Dragon mace

“A spiky mace.”

The dragon mace is a fast crush weapon that needs 60 Attack and completion of the Heroes' Quest to wield. It swings every 2.4 seconds (4 ticks) and carries a Shatter special attack that boosts accuracy and damage. It's an early crush option for players without a zombie axe or pricier gear, bought for around 50,000 coins from the Heroes' Guild shop. Check the live price above before buying.

The dragon mace's defining bonuses are +60 crush attack and +55 strength, paired with a fast 2.4-second (4-tick) swing and a small +5 Prayer bonus.

How to get the dragon mace

The dragon mace is bought, not dropped. You can purchase it for 50,000 coins at the Happy Heroes' H'emporium shop inside the Heroes' Guild, or buy it from other players on the Grand Exchange.

  • Shop: Happy Heroes' H'emporium, Heroes' Guild.
  • Clue rewards: it can also drop from elite and master clue caskets.
  • To wield: 60 Attack and completion of the Heroes' Quest.

Like most dragon equipment, the dragon mace cannot be made with the Smithing skill.

Special attack: Shatter

The dragon mace's special attack is called Shatter. It consumes 25% of your special attack energy and increases your accuracy by 25% and damage by 50%, while rolling against the target's crush defence. The accuracy and damage boost make it a cheap spec weapon for early PvP and low-level bossing.
