Fighter torso



The Fighter torso is a piece of members-only armour. To wear one, a player must have at least 40 Defence. A Fighter torso can be obtained by exchanging 375 Honour Points in all four roles. But only after killing the Penance Queen at least once in the Barbarian Assault activity. The Fighter torso was the only piece of chest armour that provided a strength bonus until the release of Bandos chestplate, Vesta's chainbody, and Statius's platebody.

A Fighter torso can now be picked up from a player's Gravestone if they should die with it. (This is confirmed contrary to player's beliefs.)

In addition, as of the 19 January 2010 Barbarian Assault Update, you can bank multiple Fighter Torsos, as well as other penance items you win.

Trivia



 * Using the Items Kept on Death screen, players can find that a fighter torso has a hypothetical value of 69,606 coins, this was updated on the 19 January 2010 Barbarian Assault Update.
 * The Fighter Torso does not interfere with the effects of Ava's Attractor and Ava's Accumulator.
 * The Barbarian Assault rewards screen labels it as a "Penance torso" even though in-game it is called the Fighter torso.
 * On the 19 January 2010 Barbarian Assault Update, the Fighter Torso's bonuses were made equal to the Rune platebody. Within 2 hours after the update, another update was issued and the Torso was restored to its previous bonuses, along with the +4 strength.


 * It is very possible that the Fighter torso is based on an Aztec armour made of cotton and dried in salt water making it capable of stopping arrows.
