Dharok the Wretched's equipment



Dharok's set or Dharok the Wretched's armour set is obtained through the Grand Exchange, by giving Dharok's platebody, Dharok's platelegs, Dharok's helmet, and Dharok's greataxe to a Grand Exchange clerk for the set, buying the full set or in pieces from another player, or completing the Barrows Minigame. Note that completing the Barrows Minigame does not guarantee you will get a Barrows item. Like all Barrows Armour, Dharok's requires 70 Defence to wear, while the Greataxe requires 70 Attack and Strength to wield. Note that over a period of time like all Barrows items, the Armour will degrade, making it untradeable when it is at 100 and below. It is only tradeable when fully repaired or at (0).

Special effect
When a player wears full Dharok's, it activates a set effect called Wretched Strength. "The lower the player's life points, the higher their effective Strength." - As stated on RuneScape's knowledge base.

The formula appears to be for every life point lost, the hit is 0.1% higher; when a player has 990 max life points and is reduced to 1, the set effect will deal close to double damage ( 98.9% higher). It is possible to hit a 1100+ with the full set by using a Salve amulet (e), wearing max possible strength equipment, attacking an undead monster with 10 life points and 99 strength, and using a super strength potion or dragon battleaxe special. Due to the fact that at low life points the risk of dying is very high, many players only use Dharok's for playing safe activities such as Pest Control or when training on monsters with a low max hit such as experiments. Alternatively, some players utilise the set effect while using the Protect from Melee prayer, especially in areas near altars. Unlike the special effects of the other Barrows armour sets, which randomly activate, the effect is constantly active. The full set must be wielded to yield the special effect.

Player killing with the set
Player killers and Player Rushers often use a very powerful weapon special attack (e.g. godsword/dragon claws/dark bow) before wielding the axe. This is most effective if vengeance is cast. Similarly, players may do a bandos godsword special attack on their opponent before switching to the full set. This is exceedingly useful as both the high accuracy (from lowering the opponents defence) and high strength can cause frequent high hits making this one of the best combo's - in spite of the axe being slow and the player needing to lower their hitpoints below 50%.

This set is the most expensive out of all of the Barrows sets, and can be obtained from Barrows activity, trading with another player, killing a player that has the armour, and on the Grand Exchange.
