The Avernic defender is a melee off-hand item worn in the shield slot. It needs 70 Attack and 70 Defence. It gives +30 stab, +29 slash and +28 crush attack, the same amounts of defence and +8 melee strength, with small penalties to magic and ranged. In the ::bis interface it has the highest stab, slash and crush attack and the highest melee strength of any shield-slot item, so it is the best off-hand for one-handed melee weapons. It cannot be traded, and it costs 500 vote points in the Voting shop.

Drops
| Source | Quantity | Rate |
|---|---|---|
 Guardian of Votes |
1 | about 1/11 per main drop |
 Theatre of Blood (unique reward) |
1 | 10/649 per unique roll (about 1/65) |
- Each main drop of the Guardian of Votes that is not its TokHaar-kal (1/75) is one of 11 items picked at random, and the Avernic defender is one of them.
- In the Theatre of Blood, a player who deals more than 400 damage to Verzik Vitur has a 10% chance of a unique reward, raised by donator rank. The defender takes up 10 of the unique table's 649 entries, so without any rank or perks it comes about once in 649 raids.
It cannot be traded, so it cannot be bought from other players.
Death and repairs
The defender is kept when you die. If you die somewhere you lose items, such as the Wilderness, it turns into an 
Avernic defender (broken) and the player who killed you receives 300 PK points. Use the Repair option on the broken defender to fix it for 300 PK points. With Auto-Fix Untradeables turned on in the Quest tab settings, it is repaired automatically when you die, as long as you have enough PK points. See Items Kept on Death for the general rules.
