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.
Verac's helm has a lesser magic penalty compared to other helmets at +0 magic defence but slightly less ranged defence bonuses compared to Guthan's or Torag's helm, which are equal bonuses. 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 TzHaar Fight Cave minigame because of its good melee and ranged defence and prayer bonus.
If Verac's helm is worn along with all of the other pieces of equipment in Verac's set, the player receives the Defiler set effect. With this set effect active, player attacks have a chance (averaging 1/4) of hitting through an opponent's defence and prayer entirely. This effect can be devastating towards tank opponents who rely on high defence. With this set effect, Verac's flail can be considered one of the best weapons for certain PvM situations.

Degradation
Barrows equipment degrades as it is used. Equipment received from the Barrows reward chest is fully repaired and can be used for 15 hours of combat until it degrades completely and requires repair before it can be used again. Barrows armour degrades even if the player is using protection prayers or not taking damage. Barrows equipment does not suffer in performance as it degrades from fully repaired to fully degraded. Fully repaired Barrows items start out with no numbers in their names, e.g. Verac's helm. It will become Verac's helm 100 the first time it's used in combat. Eventually it will degrade to Verac's helm 75, then 50, then 25 and finally 0 at which point the equipment will be unusable until repaired. Additionally, Barrows equipment may only be traded if fully repaired or fully degraded.
When dropped or lost on dangerous PvP death, any piece of Barrows equipment will automatically degrade to 0. Players who attempt to drop Barrows equipment will receive a warning message about this. As a bank note, dropping will not break the equipment.
There are two ways to repair Barrows equipment. Players can talk to any of the NPCs listed below and they will repair the items for a price, or repair the pieces themselves using an armour stand in any player-owned house. The equipment can be repaired at any stage, and the cost will be adjusted according to how much it has degraded. The repair costs below are as if the equipment has fully degraded.
The following NPCs can repair the equipment:
- Bob - the axe seller in Lumbridge
- Tindel Marchant - the weapon and armour repairman at Port Khazard
- Dunstan - the smith in Burthorpe
- Squire - in the workshop area of the Void Knights' Outpost
- Aneirin - the armour seller in Prifddinas
- Blacksmith - the blacksmith of Civitas illa Fortis
It costs less to repair Barrows equipment at an armour stand compared to paying an NPC. Stat boosts do affect the price of repair. The formula used to calculate the cost at a repair stand is:
A player with a Smithing level of 60, for instance, would pay 70% of normal cost:
Simply put, every 2 Smithing levels reduces the repair cost by 1% when compared to an NPC vendor. At level 99 this equals roughly 50% in savings.
