Grand Exchange price history
The 3rd age platelegs are a leg-slot piece from the 3rd age melee armour set, requiring 65 Defence to wear. They carry heavy melee defence (+78 stab, +76 slash, +83 crush) and a notably high +75 ranged defence, but give no strength bonus and a -25 magic attack penalty, so they see little use in combat. They're only obtainable as a reward from hard, elite and master Treasure Trails.
Equipment bonuses
The 3rd age platelegs pack heavy melee defence for a leg slot item — +78 stab, +76 slash and +83 crush — plus a notably high +75 ranged defence, all behind a 65 Defence requirement.

Other bonuses
As armour it has no attack speed, and it gives no strength bonus alongside a -25 magic attack penalty and a -2 ranged attack penalty, so it adds nothing to your damage output no matter which combat style you fight with.
How to get the 3rd age platelegs
The 3rd age platelegs are only obtainable as a reward from hard, elite and master tier Treasure Trails caskets, with drop rates of roughly 1 in 211,250 from a hard casket, 1 in 249,262.5 from an elite casket, and 1 in 313,168 from a master casket. Because they're tradeable, most players buy a pair on the Grand Exchange instead of grinding clues for one, with a buy limit of 8 every 4 hours.
Is the 3rd age platelegs worth it?
Defensively they're strong. They have the third-highest defence bonuses of any non-degradable melee leg-slot item, only surpassed by the justiciar legguards and Torva platelegs. They also have slightly better melee defence than bandos tassets, but they lack a strength bonus, so combined with their price they're rarely used in combat.
They can be stored in the costume room's treasure chest as part of the 3rd age melee set. See our melee gear picks for leg-slot options built for actual damage output.
