A detailed image of Verac's brassard

Verac's brassard is melee armour, worn in the body slot, that is part of Verac the Defiled's set of barrows equipment. It requires 70 Defence to wear.

As with all Barrows equipment, if Verac's brassard is worn along with his helm, plateskirt, and flail, the set effect will activate. Successful attacks have a chance of ignoring the opponent's Defence, armour, and any active protection prayers, potentially causing heavy damage.

Verac's brassard has lower defensive bonuses than Dharok's, Guthan's, and Torag's platebodies; its melee and Ranged defence bonuses are roughly comparable to those of a dragon chainbody. However, its penalties are significantly lower than other items of its class. It has smaller penalties for Magic and Ranged attack than other platebodies, and it has no Magic defence penalty whatsoever. Additionally, the brassard has a Prayer bonus of +5. These characteristics may make Verac's brassard a good choice when using Magic or Ranged, as it provides comparatively high defence bonuses for these styles, yet offers little offensive penalty.

• Verac's brassard is only tradeable when either 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
