About Lava scale

"A scale from the hide of a lava dragon."

Lava scales are dropped by lava dragons in the deep Wilderness and by brutal black dragons. Ground with a pestle and mortar, each scale yields 3-6 lava scale shards, increased to 4-9 with the Wilderness Hard Diary completed. The shards are used to brew extended antifire and extended super antifire potions, making lava scales a key Herblore-supply item. The yield scales with Herblore level.

Market Strategy

  • Base yield is 3-6 shards per scale
  • Hard Wilderness Diary boosts yield to 4-9 shards
  • Higher Herblore favours the upper end of the yield range
  • Lava dragons are a guaranteed source but deep-Wilderness PKers are common
  • Bring minimal risk gear and bank or grind on-site
  • Compare whole scale price vs average shards times shard price
  • Usually profitable to grind yourself with the diary done

Trading Tips
