Pernix armour is a set of degradable high level Ranged armour that requires 80 Ranged, 80 Defence, and 80 Constitution to wear. It was first mentioned on 3 January 2011^[1] and released into the game on 10 January 2011^[2]. Pernix armour pieces may only be obtained as rare drops from Nex, the boss of the Zarosian stronghold of the God Wars Dungeon, the Ancient Prison. It is the Ranged companion armour set to Virtus equipment and Torva armour, which are Magic and melee sets, respectively.

As level 80 equipment, Pernix armour is currently the second highest-level Ranged armour in the game, behind Death lotus armour.

Wearing any piece of Pernix, Torva, or Virtus armours, or wielding a zaryte bow, will cause all factions of monsters in the God Wars Dungeon (aside from bosses) to be unaggressive.

Pernix armour is named and modelled after Pernix, an elite ranger who served in Zaros' army during the Second Age.

Degrading and repairEdit

The largest drawback to this armour set is that it degrades after 10 hours of combat. The pieces do not degrade in increments, rather they retain their stats throughout the ten hours and then immediately drop to 0. The amount of time remaining is recorded in-game in increments of 1%. This percentage can be checked by right-clicking the armour piece and selecting 'check-charge' while it is either in your inventory or equipped. Each individual item in the set has a charge value that must be replenished either at Bob's Brilliant Axes or at an armour stand in a player-owned house. Repair costs at an armour stand decrease linearly based on the player's Smithing level, which can be boosted, but not assisted.

Set effect (Before 30th april 2013)Edit

In addition, a set effect is activated when wearing all of the above pieces of equipment. Wearing these pieces of equipment will yield an extra 23 damage in addition to the regular damage bonus from each individual piece. The total damage bonus from wearing all pieces of Pernix armour is therefore 74.

Armour effect (After 30th april 2013)Edit

As with all power armours wearing a full set grants a total 10% damage boost, this is not a set effect and is provided individually amongst the set pieces. This damage boost is equivalent to a 'fastest' weapon of the same tier (level 80).

• Body - 3.5%
• Chaps - 2.5%
• Coif - 2.0%
• Gloves - 1%
• Boots - 1%

TriviaEdit

• "Pernix" is Latin for "swift", "nimble", or "agile".^[3]
• Ancient rangers in the Ancient Prison wear a purple and gold version of this.
• FightpitPKer, a player spoof, wears a full set of this armour during The Elder Kiln quest.
• Although Torva was updated with many armours on 6th March 2012, neither Pernix or Virtus were. Pernix received a graphical update on 5 September 2012.
• Whenever Nex drops a piece of Torva, Pernix, or Virtus armour, a server wide announcement is broadcast to all players currently logged into that particular world.
