Death guard (tier 90)

Death guard (tier 90) is a tier 90 members main-hand weapon for Necromancy, with a high alchemy value of 75,000 coins. No shop sells Death guard (tier 90) and no monster drops it, so an Ironman makes it: it takes 85 smithing and gives 350 smithing XP, using Death guard (tier 80), 5 × Greater ensouled bar, 50 × Spirit rune, 50 × Bone rune, 50 × Flesh rune and 50 × Miasma rune.

One recipe uses Death guard (tier 90): Augmented Death guard (tier 90). It is worn in the main-hand weapon slot at tier 90 as necromancy gear; compare it with every other piece on the Main-hand weapons list. Death guard (tier 90) is members-only.
