A Wolfbane is a member's only melee weapon. It has no level requirements, and its stats are similar to a mithril dagger. When wielded the dagger stops men and women in the town of Canifis from morphing into their more powerful Werewolf form. Since Wolfbane prevents the villagers from turning into werewolves, this method does NOT work for Slayer tasks.
The dagger is a reward for completing the Priest in Peril quest. If dropped or lost, the dagger can be reclaimed by talking to Drezel in the basement of the Paterdomus church. Multiple daggers can be obtained by using the Drop trick. The dagger has a +5 Prayer bonus, making it quite effective at extending prayer points. Only some expensive, rare weapons have better prayer bonuses.
This dagger is made of silver, so it is also effective against vampyres, vampyre juveniles, and vampyre juvinates.
In the quest The Branches of Darkmeyer Wolfbane can be used for an alternative method of gaining status in Darkmeyer.
This is used for easy Morytania tasks.

Trivia
- Wolfbane is a plant also known as monkshood and aconitum and is traditionally associated with werewolves in various ways.
- There is a Wolfbane dagger laying on a workbench in Doric's house. This may be a reference to the RuneScape novel, Return to Canifis.
- Wolfbane is the strongest one-handed silver weapon. The Ivandis flail is stronger but slower and can't be combined with a defender.
- If you have the dagger equipped, spells can be cast upon the werewolves without them transforming.
- There is a glitch when using an aura while wielding Wolfbane which causes the aura outline to not match the dagger. This also happens with other weapons.
- You cannot poison Wolfbane. A message will say "You cannot poison the holy dagger Wolfbane..."
