Dharok the Wretched's equipment is obtainable from the Barrows Minigame. Note that completing the minigame does not guarantee you will get a Barrows item. Like all Barrows equipment, Dharok's armour requires 70 Defence to wear, while the Greataxe requires 70 Attack and Strength to wield. Like all Barrows items, the armour will degrade over time while in combat. Once it degrades, displaying a durability rating of 100, 75, 50, or 25, it is no longer tradeable. Only non-degraded and fully degraded versions are tradeable.
Set effect[edit | edit source]
Wretched Strength: The lower a player's remaining hitpoints are, the higher maximum hit the player can inflict with the set equipped. The full set, including Dharok's greataxe, must be equipped to yield the special effect.
At 99 hitpoints, the formula approximates that for every 1 Hitpoint lost, the hit is 1% higher; so when a player has 99 Hitpoints and is reduced to 1, the set effect will deal close to double damage (97.02% higher). It is possible to hit 118 with the full set by using a Salve amulet (e) or Salve amulet(ei), wearing max possible Strength equipment, attacking an undead monster while being at 1 hitpoint and 99 Strength, using Piety and a Super strength potion or the Dragon battleaxe's special attack, Rampage.
Without the undead bonus, the player can hit a maximum of 102 against other targets without using the dragon battleaxe and 104 with. It is commonly used in player killing due to the set's ability to potentially deal a lethal hit, especially when combined with a ornate granite maul.
