A female player in full Initiate armour with tasset.

Initiate armour can be obtained after completing the Recruitment Drive quest by buying it from Sir Tiffy Cashien in Falador. It requires 20 defence and 10 prayer to wear. This armour has the same stats as Mithril armour counterparts, but with a prayer bonus.

This set of armour cannot be made using the Smithing skill. Because of its low cost and high prayer bonus, players often use this set while training on Monkey Guards, Black Demons and Aberrant Spectres as an alternative to Barrows equipment while using the Protect from Melee Prayer due to its extremely high prayer bonus and the fact that Barrows equipment degrades over time (and is expensive to repair).

This armour is also necessary for achieving a medium Falador Task.

A full set of the armour can be stored in the Armour case of a Player-owned house.

Trivia

• As the set does not have a corresponding shield, the Falador shields are often used to make up for this, suggesting a natural match.
