A high defense is just as important as any other negotiating point in any trade deal. ..
Shields can be a great way to boost your defense. ..
Some bosses are too tough to tank without some serious defense. You’ll want to take the best shield to protect yourself, but other times a shield is a hard requirement to protect you from threats such as dragonfire.
These shields are made from durable, lightweight materials that can protect you from harm in a fight.
15. God Armour kiteshield
There are a few great F2P shields on the market, but the best one is undoubtedly the Guardian Shield. It’s a great option for those who want to stay safe online, and it offers a lot of protection against harmful radiation.
The God Armour Kiteshields are a type of item that requires level 40 Defense to wield. They come in a few varieties, such as the Guthix kiteshield.
The new Rune kites come with the same stats as regular kites, but they also have a prayer bonus and a stylish trim. ..
The shield offers decent melee and ranged defenses all around, but it has a negative magic defense and attack bonus. So avoid using it if you’ll be attacking or defending magic. ..
How to get F2P players: Players will need to buy these off another player or the Grand Exchange. Members can receive them as a drop from Hard Clues.
14. Dragon kiteshield
The Dragon Kite is an upgrade to the Dragon Square shield. It is better in every way, and can protect you from most attacks.
The kite is red with a dragon painted on the front. It’s perfect for adding some cool style to your fashion scene. ..

The shield offers some decent melee and range defenses, but its magic bonuses are negative because it’s primarily a melee shield.
To create this shield, you will need a dragon metal slice, dragon metal shard, and dragon square shield. To forge this shield, you will need a minimum of 75 Smithing.
13. Granite Shield
The Granite shield is one of the heaviest shields on the market, and requires a level 50 Defense and Strength to equip. ..
In-game, there are a few shields that have a strength requirement. One of these is the shield on the bottom of the stairs in the game’s beginning.
The downside to the buckler is that it doesn’t offer the same melee defense as other options in its tier. ..
The high defense bonus of this shield is its only real reason it’s ever used in this tier of shields. Many ironmen grind this out too, because it’s an item required for an Elite clue.
Ice Trolls and Troll generals are two of the most sought-after drops from monsters in the game. They can be found in Ice Caverns and in the Troll Stronghold.
12. 3rd age kiteshield
I really like the overall design of this shield. It’s just beautiful designed.
The 3rd age kite has stats similar to a Dragon Kite, but it’s much rarer. The stats make it a decent tank shield for sure, but it’s seldom used outside of fashionscape because there are a few better shields in the same tier.
This item is worth a good amount of gp and it looks great, so it deserves a mention in this ranking.
Shields are a popular choice for players who want to protect themselves from attacks, but they can be expensive to purchase and maintain. The big bank balance is necessary because shields have a cost of around thirty million ISK. ..
How to get either insanely lucky on a hard, elite clue, or buy this from the Grand Exchange.
11. God Books
God books are versatile and extremely useful items that can be used for a variety of purposes. They can be used to learn about God, His ways, and how to live a good life.

The shield offers decent defense against melee and magic, making it a great all around shield to check out.
The Dragon Hunter Crossbow is a great weapon to use at Vorkath because of its great stats and effects. ..
Shield of this caliber requires a high defense level and range to even think about putting it on.
There are several ways to obtain the Skeletal Visage. The most common way is to slay Vorkath and receive a 1/5th drop rate. Another way is to purchase it from Oziach for 1.25 million coins. ..
9. Malediction Ward
The Malediction Ward offers the best magic attack bonus in the game at +12.
This is an extra +2 above the Book of Darkness.
The shield is ideal for mages, but poorly equipped for melee, with -8 in all melee attack stats and a -12 range attack bonus. ..
The build features strong melee defense stats, helping you tank melee quite nicely.
To get: Slay all three of the demi-bosses in the Wilderness for a chance at Malediction Shards 1, 2, and 3. Once you receive these, take them to the Volcanic Forge deep in the wilderness and smith them into a Malediction ward. This action has no stat requirement.
8. Mage’s Book
The Mage’s Book has one of the best magic attack bonuses (+15) in the game – with a very nice additional +15 in magic defense to boot!
The shield is not as strong as some other shields, but it does have some bonuses that make it more effective.
The magic attack bonus is enough to make grabbing one a good idea. ..
The community-based feature of this gun is very popular, as it doesn’t require a higher level of defense to use.
The best way to get this book is to either grind the Mage Training Arena or buy it from the Grand Exchange.
7. Twisted Buckler
The Twisted buckler provides the best range attack bonus in OSRS, making it a great choice for those looking to take on enemies at long ranges.

The shield is not very effective in melee combat. ..

6. Ancient Wyvern Shield
The Ancient Wyvern Shield is a magic attack bonus shield that is tied with the Mage’s book for the second best magic attack bonus.
This item offers defence against dragon fire from dragons and wyverns, as well as protection from melee attacks.
The new features on this product make it a few notches higher in the rankings. ..
The shield has both melee and ranged bonuses, but should not be used as an offhand for either style. ..
First, you’ll need to get lucky and obtain a Wyvern Visage from the Wyverns on Fossil Island. This can be as rare as 1/12k. Then you’ll need to take the visage along with an elemental shield to The House on the Hill on Fossil Island. You’ll need to use the components on the strange machine there – this requires 66 Smithing and Magic.
After all that work, you’ll have an uncharged shield! So to charge it you need to use numulites or fossils on it. Once you do all this, you’ll have a fully charged Ancient Wyvern Shield. ..
5. Spectral Spirit Shield
The Spectral Spirit Shield is a powerful shield that requires a high defence and prayer levels to wield. It is quite a few requirements to get it.
The shield has the highest magic defence in Old School RuneScape at 30, as well as great defences for melee and range – making it an all-round great defence off-hand. ..
The shield provides no bonuses to attack. ..
The passive special effect of a potion is that it has a passive effect that is different depending on the person drinking it. For example, if you drink a potion that increases your strength, then your strength will increase by 1 point for every 3 points of damage you take. If you drink a potion that decreases your intelligence, then your intelligence will decrease by 3 points for every 3 points of damage you take.
In PvP, the shield reduces an enemy’s prayer, draining attacks by 50%. As a result, this shield is very popular for players who want to minimize their opponent’s prayer. ..
You can only get a 1/1365 chance at a Spectral Sigil drop from Corporeal bests. To get one, you’ll need to attach the Sigil to a Blessed Spirit Shield. This requires 90 prayer and 85 smithing. Alternatively, you can take it to the monastery and pay a fee of 1.5m to Abbot Langley.
4. Crystal Shield
This shield has some decent melee defence stats, which can help you survive in close combat.
The shield boasts the highest range defence of any shield in Old School RuneScape at a massive +80. ..
The downside to this weapon is that it has a negative range and magic attack bonus.
Many players use Dragonfire Shield as a budget option, since it is easy to obtain and relatively affordable.
The downside to this crystal battery is that it slowly degrades over time, and will need to be recharged with Crystal Shards.
To use this shield, you’ll need a minimum of 50 Agility and 70 defence.
To get the shield, complete the “Roving Elves” quest and ask for it as a reward. You can also exchange crystal weapon seeds for it. ..
3. Arcane Spirit Shield
The Arcane Spirit Shield is a powerful magic defence item that has almost the same stats as its spectral brother – except for a massive +20 magic attack bonus and a +3 magic defence.
The new armor set has the same stat requirements as the old armor set. ..
Being such a well-balanced shield, it can be used for any combat style. But I think you definitely want to focus on magic with this bad boy!
The best magic attack shield in the game is the one with the +5 bonus.
The new Mercedes-Benz S 450 is definitely worth the price of 142 million euros.

A list without the Dragonfire Shield would be incomplete and not in the spirit of OSRS.
This shield is aesthetically beautiful and easily recognizable as one of the better shields worth wielding.
The DFS requires 75 defence to wear, and offers crazy high melee defence stats in the 70s across the board. This makes it a great choice for players who want to focus on melee combat. ..
The +72 range bonus and even a slight magic defence bonus make it an excellent choice for ranged combat. ..
But on the downside, it doesn’t have any positive attack bonuses, and actually does have a negative magic and range bonus. So be wary of using it for those styles. ..
The shield can be charged to fire a massive fire ball towards its target. This can hit for some pretty solid damage. ..
To get the Draconic Visage, you’ll need to find a dragon with a Draconic Visage and take it with an anti-dragonfire shield. You can make the DFS at an anvil with Smithing, or alternatively, Oziach can make this for you for a fee.
1. Elysian Spirit Shield
The Elysian Spirit Shield is the most impressive of the three Spirit Shields. ..
This is an impressive piece of equipment, worth more than 1 billion coins.
The Elysian offers the best defensive stats in the game, except for magic defence.
The Ely passive effect can help you through some of the game’s hardest content, like the Inferno.
The effect of this item is that it reduces damage taken by the player over time.
