Bandos chestplate

Bandos chestplate is a part of Bandos' armour, requiring 65 Defence to wear. It is dropped by General Graardor and his bodyguards in the God Wars Dungeon.

It is generally used as all-purpose torso armour because it offers a high defence bonus, a strength bonus, and a prayer bonus. Because of this, many players believe it is the best non-degradable platebody in the game. However, it is slightly lower than the Dragon Platebody in stab and slash defence bonus, whereas the Bandos Chestplate has slightly higher Crush, Summoning, Ranged, Strength, and Prayer bonuses.

When worn by a female player, its appearance differs from when it is worn by a male player.

The bandos chestplate is tied for the highest strength bonus (+4) of any non-degradable chestplate or platebody in the game with the Fighter torso.

A little over one year after its release, the Bandos chestplate reached its minimum price ever at a little over 10 million coins in September 2008, It then slowly rose to over 13 million coins by May 2009. Then, mostly as a result of the addition of statuette drops to PvP worlds, the price gradually rose to its current price of over 24 million coins. Throughout this time there were some crashes but the long term price trend has been an increase.
