Black equipment

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 members only and has a slightly higher Prayer bonus than that of black equipment.

Black items cannot be smithed.

Black weapons require an Attack level of 10 to wield.

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.

Elite black armour can obtained by killing Elite Black Knight during and after While Guthix Sleeps. It has slightly higher stats than regular black armour and—when the full set is equipped—will remove the aggressiveness of monsters inside the Black Knight Catacombs.

It has the same prayer bonus as white proselyte armour, but is defensively equivalent to mithril rather than adamant armour.

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.
