Varrock armour 1 is the reward given to the players upon completion of the Varrock Diary easy tasks by Rat Burgiss. When worn, it provides helpful bonuses to mining and smithing, as well a higher chance at receiving Skull Sceptre part drops from monsters in the Stronghold of Security, and the Skull Sceptre has ten charges instead of five if assembled while the armour is worn. If lost, it can be re-acquired by speaking with Rat Burgiss. Its stats are the same as a Bronze Platebody.

Effects

 * Chance of smelting two bars at once when smelting ores up to and including steel in the Edgeville furnace. Message: The magic of the Varrock armour enables you to smelt 2 bars at the same time. If smelting iron ore with a ring of forging, only one charge will be used, but both bars will be successfully smelted. This allows rings of forging to last longer before melting. This will not give extra bars; for example, you will still get five steel bars from smelting ten coal and five iron. (Note: This is ONLY for smelting bars. It does not affect crafting jewellery or silver items.)


 * 8% chance of Mining two ores at once when Mining ores up to and including coal. If two ores are mined at once, the player gets experience for both ores. You won't get Sacred clay pickaxe's bonus exp for the extra ore. Message: The Varrock armour allows you to mine an additional ore. This stacks with the Shooting Star reward and concentrated coal effects of possibly mining an additional ore, making it possible to mine up to four ores at once when all three effects are activated at the same time. This armour has no effect while mining Rune Essence.


 * The chance of the effect activating while mining iron is around 3.6%, or roughly one activation per 28 ore.


 * The probability of receiving a piece of the Skull Sceptre is greatly increased when wearing this, and the charges on the sceptre are doubled when it's assembled while wearing this armour.


 * Zaff will sell players up to 16 battlestaves per day instead of the usual 8.


 * Option to change your Varrock teleport to the Grand Exchange by talking to Rat Burgiss; the armour is not required to be worn for the teleport spot to change, and it applies to teleport tablets and house portals too.

Trivia

 * Before the Personalised Shops update, this armour gave better prices in stores throughout Varrock. This was replaced with the benefits affecting the Skull Sceptre.
 * There is currently a glitch where if worn with a Spotted Cape, while running, you can see the cape flapping through the armour and coming out of the front. This has not been fixed.
