Verac's brassard

Verac's brassard is melee armour worn on the chest and is part of Verac's equipment. To wear Verac's brassard, a player must have 70 Defence. Like all Barrows equipment, Verac's brassard cannot be made using the Smithing skill.

If Verac's brassard is worn with all other parts of Verac's equipment, there is a chance that successful attacks will hit through an opponent's Defence and Prayer. This ability can be used to cause high amounts of damage. Verac's brassard is only tradeable when either undamaged or fully broken. Dropping this item in un-noted form it will instantly degrade it to "0".

Verac's brassard offers significantly less melee and ranged protection than Guthan, Torag and Dharok's platebodies (which all have equal stats). Because of this, Verac's brassard is rarely seen being used outside of the full set, because it incurs the same repair cost as the Barrows platebodies. However, Verac's brassard does not penalise ranged and magic attack bonuses nearly as much as regular melee armour.
