How do pvp items and corrupt pvp items work?

I don't truely understand how they degrade can anyone explain to me please?

 

degrade after 30 minutes of being equipped

 

@wmoke thats not right

The corrupt items crumble to dust (degrade) after 15 minutes of being equipped.

The non corrupt pvp items crumble after 1 hour of being equipped

So its reccomended to use this like a 2h

 

Ok cool guy and they changed noncoreupt to just Being worn? I remember when it first came out it wa just if it was in combat

 

Corrupt items only last 30 minutes of wearing+attacking, non-corrupt last for 1 hour of combat

 

its 15 minutes for corrupt look here http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Corrupt_vesta's_longsword -

And yea it changes to degrading after just being worn, so you wont be able to sell it back.

 

non corrupt lasts 1 hour of COMBAT not bieng worn.

 

Giving 2 examples:

- Corrupt Dragon: degrades into DUST after 30 mins of EQUIPMENT
- Gravite: degrades and UNUSABLE after 10 hours of COMBAT
