Zulrah's scales are items used to charge serpentine helms, toxic blowpipes, toxic staves of the dead, and tridents of the swamp. It can also be used to create anti-venom at 87 Herblore by using them on an Antidote++, with 5 scales used per dose.

About and uses

They are primarily obtained as a drop from Zulrah. They can also be obtained by dissecting sacred eels with a knife, which requires level 72 in Cooking and level 87 in Fishing. A player's Cooking level affects how many scales are received when they are dissected.

In addition, players can receive 20,000 scales from dismantling the following items:

On average, each Zulrah kill will provide 220 scales, or 337 if including scales gained by dismantling the aforementioned drops.
