Armour Stand: What Does It Mean in Game Context?

The Armour stand in Old School RuneScape is a useful piece of furniture that players can build in their Player-owned House (POH). It plays a crucial role in maintaining and repairing various types of equipment, particularly Barrows gear, which degrades during combat.

Building the Armour Stand

To construct an armour stand, players must have a Construction level of 55. It requires the use of a Workshop room, and the following materials:

• 5 Oak planks
• 1 Iron bar

Once constructed, the armour stand becomes a permanent fixture in the player's house, offering valuable services for maintaining their gear.

Repairing Barrows Equipment

The primary function of the armour stand is to repair Barrows equipment. Barrows gear degrades over time and requires maintenance to remain effective. Using an armour stand for repairs can significantly reduce costs compared to other repair methods. The repair cost is directly proportional to the player's Smithing level, offering a discount that increases with higher levels.

Additional Uses and Benefits

Besides repairing Barrows gear, the armour stand can be used to restore various other degraded equipment, making it a versatile and beneficial addition to any player-owned house. Players who frequently engage in combat and use degradable items will find the armour stand a valuable asset, as it helps reduce the overall cost of maintaining high-level gear.

The convenience of having an armour stand in a player's POH allows for easy access and quick repairs, particularly useful for those who utilize their house for other activities, such as Prayer training or Slayer tasks.
