Virtus equipment is a set of degradable high-level Magic equipment that requires 80 Defence and 80 Constitution to wear, and 80 Magic to wield. It was first mentioned on 3 January 2011[1] and released into the game on 10 January 2011[2]. Virtus armour and weapons may only be obtained as rare drops from Nex, the boss of the Zarosian stronghold of the God Wars Dungeon, the Ancient Prison. The armour is the Magic counterpart to Torva armour and Pernix armour, which are respectively Melee and Ranged sets.
As tier 80 equipment, Virtus armour is currently the third highest-level Magic armour in the game (behind Seasinger's robes and Tectonic armour), and the second-best power armour for Magic. The Virtus wand and book are also tier 80, on par with the similarly dual-wielded Attuned crystal wand and Attuned crystal orb. The 2-handed Chaotic staff is also of the same tier.
Wearing any piece of Torva, Pernix, or Virtus armours, or wielding virtus wand or virtus book or a zaryte bow or Ascension crossbow, will cause all factions of monsters in the God Wars Dungeon (aside from Zarosians and bosses) to be unaggressive. As of 7 January 2014, the wand and book degrade with use in a similar fashion to other Virtus equipment, and will also protect against the God Wars Dungeon followers.
Degrading and repair
The set will break after 10 hours of combat. Its bonuses are not lost as it degrades; they remain constant throughout the ten hours. The percentage of an item's charge can be checked by right-clicking it and selecting 'check-charge'. Each individual item in the set can be repaired 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.

Item shards are obtained from certain monsters while having CoinShare on. When a rare drop is given by the monster, 120 item shards are divided up among the involved players and sent to their banks. 120 shards can then be combined to give the original item.
