Mithril platebodies are the fourth-best standard platebody. A player with 68 Smithing can make one by using 5 mithril bars on an anvil, granting 250 Smithing experience. It is also a rare drop from cockroach workers and the guards of Burthorpe. To wear the platebody requires level 30 Defence. Because it is inexpensive and relatively light-weight while providing decent defensive stats, it is recommended for use in PvP by lower-levelled players. A platebody must be smithed at the anvil below Draynor Village to complete a Lumbridge/Draynor Village Hard task.
