Runescape Player Killing
Serious Gamers Only. Apply Now.
Are you the person who likes to have a lot of fun while playing games? Runescape has the answer to this player killing. Runescape features a special area in the game, where player-to-player combat is allowed it's called “The Wilderness. The Wilderness, to put it in place, is the exciting part of Runescape.
When player killing, there are certain rules that are applied to the wilderness. For example, you are stopped from attacking or being attacked by certain combat level characters dependant on the level of The Wilderness your in. The further you venture into The Wilderness, the more The Wilderness level is, the greater the gap of combat for PKing. If you don't understand that very well, here is an example.
Zezima is level 54 combat,
Goerg is level 53 combat,
Zezima and Goerg can fight each other in Wilderness Level 1.
Zezima moves to Wilderness Level 2.
They both are no longer able to combat each other as the Wilderness Level is 2. The range between the two characters combat level is 1, and so they are denied combat. If however, Zezima was level 55, or Goerg was level 52, then they would be able to fight in Wilderness Level 2 also. Get it?
There's also another little trick in successful player-killing. Many people group together in order to kill a single player and/or group. The reason for this is,
a) If multiple people attack one player he can be killed quicker,
b) Certain combat abilities are stronger over others.
Let me explain reason b).
There's a circle of combat where different combat types are more effective at combating others. This is how it goes:
Fighter > Ranger
Ranger > Mage
Mage > Fighter
So basically, a fighter has a better chance of killing a ranger.
A ranger has a better chance of killing a mage.
A mage has a better chance of killing a fighter.
This allows groups of all three to become really effective when fighting in the Wilderness although there are also disadvantages with grouping. Sometimes you team mate my go against you, and kill you in battle, or, when you do kill someone in group, you can't seem to share the loot equally.
There's also another rule of PKing. If you are in The Wilderness, and you attack someone (not if they attack you) you gain a skull above your head. This means that you've aggressed on someone, meaning you've attacked them. If you then die with the skull on your head, you lose all of the items in your inventory (bar one).
If someone attacks you, and you die, you'll keep the three most valuable items in your inventory.
There are some cool things about The Wilderness too, for example the strong monsters you can find in it. The Wilderness contains some of the wildest, most fierce some monsters in the game, for example, Green Dragons, and Giants etc. It is arguable one of the best places for combat training.
Overall, The Wilderness is a very exciting part of Runescape, and should be tried by all (even the pacifists of you all!) You can risk losing items, but it doesn't matter, it's worth it for the fun!

I don’t think you’ve PKed very much or you’d know that the “Circle of combat” doesn’t actually work that way in the wilderness. Jagex designed the armor and weapons in the game to try to create the “Circle of combat,” but there are many more factors involved in a fight besides your weapons and armor. I personally on my fighter character have beaten mages while sometimes getting beaten by rangers. There are just too many factors involved to think that the “circle of combat” applies very well.

youcan also bend the triangle for ex if a warrior wants to pk a mager hecould wear some leather armour
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:03 pm
my advice if you r going into the wilderness to kill mages for staffs clothes etc and you are a warrior then bring leather armour it means you can take off your metal armour put on the leather and it will be an easy kill beilive me!

rangers pwn the best against anybody in wild… well ranger/warriors…. if u know the 2h combo use that =D also greaters are easier to beat with range…. shoot through the crack when u are in the building

until lvl 40, dont mess with mages….. they will hurt u bad even if ur teamed with another person…. when i started i pked as a mage and killed a guy in one hit =D he had full health too

for members always heal at 50 hp for 70+ and 30 hp at lower dds(p)++ is best item to use… dragonfire sheilds works well with a dds(p)++ always have pray pots and 25 pray at the very least so u can protect ur items always pray and protect before u challenge or start a fite… better safe then sorry… tele is good and make sure u bring at least 30 laws if ur tele blocking or going to nature rune island…. also if u kill someone at lvl 8 wild and a guy 8 lvls higher can kill u, stay in lvl 7 and use tele grab good for all occasions tele block is effective but try and conceal ur presence. try and pk at a place where u can easily escape by goign into a feild of enemies and if ur pking alone never! ever! go to multi! its suicide! if a clan comes wat will u do? Dieeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!! never ever call someone a safer and def nub thats just whining about not being able to kill tem easily mailman1391 is leet same for ye oldslayer thanks to u guys i made this mini guide for new members.

the first thing you want to do if you want to pk is to become a “sensible” hybrid. emphasis on sensible. some of these are range mage hybrids

You dont go to the wild a lot:
If a level 53 and level 54 are in lvl 1 wild they can attack each other in lvl 2 wild they can attack each other in lvl 3 they can attack each other, etc.
Honestly my main goes to the wild a lot and you dont know much about the wild.

its not true mage beats anyone because thay have a hight hit rate. Then comes range because they have mage bows and dark bows then comes attackers!
