A new quest about barrows brother in which you unlock a crypt where you can find monsters that drop an ancient/dark stone.
If you use this stone at a certain altar (from quest) you can turn your barrows armour set into a corrupt armour set.
All corrupt armour is degradable in PvP combat and once shattered cannot be repaired but you will receive the ancient/dark stone back.
What this will do is decrease the quantity of barrows armour sets in game and increase their price as a result and at the same time keep the price of the ancient/dark stones not too high.
Concept would be that the ancient stone would act like a catalyst, making the armour perform better but also make it degrade so badly that it shatters eventually but the stone remains intact.
Corrupt Ahrim’s set:
5% + magic accuracy
5% + magic damage
Special attack drains 50%
Special attack: bursted spell (whichever spell you cast is casted thrice in same tick)
Corrupt Karil’s set:
5% + range accuracy
5% + range damage
Special attack drains 50%
Special attack: Barrage (A barrage of 5 bolts in one tick. Damage of karils crossbow is slightly decreased as well)
Corrupt Torags set:
All range and melee and magic damage is reduced by 5%
Special attack drains 50%
Special attack: Hammer strikes (Instantly hits with both Hammers dealing two damages in same tick. Accuracy is increased by 50% and damage is decreased by 25%. The other players is also damaged in such a way that his next attack will deal back 33% of his damage back on himself, even if this damage is dealt on another player or monster. If you use two special attacks at same time then the next hit the other player deals is inflicted back on him by 45% instead of 33%)
Corrupt Guthans set:
5% + strength
5% + accuracy
Special attack drains 50%
Special attack: Sever (Slashes through the opponents body vertically from bottom to up resulting in blood loss. Damage increased by 25% and as a result 50% of any damage dealt is also added to your hitpoints)
Corrupt Veracs set:
10% + accuracy
Special attack drains 50%
Special attack: Shatter (100% chance of killing your opponent if your opponent has less hp than 90% of your max hit. i.e. if your max is 40 and your opponent has 36 hp then you have a 100% chance of hitting that damage. If you opponent has higher hp than 90% of your max then the special attack has 33% higher damage and 50% more accuracy.)
Corrupt Dharok set:
10% + melee damage
Special attack drains 50%
Special attack: concentrated cleave (50% + accuracy on your attack and damage reduced by 20%)

Support! Jagex takes power-creep and has always put in significant effort to maintain the value of older items given OSRS has been out for 10 years now.
I also tend to be a fan of repurposing old school gear where appropriate and this is definitely something that can work well. Desert Treasure 2 is another upcoming example of that.

Sorry ..'Degrade to Dust' only make sense
if your not squabbling over percentages.
Get gud?
What's the problem with it degrading to dust?
Your (re)creating an inferior ancient warrior armor set(s).
