Karil's skirt in detail.

Karil's skirt is Ranged armour worn in the legwear slot that is part of Karil the Tainted's set of barrows equipment. To wear Karil's skirt, a player must have 70 Defence and 70 Ranged.

Karil's skirt gives the third highest magic defence for the legs (after Armadyl chainskirt and Pernix chaps) but gives 3 less ranged attack bonus, so is more often seen worn when fighting monsters with magical or magic-based melee attacks, than when ranging.

Being part of Karil's barrows set, if Karil's skirt is worn along with all of the other pieces of equipment in Karil's barrows set the player receives a special effect. On successful attacks with Karil's crossbow against a player, there is a chance that it may temporarily lower that player's Agility level. This piece of armour cannot be made using the Crafting skill.

• Karil's skirt is only tradeable when undamaged or fully broken.
• If you drop this item 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

Trivia

• In a hidden update on 17 March 2010, Jagex changed the name of this item from "Karil's leatherskirt" to "Karil's skirt".
• There is a glitch that occurs when wearing Karil's skirt. The legs of the player will appear transparent with blocky, different-coloured patches. It can also appear like the firecape fire. The glitch also affects npcs, like the guards in Varrock. This has not yet been fixed.

The above glitch appears to manifest itself in different ways. Some players see white sparks falling down to the floor. But the glitch appears to only be seen by some players, even when looking at the same skirt.

• Although it is a skirt, it seems to have striped leggings.
