At a glance
- Armour: 9
- Bag: one item per slot
Worn as: head. Requires Combat 40.
- Armour and shields work together against physical attacks, with diminishing returns, using the same rules against creatures and players. Better armour reduces damage, but heavy blows can still hurt. Armour is a protection rating, not a fixed amount subtracted from every hit. Spells use their own protection rules.
Optional salvage: permanently consume 4 identical pieces from your bag beside an anvil with a hammer to recover 1 × Steel bar. No XP. Preview and salvage rules.
How to get it
