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 when a player dies with the set, (assuming they are not using Protect Item) they always lose the helmet, so there is a high demand for Verac's helm. For this reason, it was often used in scams - players would switch the helmet with a Verac's skirt just before the trade was completed. This scam became obsolete after the changes to trading implemented by Jagex.

Verac's helm is considered to be a full helmet, making it the strongest of all full helmets (besides the degradable Statius's 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 currently the second most expensive Barrows helmet, with the first most expensive being Dharok's helm.

This helmet is commonly used during the Fight Caves activity because of its good melee defence and prayer bonus.

Repair
 * - Verac's helm is only tradeable when undamaged or fully broken.

How to obtain
Verac's helm can only be obtained as reward from the Barrows activity or by trading with another player.

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, 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. (only beaten by Torag's helm and Statius's full helm)
 * Verac's helm has a same prayer bonus as Helm of Neitiznot but has no strength bonus. Others prefer Helm of Neitiznot because it's non-degradable and far cheaper.
