Armor is worn to help protect oneself from attacks. Different kinds of armor provide different amounts of protection, but no armor can protect you completely. Some armor can even have disadvantages. For example, metal armor conducts magical energy and makes magic based attacks stronger.

Anything lower than mithril is pretty much useless although low level free players can use them the bonuses are pretty bad.


To learn more about combat, see the [[RuneScape/Skills/Combat|combat]] guide. Also please note in this guide I have considered ''Full Armour'' to be 1 Full Helmet, 1 Platebody, 1 Platelegs and 1 Square Shield, with the obvious exception of dragon.

The second most expensive armor in the game. most of the dragon pieces can be obtained from drops from monsters, the med. helmet, chain, legs, and the two handed sword can be obtained from drops. Although as of the release of barbarian assault the chain can be obtained there. The scimitar needs the completion of the Monkey Madness quest, and the longsword needs the Lost City quest (they can both be bought from stores in the unlocked areas). The mace requires the Heroes Quest.

==Adamant Armor==
==Adamant Armor==
Very possibly the bane of the armor market, it's barely worse than rune armor, but drastically cheaper.  Very useful, especially for those without money and those who like to PK (and die).  A full set of adamant armor (a.k.a. full addy) is worth 35,000 to 50,000gp.
