Mod Jack acknowledged this confusion in December 2017: Similarly, level 1 Bronze armour is tier 5. Taken together it is much clearer to say that the level 90 Elder rune armour is tier 80. Tier – I will be using the word Tier to refer to the stats of an item.If it isn’t obvious which level is being spoken about or if more than one is mentioned, I will attempt to clarify. Level – the level required to mine, smith, smelt, or wear.We don’t like that the tier 90 creates tier 80 equipment with a level 90 wearing requirement.įor the purpose of this guide, I will always use these definitions: Usually, the armour requires the same level to wear as it has stats but recently this caused the confusing statement in a livestream that: The level required to use the item (attack/defence level).They call items T80 sometimes and at other times say “level 80 gear” or “item level of 80” – which could be for: When speaking about armour or weapons, Jagex’s interchangeable wording causes confusion. When speaking of mining, tier is used by Jagex to mean the level required to mine the ore – for example, Luminite ore is referred to as T40, which means it is a level 40 ore. This means different things considering their context.
