RuneScape Dragonwilds has an abundance of armor sets for players to gradually upgrade to as they get hold of higher-quality materials. However, one of the armor sets that stands above the rest is the Paladin Armor, which requires a bit of hassle to acquire and craft. It's the best armor set in the game currently for melee-focused players, and this guide will show you how you can get its blueprints and craft it.

Where to Find the Paladin Armor Set Blueprints in RuneScape Dragonwilds

Players can find the blueprints/recipes for the Paladin Armor set in the western Fractured Plains Dragonkin Vault in RuneScape Dragonwilds. After reaching the location, players will find a Garou encampment in front of the vault's entrance. After eliminating all the enemies, equip a Pickaxe and break the stone boulders hiding the actual vault's entrance.

Once the boulders are removed, players will be able to enter the vault and start searching for the Paladin Armor set recipes inside.

Right after going across the hallways with traps, players will arrive in a large room with several Vault Guardians. The second Dragonkin Statue is located at the back of the room.

Paladin's Helm

Dragonkin Statue #3

After going upstairs and entering the next section of the vault, keep following the hallways until you arrive in a chamber with broken floor and platforms. Use the platforms to reach towards the right of the room and find the third Dragonkin Statue.

Finding Wild Scout's Shortbow Recipe (Optional)

Fractured Plains Vault Dragonkin Statue 4 RuneScape Dragonwilds

There's a fourth Dragonkin Statue that players can find in this vault. In the final/boss room, players will need to eliminate the Vault Archon and Sentinel bosses. Once both of them are taken care of, there's a Dragonkin Statue to the right of the room.
