PvP worlds have arrived! Are you ready to pit your combat skills
against other players in the halls of the White Knights’ Castle?
Are you prepared to fight to the death in the fields of Lumbridge?
Well, now is your chance.
To get started, load up the game like normal (click
here to read about the changes to the log-in
system we've also released today), and then choose 'World Select'
on the title screen. Then pick a world which has a tick in the
'skull' column to choose a PvP world. To avoid nasty accidents, if
you let the game choose a world for you automatically it will never
select a PvP world. Also note that you require a Combat level of at
least 20 (not including Summoning) to get into a PvP world.
Before you are logged in, you will be warned that you are
entering a PvP world which is a dangerous place: you will
lose your items on death and you will not get a
gravestone. Upon entering the world for the first time,
you’ll be teleported to Lumbridge and given a manual to explain the
finer points of PvP worlds.
Here’s a quick run-down of the features:
The quality of the drops you get when you PK someone depends on
several different factors:
When you get a successful kill, the exact reward you can claim
depends on a number of other factors, including the level
difference between you and the value of the items items lost by the
dying player. Any unclaimed loot is saved for the next kills, so
you don't have to worry about it being lost if you kill a low level
player.
Don't despair if you are dying a lot and losing a lot of items.
The game will detect this and improve your chance of getting decent
rewards when you do eventually get a good kill.
The above is a simplified description of how it all works. To
prevent cheating there are various other factors taken into
account. We've calculated the rewards and rates very carefully, so
that a successful PKer should be able to get a good income, and
PKers who get lucky might find themselves with a good drop. Higher
level players may also get higher rewards to reflect their
increased earning ability when not PKing, such that PKing is still
worthwhile for them. The aim is to make PKing a fun alternative
(albeit very high risk) way of earning money in the game.
Included in the PvP-specific drop tables is a wide range of new
combat equipment and XP-boosting gloves. Members will get access to
level 78 items for all three corners of the combat triangle,
including armour as well as weapons, and a new set of Ancient
Magick spells. Non-members will get access to corrupt dragon
equipment. To find out more about these items, please visit the
Game
Guide.
Have fun PKing!
