Varrock armour 1

Varrock armour 1 is the members only reward given to the players upon completion of the easy Varrock Tasks by Rat Burgiss. When worn, it provides helpful bonuses to mining and smithing, as well a higher chance at receiving Skull sceptre part drops from monsters in the Stronghold of Security, and the Skull Sceptre has ten charges instead of five if assembled while the armour is worn. If lost, it can be re-acquired by speaking with Rat Burgiss. Its stats are the same as a Steel platebody, although it weighs 8.5 less.

Effects
Active only when worn:


 * Chance of smelting two bars at once when smelting ores up to and including steel in the Edgeville furnace. Message: The magic of the Varrock armour enables you to smelt 2 bars at the same time. If smelting iron ore with a ring of forging, only one charge will be used, but both bars will be successfully smelted. This allows rings of forging to last longer before melting. This will not give extra bars; for example, you will still get five steel bars from smelting ten coal and five iron. However, you will still earn the same experience from smelting two bars normally. (Note: This is ONLY for smelting bars. It does not affect crafting jewellery or silver items.)


 * 8% chance of Mining two ores at once when Mining ores up to and including coal. If two ores are mined at once, the player gets experience for both ores. You won't get Sacred clay pickaxe's bonus exp for the extra ore. Message: The Varrock armour allows you to mine an additional ore. This stacks with the Shooting Star reward and concentrated coal effects of possibly mining an additional ore, making it possible to mine up to four ores at once when all three effects are activated at the same time. Additionally, if the player has received the Golden mining top, the Varrock armour, when worn with the rest of the golden mining suit, will grant the normal experience bonus of the mining top. This armour has no effect while mining Rune essence. The chance of the effect activating while mining iron is around 3.6%, or roughly one activation per 28 ore.


 * The probability of receiving a piece of the Skull Sceptre is greatly increased, and the charges on the sceptre are doubled when it's assembled while wearing this armour.

Active at all times:


 * Naff will sell players up to 16 battlestaffs per day instead of the usual 8.


 * Option to change your Varrock Teleport to the Grand Exchange by talking to Rat Burgiss; it applies to teleport tablets and the portals in the Portal Chamber too.

Trivia

 * Before the Personalised Shops update, this armour gave better prices in stores throughout Varrock. This was replaced with the benefits affecting the skull sceptre.
 * Some players often wear this armour along with bronze hasta, tyras helm, and Fremennik or mirror shield in order to look like spartan warriors.
 * There is currently a glitch that causes your player's right shoulder to sink into your players torso when you wield a crossbow, and wear this armour.
