Torva equipment

Torva armour is an armour set which is found in the Zaros themed God Wars Dungeon expansion, first mentioned in a Behind the Scenes update on 3 January 2011 and released on 10 January 2011. The full armour set boosts a player's maximum life points by 400. Torva melee armour has a requirement of level 80 Defence, 80 Constitution, and 80 Strength. Aside from the armours in Daemonheim, torva possesses the best defensive bonuses in the game.

It is dropped exclusively by Nex, who is the toughest boss monster released so far. Any Torva, Pernix or Virtus item counts as a god item for all four factions in God Wars Dungeon, thus being very useful, although each item has a hefty price.

Trivia

 * "Torva" is Latin for "savage" or "fierce".
 * The torva armour looks quite close to the armour of the fighter on the front page of the book RuneScape: Betrayal at Falador.
 * Torva armour is the most expensive armour set in the game. As of the release date it is around 485 million, overcoming the third age warrior armour set which is priced at about 388 million coins.
 * This item, along with the other ancient armour pieces, originally had a glitch which did not allow them to be traded even after being fixed. This has since been fixed.
 * Torva increases the lifepoints received from Saradomin brews and Healing Aura scrolls, since your maximum threshold for health is increased. E.G. 208 LP instead of 148 LP, for an entire set.
 * Torva armour is the only set of armour dropped by Nex that does not grant an additional bonus for wearing the complete set (platebody, platelegs and helmet).
 * Jagex intended for the Ancient sets to balance out the combat triangle, however, due to the rarity of these items and their tremendous price they will likely see little use in combat, except by the very rich and high-level. In Pvp, this armour will most likely only be used when not Skulled and as part of the 3 items kept on death. Also it will likely be used as vanity items and for hoarding (for street price).
