The Dragon battleaxe is the second strongest battleaxe available, only behind the leaf-bladed battleaxe. It can only be wielded by members who have at least 60 Attack and who have completed the Heroes' Quest. It can be bought at Happy Heroes' H'emporium in the Heroes' Guild for 200,000 coins.
The dragon battleaxe has a special attack, Rampage, which decreases Attack, Defence, Ranged, and Magic by 10%, using all of a player's special attack energy, while increasing the player's Strength level by [10 + (stats drained / 4)]. With boosted stats, it is possible to achieve 120/99 Strength with this weapon's special attack.
This accounts for the popularity of this weapon; although few players use it in combat, many will use the special attack to boost their stats and then switch to a faster weapon and drink a stat restore potion. This weapon's special attack has gained popularity in the Pest Control minigame, as the player's special attack meter is refilled after the completion of the minigame. A useful way to employ the special attack is to use it and then drink two doses of attack or super attack potion; one to restore the lost attack levels and the second to return the player's attack level to a boosted state.
As with all Dragon weapons, players cannot obtain this item through the Smithing skill.
