Bob is a non-player character who owns Bob's Brilliant Axes in Lumbridge. He sells axes, including battleaxes, hatchets, and a bronze pickaxe. He is also able to repair Barrows equipment at the normal price. In addition, Bob can recharge the frozen key, torva armour, virtus armour, pernix armour, and the zaryte bow. The fliers supporting his business can be seen frequently around the world of Gielinor. Bob also gives out rewards for the easy Lumbridge and Draynor Tasks.

Repairs

Bob can repair degradable armours such as Barrows equipment and Ancient armour for the player at a price. The equipment does not need to be fully degraded in order to have it repaired. The cost of any repair is proportional to how degraded the item is. Alternatively, players can repair the armours at a cheaper price themselves at an armour stand in any player-owned house.

Barrows equipment

The cost for barrows equipment depends on the equipment slot that the item is worn in. When fully degraded, Bob's repair cost is as follows:

Equipment slot	Cost to repair
Helm	60,000
Body	90,000
Legs	80,000
Weapon	100,000
Total	330,000

Ancient armour

The cost for ancient armour depends on the equipment slot that the item is worn in. When fully degraded, Bob's repair cost is as follows:

Armour type	Cost to repair
Torva full helm / Virtus mask / Pernix cowl	500,000
Torva platebody / Virtus robe top / Pernix body	2,000,000
Torva platelegs / Virtus robe legs / Pernix chaps	1,000,000
Torva gloves / Virtus gloves / Pernix gloves	100,000
Torva boots / Virtus boots / Pernix boots	100,000
Total	3,700,000

Weapons

Weapon type	Cost to Repair
Zaryte Bow	2,000,000

Frozen Key

The cost of Bob repairing the frozen key is dependent on Smithing level, working in exactly the same way as for the Armour stand.

Item	Cost to Repair
	Level 1 Smithing	Level 99 Smithing
File:Frozen key (GWD).png Frozen key	49,200	10,000

Quest involvement

Bob is also featured briefly in the quest Death to the Dorgeshuun, which shows him to be xenophobic towards the Dorgeshuun. Believing Zanik to be a violent Goblin, he screams at the player and Zanik to leave his store.

He is one of the people in Lumbridge that can be approached about the disturbance to the castle basement wall in the quest The Lost Tribe.

Stock

The updated battleaxes and hatchets.

Trivia

• Despite his hatred and fear towards the Dorgeshuun as seen during Death to the Dorgeshuun, Bob has sold a bronze hatchet to Gamdin during his visit to Lumbridge.
