Ahrim the Blighted's equipment

Ahrim the Blighted's equipment is obtainable from the Barrows minigame. A full set consists of Ahrim's robetop, robeskirt, hood, and staff. The set requires 70 Magic and 70 Defence to wear, and 70 Attack to use the staff. The minimum Combat level required to wear these robes is level 54, assuming you have level 10 Hitpoints. Ahrim's robes provide the greatest Magic attack bonus out of all Magic robes in the game (except for Ahrim's hood, where the Third-age mage hat provides better magic attack bonus). As such it is popular among high-levelled mages. In addition, it gives Melee defence bonuses that Magic robes normally don't have, which makes it somewhat popular for PvP situations. The staff, on the other hand, is not commonly used as it is two-handed and the set effect is generally not seen as particularly useful; however, the staff does give a 10% bonus to Magic damage. Ahrim's (along with other barrows equipment) degrades over a period of 15 hours, but only in combat.

Ahrim's set offers some of the best magic bonuses available and is normally recommended for fighting various high level monsters. It is one of the few sets of magic robes that give defence bonuses against things other than magic. This is further reinforced by the fact that the robes look like a combination of chainmail and robes. Like chainmail it is strong against crush attacks however more like dragonhide it is weak to slash and strong against stab.

Set effect
Blighted Aura: Successful magic attacks have a chance of lowering the enemy's Strength by five levels repeatedly. Contrary to popular belief, it does NOT lower your Strength by 10%. The chance is random; however, it occurs in approximately 1 out of 5 casts, or roughly 20% of the time.
