"Chain" redirects here. For the item used in the 2009 Christmas event, see Chains. For the quest item, see Chain (A Clockwork Syringe).

A Chainbody is a type of melee body armour. Its tendency to absorb impact makes it efficient at blocking slashing and crushing attacks. Rangers can utilise chainmail to afford them some melee protection at the expense of magical defence; however, this will not raise their Ranged attack bonus as leather or dragonhide would. Chainmail is relatively weak against Ranged and stab attacks due to it being made of hundreds of tiny rings. As it is made of metal, it conducts Magic attacks very well, making it weak against magical opponents, although not as much as platebodies. Chainbodies are mostly less popular than platebodies.

All chainbodies except for the Black chainbody, White chainbody, Corrupt dragon chainbody, Dragon chainbody, Corrupt vesta's chainbody, and Vesta's chainbody can be made using the Smithing skill.

This piece of armour will interfere with Ava's accumulator and Ava's attractor. The Dragon chainbody, White chainbody, and both Vesta chainbodies are available only to members.

The chainskirt (a common armour worn during medieval times) was not introduced, thus making the chainbody even less popular. Players tend to wear platelegs with d'hide bodies, in opposition to chainbodies and d'hide legs. This is most likely because this combination is least expensive.

The 3rd age platebody and dragon platebody seems to have the same effects as a chainbody instead of a Platebody. It has no negative range bonus, and a small negative magic bonus.

Chainbodies can be sold at Wayne's Chains, a chainbody specialist shop in Falador, however the Grand Exchange has much better offer prices.
