Varrock armour 2

Varrock armour 2 is the reward given to the players upon completion of the Varrock Diary medium tasks by Reldo. When worn, they provide helpful bonuses to mining and smithing. If lost, they can be re-acquired by speaking with Reldo. Its stats are similar to an Iron platebody, with an additional +3 to slash and crush defence.

Effects

 * Chance of smelting 2 bars at once when smelting ores up to and including mithril in the exclusive Edgeville furnace. Message: The magic of the Varrock armour enables you to smelt 2 bars at the same time. If smelting iron ore with a ring of forging, only one bar will count. This allows rings of forging to last longer before melting.


 * Chance of Smithing at a slightly faster rate. Message: The Varrock armour allows you to smith the item slightly faster. Smithing mithril bars the rate is approximately 9.4%; for iron bars approximately 11.4%.


 * Chance of Mining two ores at once when Mining ores up to and including mithril. If two ores are mined at once, the player gets experience for both ores. Message: The Varrock armour allows you to mine an additional ore. When mining coal the rate is approximately 10.2%. When mining gold the rate is approximately 10.67%. This stacks with the Shooting Star reward and concentrated coal or gold rocks effects of possibly mining an additional ore, making it possible to mine up to four ores at once when all three effects are activated at the same time.


 * The probability of receiving a piece of the Skull Sceptre is greatly increased when wearing this, and the charges on the sceptre are doubled when it's assembled while wearing this armour.


 * Zaff will sell players up to 32 battlestaves per day instead of the usual 8.

Trivia

 * One of the figures on the Emote interface appears to be wearing Varrock armour 2 or something similar, even though the armour was introduced after he was.
 * The theoretical value of the armour is 1gp according to the items kept on death screen. Alchemising it, however, will give the player nothing.
 * This piece of armour looks similar to the 3rd Age Platebody
