Damaged armour is an item that can be found by digging at the digsite, from the Fishing Trawler minigame, or from pick-pocketing certain monsters (including H.A.M. members). It is also found in ogre coffins (see ogre coffin key), can be telegrabbed inside the Ranging Guild's archery competition spot, and is found in the Uzer Mastaba by searching the first skeleton directly east of the stairs. Players may use the drop trick as a free and quick way to obtain lots of the damaged armour item from this skeleton.

Players may also find damaged armours scattered throughout the world in the form of scenery. However, these may not be picked up.

Members can repair it at an armour stand (55 Construction required to build, but players could use others') in the workshop of a player-owned house. It will then become a platebody armour made from a random metal up to mithril, although there is a significant chance of breaking it beyond repair. The most common armour produced this way is an iron platebody, though bronze, steel, black, and mithril are also possible. Successfully repairing a damaged armour gives 25 Smithing experience.
