Black equipment

A player with black armour equipped.

Black equipment is made from black metal. Black equipment is stronger than steel equipment, yet weaker than mithril equipment. As the name suggests, the equipment is black in colour. Black armour requires 10 Defence to wield, melee weapons require 10 Attack to wield and ranged weapons 10 Ranged. Black equipment is almost identical to white equipment, unlocked after the Wanted! quest. However, white equipment is member's only and has a slightly higher Prayer bonus than that of black equipment.

Black items cannot be smithed.

Weapons

Black weapons require an Attack level of 10 to wield.

Armour

Black armour is the fourth-lowest quality armour in the standard spectrum of metal armours (bronze to dragon). Black armour requires 10 Defence to wear.

It is not tradeable.

Ornamental black armour, such as heraldic and trimmed, have the same bonuses as standard black armour. These can be obtained by completing easy Treasure Trails.

Note: Other players cannot trim or bless armour. Players claiming to do so are scammers.
