The Kratonite kiteshield (Tier 4) is an item that can only be obtained and used while Dungeoneering. It requires level 30 Defence to wear. It may be picked up from the table at the beginning of a dungeon, obtained as a monster drop, or produced using the Smithing skill.

It can be produced by using 3 Kratonite bars with a hammer on an anvil, requiring level 36 Smithing and granting 120 Smithing experience.

Compared to an adamant kiteshield, a kratonite kiteshield has 5 lower stab, 7 higher slash, 2 higher crush and 4 higher ranged defence. Like all other equipment in Daemonheim, it has 0 summoning defence but this is not important as no creature in Daemonheim uses Summoning.

This item is less commonly produced by smithing than other pieces of equipment are, as many melee fighters will prefer to use two-handed weapons such as the Kratonite spear and Kratonite maul, and these weapons can not be wielded with a shield. Also, players with exactly 3 kratonite bars to use for gaining Smithing experience will generally prefer to produce Kratonite platelegs instead, as they give more experience per bar than the kiteshield.
