Oziach is a master smith with ties to the Champions' Guild. He lives just north-west of Edgeville and, during Dragon Slayer I, informs applicants to the Guild where the three map parts to Crandor can be found. Afterwards, he sells rune platebodies, green dragonhide bodies and anti-dragon shields from his shop.
Oziach appears to wear a bulkier version of the rune platebody with alternate colouring. Along with the Hero, he is the only other NPC wearing alternatively coloured Rune armour.
Players lucky enough to obtain a draconic visage, and who do not have a Smithing level of 90 or higher, can pay Oziach 1,250,000 coins to combine the draconic visage with an anti-dragon shield, making a dragonfire shield. Similarly, he can do the same with a skeletal visage, combining it with an anti-dragon shield for the same price to create a dragonfire ward.
Treasure Trails
- Oziach is the solution to the hard cryptic clue: The keeper of Melzars...Spare? Skeleton? Anar? Players will need to solve a puzzle box.

Trivia
- Players who suffer bad luck when attempting to obtain rare drops are often recommended by others to speak to Oziach.
- This trend originated in June 2007 with the release of the Draconic visage. As the exceptionally rare drop rate of the visage was not revealed at the time, many players assumed that some prerequisite was required, specifically speaking to Oziach.[1] Although speaking to Oziach with an anti-dragon shield does indeed have unique dialogue where he reveals the existence of the visage to the player, this is not required to receive the drop.
- Oziach was part of the 2021 Halloween event.
- Due to a bug, players were temporarily able to speak to Oziach to receive an ancient wyvern shield for free, even if they are in free-to-play. This was quickly patched, and ancient wyvern shields were made temporarily untradeable.
