Wicked robes

The wicked robes.

Wicked robes are a reward from the Runespan, as announced in the April 2012 Behind the Scenes. They permanently increase the capabilities of the Wicked hood, and are not necessary to wear to use their enhancing capabilities.

The wicked robes consist of:

• Wicked hood
• Wicked robe top
• Wicked legs
• Wicked cape

A full set costs 25,000 Runespan points to obtain from Wizard Finix's Runecrafting Shop, excluding the wicked hood, which costs 175 more points, but can be obtained for free in Burthorpe.

For each piece of the wicked robes obtained (excluding the wicked hood), an additional 25 rune/pure essence can be withdrawn and 1 additional set of runes can be withdrawn from the hood each day.

Therefore, a full set of wicked robes gives 175 rune/pure essence withdrawal and 4 (or 5 if the hood has consumed the elemental talisman) rune withdrawals each day. Additionally, once you own the full set an extra altar teleport is added, increasing the total number of daily teleports to 3. This extra teleport does not come from any one piece and it can only be gained by purchasing the entire set. An additional hood does not need to be purchased if a player already owns the free hood.

While resting to restore run energy, the wicked robes act as if you are listening to a musician. This effect only works while wearing the full set (Also works without hood equipped).

Except for wicked hood, the wicked robes also act as a weight-reducing clothing when worn, making the wicked robes ideal for training skills and/or doing activities that rely on running around a lot. The three pieces together give a negative weight bonus -24kg.

Despite being "wicked", they can be worn on the holy island of Entrana.

With the exception of the wicked hood, none of the items in this set appears under a player's gravestone and are therefore lost on death unless they are a protected item. Other than to purchase them again with Runespan points, there is currently no way to reclaim these lost items .

If one loses pieces that they have received, they can reobtain the hood and still get the same amount of essence teleports and runes that they received previously. If the player has re-coloured any pieces of the robe set, upon death, the robes retain their colour.

The whole set may be re-coloured from Wizard Finix for 2000 Runespan points. Esteem bought from the shop can also add a symbol to the robes.

Important note: when choosing to re-colour the wicked robes, the player should be wearing the whole robes set; as Wizard Finix only recolours the items that the player is wearing. A common mistake is for players to purchase the whole set and re-colour it right away while still wearing the free wicked hood (but not any of the robes), it would result in re-colouring only the old hood and none of the robes set. Also note that if you have re-coloured your robes, logging into a free to play world with them equipped may reset the colours to the default colour. It is unknown if you must enter the Runespan for this to occur or not.

Trivia

• The level requirements of the Wicked cape and legs can be seen as rather useless. Indeed in order to obtain enough Runespan points for any of the two items individually, one would naturally reach the level requirement prior to getting enough Runespan points.
• If trying to get the minimum amount of experience and the highest amounts of points, one would do the following (the following calculations do not account for experience given when unsuccessful at siphoning nor the runes used to travel between islands):
  • Start by siphoning mind esslings from level 1-5 acquiring 7 points and 39 mind runes.
  • Continue by siphoning water essling from level 5-9 acquiring 14 points and 46 water runes.
  • Follow by siphoning earth esslings from level 9-14 acquiring 31 points and 78 earth runes.
  • Then siphon fire esslings from level 14-20 acquiring 69 points (1 from multiples) and 136 fire runes.
  • Siphon body esshounds from level 20-27 acquiring 159 points and 228 body runes.
  • Siphon cosmic esshounds from level 27-35 acquiring 429 points and 477 cosmic runes.
  • Siphon chaos esshounds from level 35-40 acquiring 529 points and 481 chaos runes.
  • Siphon astral esshounds from level 40-44 acquiring 1,211 points (1 from multiples) and 931 astral runes.
  • Siphon nature esshounds from level 44-54 acquiring 3,291 points and 2,194 nature runes.
  • Siphon law esshounds from level 54-65 acquiring 9,415 points and 5,539 law runes.
  • Siphon death esswraiths from level 65-77 acquiring 42,757 points and 17,103 death runes.
  • Siphon blood esswraiths from level 77-90 acquiring 158,853 points and 52,951 blood runes.
  • Finally, siphon soul esswraiths from level 90-99 acquiring 252,662 points (1 from multiples) and 72,189 soul runes.
