The Dragon axe (also referred to as the dragon battleaxe) is the strongest weapon in RuneScape Classic. Wielding this axe requires level 60 Attack and completion of Hero's quest. It can be bought from Helemos inside the Hero's Guild for 200,000 coins or obtained by trading with another player.
It has the highest WeaponPower bonus of 75, but its WeaponAim of 69 is surpassed by the Dragon sword which has a WeaponAim bonus of 71. The dragon axe is a one-handed weapon, allowing players to equip a shield for an additional Armour bonus. This axe is made of Dragon metal and cannot be created by players using the Smithing skill. There are no monsters that drop this weapon, making Helemos at the Hero's Guild the only source of this item, although it is tradable between players.
The dragon axe has always been exclusive to Classic pay-to-play members. It was released simultaneously with the Dragon sword and Hero's Guild during the first release of RuneScape members content. Despite a distinct difference in being named an axe and not a Battle Axe, it cannot be used for Woodcutting. Many players would refer to the dragon axe as a dragon battle axe during Classic's most popular days. In RuneScape 2 it was renamed the Dragon battle axe.

Popularity[edit | edit source]
This weapon is one of the most popular among higher level players in RuneScape Classic. It is favoured by players due to its high WeaponPower and WeaponAim bonuses. It is effective for training, questing, and PKing. Since all weapons hit at the same speed, it is one of the two most effective weapons for players with the requirements to wield it, if they can afford the 200,000 GP price.
