''This article is about the reward items obtained from [[Stealing Creation]]. For the items created in the [[minigame]], see [[creation kiln]].''

'''Sacred clay armour''' is a reward bought from [[Stealing Creation]] [[minigame]] with points earned by playing the game. While wearing any charged piece of sacred clay armour or weapons, any amount of experience you receive in [[Attack]], [[Strength]], [[Defence]], [[Magic]], [[Ranged]] and [[Constitution]] will be doubled.

Sacred clay items have 'charges', which is consumed as the player receives combat experience. When the items run out of charge, they will not yield the double experience bonus, and will not be able to transform until they are recharged. Each piece will give an experience boost until about 24,450 bonus experience is received, with time being irrelevant. Players will always get 24,450 bonus experience per piece no matter how many pieces they equip, but if you are wearing more than once piece, the bonus experience will degrade the charges of all pieces at the same time but divided by the amount of charged pieces the player is wearing. This means that wearing three fully charged pieces of sacred clay equipment for the whole training time will make them degrade three times as slow, without affecting the amount of experience each of them gives (24,450).

With Constitution receiving double experience aswell, one training a combat skill such as [[Strength]] will receive 18350 bonus experience in that skill before his piece of equipment degrades.

In order to maximize the efficiency of training, it is recommended to use a rotation method: wear one piece of sacred clay armour at a time while using a regular weapon like an [[abyssal whip]] (note this is only recommended for strength armour such as Bandos, helm of Neitiznot). In this way, you can have the high bonuses of your regular equipment, while still gaining the double experience bonus. However if you use a full set, it will all degrade at a divided rate, but you still have the lower bonuses.

You do not need to have a corresponding armour piece with whatever skill you are training in order to receive the double experience bonus. For example, you could be wearing a sacred clay coif (ranged) and train melee, while still getting the double experience bonus.

You can switch between each type by operating them. This can be done an infinite number of times, granted you have any percent of charge left. Operating one piece of armour while wearing a full set will cause all the pieces to transform. They are also remarkably lightweight, at only 2 kg each.

In addition, secred clay armour is extremely light (the weight of the melee set can be fully counteracted by [[Boots of lightness]] and a [[Spotted cape]]).

*Level 40 [[Defence]] is required to wield the melee armour, and 40 [[Attack]] is needed for the scimitar.
*Level 40 [[Magic]] and Defence is required to wear/wield the mage armour and staff (sans defence requirement).
*Level 40 [[Ranged]] and Defence is required to wear/wield the range armour and bow (sans defence requirement).
*Level 65 Defence is required to wield any of the shields.

It is less expensive (point-wise) to repair your gear, rather than buying multiple sets. Recharging a piece only costs 20 points whereas buying a piece costs over 20 points, with the exception of shields where both buying and recharging cost 200 points.

The set consists of [[sacred clay helmet]], [[sacred clay platebody]], [[sacred clay platelegs]], and [[sacred clay scimitar]].

Sacred clay melee equipment stats are equal to full [[Rune equipment#Armour|rune armour]] and [[rune scimitar]].
Note that you do not need to complete [[Dragon Slayer]] to wear Sacred clay platebody which is required for wearing a [[Rune platebody]]. Since Sacred Clay pieces do not change weight when they transform, this set is extremely light for melee armour, just 8 kg for the whole set. These facts make it an appealing alternative to Rune armour for some players.

The set consists of [[Sacred clay staff]], [[Sacred clay hat]], [[Sacred clay robe top]], and [[Sacred clay robe bottom]].

Sacred clay mage equipment stats are equal to [[Mystic robes]] and a [[Mystic staff]].
Note that you need 40 [[defence]], 20 levels more than that required for mystic armour, however, the double exp bonus makes up for the time taken to play the activity.

The experience boost does not work with [[Alchemy]] spells such as [[High Level Alchemy]]. In fact, the experience boost works with other non-combat spells such as [[Plank Make]].

[[Sacred clay hat]] is mainly used for fast xp with [[Vulnerability]], [[Enfeeble]] and [[Stun]]. Wielding negative bonus in magic and [[sacred clay hat]] you can yield up to 180k xp an hour using Stun.

There was an update in which players' faces were made more 'realistic'. There is a glitch while wearing the [[Sacred clay hat]] in which the player's face is like it was before the update.

The set consists of [[Sacred clay bow]], [[Sacred clay coif]], [[Sacred clay body]] and [[Sacred clay chaps]].

Sacred clay range equipment stats are equal to they normal counterparts, that require a level of 40 (with the exception for the [[coif]]s stats; level 20): [[Green dragonhide armour]] and the [[Yew longbow]].
Note that you do need 40 [[defence]] level but do not need to have done [[Dragon Slayer]] for the body which is required for wearing a [[green d'hide body|green dragonhide body]].

It is a common method to train range with just the Sacred Clay '''coif''' in combination with [[red chinchompa]]s, in order to gain massive amounts of experience in a short amount of time. Experience from the [[dwarf multicannon]] is doubled as well.

==Shields==
Released on [[23 August]] [[2011]], sacred clay shields come in three varieties - melee, ranged and magic. It should be noted that the name implies its strength '''against''' that type of attack.

The shields do not give double experience like the other equipment. They lose charge when they defend from attacks, but can be interchanged with each other freely. Once the charge has been depleted, the shield turns into a [[sacred clay shield (inactive)]], which has no bonuses. Buying and repairing a shield costs 200 Stealing Creation points.

The melee shield has good melee defence bonuses, coming approximately halfway between the [[dragon sq shield]] and the [[dragonfire shield]], but with poor ranged and magic defence. The magic shield has the same magic defence bonus as the [[spectral spirit shield]], but with much poorer ranged and melee defence. The ranged shield has comparable ranged defence to the dragonfire shield, but significantly poorer magic and melee defence.

==Trivia==
*When Stealing Creation first came out two players could take out runes from their inventories and exchange it with one another for many points and then log out. Players could then get over 10 million stealing creation points in one game. Jagex fixed this by adding a new rule so that only a certain amount of items could be taken out whilst in negative points.

*For a while, the double experience effects of the armour applied in free-to-play worlds.

*If one were to open the defence information window and click on the equipment tab, it would show that the Sacred clay melee armour is available for free players, even though it is only available to members. This has been fixed.

*There was a glitch that would cause the player to wield a shield and a Sacred clay bow at the same time.

*There is a glitch where if you are to wear Sacred clay coif or hat and transform it while wearing you can change your hairstyle.

*There was also a glitch where the sacred clay helmet, when requesting it be transformed into a magic hat, would instead transform into a magic robe bottom. The one way to bypass this glitch would be to operate the helmet twice while wearing it, turning it into first a ranged coif, then into the magic hat. This was fixed three days after the original release.

*The Sacred clay mage staff has a strength bonus of +50 and it has no attack or strength requirements. This means that anyone with 40 mage can have a strong [[Melee]] weapon. This is similar to the [[Tzhaar-ket-om|Obsidian maul]] which allow people with just 60 strength to wield a strong weapon.

*The Sacred clay mage staff has a higher strength bonus (+50) than that of the Sacred clay scimitar (+44).

*When the items run out of charge, they stay in the form they were previously in, and retain all their former combat abilities. They simply cannot switch to different armour types, and they give no experience bonus. This means that you can still have the sacred clay armour, strong as rune, but very lightweight.

*When Stealing Creation was first released, the Armour and Weapons' had their charges measured by remaining transformations. Each Stealing Creation item had eight transformations before needing to be recharged. This was quickly changed by Jagex to the degrading system used today because the weapons and armour had rune stats, but only took a fraction of the time to obtain.

*If you had both a sacred helm and a sacred scimitar, when the helmet ran out of charge you could still transform it. If your weapon retained a charge and you transformed it, the helmet would also change. This has since been patched.

*A few days after the Stealing Creation activity came out you could go bald by changing the helmet when it was on your head.

*When a Bonus XP Weekend was active, the sacred clay items did not lose charges or give double the experience to any skill trained.
