A detailed image of the Pernix cowl

The chat head of a player wearing the cowl

The Pernix cowl is part of the pernix armour set, obtainable by killing Nex. It requires 80 Defence, 80 Constitution and 80 Ranged to be worn. When worn, it increases a player's maximum life points by 66. This does not increase current life points or constitution level.

It lasts for a duration of 10 hours of combat before degrading completely, and then may be repaired by Bob in Lumbridge or at a Player-owned house armour stand. It should be noted that the cowl does not degrade in increments, and its stats stay the same until the 10 hours is up. It costs 500,000 coins to have the cowl repaired at Bob's Brilliant Axes, or 250,000 coins at an armour stand with 99 Smithing, this is possible by boosting your smithing using either a Dwarven stout or a Smithing cape.

Wearing this cowl or any other piece of ancient armour will make all factions in the God Wars Dungeon unaggressive.

Trivia

• This item, along with the other Torva, Pernix, and Virtus pieces, originally had a glitch which did not allow them to be traded even after being repaired or worn. This has since been fixed.
• Despite having the highest ranged bonus for any helmet-slot item for the Ranged skill, the Pernix cowl has one less Magic defence point compared to its lesser counterpart, the Armadyl helmet.
• Whenever Nex drops a piece of torva, pernix, or virtus armour, a server wide announcement is broadcast to all players currently logged into that particular world.
