Serpentine helm

The serpentine helm is a degradable helmet made at level 52 Crafting by using a chisel on a serpentine visage, giving the player 120 Crafting experience. The helmet requires 75 Defence to wear. Its defensive bonuses are comparable to those of the Barrows helmets, without the prayer bonus that Verac's helm offers. It has the third highest strength bonus of all helmets, although its high cost of use makes other helmets more convenient for general training.

Passive effects

The serpentine helm provides two passive effects:

• When charged and equipped, the helmet grants immunity to venom and poison.
• The opponent has a chance to be inflicted with venom for every successful hit the player does, provided that they are not immune to it. This effect only applies to monsters and does not work on other players.

The chances of inflicting venom when the player lands a successful hit on a monster with the helmet equipped are as follows:

• 1 in 6 chance (16.7%) if using a non-poisoned melee weapon (this includes melee hits with the Toxic staff of the dead, since it alone can only apply venom with spells, and unarmed attacks.).
• 1 in 2 chance (50%) if using poisoned weapons (abyssal tentacle and noxious halberd counts).
• 100% chance if using the toxic blowpipe, trident of the swamp, or damaging spells with the toxic staff of the dead.

Charging

The helmet is charged with Zulrah's scales, requiring 11,000 scales to fully charge it at a cost of 1,639,000 coins. It cannot be equipped if it is uncharged, except when it's fully degraded while equipped. In its uncharged form it retains the negative bonuses, but loses all positive bonuses and passive effects. When fully charged, the helmet will last for 16 hours and 30 minutes of combat before returning to its uncharged state. Similar to barrows armour, the helmet will immediately use 10 scales when the player enters combat and will use another 10 if the player is still in combat after 90 ticks (54 seconds) have passed. A continuous hour of combat uses 666.67 scales, costing 99,333.33 coins per hour or 1,655.56 coins per minute.

In comparison, anti-venom+ costs 347.29 coins per minute to use for venom immunity, while an extended anti-venom+ costs .

When uncharging, players will retrieve all the unused scales that were stored in the helm back to their inventory.

Recolouring

The player can use mutagens dropped by Zulrah to recolour the serpentine helm into one of its two colour variants: using a magma mutagen creates a magma helm, and using a tanzanite mutagen creates a tanzanite helm. These variants do not apply any stat changes and are purely cosmetic. The only way to obtain the recoloured helmets is by killing Zulrah itself, as the mutagens or recoloured helmets cannot be traded.
