How To Find The Anti-Dragon Shield Blueprint In RuneScape: Dragonwilds
If players are following the Dragon Slayer main QuestinRuneScape: Dragonwilds,they will be sent to theWhispering Swampzone, where a Dragonkin Vault lies hidden.
Following the road that leads to the northeastern side of the Swamp, players should find a blue glowing door that indicates the presence of a Vault. Enter the dungeon and traverse it until they find a secret section filled with traps and 3 Vault Guardians. Players will recognize the zone because there’s a three-pronged section with two dead ends and the only possible path leading to the backroom of the vault.
There are two more Vault guardians ahead, and players can lure them and kill them using the traps to make things easier. After that is done, and all enemies are cleared, they should approach the statue with the glowing orb in the background. Aim towards the orb to interact with it and learn theAnti-Dragon Shield Recipe.
If players are currently completing theDragon Slayer questthat requires exploring this Vault, don’t forget that the Quest target is on the other side of the Vault. Apack of dead goblinsand an agonizinggoblin NPCthat will reveal the next location they need to go to. Don’t forget to pick up the information before going out, or there’s a chance the NPC gets bugged and refuses to speak to the players if they return later.
How To Craft Anti-Dragon Shield In RuneScape: Dragonwilds
To craft the Anti-Dragon Shield, players will need togather lots of rare materials, including: 12xBlightwood, 4xWild Anima, 4xHard Leather, 6xOpal, 8xVault Shard, and 1xVault Core.
Vault Shards and Cores can be obtained atDragonkin Vaults, so players must have already collected a hefty sum of those. Meanwhile, for the Hard Leather, players will need to hunt Tier 3+ Animals (like Wolves) and Tan their skin in theTanner’s Kit.
Blightwood can be obtained by cutting down trees nearBloodblight Swamp,cut from the whitened roots that pop from the ground there. Be careful, though, and bring Fortifying Crunchies orKebabs for Poison Resistance, since the whole area is ridden with poisonous water and enemies.
Finally, Wild Anima can be processed and extracted fromAnima-Infused Bark, that players can extract from sparkly glowing trees all across Ashenfall. They simply need to put the Anima-Infused Bark in the Kiln, and start the process to extract this precious resource.
It is also important to mention that players will need theSmithing Anvil(which needs to be placed under a roof) to craft the Anti-Dragon Shield. This useful defensive item has39 Block, and offerspartial protection from Dragon Breath Attacks, which is quite a help in a land full of dragons.
