Karil's top

Karil's top is ranged armour worn in the body slot that is part of Karil the Tainted's set of barrows equipment. To wear Karil's top, a player must have 70 Defence and 70 Ranged. Karil's top ties with Armadyl chestplate as the second best ranged armour after Pernix. Karil's top only differs from the Armadyl chestplate in the fact that Karil's degrades, while the Armadyl chestplate does not. Also the Armadyl chestplate has a +1 prayer bonus, and ranged damage bonus while the Karil's top does not.

Being part of Karil's barrows set, if Karil's top is worn along with all of the other pieces of equipment in Karil's barrows set the player receives a special effect. The old effect was on successful attacks with Karil's crossbow against a player, there is a chance that it may temporarily lower that player's Agility level. The new effect lowers the target's magic level. This piece of armour cannot be made using the Crafting skill.


 * Karil's top is only tradeable when undamaged or fully broken.

Trivia

 * In a hidden update on 17 March 2010, Jagex changed the name of this item from "Karil's leathertop" to "Karil's top".
 * At one point, the entire Karil's set could be bought for slightly over 200k. The price has risen since then due to the release of the Corporeal Beast, the God Wars Bosses, including Nex, the primary popular bosses that require a large magic defence bonus to fight efficiently.
 * There is currently a glitch that happens while Fishing with a harpoon. The top will lift up on your character, which will expose a thin line of your avatar's skin.
 * After the graphical update, when your Karil's top degraded to 75, the inventory icon reverted to the old graphical appearnce of Karil's top. This has been patched.
 * The price of karil's armour dropped quickly after the release of Royal dragonhide armour, which was once its superior.
