Man

From the RuneScape Wiki, the wiki for all things RuneScape

"Men" redirects here. For information on males in general, see Gender.
This article is about the low-level NPC that players can attack or pickpocket. For the NPC near the Al Kharid Mine called Man, see Avan.




Men are found all over RuneScape, generally in towns such as Varrock, Ardougne, Falador, or Lumbridge. However, you can expect to find some in some unusual places, like in level 30 Wilderness at the Forgotten Cemetery, or just south of the wall of Falador. If talked to, they sometimes give a flier. They can be killed for a good source of herbs for low levelled players. However, it is generally accepted that even for lower level players, there are better things to kill for money/clue scrolls. The men in Falador announce upcoming drop parties in the Party Room, saying how long until the drop takes place and how much the drop is worth.

[edit] Pickpocketing

Men and women can be used to start Thieving by pickpocketing them at level 1. Each successful pickpocket gives 8 Thieving experience and 3 coins. Unsuccessful attempts result in a 5 second stun and 1 damage being taken. Having the lowest requirement to be stolen from, almost all members start thieving in this way.

As with all pickpocketable monsters, failing to pickpocket a man degrades a wielded Crystal shield by 1 damage.

[edit] Werewolves/Wolfmen

Level 24 men and women can be found in Canifis. If attacked or spoken to twice, they will turn into level 88 Werewolves unless the player wields a Wolfbane dagger.
