It’s our biggest equipment rework ever, featuring over 200 visually improved pieces of combat equipment covering a whole range of levels and combat styles for both male and female combatants! If you wear armour or wield a shield while engaging with your enemies, it’s probably being updated:


Warriors will see new, unique styles for armour sets all the way from black/white right up to dragon, and including Torva and Bandos armour. There are also new looks for the warrior, berserker and Neitiznot helms, the barbarian assault fighter’s torso and Varrock platebody.
Rangers get studded leather, regular and blessed dragonhide and Armadyl sets, as well as the Robin Hood hat and Ava’s equipment.
Mage gear updated includes all mystic robes, enchanted robes, infinity robes of all hues and Zuriel’s set.
We’ve reworked the Void Knight gear and Slayer helmet.

As part of our ongoing equipment rework, we’ve really tried to show the difference in defensive quality as the skill requirements rise. As seen in the Troll Warzone update, each set has an individual style, but it also adds genuine variety to the various trimmed, blessed and minigame-specific gear you’ll encounter while exploring the many facets of the game. Even the god-aligned equipment features its own unique touches, often influenced by your feedback in the forums, and from RuneFest, where we first showcased the amazing images of the improved dragon gear.


What's your ideas on this upcoming update?

Honestly I think what they've done with recent armour reworks were shit and I really don't have faith in the upcoming one. And with this one they're reworking way more sets.. I really don't look foward to this.
 
You can already get a sneak peak at some of the armour updates north of Falador.

Personally, I really dislike the Dragon armour and I'm on the fence about the Armadyl. I hope they don't butcher this one :(
 
My RS client became incredibly laggy after the last graphical update... hopefully this won't murder it.
 
Probably they aren't that bad , but we hope they don't make the client more laggy.
 
After the last armour update looking like crap, I couldn't imagine how this one would get any better.
The lag is also going to get way worse.

I actually really like ALL of the graphical improvements they made to the armor, aside from the lag I enjoyed the update :p
 
I didn't have anything against last gear update, lets just hope for something cool..
 
If it looks anything like the barrows graphical update, then, I'm going back to a RSPS.
 
There's a possibility that they spent more than 20 minutes on Photoshop this time around guys, think positive!
 
I actually really like the picture of the dragon set. I dislike the current graphics , but the upcoming ones look cool.

Yeah agreed, ^ Missing the old barrows scene in PKing.. Missing the level 3 with full iron armour that is easily identified not looking much like in full Dharok, I don't want this graphical update to happen. :( I miss RS
