OSRS Dragon Hunter Lance for Sale

The Dragon Hunter Lance is a one-handed melee weapon in Old School RuneScape, created by combining a hydra's claw with a Zamorakian hasta. It's hands down the best weapon when up against draconic monsters and bosses, making it the best tool in your arsenal for endgame Slayer and bossing.

Item Statistics and Mechanical Benefits

• Dragonbane Passive Effect: When up against draconic opponents, the lance grants +20% accuracy and a +20% damage multiplier; this includes chromatic and metallic dragons, wyverns, Brutal dragons, and the Great Olm. This effect stacks multiplicatively with Void Knight gear and the Slayer helmet (i).
• Fast Attack Speed: Attacks at a 4-tick rate (2.4 seconds), which is on par with scimitars, with great offensive stats to boot (+85 Stab attack and +70 Melee Strength).
• Offhand Versatility: Since it's a one-handed weapon, players can also equip offhand defenders (like the Avernic Defender) or anti-dragon shields (such as the Dragonfire Shield or Dragonfire Ward) at the same time.
• Progression & Bossing Utility: Is the best-in-slot melee option for farming Chambers of Xeric (Olm's melee hand), Vorkath, Rune Dragons, Mithril Dragons, and Alchemical Hydra.
• Requirements: Players will need 78 Attack to equip the lance, as well as having completed Barbarian Training (Firemaking, Fishing, and Smithing sections).

OSRS Dragon Hunter Lance FAQs

How is the Dragon Hunter Lance obtained?

To make the Dragon Hunter Lance, you'll need to use a hydra's claw on a Zamorakian hasta. The hydra's claw is an untradeable drop from the Alchemical Hydra (requires 95 Slayer). Once combined, it's permanent. So no take-backs.

Does the Dragon Hunter Lance have a Special Attack?

No. Unlike the Zamorakian hasta used to create it, the Dragon Hunter Lance has no special attack. Players typically pair it with special attack weapons like the Dragon Warhammer or Bandos Godsword.

What is the difference between the Dragon Hunter Lance and the Dragon Hunter Crossbow?

While both feature the +20% damage and accuracy dragonbane passive:

• Dragon Hunter Lance: Tailored for melee setups, great on targets weak to Stab damage or in fights where melee positioning is required (such as the Great Olm's melee hand in CoX).
• Dragon Hunter Crossbow: Tailored for ranged setups, great for players wanting to use enchanted dragon bolts (such as Ruby or Diamond bolts) from a safe distance.

Does the Dragon Hunter Lance require charges or decay?

No. The Dragon Hunter Lance is a non-degradable weapon that requires no charges, runes, or upkeep costs to maintain its stats and passive effect.

Which monsters are affected by the Dragon Hunter Lance passive?

The +20% damage and accuracy bonus applies to almost all draconic enemies, including Green, Blue, Red, Black, Bronze, Iron, Steel, Mithril, Adamant, and Rune Dragons, as well as Vorkath, Drake, Wyverns, KBD (King Black Dragon), and the Great Olm. Note: The passive does not apply to Elvarg or revenant dragons.
