Guthan's helm detail
Guthan's helm chathead

Guthan's helm is melee armour worn in the headwear slot that is part of Guthan The Infested's set of barrows equipment. To wear Guthan's helm, a player must have 70 Defence.

Being part of Guthan's barrows set, if Guthan's helm is worn along with all of the other pieces of equipment in Guthan's barrows set the player receives a special effect. Successful attacks have a chance of replenishing life points equal to the damage the player deals. This piece of armour cannot be made using the Smithing skill.

Despite Guthan's having more than average combat stats, it is mostly used by players to heal (and saves space that would have been used bringing food) and then they revert back to their regular melee armour. This method saves money and ultimately puts off having to repair the armour as regularly.

  • Guthan's helm is only tradeable when undamaged or fully broken.
  • If you drop this item it will degrade to "0".

RepairEdit

Barrows equipment degrades as it is used. Equipment received from the Barrows minigame 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. Like the crystal shield and crystal bow, 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. Guthan's helm. It will become Guthan's helm 100 the first time it's used in combat. Eventually it will degrade to Guthan's helm 75, then 50, then 25 and finally 0 at which point the armour will be unusable until repaired. Additionally, Barrows equipment may only be traded if fully repaired or fully degraded.

When dropped or lost on death (even when placed under a gravestone), any piece of Barrows equipment will automatically degrade to 0. Players who attempt to drop Barrows equipment will receive a warning message about this.

There are two ways to repair Barrows armour. 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 armour:

Costs to repair
barrows equipment
NPC POH Armour Stand
Level 1 Smithing Level 99 Smithing
Helm 180,000 179,100 90,900
Body 270,000 268,650 136,350
Legs 240,000 238,800 121,200
Weapon 300,000 298,500 151,500
Total 990,000 985,050 499,950
The price is exactly 50% when operating a Smithing cape.



TriviaEdit

  • Guthan's helm used to look similar to Arrav's helm.
  • If a player wears this helmet (along with any other helmet with horns) and talk to any Minotaur familiar, a rather funny conversation will occur.
  • Guthan's helm worn by Guthan the Infested is less detailed than a player's. This is due to the Barrows Brother's outdated graphics.
  • A red-colored version of the old Guthan's helm graphics appears to be worn by the level 81 and 84 Zamorak warriors, along with what appears to be a Zamorak kiteshield and Vesta's longsword.
  • Some players who buy the Guthan's set complain that your character's chathead can be seen through the helmet, which makes it seem much less threatening.
  • Guthan's helm and Torag's helm have equal defensive stats, but the Torag's helm is cheaper due to the lack of a healing effect, and with multiple run rate updates, the negative effect of Torag's helm is rendered nearly useless.
