Armadyl armour

Armadyl armour is a set of armour consisting of the Armadyl helmet, the Armadyl chestplate, and the Armadyl chainskirt. It is dropped by General Kree'arra and his 3 minions, (Wingman Skree, Flockleader Geerin, and Flight Kilisa) in the God Wars Dungeon. The pieces require 70 Ranged and 70 Defence to wear. The set provides defence bonuses that are only slightly better than those of black dragonhide armour, with the exception of the magic defence bonus, which is 38 points higher. However, the set also provides 22% Damage soaking versus 13% for black dragonhide armour, which is a considerable advantage when fighting opponents capable of inflicting highly damaging hits.

It should be noted that the set does not include vambraces or boots, so barrows gloves, swift gloves or mercenary's gloves and ranger boots or Glaiven boots are commonly used in conjunction with the set.

The armour also gives a small prayer bonus, which makes it desirable for completing the Fight Caves activity.

The three pieces currently cost a total of 0 coins on the Grand Exchange. It cannot be exchanged into an item set. {|class="wikitable"

The new Royal dragonhide armour, has stirred discussion as to the usefulness of Armadyl Armour. A comparison between Royal D'hide Coif/Body/Chaps and Armadyl Helmet/Chestplate/Chainskirt yeilds the following differences: -8 range attack, -1 stab defence, -2 slash defence, -10 crush defence, -25 mage defence, +5 range defence, +28 summoning defence, -3 prayer, +4% mage absorbtion, +3% range absorbtion. (In this case, + denotes areas where royal d'hide is superior to Armadyl and vise-versa.)

Trivia

 * With the release of RuneScape HD the look of the Armadyl chestplate changed slightly for male characters, resulting in a more feminine crop-top style similar to the dragon chainbody on females. It has since been changed to cover up the bare midriff.
 * On 31 January 2012, Jagex updated the mercenary team north of Falador to wear upcoming versions of some high level armour sets, The mercenary ranger is wearing the Updated Armadyl armour.
 * On 6 March 2012, the Armadyl armour, along with many other armours, received a graphical rework.
