Verac's helm

Verac's helm is melee armour worn in the headwear slot that is part of Verac the Defiled's set of barrows equipment. To wear Verac's helmet, a player must have 70 Defence. Being part of Verac's set, when Verac's helm is worn, along with all of the other pieces of equipment in the set, 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. The price of the helmet is much more expensive than other pieces of the Verac's set because there is a high demand for Verac's helm. For this reason, it is often used in scams - players would switch the helmet with a Verac's skirt just before the trade was completed. Verac's helm is considered to be a full helmet, making it the third strongest of all full helmets (behind the degradable Statius's full helm, and Torva full helm). This helmet is often used in 'tank' combat due to the high defensive bonuses as well as a Prayer bonus. This helmet is commonly used during the Fight Caves activity because of its good melee defence and prayer bonus.


 * Verac's helm is only tradeable when either undamaged or fully broken.
 * If you drop this item it will degrade to "0".

Trivia

 * When talking to an NPC with Verac's helm on, the chathead's mouthpeice seems to open and close, unlike others of its kind, such as the Rune full helm and Dragon full helm.
 * Although Verac's helm does not keep over the 3 other parts of the set, but now because of the Kept on Death update it could keep over other items that are worth less. Its alchemy values appear to be specifically designed in order for it to be kept over many items with a High Level Alchemy value of 60k and a Low Level Alchemy value of 40k, such as the Dragon Scimitar and Barrows gloves.
 * Unlike most full helms, the face of your character is fully covered in the chathead.
 * This helmet is the third most defensive helmet in the game. ( beaten by the Statius's full helm and the Torva full helm.)
 * Verac's helm has the same prayer bonus as the Helm of Neitiznot but has no strength bonus. Others prefer the Helm of Neitiznot because it's non-degradable and far cheaper.
 * Unlike Torag's, Guthan's and Dharok's helmet, this gives a prayer bonus and doesn't have negative Magic defence.
 * If you have a full inventory when your Verac's Helm degrades to Verac's Helm (0) it will stay on your character until you decide to take it off. (The helmet will not give the same bonus as if it was Verac's 25% - 100%)
