To wear pieces of granite armour, 50 Defence and 50 Strength are required; 50 Attack and 50 Strength are needed to wield the granite weapons. Granite armour and weapons are also notable for being much heavier than other pieces of equipment (Granite platelegs have a mass of 15 kg, compared to rune platelegs which have a mass of 9 kg). Granite equipment cannot be carved from granite that can be mined from the quarry.
