Virtus equipment



Virtus equipment is a set of degradable high level Magic equipment that requires 80 Magic, 80 Defence, and 80 Constitution to wear. It was first mentioned on 3 January 2011 and released into the game on 10 January 2011. Virtus armour pieces may only be obtained as rare drops from Nex, the boss of the Zarosian stronghold of the God Wars Dungeon, the Ancient Prison. It is the Magic companion armour set to Torva armour and Pernix armour, which are melee and Ranged sets, respectively.

As level 80 equipment, Virtus equipment is currently the second highest-level Magic equipment in the game, behind sea singer armour.

Wearing any piece of Torva, Pernix, or Virtus armours, or wielding a zaryte bow, will cause all factions of monsters in the God Wars Dungeon (aside from bosses) to be unaggressive.

Virtus equipment is named and modeled after Virtus, an elite mage who served in Zaros' army during the Second Age.

Degrading and repair
The largest drawback to this armour set is that it degrades after 10 hours of combat. The pieces do not degrade in increments, rather they retain their stats throughout the ten hours and then immediately drop to 0. This percentage can be checked by right-clicking the armour piece and selecting 'check-charge' while it is either in your inventory or equipped. Each individual item in the set has a charge value that must be replenished either at Bob's Brilliant Axes or at an armour stand in a player-owned house. Repair costs at an armour stand decrease linearly based on the player's Smithing level. The cost is exactly half with a Smithing level of 100. Boosts such as the Smithing skillcape work.
