Dharok the Wretched's equipment

Dharok the Wretched's equipment is obtainable from Barrows. Note that completing the minigame does not guarantee you will get a Barrows item. Like all Barrows equipment, Dharok's requires 70 Defence to wear, while the Greataxe requires 70 Attack and Strength to wield. Note that over a period of time like all Barrows items, the armour will degrade, making it untradeable when it is at 100 and below. It is only tradeable when fully repaired or at (0).

Set Effect
Wretched Strength: Maximum melee hit increases according to percentage of health the user has remaining. The damage increase maxes out at 1 hitpoint, at which point testing suggests maximum hit is increased by roughly 33%. This effect does not have a 100% activation rate. The full set must be wielded to yield the special effect. Due to the fact that at low hitpoints the risk of dying is very high, many players only use Dharok's for playing safe minigames such as Pest Control or when training on monsters with a low max hit such as Experiments. Alternatively, some players utilise the set effect while using the Protect from Melee prayer, especially in areas near altars.

Many players using Dharok's intentionally lower their hitpoints to take advantage of the set effect, colloquially referred to as "Dharoking". Common methods of lowering hitpoints are:
 * Dropping nitroglycerin, which will deal 25 damage, or 35 if it has been identified by the archaeological expert at the Exam Centre.
 * Using the Lunar spells Heal Other or Heal Group, both of which hit for 75% of the player's life points.
 * Drinking Zamorak brews, which remove 10% +2 of remaining life points.
 * Attacking Splatters at Pest Control, which explode upon death, damaging all nearby players. Dharok's set is commonly used in Pest Control, as it is a safe minigame and the dangerous nature of Dharok's set makes death more likely.
 * Using the fire traps in Oubliette in a Player-owned house rapidly removes 2-4 hitpoints per tick.
 * Picking nettles without gloves on, which deals 6 points of damage per attempt.
 * Drinking Poison chalices, which can lower up to 60 lifepoints (or heal up to 49).
 * Attempting to eat a Dwarven rock cake, which deals 1 damage per bite.
