The broken Guthan's Warspear in detail.

Guthan's warspear is a melee weapon that is part of Guthan The Infested's set of barrows equipment. Guthan's warspear is a two handed weapon, and requires 70 Attack to wield. This weapon has the 3rd highest melee defence stats out of all the weapons (only after the Zamorakian spear and the Maple blackjack (d) for crush defence). Like the other spears, this spear gives controlled experience for accurate, aggressive and controlled combat styles, and defence experience for the defensive attack style.

Being part of Guthan's barrows set, if Guthan's warspear is wielded along with all of the other pieces of equipment in Guthan's barrows set the player receives a special effect. Successful attacks have a chance of replenishing one Life point for each damage the player deals. This weapon cannot be made using the Smithing skill. Also, despite being a spear, it cannot be poisoned.

Many players believe this is one of the useful weapons in the game because its healing is ideal for any combat minigames and training, with minimum food. Despite Guthan's having more than average combat stats, it is mostly used by players to heal (and saves space that would have been used bringing food) and then they revert back to their regular melee armour. This method saves money and ultimately puts off having to repair the armour as regularly.

Guthan's warspear was often an item used for scamming; it was switched for a Leaf-bladed spear at the last second. However, leaf-bladed spears are no longer tradeable.

• Guthan's warspear is only tradeable when undamaged or fully broken.
• If you drop this item or place it on a table, it will degrade to "0".

Repair

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. Unlike the crystal shield and crystal bow, Barrows equipment does not suffer in performance as it degrades from fully repaired to broken. Fully repaired Barrows items start out with no numbers in their names, e.g. Karil's crossbow. It would become Karil's crossbow 100 the first time it's used in combat. Eventually it would degrade to Karil's crossbow 75, then 50, then 25 and finally 0 at which point the weapon would break and be unusable until repaired. Additionally, Barrows equipment may only be traded if fully repaired or fully broken.

When dropped or lost on death (even when placed under a gravestone), 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. Alternatively, players can repair the pieces themselves using an armour stand in any player-owned house. The equipment can be repaired at any stage of degrade, and the cost will be adjusted according to how much it has degraded. The repair costs below are as if the equipment has fully degraded.

The following NPCs can repair the armour:

• Bob - the axe seller in Lumbridge
• Tindel Marchant - the weapon and armour repairman at Port Khazard
• Dunstan - the smith in Burthorpe
• Squire - in the workshop area of the Void Knights' Outpost
