Bandos chestplate

A Bandos chestplate is a part of the Bandos armour set, requiring 70 Defence to wear. It is dropped by General Graardor and his bodyguards in the God Wars Dungeon.

The Bandos chestplate has the best armour rating and lifepoints boost of any non-degradable melee body. Including degradable equipment, it is surpassed by the superior tetsu body, tetsu body, torva platebody, vesta's chainbody, statius's platebody, and Barrows equipment. The Bandos tassets, and chestplate now have lower armour stats compared to barrows items as of an Eoc Update on April 30, 2013 as it is now "Power armour".This means that every piece of bandos armour has a damage boost.

Trivia

 * This armour is not considered to be metallic when using any of Ava's devices.


 * The inventory icon for a bandos chestplate was missing both the shoulder spikes and the sleeve. It also resembled the male version of the chestplate more than the female version. This was fixed after the 6th March 2012 graphical update.


 * Before the graphical update, the shoulder piece on the female version appeared to be slightly bigger and rounder than the one on the male version. This may be due to the fact that the model for female characters is smaller than that of male characters, making the shoulder piece appear larger. There was also an extra side piece on the female version.


 * Before the graphical update, the gauntlet-like pieces of the chestplate, near where gloves would be equipped, differed by the player's gender. The male version of the chestplate seemed to have 3 layers of hand plating, while the female version had 2.


 * The chestplate, along other Bandos armour, underwent yet another graphical update on the 3rd of July 2012.


 * The chestplate, along with many other items, received a small damage boost on January 14, 2013, due to player complaints about how the chestplate was similar to a Barrows platebody.
