In Old School RuneScape (OSRS), the Guthans set is a popular choice for players due to its healing properties and effectiveness in certain combat scenarios. However, as the equipment degrades over time, it becomes necessary to repair it to maintain its functionality. In this article, we’ll explore the costs associated with repairing a full set of Guthans armor and provide insights into the degradation process.
Guthans Armor Set
The Guthans set consists of four pieces: the Guthans platebody, Guthans chainskirt, Guthans warspear, and Guthans helm. Each piece has its own repair cost, which varies depending on the level of degradation and the method used for repair.
Degradation of Barrows Equipment
Barrows equipment, including the Guthans set, degrades as it is used in combat. The degradation process is as follows:
The equipment starts at 100% durability and is fully repaired.
After 15 hours of combat, it will degrade to 75% durability.
It continues to degrade in 25% increments until it reaches 0% durability, at which point it becomes unusable.
Degradation occurs even if the player is using protection prayers or not taking damage.
It’s important to note that the performance of the equipment does not suffer as it degrades from fully repaired to fully degraded.
Repair Costs
There are two ways to repair Barrows equipment in OSRS:
Using an NPC: Players can talk to specific NPCs, such as Bob in Lumbridge, Tindel Marchant in Port Khazard, Dunstan in Burthorpe, or the Squire in the Void Knights’ Outpost, to have their equipment repaired for a fee.
Using a Player-Owned House (POH) Armor Stand: Players with a high Smithing level can repair their own Barrows equipment using an armor stand in their POH.
The repair costs for a full set of Guthans armor, assuming it has fully degraded, are as follows:
Item NPC Repair Cost POH Armor Stand (Level 99 Smithing)
Helm 60,000 coins 30,300 coins
Body 90,000 coins 45,450 coins
Legs 80,000 coins 40,400 coins
Weapon 100,000 coins 50,500 coins
Total 330,000 coins 166,650 coins
As shown in the table, repairing a full set of Guthans armor using an NPC will cost 330,000 coins, while using a POH armor stand with a Smithing level of 99 will cost 166,650 coins. The repair cost is adjusted based on the level of degradation, so if the equipment is not fully degraded, the cost will be lower.
It’s important to note that if Barrows equipment is dropped or lost on death, it will automatically degrade to 0% durability, regardless of its previous state. Players can receive a warning message when attempting to drop Barrows equipment to prevent accidental degradation.
In conclusion, repairing a full set of Guthans armor in OSRS can be a significant investment, especially if using an NPC. However, players with a high Smithing level can save a substantial amount of money by repairing their equipment using a POH armor stand. Understanding the degradation process and repair costs can help players plan their Guthans usage and maintenance accordingly.
