Lava scales are always dropped by lava dragons at the Lava Dragon Isle located in the Wilderness. They are also dropped uncommonly by brutal black dragons. The shards are an ingredient for extended antifire and extended super antifire potions.

Lava scales themselves have no use, but when ground with a pestle and mortar, players can obtain between 3-6 lava scale shards. This amount will be increased by 50% rounded down with completion of the hard Wilderness Diary, meaning that each scale will yield either 4, 6, 7, or 9 shards when ground. The amount received is random, with high Herblore level yielding a higher average. With 99 Herblore, there is a 98% chance of receiving the maximum amount of shards.

If asking Wesley to grind them, he can only crush one scale to three shards, warning the player of this before proceeding.

Note: If attempting to obtain lava scale shards, Infernal eel fishing is a viable option for players wishing to avoid the Wilderness.
