There are two ways to repair Ancient armour. Items lose 20% charge if reclaimed from a gravestone after dying. Additionally, Ancient armour may only be traded if fully repaired or fully degraded. The remaining charges of Ancient armour can be checked by right-clicking it and selecting 'check-charge'. Equipment received from Nex is fully repaired and can be used for 60,000 charges of combat (though it degrades by 2 charges per hit, making the minimum time 5 hours) until it degrades completely and requires repair before it can be used again it does not suffer in performance as it degrades from fully repaired to fully degraded. As of 7 January 2014, the wand and book degrade with use in a similar fashion to other Virtus equipment, and will also protect against the God Wars Dungeon followers.Īncient armour degrades as it is used. Only the Zarosian faction and the generals (and their bodyguards) of each faction will still be aggressive. Wearing any piece of Torva, Pernix, or Virtus armours, or wielding virtus wand or virtus book or a zaryte bow, will cause all followers of non-Zarosian factions in the God Wars Dungeon to become unaggressive. The two-handed chaotic staff and attuned crystal staff are also of the same tier. The Virtus wand and book are also tier 80, on par with the similarly dual-wielded Attuned crystal wand and Attuned crystal orb. The armour is the Magic counterpart to Torva armour and Pernix armour, which are respectively Melee and Ranged sets.Ī similar set of armour is the Anima Core of Seren set, which is somewhat cheaper than Virtus and has similar stats.Īs tier 80 equipment, Virtus armour is currently the fifth highest-level Magic armour in the game (behind seasinger's, Refined Anima Core of Seren, tectonic, and Primeval equipment), and the third-best Magic power armour. 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. It was first mentioned on 3 January 2011 and released into the game on 10 January 2011. 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.
