Guards and Bank Guards are NPCs found in most cities that attack any player with a skull. They are combat level 831 and can inform the player about their role. They can be pickpocketed at level 40 Thieving.

Three types of guards exist representing the three different combat styles; Melee, Ranged, and Magic. Depending on the style, the guards will wield a Chaotic Maul, a Chaotic Staff, or a Zaryte Bow - only the last of which can be currently be obtained by players right now. Many players think the bow wielded by guards is a chaotic bow but it is in fact the zaryte bow from before the graphical update of 2012.

After a hidden update, guards started smiting players, preventing them from abusing the Protect Item and Retribution prayers.

Trivia[]

  • They are among the few NPCs in the game that use Evolution of Combat Abilities
  • When you fail to pickpocket a guard, they will only hit you for a small amount of damage like any other pickpocketing target.
  • They have 1,000,000 LP, but their drop table is the same as regular guards.
  • Guards wear a recoloured version of the Colossus armour from RuneScape 3, with the Saradominist symbols removed.
  • Guards used to wear the old appearance of steel helm and steel chainbody.
  • During Hallowe'en 2015, Guards wore a skeleton set, without the mask.
  • During Christmas 2015, Guards wore a Santa costume, with a Black Santa hat on top of their helmet.
  • Their combat level was 138 upon release, the same as a maxed combat player. This was changed to 831 in an update on 09 November 2015, in response to complaints that maxed combat players would attack on left-click.
