Death
If you are slain on a PvP world, you will respawn as normal, retaining your three most valuable items if you are not skulled, or no items at all if you have been skulled. As usual, you can use the Protect Item prayer to retain an extra item.
If you are the victor in your combat, you will discover that your enemies drop items. These items are randomly generated by the game based on how much your opponent was carrying, how much you are carrying, the difference between your Combat level and your opponent's, how long you have survived outside safe zones on the PvP world, and how many other players you have killed recently. If you frequently enter safe zones, your drops will certainly not be as impressive as if you had spent the whole time in a hot zone.
Most of time, the items your opponent drops will be normal equipment such as you might find or make on an ordinary, non-PvP RuneScape world, but sometimes you will be the lucky recipient of special PvP world equipment.
Special Drops
There are several types of PvP world equipment, each designed to improve your chances of defeating your enemies, or simply to help you earn even more experience if you dare to train your skills there.
Corrupt Dragon EquipmentIf you are lucky, you may come across some severely damaged dragon equipment. These have all of the same equipment bonuses as ordinary dragon equipment (
click here to see a list of its bonuses), but can be distinguished by the faded colours.
You can wear these for 30 minutes before they crumble to dust. The following dragon items are available in a corrupted state:
- Chainbody
- Medium helm
- Platelegs
- Plateskirt
- Square shield
- Battleaxe
- Dagger
- Longsword
- Mace
- Scimitar
- Spear
Brawling Gloves (Members Only)Brawling gloves are especially designed to temporarily increase the experience you earn while training on a PvP world. While wearing them, you will receive a 50% bonus to any experience you earn in the relevant skill while on a PvP world. If you use them in the Wilderness on a PvP world, you will receive even more - quadrupling the amount you would normally receive.
Brawling gloves don't last forever, and will disintegrate after a certain amount of time spent earning the relevant experience.
Brawling gloves are available for the following skills:
- Melee
- Magic
- Ranged
- Agility
- Cooking
- Firemaking
- Fishing
- Hunter
- Mining
- Prayer
- Smithing
- Thieving
- Woodcutting
Ancient Warriors' Equipment (Members Only)In the ancient days of RuneScape, several great warriors walked the land. With all of the bloodshed in the PvP worlds, their equipment is heeding the call and returning to the surface...
These items all come in two states - one with full requirements that will last an hour of combat; the other with level 20 requirements that will last only fifteen minutes.Every weapon except Zuriel's staff has a special attack, which you can read about here.
Zuriel's staff is capable of autocasting elemental attack spells as well as Ancient Magick spells. In addition to this, it gives mages using Ancient Magicks access to a further branch of the spellbook. You can read about these extra spells
