How to get the Inquisitor's hauberk

The Inquisitor's hauberk is obtained as a drop from The Nightmare, a boss you can look up on the Boss Gear Finder. It is tradeable and noteable, so it can also be bought directly on the Grand Exchange instead of being farmed as a drop.

The Inquisitor's armour set effect

Wearing just the hauberk boosts damage and accuracy by 1% when attacking with the crush style. Equip all three pieces of the Inquisitor's armour set and the total is 2.5% (0.5% from the great helm and 1% each from the hauberk and plateskirt), with or without the inquisitor's mace. The hauberk also counts as a Zamorakian item inside the God Wars Dungeon.

Is the Inquisitor's hauberk worth it?

The Inquisitor's hauberk provides strong melee defence for the body slot and suits players training Defence who also want the crush-style set bonus. Because that bonus applies to the crush attack style, it's most useful for accounts built around crush weapons rather than stab or slash. It's members-only and tradeable, with a buy limit of 8 every 4 hours.
