The Marmaros kiteshield (Tier 3) is an item that can only be obtained and used while Dungeoneering. It requires level 20 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 Marmaros bars with a hammer on an anvil, requiring level 26 Smithing and granting 93 Smithing experience.

The stab defence of a marmaros kiteshield is 2 lower than a mithril kiteshield. Compared to an adamant kiteshield, it has 3 lower slash, 6 lower crush and 5 lower 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 Marmaros spear and Marmaros maul, and these weapons can not be wielded with a shield. Also, players with exactly 3 marmaros bars to use for gaining Smithing experience will generally prefer to produce Marmaros platelegs instead, as they give more experience per bar than the kiteshield.
