Five Most Expensive Mage Armors in RuneScape

Being a Wizard is not enough if you still look poor with your armor.

Magic is the least preferred combat style in Runescape. It’s because the cost of each spell casted is expensive and sometimes wouldn’t worth the monster drop. However, if a player are a dedicated wizard, they may cast powerful spells such as Ice Barrage that could freeze up to 9 opponents within one spell for 20 seconds and hit them hard. Of course, most of the magic trainings are ‘money sinking’ and hence a high level wizard usually a player who’s rich.

By wearing an expensive Mage armor, you’ll gain recognition and impress other players. You’ll also gain a good stats bonuses and hence could stand even against the most barbaric opponent.

Here are they, sorted from the most expensive :

Third Age Mage Armor

This armor was once used by the Human Mage back in the Third Age during God Wars. They’re used by Powerful Wizards who defended their homeland against the rage of the Gods.

The wearer of this armor is so rare and you’ll be very lucky to spot a player who wear the full set of this armor.

The look of this armor partially resembles a labcoat in the modern world. However, if the set of this armor is worn in Runescape, you’ll get a high attention from other players there.

Requirements : 40 Defence and 65 Magic

Price : 135,400,000 coins

Where Found : Level 3 Treasure Trail (The odd is 1 out of 10,000)

Infinity Robes

Although this armor looks colorful, the wearer of this armor must have been through a lot of hard work to get this armor. It can only be received in Mage Training Arena after casted thousands of different expensive spells. That’s why the price of this armor is high.

The look of this armor resembles a high passion of a wizard who love every spell he casted.

Requirements : 50 Magic and 25 Defence

Price : 4,500,000 coins. If bought in Mage Training area : 1495 Telekinetic, 1695 Alchemist, 14700 Enchantment, and 1495 Graveyard Pizazz Points.

Where Found : Mage Training Arena

Ahrim’s Robe

This armor was once used by Ahrim, a powerful Saradomin Wizard who defended Morytania against Zamorakian Evil Armies. Although he has fallen, he and his brothers have hit a high enough casualty to the Zamorak Army and make the Chaos God himself trembled because of their strength. After his spirit enchanted by an unknown mage, he’s now guarding his own crypt against Zamorakian Raiders.

If the full set is worn (including the staff), there would be a chance of casting a special attack called Blighted Aura which will reduce the opponent’s strength. This is best used against melee opponent.

This armor slightly look evil and best worn along with other Zamorak equipments.

Requirements : 70 Magic and 70 Defence

Price : 4,300,000 coins

Where Found : Barrow Minigame (The chance of getting Barrow armor piece is 1 out of 15)

Gold-trimmed Blue Wizard Robes

This is not a good mage armor as it’s only give a very low stats bonus. The bonus stats is exactly the same as the wizard robe set that’s worth about 10,000 coins for each set. The high price of this armor is affected by the high demand of free players who want to look like a rich wizard.

The look of this armor is shiny and will attract other player’s attention.

Requirements : None

Price : 2,700,000 coins

Where Found : Level 1 Treasure Trail

Zuriel’s Robes

This is one of the Ancient’s Equipment that’s worn back in the Second Age. Like other Ancient Equipment, it’s acquired as a rare drop from killing a player in PvP world and will vanish after 1 hour of combat.

Some extremely wealthy player wear it even when not in combat simply to showoff wealth. This is because he wouldn’t mind losing 2 millions within an hour.

Requirements : 78 Magic and 78 Defence

Price : 2,200,000 coins

Where Found : Level 1 Treasure Trail

Final Word

Those are the five most expensive mage armor in Runescape. The one that’s actually gives the best bonus is Zuriel’s equipment. However, since it will vanish after about one hour, Ahrim would be far better choice for long-term training.

For those who doesn’t like degradable mage armor, Lunar Equipment is good since it’s the third best mage armor in Runescape and it’s not degradable at all. However, it’s not listed here because it’s not tradable and can only be acquired during or after a quest Lunar Diplomacy.

    Runecrafting robes are also good Mage Armour, however are not tradeable.

    They provide good defence.

    Good guide though.

    Runecrafting Robes is one of the best Mage Armor in F2P. However, since it’s untradeable and bought with tokens, the price cannot be measured with coins and hence it’s not listed here. Thank you for your opinion!
