Learn about the Wilderness in Old School RuneScape, a dangerous PvP zone where players can attack and kill each other, leading to item loss upon death.
The Wilderness is the only place in the World of Runescape (unless you count the Battle Arena) that you can attack and kill other players in the game. The Wilderness is a dangerous place to be unless you know what your in for. You can die and loss it all if you aren't prepared for what you are getting into.
As you might already know, if you attack another player in the wild then you will recieve a skull over your head. This skull last for 20 minutes and if you happen to die during this time then you will lose all you items you are carrying.
Attack or killing a player is known as PKing, or Player Killing. If you go into the wild then you will hear and use this term a lot. You will notice a little number at the bottem-right of your screen. This number indacates what level of wild you are in. The skull above it tells you if your in the wild or not. The number tells you how high a level person you can attack, and what level someone had to be at to attack you.
If you are in the level 5 wild for example, you will only be able to attack someone who is 5 levels higher or lower than you. This means that as you go deeper in, higher and higher level people will be able to attack you. This and other things are the things that make the wild such a dangerous place.
RS2's wild differs a lot from RSC's wild because you can now team. That and you don't have to wait three round to run away. If you don't like who you are fighting then you can just run right away, they can chase after you of chorse. Teaming is now a good way to kill people because you can have a group of friend (say 4) and then you find someone that everyone can attack and bang, 4 vs 1. It may not seem fair but you have to do what you have to do right?
