Dharok's platebody

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. It is currently tied with Guthan's platebody and Torag's platebody for being the strongest in the game.

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 Hitpoints decrease, up to double damage at 10% hitpoints. 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.

It can be bought either as individual item or as part of the "Barrows - dharok's set" item, in both case this can happen either on the Grand Exchange or via player-to-player trading.

These days, the platebody's market price is between 800k and 900k.
