There are two kinds of armor you can use in Runescape: those that get destroyed after sustaining damage and those that do not get destroyed. Degradable armor boasts of the best stats but is costly to maintain and keep using for a long time. You need a second set of armor that won’t need repairs; we call this non-degradable armor.

Each set is composed of three pieces—the helm, the body, and the legs. There are two ways to get these armor sets for your character: you can either craft them or earn a lot of coins to buy them. 

To craft them, you’re going to need the correct Crest from the Heart of Gielinor Dungeon then combine it with a Dormant Anima Core to create the armor you want. You’ll also need level 80 defense to wear them.

Anima Core of Zaros Armor Set

Melee players must get the Crest of Zaros by defeating Vindicta, then combine it with a Dormant Anima Core. The Anima Core of Zaros armor set has similar stats to the Torva but it doesn’t have bonuses to prayer and constitution.

Anima Core of Zamorak Armor Set

Ranged players must get the Crest of Zamorak by defeating the Twin Furies Nymora and Avaryss, then combine it with a Dormant Anima Core. The Anima Core of Zamorak armor set’s ranged and defensive stats are comparable to the Pernix gear, but it doesn’t have bonuses to prayer and life points.

Anima Core of Seren Armor Set

Magic players must get the Crest of Seren from Seren’s general Helwyr, then combine it with a Dormant Anima Core. The Anime Core of Seren armor set offers similar stats as the Virtus robes minus the bonuses to prayer and constitution.

If you prefer to buy these armor sets instead, you should prepare to spend the following amount of coins:

  • Anime Core of Zaros Armor Set – 115,251,490 Coins
  • Anime Core of Zamorak Armor Set – 29,195,236 Coins
  • Anime Core of Seren Armor Set – 80,677,133 Coins

And there you have it for the best Non-Degradeable Armor in the beloved MMORPG. Make sure you get these as soon as you can so you won’t have to worry about repairing your armor from time to time.
