Guthan's platebody

Guthan's platebody is melee armour worn in the body slot that is part of Guthan The Infested's set of barrows equipment. To wear Guthan's platebody, a player must have 70 Defence. It is currently tied with Torag's platebody and Dharok's platebody as being the third strongest platebody in the game, behind Statius's platebody and the Torva platebody.

Being part of the Guthan's set, if Guthan's platebody is worn along with all of the other pieces of equipment in the set, the player receives a special effect. Successful attacks have a chance of replenishing one life point for each point of damage the player deals. As with all Barrows equipment, this item cannot be made using the Smithing skill.

Guthan's armour is often used by players to heal (thus saving inventory space on food) and then switch to non-degradable melee armour afterwards. This method saves money and ultimately puts off having to repair the armour as regularly. The healing set effect also proves useful for training Slayer.

In the past, due to the resemblance, scammers have been known to offer studded bodies or hardleather bodies instead of Guthan's platebodies in hopes that the other player does not notice the difference. Due to the armour graphical update, however, this scam became non-existent.
