Upgrades and what a boss drop builds

A lot of the best gear in the game is not dropped - it is built out of two or three things that are. This page is the map of those recipes.

Examine anything to see its recipe

The one thing worth learning: examine a component and the game prints the recipe it belongs to and what you are still missing, counted against your own inventory and bank. Every ingredient on this page works that way, so you never have to remember a chain - hold a piece of it and ask.

The godsword line

| Make | Out of | Where | |---|---|---| | Godsword blade | shard 1 + shard 2 + shard 3 | at an anvil | | Ancient godsword | Ancient hilt + a Godsword blade | anywhere |

The three shards come off every God Wars minion, and the Ancient hilt is one of Nex's uniques. Before this existed the hilt was a bank trophy.

The four Desert Treasure rings

Two steps each, and the second is at a furnace:

1. a vestige + the matching imbued ring + 500 blood runes makes the icon
2. the icon + 3 chromium ingots makes the ring

The four vestiges come from Vardorvis, the Leviathan, the Whisperer and Duke Sucellus, and the chromium ingot is shared between all four. The Forgotten Four is where they live.

The four ancient sceptres

A [Blood](/wiki/item/blood-quartz), Ice, [Smoke](/wiki/item/smoke-quartz) or [Shadow quartz](/wiki/item/shadow-quartz) on a plain [Ancient sceptre](/wiki/item/ancient-sceptre). Same four bosses. The plain sceptre is 8,000,000 coins at the Armoury, because it drops nowhere.

Raid upgrades

| Make | Out of | |---|---| | Kodai wand | Kodai insignia (Chambers of Xeric) + a Master wand | | Armadylean plate | a Masori piece, beaten out at an anvil | | Fortified Masori | the plain piece + Armadylean plates | | Elidinis' ward (f) | Elidinis' ward + a Nihil horn |

The Master wand is 3,000,000 coins at the Armoury for the same reason the Ancient sceptre is: nothing in the game drops one.

Guardian boots

A Black tourmaline core from the Grotesque Guardians on a pair of Bandos boots.

The visage line

Three shields, one recipe each, and no requirement of any kind - no Smithing level, no quest. The visage is the requirement, because it is the rarest thing on the table it falls from and the base shield costs almost nothing.

| Visage | On | Makes | |---|---|---| | Draconic visage | an anti-dragon shield | Dragonfire shield | | Skeletal visage | an anti-dragon shield | Dragonfire ward | | Wyvern visage | an elemental or anti-dragon shield | Ancient wyvern shield |

Only the first of the three can be finished today. The Draconic visage falls from the black, blue, red, iron, mithril, steel and lava dragons, the King Black Dragon and the Skeletal Wyvern; the Skeletal and Wyvern visages drop from nothing yet, so the ward and the wyvern shield are recipes waiting on a source. Neither visage has a page here for the same reason.

Slayer gear

Five chains you can walk end to end, all off Blood Krystilia's counter and the fights she sends you to: the Salve amulet (ei) at 300 points, the Ring of suffering, the Amulet of blood fury, the Necklace of rupture and fishing explosives. The mirror shield is free at her counter and is the whole fight against the Basilisk Knights, whose Basilisk jaw builds the Neitiznot faceguard.

Charged weapons

Zulrah's lane is its own set of chains: the tridents, both toxic staffs, the serpentine helm and the toxic blowpipe, which is chiselled from a tanzanite fang and then charged with scales and darts. The abyssal tentacle is a kraken tentacle on a whip, and it lasts 10,000 hits and then is gone for good. Charges are a pool the item carries; check one by examining it.

The infernal axe and infernal pickaxe are a Cerberus smouldering stone on a dragon axe or pickaxe: 5,000 charges, and one gather in three burns the output for half the Firemaking or Smithing experience.
