The Dragon full helm is a members-only item and a part of the dragon plate armour set (lg) and dragon plate armour set (sk). To wear a dragon full helm, you must have at least 60 Defence.

There are two ways to obtain a dragon full helm besides through trading:

• Obtain one as a very rare drop from a mithril dragon in the Ancient Cavern.
• Receive one from a barbarian spirit after lighting a pyre ship with Chewed bones. Though this method has a much greater chance of obtaining a helmet compared to slaying Mithril dragons, Chewed bones themselves can only be obtained from Mithril dragons as a rare drop.

The dragon full helm is the most expensive piece of dragon armour. Many players thought the helm would fall in price a while after its release, but the dragon full helm, being a very rare drop from mithril dragons, showed no significant signs of a price drop until the release of PvP worlds. Then, as a result of many dragon full helms coming into the game from PvP worlds, the price dropped significantly, from over 50m in September 2008 to under 10m by May 2009. Then, on the 16th of June, 2009, dragon full helms were removed from the PvP world drop tables.

Before the release of the dragon full helm, many players thought that the full helm would never be made, since players had been requesting it in the official forums for such a long time, and often these kinds of requests would result in items such as the spinning plate (dragon platebody) and the toy kite (dragon kiteshield).

A dragon full helm could be combined with a dragon full helm ornament kit (or) to make a gold-trimmed dragon full helm (or), with a dragon full helm ornament kit (sp) to make a spiky dragon full helm (sp), or with a dragonbone upgrade kit to make a dragonbone full helm. None of these cosmetic enhancements change the stats in any way.

Trivia

• Shortly after the release of PvP worlds, many players believed that dragon full helms were a drop from other players. Initially, a Jagex moderator denied this, however another Jagex moderator later confirmed that dragon full helms were indeed dropped on PvP worlds. On 16 June, 2009, the full helm was removed from the PvP drop table.
• When the dragon full helm first came out, its stats beat the Third-age full helmet's original stats by about 2 in each section. Jagex then updated the 3rd age full helmet, which is now slightly stronger than the dragon full helm.
• In the 2007 Christmas event, players could make snowmen that wore dragon full helmets.
• Unlike the dragon helm, this cannot be enchanted to hold summoning scrolls.
• It is more expensive than its platebody counterpart, whereas most armour sets have a more expensive platebody than a full helm. This is likely due to its rarity in comparison to the platebody, as Tormented demons are killed much more frequently than Mithril dragons.
• When receiving this as a drop from a Mithril Dragon, it will now appear on a player's adventurer's log when dropped (6 September 2011).
• When receiving this after constructing a pyre ship, a message appears on a player's adventurer's log, "While laying barbarian spirits to rest, I was given a dragon full helm."
• After the release of the Combat beta, the price of the Dragon full helm started to plummet on the Grand Exchange, as the Bandos helmet is much cheaper and has better stats than the dragon full helm.
