Covenant chestplate

The Covenant chestplate is a piece of armour worn on the torso.

It is extremely popular amongst PVPing low-levels due to its unique effect, which scales the strength of the armour to the level of the player using it and the weapon the opposing player is wearing; resulting in a low-level player being able to have a chance at beating a higher-level player if they are using a very powerful weapon such as one of the Godswords, causing the enemy to hit very long strings of Zaros. It is the defensive counterpart of the Covenant Longsword.

It drops- with an extremely low chance- from Blessed spectres and Holy Tomb-Guardians.

Trivia

 * Players were originally able to wear the Covenant Chestplate and wield the Covenant Longsword at the same time, but this was confirmed to be a glitch by Jagex and was rectified the day after the release; it is now possible to wear only one of the two items.


 * The armour will immediately lose its effect if the enemy is wearing a piece of Covenant equipment, if the enemy is more than 30 levels above the player, or if the enemy is a lower level than the player. It will also become unequipable if the player attempting to use it is above level 95, and it will be dropped if the player rises above that level while wearing it.


 * It is speculated that this item was released due to complaints that overpowered equipment was making PVP feel "Cheap", granting victories to whoever had the most powerful items, with no skill involved at all.


 * If the player fights a monster while wearing this armour, it will have no effect.


 * When a player strikes a lower-levelled enemy player wearing this item in PVP with a Godsword for the first time, it will display this message on both player's screens: "The Covenant armour is engulfed by an azure glow, and the Godsword bounces harmlessly off", causing the attack to deal 0 damage. This event will not occur again until the Godsword-Wielding player enters combat with a player wearing covenant armour again.


 * The Covenant Longsword has its own counterpart to this message, viewable on its item page.
