Like any good RPG, Runescape also comes equipped with a bunch of weapons and armor to craft (and choose from). These items have varying rarities and effects, which makes a few of them quite useful to have in hand.
One of these items is the Anti-Dragon Shield – a powerful Masterwork Shield that lets you both block and resist Dragon Breath – regardless of its elemental affinity. More on this shield, and how to craft it in Runescape Dragonwilds below.

This particular shield requires players to first grab the blueprint, and then craft it.
How to get the blueprint for the anti dragon shield in Runescape Dragonwilds
- Begin by accepting the ‘Dragon Slayer’ main story quest.
- Progress through the quest to end up in the Whispering Swamp zone – which contains the Dragonkin Vault.
- From the north-east section of the swamp, move forward until you find a glowing blue door.
- Unlock the door and walk through the dungeon until you find its hidden section.
- There will be traps and a total of 3 Vault Guardians waiting to ambush you here, so be careful. Try luring the Vault Guardians into the traps to make things a bit easier.
- With all enemies (and traps) dealt with, make your way to the statue with a glowing orb.
- Aim to interact with the orb and grab the Anti-Dragon Shield recipe.
