten age that is only occasionally dropped by powerful dragons. Combining the draconic visage with the anti-dragonbreath shield will result in a new type of shield: the dragonfire shield.

The dragonfire shield's power relies on storing dragonfire. The shield absorbs dragonfire just like the anti-dragonbreath shield, but every time it does so its stats become a little more powerful. The shield is also effective against the breath of skeletal wyverns (although it won't store any of it). The stored dragonfire can also be released by operating the shield, slightly reducing the shield's stats but firing a blast of dragonfire at an opponent!

On the topic of dragons, we've also updated Crandor to make it look more like the woeful place it became after Elvarg arrived. You'll also notice that the dungeon connecting Crandor to Karamja has been improved, and Elvarg's lair looks much more like a place a dragon might choose to live.

Oh dear..this better be good, i really dislike the "string all" option they added to fletching.

The stats on the Dragonfire shield~ (Fully charged) are better than every other shield. =/

It'll be interesting to see what sort of damage it can do. And if it on a different "timer" to normal weapon damage.
ie. You whip, shield, whip, shield etc. If so, that could amount to A LOT of damage in a short space of time...

Jagex are starting to make things very powerful. I think this could be leading up to something. Stronger monsters, higher combat with the creation of a new skill? Who knows.

Naw, it's some sort of an attempt to keep the higher level'd members happy. They've been making things overpowered and stronger for years now.


However, it would be nice to think that jagex are actually thinking about a little more than a few months paychecks down the track....

I love this update i am currently trying to get one and i WILL

im gonna no life steels for abit =p see if i can get a drgonik thing w.e there called

Sounds like a great shield but yet it seems like it'll take forever to even get one. (without buying visage)
