Proselyte armour can be obtained after completing the Slug Menace quest from Sir Tiffy Cashien in Falador. The quest is a requirement for wearing the set, along with 30 Defence and 20 Prayer. It has the same stats as its mithril armour counterpart (except for the Prayer bonus).

The armour consists of only three pieces of plate armour, offering either legs (cuisse) or a skirt (tasset). Proselyte armour, when combined with Dragon rider gloves, Dragon rider boots, Illuminated god books, Explorer's ring, Amulet of fury and Completionist cape, will give the highest Prayer bonus amongst melee armour. This is due to the fact that a set of full Verac's armour (+18) gives a higher Prayer bonus in total, but includes a two-handed weapon. Akrisae's armour (+24) is also higher, and has a Prayer regenerate effect similar to Guthans Lifepoints regeneration.

Proselyte armour is also a popular substitute for more expensive armour as it provides reasonably good Defence bonuses and offers a notable Prayer bonus.

A full set of the armour can be stored in the Armour case of a Player-owned house.

Trivia Edit

  • When Proselyte armour first came out, Jagex made the mistake of making it a free-to-play item. Free players could obtain Proselyte armour from another player through trade, but not wear it.
  • Upon being graphically updated, the armour glitched when a player Rested. It will also glitch when certain emotes are performed.
  • When examining a green-plumed white knight, it is described as a white knight acolyte. This implies there is a rank above Proselyte, and if a yellow-plumed knight is examined, it is described as a proselyte. A blue-plumed knight is described as a white knight partisan, which is presumably the highest rank. Sir Tiffy further supports the idea of higher ranks by saying that he can only sell a player up to Proselyte armour upon completion of The Slug Menace.
  • Unlike most melee armours with the typical 'metallic' model, wearing Proselyte armour has no effect on the arrow-gathering ability of Ava's Attractor, suggesting that it may not be made out of metal.
  • The in-game Prayer guide includes 'Proselyte plateskirt' instead of 'Proselyte tasset', but for the Defence skill guide it says 'Proselyte tasset'. The RuneScape Grand Exchange guide on the website also says 'Proselyte tasset', not 'Proselyte plateskirt'.
  • Various pieces of this set are used in certain situations that require prayer for prolonged periods of time.
  • Interestingly, the set does not have a corresponding shield (just like the Initiate armour set); the Falador shields are often used to make up for this.
  • The biblical term Proselyte refers to a convert from Paganism to Judaism in the New Testament.
  • If one equips a shield with the Proselyte armour, the armour appears to be brighter than without one.
  • When a player wears a skillcape while have Proselyte armour equipped, the armour is seen to stick out through the skillcape by the neck.
