Dungeoneering/Equipment

There are 11 tiers of weapons and armours accessible in the Dungeoneering skill. A player is limited by combat requirements as stated by their skill levels and not their Dungeoneering skill level in order to use certain tiers of armours and weapons. All of the armour in Dungeoneering shows Jagex's attempt to re-balance the combat triangle. The armours and weapons are stronger in stats to weapons outside of Daemonheim, but carry much more negative bonuses, especially against unexpected classes (magic robes will incur ranged and melee accuracy penalty, but melee gloves carry strength bonus which potentially encourages full melee suit incombat). There are no on-click special attacks for all the weapons. Only special weapons and armours have passive special feats.

In comparison, non-Dungeoneering magic and ranged armour generally do not have attack penalties for melee combat, while mage or range Dungeoneering armours do have melee attack penalties, making mixed sets a severe compromise.

As Tier 11 items are only dropped by bosses, and each boss only drops certain kind of equipment, there are some Tier 11 items unavailable including: Primal longsword, Primal spear, Primal 2h sword, Primal platebody, Celestial robe top and Sagittarian body.

'''NOTE: You cannot boost any of your combat levels using potions to be able to wield any armour OR weapons! It is best to sell the resource or item when you get it until you get the required level.

Melee Armour
There are 11 tiers of Melee armour that players may wear depending on their Defence level. Each tier set consists of a platebody/chainbody, plateskirt/platelegs, boots, gauntlets, kiteshield, and a full helmet.

Melee Weapons
There are 11 tiers of melee weapons, which players can equip depending on their Attack level (the mauls do not have an Attack level requirement but instead have a Strength level requirement).

Certain floors in the dungeon have weaknesses against weapon types
The higher level players in the game, with 50+ Dungeoneering, usually bind a high level spear (tier 9/10) and a high levelled platebody. Spears are the best choice of weapon as they have high attack and strength bonus and you can switch between all different attack styles, depending on what you are attacking.

Corresponding Items
Many of the items in Daemonheim can be confusing to use, but most of them are similar in terms of usage to those in the "outside world." These are based on weapon and armour requirements: skill requirements to gather (e.g. Woodcutting and Mining) are different.
