3rd age kiteshield

“Fabulously ancient armour beaten from magical silver.”

The 3rd age kiteshield is part of the 3rd age melee set, requiring 65 Defence to wield. It gives strong all-round defence of +63 stab, +65 slash, +61 crush, and +63 ranged, offset by -3 Magic defence, a -10 Magic attack penalty, and a -4 ranged attack penalty. It's a possible reward from hard, elite, and master clue scrolls and can't be smithed. One of the more powerful shields in the game, it's rarely used since similarly powerful shields are cheaper or easier to get. See the live Grand Exchange price above.

Equipment bonuses

Its +63 stab and +63 ranged defence bonuses are equal, giving it a more square-shield-like defensive profile than its "kiteshield" name suggests.

How to get the 3rd age kiteshield

The 3rd age kiteshield is a possible reward from hard, elite, and master tier Treasure Trails clue scrolls. It is part of the 3rd age melee set and cannot be created through the Smithing skill.

It can be stored in the costume room's treasure chest, and picking one up is logged in the collection log.

Is the 3rd age kiteshield worth using?

Although it's one of the more powerful shields available in the game, the 3rd age kiteshield is rare to see used in combat, as there are several similarly powerful shields which are cheaper or significantly easier to obtain than a clue scroll reward.

Check the Boss Gear Finder to see how its stats stack up for a specific fight, and the live Grand Exchange price tracker above for its current value.
