'''Tortoise shells''' are dropped by [[Tortoise]]s and [[Warped tortoise]]s. Both monsters can drop up to three shells at a time per kill, but they are quite a rare drop. They can be sold to [[Barlak]] in [[Dorgesh-Kaan]] for 600 coins but sell for much higher on the Grand Exchange. They are also used to make [[War tortoise pouch]]es for [[Summoning]] thus making them highly valuable—war tortoise familiars are common familiars for high-level players to use, due to their ability to store 18 items and the fact that summoning them only requires 67 summoning.

Players commonly kill [[Tortoise]]s at the [[Gnome Stronghold]] to make money, as an average full inventory trip can be over 200k. This can be frustrating and time-consuming, however, as even though up to three shells can be dropped at once, they are a rare drop.

Sometimes Tortoises and Warped tortoises can also drop [[Perfect shell]]s, a rarer counterpart to the Tortoise shells. They cannot be used to make a [[War tortoise pouch]], and like the regular version of the shells, a player may receive up to 3 of these shells. You can use them to get crafting experience in [[Dorgesh-Kaan]]. Perfect shells are untradeable.

*The tortoise shell was released a while before the release of Summoning and it had no use at that time.
*The drop rate of this item from [[Tortoise]]s has been lowered by an update.
