Dharok's platebody is melee armour worn in the body slot that is part of Dharok the Wretched's set of barrows equipment. To wear Dharok's platebody, a player must have 70 Defence.

Torag's platebody, Dharok's platebody, and Guthan's platebody have identical stats, tied for second place for highest stab and ranged defence, third for slash defence and fourth for crush defence.

Being part of Dharok's barrows set, if Dharok's platebody is worn along with all of the other pieces of equipment in Dharok's barrows set the player receives a special effect. Attacks do more damage as the player's Life Points decrease, up to double damage at 10% Life Points. Although the degrading deters many poorer players, it takes around 5 hours to degrade from 100 to 75, and is relatively cheap to repair. The cheapest yet is to simply sell it to Grand Exchange and use that money to buy a new one. As with all Barrows equipment, this item cannot be made using the Smithing skill.

• Dharok's platebody is only tradeable when undamaged or fully broken.
• If you drop this item it will degrade to "0".

Recent Price History

As with many items that closely relate to combat, Dharok's Platebody experienced a sharp rise in price in the lead up to the PvP worlds update, with its daily average price rising above 235K. Roughly 3–4 days after the update had been released, once the hype had passed, the price sharply fell back to around 208k where it was for all of 2008 until January 2009, where the price rose sharply over the month at a stunningly fast rate to a market price of 339k. Now, the platebody's market price is .

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
