Buy RS3 Black plateskirt

Description

The Black plateskirt is melee tank armour in RuneScape 3. It goes in the legs slot and needs level 25 to wear. It is a free-to-play item that is tradeable, equipable, and noteable.

This plateskirt gives 83.8 armour and a 375 life points bonus. It also cuts damage a small amount, with 0.5% less damage from monsters and 1.3125% less damage in PvP. Its stats match black platelegs, so players can pick the style they like best.

The plateskirt can be disassembled for parts. It gives 7.5 disassembly XP and can produce Cover parts, Deflecting parts, Plated parts, Strong components, and Protective components.

Trimmed and gold versions come from level 2 Treasure Trails. They have the same stats as the plain version, and free players can use them too. There are also heraldic versions with a special design, like the black plateskirt (h2). These match the plain skirt in stats and level. The heraldic set can be stored in a treasure chest in a player-owned house.

This is a solid pick for low-level melee training in free-to-play. It pairs well with other black armour pieces for a full set.
