There are many guards in Gielinor, usually in populated, major cities, such as Falador, Varrock, Ardougne, and others. Guards also patrol the area just south of the wilderness ditch at Edgeville.

Their level ranges from 19-22, and they are quite weak. None of the guards are aggressive unless attacked first. Guards can be pickpocketed at level 40 Thieving, giving 46.8 experience and 30 coins. Besides the ones listed on this page, other guards whose pockets can be picked include the Port Sarim jail guards, Hosidius guards, Shayzien guards, along with the guard loitering east of Doric's hut.

A large variety of guards exist in addition to the ones that can be robbed, like for example the unique level 1337 guards found in Deadman mode, who will kill anyone who enters a safe zone while skulled instantly.

Guards are a popular source of clue scrolls due to their low level and ability to drop medium clue scrolls. Completing the medium Falador Diary allows the player to have a 20% increased chance of receiving a clue scroll drop from guards in Falador.

Appearance

The guards in Falador and Edgeville wear an iron chainbody and a bronze med helm as armour. Their weaponry consists mostly of bronze swords and bronze battleaxes. Some guards wield bows and wear hardleather bodies.

The guards of Ardougne wield a steel mace, steel chainbody, and a grey helmet with a large chin guard that resembles a spiny helmet without spikes. They also wear red trousers and blue shirts under their chainmail. Although very similar in appearance, they should not be confused with the soldiers and watchmen that defend Yanille.

Guards in Varrock used to wear unique armour and weapons that mirrored those of a Renegade knight, but have since been given models reminiscent of an older art style, while retaining the yellow and grey colours of the city they protect.

Pickpocketing

A way to efficiently thieve from Guards is to complete the Recruitment Drive quest, set Falador as one's spawn point, and then pickpocket Falador guards until inevitably dying in the process. Upon death, it is possible to run straight back and pick up any coins that one died with.
