# Barrows equipment

(Redirected from Barrows armour)
A player wearing Ahrim the Blighted's equipment.

Barrows equipment refers to a number of sets of combat equipment found in the Barrows minigame. There are six sets of Barrows equipment: four for warriors, one for rangers, and one for mages. Each set has four pieces: a two-handed weapon (except for Ahrim's Staff, which after an update was changed to be a one-handed weapon like other staffs in an effort to buff the weapon), a helmet, a torso piece and legwear. When all four pieces for a particular brother are equipped, a special set effect is granted, which is different for each set. Additionally, the Amulet of the damned enhances the set effects while equipped. Barrows sets can't be made using the Smithing skill.

The Barrows gloves, which also resemble a piece of Barrows armour, are not obtained through the barrows minigame and instead can be purchased after full completion of the Recipe for Disaster quest.

Barrows equipment degrades as it is used. Equipment received from the Barrows minigame is fully repaired and can be used for 15 hours of combat until it degrades completely and requires repair before it can be used again. Barrows armour degrades even if the player is using protection prayers or not taking damage. Barrows equipment does not suffer in performance as it degrades from fully repaired to fully degraded. Fully repaired Barrows items start out with no numbers in their names. It will become item name 100 the first time it's used in combat. Eventually it will degrade to item name 75, then 50, then 25 and finally 0 at which point the armour will be unusable until repaired. Additionally, Barrows equipment may only be traded if fully repaired or fully degraded.

When dropped or lost on death, any piece of Barrows equipment will automatically degrade to 0. Players who attempt to drop Barrows equipment will receive a warning message about this.

There are two ways to repair Barrows armour. Players can talk to any of the NPCs listed below and they will repair the items for a price, or players could repair the pieces themselves using an armour stand in any player-owned house. The equipment can be repaired at any stage, and the cost will be adjusted according to how much it has degraded. The repair costs in the table are as if the equipment has fully degraded.

The following NPCs can repair the armour:

It costs less to repair Barrows equipment at an armour stand compared to paying an NPC. Stat boosts do affect the price of repair. The formula used to calculate the cost at a repair stand is:

${\displaystyle Cost_{AS}=Cost_{NPC}\times \left(1-{\frac {Smithing_{Level}}{200}}\right)}$

A player with a Smithing level of 60, for instance, would pay 70% of normal cost:

${\displaystyle 1-{\frac {60}{200}}={\frac {70}{100}}}$

Simply put, every 2 Smithing levels reduces the repair cost by 1% when compared to an NPC vendor. At level 99 this equals roughly 50% in savings.
