'''White Knight equipment''' (also known as '''white equipment''') is a group of [[weapons]] and [[armour]] used by the [[White Knights]], available after completion of the [[Wanted!]] [[quest]]. To wield the weapons, players must have at least 10 [[Attack]], and to wear the armour, 10 [[Defence]]. This equipment offers the same bonuses as [[black equipment]], except for a +1 [[Prayer]] bonus. Due to the difficulty of obtaining it compared to its stats, it is mostly worn for appearance rather than use in combat.

White equipment cannot be made using the [[Smithing]] [[skill]] and instead must be bought from [[Sir Vyvin]] or another player. Buying a [[white 2h sword]] from the [[White Knight Armoury|shop]] is necessary to complete the [[Falador Diary#Elite|elite Falador Diary]].

The armour can be stored in the [[armour case]] of a [[player-owned house]] [[costume room]].

==Treasure Trails==
*Talking to Sir Vyvin while wearing a [[white platebody]] and [[white platelegs]] is a requirement for the [[Clue scroll (master)|master]] [[Treasure Trails/Guide/Cryptic clues|cryptic clue]]: ''Hopefully this set of armour will help you to keep surviving.''

==Knight rankings==
In order for the player to increase their ranking and unlock equipment items, they must kill a certain number of [[black knight]]s. The kills are only tracked after being deputised during [[Wanted!]], and 100 kills are received as a bonus for completing the quest.{{CiteTwitter|author=Mod Ash|url=https://twitter.com/JagexAsh/status/1290051534538059776|date=2 August 2020|archiveurl=https://archive.is/fOkS1|archivedate=3 August 2020|quote=It starts counting once you reach the bit of the quest where the QJ says "I should go and speak to Sir Tiffy for advice on finding this Solus character..." And you get a +100 bonus on it at the end of the quest.}} Even though the quest, as well as white equipment, is only for [[members]], [[Free-to-play|non-members]] are still able to increase their rank, provided their account has reached the point in the Wanted! quest where they must hunt down [[Solus Dellagar]].{{CiteTwitter|author=Mod Ash|url=https://twitter.com/JagexAsh/status/1505254630053359622|date=19 March 2022|archiveurl=https://archive.is/kMOQO|archivedate=19 May 2023|quote=Those counters do update on F2P worlds, but only for players who've actually started the Wanted quest, and got onto the hunt for Solus. Once the player's got that far, though, they could switch to F2P and rack up the KCs there.}}

[[Elite Dark Warrior|Elite Dark Warriors]], [[Elite Dark Ranger|Elite Dark Rangers]], and [[Elite Dark Mage|Elite Dark Mages]] are worth 6 black knight kills, and [[Elite Black Knight|Elite Black Knights]] are worth 12. Killing [[White Knight|white knights]] decreases the player's number by 1 per knight.

Players can check their rank by reading the Wanted! [[Quest List|quest journal]], with wordings of "I am currently a ''(Rank)'' White Knight with a kill score of XXX".

After reaching the rank of White Knight Master, killing white knights will no longer decrease your number of Black Knights killed.

When promoted to a new rank, the [[Chat Interface|chat interface]] displays the promotion: "Congratulations! You are now a White Knight ''(Rank)''!" There is no announcement, however, for being demoted or promoted again to a rank previously held.

'''Note:''' If a player gets demoted to "no rank" after killing enough white knights, [[Sir Vyvin]] will refuse to sell anything to them.

==Strategy==
[[File:Cannon_placement_killing_black_knights.png|thumb|250px|The safespot for using a cannon in the Black Knights' Base.]]
The fastest method to gain rank is to kill [[Elite Black Knight]]s in the [[Black Knight Catacombs]] with [[black chinchompa]]s and [[burst spells|burst]]/[[barrage spells]]. Using melee and ranged will be far cheaper, but slower. They only have 90 hitpoints, count as 12 black knight kills, and often drop doses of prayer, super attack, super strength, and range potions. Fighting them requires two combat styles since they reactively activate protection prayers based on your combat style, and getting into their base requires the [[Dark Squall robes]], [[elite black armour]], or an [[iron chainbody]] and [[bronze med helm]]. They also drop a significant amount of stackable jewellery items (noted jewellery, bolt tips, etc.), so killing these is slightly profitable. It is realistic to get from Novice to Master rank in one trip without leaving; there are multiple areas where you will only be attacked by melee and can therefore avoid all damage with prayer (if you opened the Solid Door shortcut in the quest, alternating kills on the elite black knights on either side of the next Solid Door will never be in the range of range or mage based enemies). Gear swaps, combat potions, and 6 to 10 [[prayer potion]]s will be enough to go from Novice to Master in one trip.

If switching combat styles is not desirable or resources aren't a consideration for gaining rank, a good location to kill [[Black Knight|black knights]] is in the [[Black Knights' Base]]. The area is [[single-way combat]], but [[Dwarf multicannon|cannons]] may attack multiple knights at once, provided the player is not being attacked, making [[safespot]]s useful for higher damage output. Place the cannon just east of the table in the middle of the room, then hide between the chairs on the eastern side of the table, where the knights will not be able to reach. Players should equip their most accurate gear to maximise the cannon’s accuracy. 

Alternatively, a cannon can be used to kill the black knights north-east of the [[Bone Yard]] in level 32 [[Wilderness]]. Since the area is [[Multicombat area|multicombat]], a safespot is not necessary. The knights will also be aggressive regardless of the player's combat level due to their location in the Wilderness, making this a good AFK option even if they player does not have access to a cannon. This area can be quite dangerous as there are multiple hotspots nearby, of which player-killers frequent. 

Although in level 42 Wilderness, the [[Lava Maze]] black knights may be more desirable for cannonless-players seeking a safer, and still AFK alternative to the previous method, since player activity is much lower. This method is slower as it is in single-way combat, and a cannon should not be used if safety is a priority. At the beginning of the maze there are 9 black knights, though many of these are dangerous to kill as they are within view of a teleport destination of the commonly used [[Burning amulet]]. If the player brings a knife or slash-weapon for the [[web]], just within the maze there are 3 black knights that spawn just after the path turns south.  If the player stands between them they will have no problem AFKing for long periods at a time, as the knights have a high aggression range and are aggressive towards the player regardless of their combat level. If the player only takes a burning amulet and a weapon with [[Slash weapons|Slash]], and ensure both are kept on death, they can allow themselves to die, then immediately teleport back to the Lava Maze using the amulet. 

If a player does not have access to a cannon or the resources to use one and does not mind potentially not having aggro, another option is the [[Black Knights' Fortress (location)|Black Knights' Fortress]], where two black knights spawn right next to an [[altar]], allowing for [[Protect from Melee]] to be prayed indefinitely. This is the best location for non-members.

Killing the [[Black knight (Port Sarim Jail)|black knight]] in the [[Port Sarim Jail]] does not contribute to the player's White Knight rank.

==Weapons==
'''White weapons''' require an [[Attack]] level of 10 to wield, with the exception of the [[white warhammer]], which requires 10 [[Strength]].

==Trivia==
*The number of kills required for each rank grows like the {{Wp|Fibonacci number|Fibonacci sequence}}.
*Players' ranks within the order are different from the ranks held by the White Knights themselves (visible by their helmets' plume colour). This is because [[Initiate armour|initiate]] and [[Proselyte armour|proselyte]] armour are a reward for completing the quests [[Recruitment Drive]] and [[The Slug Menace]], assigned by the [[Temple Knights|Temple Knight]] [[Sir Tiffy Cashien]].
*When compared to the armour of [[White Knight|white knights]], this armour has less shine, as it appears to not have been graphically updated alongside the NPC.
*Prior to the black knight kill score being added to the Wanted! quest journal, there was a 1/1001 chance that killing a black knight would increment this counter by a random amount between 1 and 50 inclusive.{{CiteTwitter|author=Mod Ash|url=https://twitter.com/JagexAsh/status/1659461004667789312|date=19 May 2023|archiveurl=https://archive.is/fKNHD|archivedate=19 May 2023|quote=Yes, that one. It had a 1/1001 chance of incrementing by a random amount between 1 & 50 inclusive "to mess up people's calculations", according to the comment. We took that out when adding the ability to see your kill count.}} According to a code comment left in the game's source files, this mechanic was intended as a "supah secret bonus random kill boost to mess up peoples calculations".{{CiteTwitter|author=Mod Ash|url=https://twitter.com/JagexAsh/status/869217631114600450|date=29 May 2017|archiveurl=https://archive.is/n30v3|archivedate=19 May 2023|quote=Funnily enough, the rank counter isn't trying to be accurate there.
