Now i know where Jagex got some armor ideas from...

[The_g_unitpk71]

Well, I was watching the movie gladiator and in one of the fights it looked like the guy was wearing Veracs. So I hopped on my computer and googled gladiator. Check out some things I found...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Helm:

I also found a website with all knights armor which looks just like runescape. http://wholesalearmor.com/index.html

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Check out the similarities

None I just now have an idea on where some of the armor originated from. Its really interesting reading about some of the stuff I came across.

thats why Jagex gave it a prayer bonus, the gladiators' who had to wear it prayed they wouldn't get stabbed :lol:

And tell me, what is wrong with manskirts?

that picture hurts my eyes...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

anyway, why wouldn't Jagex pull ideas from real life? it just makes the whole experience more interesting.

[Aus_Fighter]

Yea they get their ideas from

[00 Quanta]

the game is based in Medieval time, people during those times wore armors like those

exactly, like the chainmail used in the middle ages, and the spears too.

[dude_of_war4]

eww that guy in the brassy look fat....cut down on the pies dude!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

on topic: nice find i always knew they got em from the past

[chris11]

nice finds. I'd always thought that veracs came from the gladiator armours.

[hoffmanbmxx]

if you watch the movie Gladiator, when he is in the pits there is a character who is wearing a brassard and has a flail and looked alot like verac.. but it was only like a 5 second clip..

[Plod2]

Most armour looks like runescape armour. If it was so different from armours from history then you wouldn't really know what it was.

The gladiator would turn into the enemy so that all the enemy could see would be armour. This game freedom of movement to the other arm meaning quicker attacks or to throw a net.

If you count gladiatorial rome as medival. Runescape adheres to no particular time period - you must remember it is first and foremost a fantasy game, not a Medival game. Just look at the new quest - Ballons were invented by Montgolfier in France in the 1700's (I think, I may be wrong, but it was sure as hell was after 1485)

Stupid people....VIKING HELMET DIDN'T HAVE HORNS!!! :shame:

There's a pair of Quiksilver shoes I believe that look just like Rune boots, I can't find them on the internet though but my friend has a pair.

Nice to see where JaGEx's idea's come from. Nice Find!

[Dragon_Scyth]

To the Guy that gave a link to Rune Armour thats not armour from what i can see and read its something to wear under your armour so it doesnt own u as much.
