Passive effect

Equipment set effects are special effects that can be activated when a player wears a full set of specific armour. There are a huge number of equipment sets within RuneScape, and not all sets provide a bonus effect when worn.

It is a common misconception that full Torva, Pernix and Virtus armour has a set effect. In fact the life point boost of the full set is simply the boost of the pieces added together with no bonuses, and any single piece would count for protection from all four gods' followers in the God Wars Dungeon.
