Tyras helm

The Tyras helm is a members only piece of headwear. To wear one, the player must have at least 5 Defence. Whilst it bears resemblance to a steel medium helmet, it has the same bonuses as a steel full helm. To obtain a Tyras helm, the player can either buy one from Trader Stan's Trading Post or from another player. The helm cannot be smithed.

When this helm was first released, along with the Trader Stan's Trading Post update, they were in great demand, going for many times their value. The price dropped only a few days after the release. This was because although it at first appeared new and exciting, it quickly became seen as inferior to many other helmets.

Glitches

 * On 5 January 2010 a glitch was discovered that if the player wears the Tyras helmet and Granite body with Granite legs and wields a sword on standard detail on a slow computer when the player clicks on the "equip your character" menu as the player rotates, the sword cut all the way through the players head.
 * There is a graphical glitch where the back part of the helmet goes through the player's back.

Trivia

 * The Tyras helm is often worn to resemble a Spartan soldier from Ancient Greece, and has also been widely used for RuneScape reenactments of the film 300 on YouTube.
 * The Tyras helm slightly resembles a Third age full helmet.
