The '''Anti-Dragon Shield''' is a [[Dragonwilds:Power level]] 3 [[Dragonwilds:Masterwork]] Shield, used to craft the [[Dragonwilds:Dragonblight Shield]], that can be crafted at a [[Dragonwilds:Smithing Anvil]] after obtaining the recipe from the [[Dragonwilds:Whispering Swamp]] [[Dragonwilds:Dragonkin Vault|Vault]]. It is also one of the rewards for completing the [[Dragonwilds:Dragon Slayer]] quest.

With the 0.10 update (the Fellhollow Expansion), it can also be used to craft a [[Dragonwilds:Dragoncurse Shield|new shield with Imaru's visage]].

{{journal entry|
It is uncertain who first crafted the Anti-dragonfire shield. The dwarves claim the honour, as do several human blacksmiths. The goblins tried to take the credit, but their smithing techniques were not nearly refined enough to be believed. The aviansie might have been capable of such a feat, but if they did craft the shield, they never said.

The aviansie that did visit [[Dragonwilds:Ashenfall]] only stayed in [[Dragonwilds:Brynmoor]] for a short time. They disappeared deeper into the continent, never to be heard from again.

The Anti-dragonfire shield is a formidable defence, surpassing the strength of iron, and capable of withstanding a dragon's lethal breath. Its previous owner, hopeful it could be a weapon against [[Dragonwilds:Velgar]], was proven wrong.

Only the most powerful individuals can hope to wield such an object. Yet, even so, it is said that the shield can be improved by combining it with the essence of a dragon, gaining it some of the fury of the legendary beast.

==Trivia==
* Even though the game's lore journal states it "surpasses the strength of iron", it only has a rating of 39 block. This is identical to a [[Dragonwilds:Bronze Shield]], whereas an [[Dragonwilds:Iron Shield]] has 46 block.
* Since it's release, the shield is the only item, aside from quest items and ammunitions, that does not drop into the [[Dragonwilds:Gravestone]] when a player dies, it instead stays in the inventory.
* The shield's appearance is a mix of ''{{OSL|Old School RuneScape}}'' and its own design. It keeps the same colour and sword-shaped symbol in the front with the three dragon claws, which is consistent with the ''{{RSL|RuneScape}}'' version. The main difference lies in the shape of the shield, while ''Old School RuneScape’s'' version features a more squared design, ''RuneScape’s'' version is an elongated hexagonal or heater-shaped shield, giving it a more vertical look.
