'''Torva armour''' is a five-pieced [[Degradation|degradable]] melee armour set which may be obtained as a drop from [[Nex]] in the [[Zaros]] themed [[God Wars Dungeon]] expansion, first mentioned on [[3 January]] [[2011]]{{CiteNews |author=Mod Mark |url=http://services.runescape.com/m=news/behind-the-scenes---january-3 |title=Behind the Scenes - January |newsdate=1 January 2010 |date=16:18, May 4, 2012 (UTC)|name=bts }} and released on [[10 January]] [[2011]]{{CiteNews |author=Mod Chris L |url=http://services.runescape.com/m=news/god-wars-dungeon---the-ancient-prison |title=God Wars Dungeon - The Ancient Prison |newsdate=10 January 2010 |date=16:18, May 4, 2012 (UTC)}}. The Torva melee armour set has a requirement of level 80 [[Defence]], 80 [[Constitution]], and 80 [[Strength]] to equip. It possesses the highest defensive stats for any armour set outside of the Dungeoneering armour sets{{NamedRef|bts}}.

This armour also has a special effect. Each piece of the set boosts the wearer's maximum [[Constitution|life points]]. In total, the full Torva set boosts a player's life points by 450. This special effect also increases the amount of life points healed by [[Saradomin brew]]s and the healing aura [[Special moves|special move]] of the [[unicorn stallion]], as the effects of such items depend on a player's maximum number of life points when calculating how much they heal.

All pieces of the armour set are dropped exclusively by [[Nex]]. In addition to their individual effects, having any Torva, [[Pernix]], or [[Virtus]] item equipped counts as a god item for all four factions in God Wars Dungeon, causing all members of the warring factions to become passive to the player. However, the armour does not cause the God Wars bosses or their body guards to become docile towards the player.

==Degrading and repair==
The largest drawback to this armour set is that it degrades after 10 hours of combat. The pieces do not degrade in increments, rather they retain their stats throughout the ten hours and then immediately drop to zero. The amount of time remaining is recorded in-game in increments of one percent. This percentage can be checked by right-clicking the armour piece and selecting 'check-charge' while it is either in your inventory or equipped. Each individual item in the set has a charge value that must be replenished either at [[Bob's Brilliant Axes]] or at an [[armour stand]] in a [[player-owned house]]. Repair costs at an armour stand decrease linearly based on the player's [[Smithing]] level. The cost is exactly half with a Smithing level of 100. Boosts such as the Smithing skillcape work.

Torva armour could be repaired for a small price if the piece has degraded slightly, but not enough to drop the percentage to below 100% since an[[Update:Patch Notes (13 March 2012)| update]] on [[13 March]] [[2012]].

==Trivia==
*"Torva" is Latin for "savage", "grim", "fierce", or "wild"{{CiteGeneral |url=http://catholic.archives.nd.edu/cgi-bin/lookup.pl?stem=Torvus&ending= |title=Torvus |accessdate=2011-01-18|work=Latin Dictionary and Grammar Aid |publisher=University of Notre Dame |quote=torvus -a -um [savage , grim, fierce].| date=16:21, May 4, 2012 (UTC) }}.
*The Torva armour looks quite similar to the armour of Lord Sulla on the front page of the book <i>RuneScape: Betrayal at Falador</i>.
*This item, along with the other Ancient Armour pieces, originally had a glitch which did not allow them to be traded even after being fixed. This has since been fixed.
*[[Ancient warrior]]s wear a light brown version of this.
*[[Max]] can be seen wearing parts of this armour.
*In the promotional video for the return of free trade and the wilderness, some players could be seen wearing torva armour even though it had not been released. The video was uploaded on 10 December 2010 which is about a month before it came out.
*Torva platebody had a backpack update which causes it to look different in inventory
*The Torva armour, along with many other armours, received a graphical rework on [[6 March]] [[2012]]. The other ancient armour sets (namely, Pernix and Virtus) did not receive a graphical rework with this update.
*The lowest combat level possible to wield torva armour is 66 with all strength, defence and constitution at level 80 and prayer, summoning, attack, range and magic at level 1
*Whenever Nex drops a piece of Torva, [[Pernix armour|Pernix]], or [[Virtus armour]], a [[Server Wide Announcements|server-wide announcement]] is broadcast to all players currently logged into that particular world.
