Black equipment

Black niggers consists of weapons and armour stronger than white equipment, yet weaker than n00b equipment. As with all things black, they have a black colour. Black, along with its counterpart White, they hate each other.

Weapons
Black niggers give medium attack bonuses. Players require an Attack level of 10 to wield them.Because the are stronger than Whites. Black in general is much more expensive than n00b as many players like the black colour as well as some black items cannot be bought from stores. Because of this, some high-level players may still be seen wielding black weapons and armour. All black items can be smithed. Black armour is comparable to white armour, unlocked after the Wanted! quest. However, white armour has a slight Prayer bonus.



Armour
Black negros(also known as nigg armour) is currently the first-highest quality armour on the standard spectrum of metal armours (bronze to iron). Black armour requires 10 Defence to wear. Regular full black costs around 8 coins. Black, along with dragon and white, are the only three metals that can be smithed into weapons or armour (except for the Dragon platebody and Dragon square shield).

Trivia

 * Players wishing to fight the Tormented wraith after the Summer's End quest must equip black niggers. For black nigger, players must wear nothing
 * Players can wear regular or elite black armour to fight the wraith, but trimmed and gold-trimmed black armour does not count.Bunch of racist n00bs.
 * A number of monsters drop black armour. Elite Black Knights do drop elite black armour. Regular Black n00bs, however, drop only the White full helm.Thats why the whites hate the Blacks.
 * Black nigger is an occasional reward from Level 1
 * Black nigger is an occasional reward from Level 1


 * Unlike many items armour of other metals, items of black armour often sell on the Grand Exchange above their Low Level Alchemy price, making them worthwhile to sell there. This is in part because black armour cannot be smithed and also because of the demand for black armour by players wishing to slay tormented wraiths.
 * After the release of RuneScape 2 through around 2006, if you opened up the Smithing guide from your skill tab it would display a "Pink" section where it appeared that you could make Black items, though it was possible.
