Virtus equipment

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

As tier 80 equipment, Virtus armour is currently the third highest-level Magic armour in the game (behind Sea singer's robes and Tectonic armour), and the second-best power armour for Magic. The Virtus wand and book are of equal tier; they have no dual-wielded substitute, although they may otherwise be compared to the chaotic staff.

Wearing any piece of Torva, Pernix, or Virtus armours, or wielding a zaryte bow or Ascension crossbow, will cause all factions of monsters in the God Wars Dungeon (aside from bosses) to be unaggressive. The Virtus wand and book do not offer any protection.

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

Degrading and repair
The set will break after 10 hours of combat. Its bonuses are not lost as it degrades; they remain constant throughout the ten hours. The percentage of an item's charge can be checked by right-clicking it and selecting 'check-charge'. Each individual item in the set can be repaired 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, which can be boosted, but not assisted.
