Fractite platebody

Fractite platebody is a tier 5 item released with the Dungeoneering update. Making one requires 49 Smithing and five Fractite bars. A player with the Fractite platebody has a slightly higher defence bonus than the Rune platebody. Currently, it serves as the best F2P armour in RuneScape, but can only be worn in Daemonheim. Like the Rune Platebody, it can only be worn if the user has at least Level 40 Defence. Besides providing the best melee protection (besides corrupt dragon armour), it also grants the highest smithing experience within Daemonheim for F2P. If you are going to make Fractite Armour for the next floor and so on, it's worth binding this as it prevents overloading with cash.

Many players find fractite platebodies hard to obtain, so it is highly recommended to have these as a second bound item, after a fractite weapon (2h sword, maul, or spear) and with level 50 dungeoneering.

Like all other armour in Daemonheim, it has one critical drawback: its weaknesses are drawn out to the maximum. You may notice that the fractite platebody has a very low crush defence bonus compared to the Rune platebody. However, this can easily be countered by wearing a plateskirt with it to improve its crush defence. However, if one wears a Fractite platebody, platelegs, full helm, boots and gauntlets, it would provide more stab, slash, and ranged defence than full rune with a kiteshield. However, the crush defence of this full set would be a smaller value as compared to defence against other attacks.

Trivia

 * Apparently, whenever you have found/made a Fractite Platebody (and all the other Platebodies higher than Fractite and Kratonite), the blue light/object in the middle is not blue. However, when worn, it turns blue. This is not the case with Novite, Bathus or Marmaros Platebodies.
