Third-age warrior armour

Third Age warrior armour is a set of Third Age armour for warriors. To wear this armour the player needs at least 65 Defence. The only ways a player can receive Third Age warrior armour is by obtaining it from a level 3 Clue scroll, buying it in the Grand Exchange, or trading with another player. This armour can not be bought in stores or be made through the Smithing skill.

It was long thought that the chances of obtaining a piece of third-age armour was of about 1 in 10,000 (according to Paul Gower), however, it was recently confirmed that the odds are lower than 1 in 100,000.

Third Age melee armour is currently one of the rarest sets of armour in the game. Due to its extreme rarity, it is also the second most expensive armour, second only to Torva armour. In the Grand Exchange, the Third Age melee set has a market price of. While it is currently considered to be the best non-degradable armour in the game, Bandos armour offers prayer, and strength bonuses, and because it is far cheaper, is more widely used than Third Age armour. Third Age warrior armour is mainly worn to show wealth.

Trivia

 * The silvery metal might be based on platinum, a white, silvery, and expensive metal, and a symbol of purity, or titanium, also a white silverish metal, but much stronger and even lighter than steel. It also resembled the fabled metal mithril in other fantasy novels like The Lord of the Rings. 3rd age melee armour is in fact "beaten from magical silver" - this perhaps is in closer keeping with the Lord of the Rings' varied descriptions of Mithril as True-Silver and Moria-Silver whilst departing from the Runescape interpretation of Mithril as a thoroughly unremarkable, relatively common, blue-ish metal.
 * If worn with a leaf-bladed sword, it resembles the armour worn by the soldiers of Gondor in The Lord of the Rings films. In the timeline of The Lord of the Rings, the Third Age is also when the events of the story take place.
 * Robert the Strong seems to be wearing this armour in display number 20 in the Varrock Museum.
