Armour/Melee armour

For a full list of items and their stats worn in the body slot, see this table.Melee armour, used in the Attack, Strength, and Defence skills, is generally made out of some kind of metal. There is a "default" (regular) series of armour, consisting of bronze, iron, steel, black/white, mithril, adamant, rune, and dragon (in ascending order of the quality of the armour). For each piece of armour, there is a counterpart made for each other type of metal. Most of these can be made from the Smithing skill, with the exception of black and white armours. The majority of dragon equipment cannot be smithed, with a few exceptions listed below.All armour items not made from those metal types can be considered "special" and generally cannot be made from the Smithing skill, but rather sold by an NPC or obtained as a monster drop. Some players may consider these more desirable, as they often provide higher bonuses than other forms of armour.Contents1 Melee armour sets2 Other armour pieces3 Set items3...
