PK bots of the wilderness

Even at low population you'll always find a fight. PK bots are fake players — real gear, real stats, real combat brains (they eat, pot, switch and spec) — that roam the wilderness. They live only in PvP zones: step across the wilderness line and you're hunted; stay in a safe town and they can't touch you.

Deeper is deadlier

The whole custom wilderness is seeded with wandering PKers. A bot's gear tier is decided by the wilderness level where it spawned — the same number you see on your screen:

Wilderness level	Gear tier
1–6	Bronze / Iron
7–12	Steel / Black
13–20	Mithril / Adamant
21–30	Rune, plus budget mage / range / Dharok's variants
31–44	Elite bridders (Bandos, Ancestral, Masori...)
45+	Elite, heavy NH — the scariest fights in the game

The elite bots run real archetypes: NH bridders with AGS→gmaul spec rotations, Ice Barrage freezers, Blood Barrage healers, Dharok's low-HP gamblers, claw-spec bridders. Deep wilderness is genuinely dangerous.

Fallen Varrock — the rogues' den

Fallen Varrock is the loot hub of the realm, and the PKers know it. On top of the usual wilderness wanderers, a dedicated pack of bots prowls the city streets (mithril-to-rune tier at Varrock's depth). Between them, the street monsters and other players, banking your loot there is never a formality.

The Lumbridge goblin camp

There's one bot that breaks the wilderness-only rule. A lone low-level PKer (combat 52, "Bandit" kit) prowls the goblin camp east of Lumbridge, where a handful of Knights of Lumbridge are locked in an endless brawl with the camp goblins. Unlike the wilderness bots, this one will ambush you on safe ground — a taste of the fight for new players who've never crossed the line. It's a single, weak bot: kill it for its kit, or leave it to the knights. The whole scene only appears while a player is nearby.

What they're worth

Kill a bot and it drops its entire equipped kit. In the wilderness that seals into a loot key for you, same as a player kill.
Bots don't pay Blood Money and don't count toward your PK stats or Elo — they're loot and practice, not ladder points.
They fight back properly, chase hard, and killing you destroys your loot keys like any other death.

Safe zones are absolute for the wilderness bots: they never muster, roam or chase onto a safe tile — banks inside the wilderness (and the Varrock bank pockets) are protected ground. The lone Lumbridge goblin-camp ambusher above is the one deliberate exception.
