Verac's plateskirt is melee armour worn in the legwear slot that is part of Verac the Defiled's set of barrows equipment. To wear Verac's plateskirt, a player must have 70 Defence.

Being part of Verac's barrows set, if Verac's plateskirt is worn along with all of the other pieces of equipment in Verac's barrows set the player receives a Set Effect. Successful attacks have a chance of hitting through an opponent's defence and prayer, potentially causing heavy damage. This piece of armour cannot be made using the Smithing skill.

This set from the barrows brothers is the only one of which any/all pieces contain prayer bonuses. So if players do not mind mixing up between Barrows armour (just getting them for their high defence), then Verac's helm and plateskirt have the equal-highest (aside from 4 less Ranged Defence) defence of the 4 brothers' armour as well as the prayer bonus.

• Verac's plateskirt 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

• Verac's plateskirt is frequently used by Ranged tanks due to its Defence bonuses being only slightly lacking compared to other Barrows leg armours and the added Prayer bonus.
• Verac's plateskirt is the only melee barrows leg armour that doesn't receive a negative bonus to magic defence (all others get a -4).
