Torva armour | OSRS Index

Torva armour is a set of equipment named after the Zarosian warrior Torva requiring level 80 Defence to equip. The individual armour pieces are obtainable only as rewards from Nex.

The pieces of armour are dropped in a broken state, and must be repaired using Bandosian components made by breaking down Bandos chestplates and tassets. Breaking down the components can only be performed at the Ancient Forge within the God Wars Dungeon's Ancient Prison.

Torva armour has the highest strength bonus out of all strength boosting armour, alongside reasonable melee and ranged defence.

Sanguine torva

Torva armour pieces can be cosmetically enhanced via the ancient blood ornament kit into sanguine torva armour. This requires the player to have defeated the awakened versions of Vardorvis, The Leviathan, The Whisperer, and Duke Sucellus at least once. The kit has unlimited uses, though converting a piece of torva armour into its sanguine variant requires an additional 20,000 blood runes.

Historical

Torva armour was one of the original rewards from Nex upon its release in RuneScape 2, along with Virtus robes and Pernix armour; the robes would later be obtainable in Old School RuneScape as drops from The Forgotten Four after completion of Desert Treasure II - The Fallen Empire.

Compared to Old School RuneScape's version of the set, the original set had several differences:

Having the armour equipped made all factions in the God Wars Dungeon unaggressive, rather than just Zarosian NPCs.
The armour lasted for 15 hours in combat before needing to be repaired, and each piece of the set boosted Hitpoints by a certain amount, equal to 40 Hitpoints:

RuneScape 2 (pre-EoC) stats
	Hitpoints boost	Base repair cost	Skill requirements
Torva full helm	6.6	500,000	80 80 80
Torva platebody	20	2,000,000
Torva platelegs	13.4	1,000,000

The armour had the following bonuses:

Appearance

The appearance of Torva armour was graphically updated on 3 August 2023, as it was believed to have clashed with the "simple and bold aesthetics" of Old School's art style. The level of detail of the original was designed for the larger world scale of RuneScape, and thus was believed to have appeared "cluttered and out-of place".

A non-trivial number of players disagreed with said change, mostly due to nostalgia towards its iconic appearance in its original release in RuneScape 2 in 2011. As such, unobtainable variants of the full helm, platebody, and platelegs were released as a compromise to allow the third party client RuneLite to use the assets for various plugins which changed the appearance of the player character (such as Fashionscape and Weapon/Gear/Animation Replacer), although other players would not be able to see said player overriding their appearance:
