Edgeville

Edgeville is a small town located at the border of the Wilderness available to free players.

In the early development of RuneScape Classic, Edgeville only had empty buildings. It was commonly referred to as "Ghost Town" until items were placed in the building and was given an official name, Edgeville.

Before the updates of December 10, 2007, Edgeville was a very popular town to player killers, clan war participants, free-to-play duelers, and traders of player killing-related items such as food (sharks), various potions, weapons, runes, and other combat-related items. World 18 was the main world where players kill other players at the border of Edgeville, and is a focus for trading activities until the introduction of the Bounty Hunter update. This area was the location of the Mod Hasmo riot, which occured during the same time as the Pay to Pk Riot. The area has lost popularity after the wilderness update, and nearly empty in many f2p worlds.

History
During the Second Age, the area that is now Edgeville was known as Paddewwa, a mighty fortress of the powerful god Zaros. Found near the Zarosian capital of Senntisten, the area was a great asset to the domain.

Following Zaros's defeat at the hands of Zamorak, the God Wars began. Paddewwa most likely fell during the beginning of the war under the attack of many races and religious factions.

Thousands of years later, in the Fifth Age, the area was an abandoned area known to many as the "Ghost Town". Only empty homes and ruins could be found. In the Year 169, King Roald of Varrock incorporated the area, naming it Edgeville.

Travel

 * Edgeville can be entered from the north from the Wilderness, from the east from the plot of land north of Varrock, and from the south by Barbarian Village.
 * The amulet of glory can be used to teleport just outside the bank.
 * Fairy ring code DKR is just across the river.
 * The Canoe Station is just across the river.
 * Edgeville and other teleports in or near the wilderness can be accessed using Ancient Magicks.

There are some level 21 guards near the eastern part of the town, but they are not aggressive. However, level 22 and 25 skeletons are just north of the Wilderness ditch and are aggressive, so players should beware of them. Near the skeletons is also the entrance to the Abyss.

Banks
Edgeville only has one bank, which is in the very centre of the town. However, it is not as popular as Varrock's or Falador's banks.

Edgeville's bank was once full of PK'ers, as it was a great place to sell food from cooking, potions, weapons, and other common PKing goods, especially in worlds where player killing was the theme. But rarely there are people in the bank now because of Bounty Hunter.

This bank is popular with higher level players who own several amulets of glory as it is currently the quickest bank to get to via a teleport - very slightly better than the glory teleport to Draynor, and about the same as a ring of duelling to Castle Wars bank but without the cost of the ring. It is also the bank used by players training Runecrafting via the Abyss.

Stores
Edgeville only has two stores. The general store has two floors. The first floor (ground floor in the UK) has the trader NPCs, while the second floor (first floor in the UK) has a range that can be used for cooking. However, because of Edgeville being so close to the Wilderness, not many people go to the general store. Rarely is anything of value sold to it.

The next store is at the north end of the town. The shopkeeper, Oziach, sells Rune Platebodies and Green dragonhide Bodies if the player has completed the Dragon Slayer quest. However, they are quite expensive and would be better off bought from another player.

Trees
Edgeville has two great yew trees just a little south of the bank in a destroyed building. Because of the trees being so close to the bank, many players like to cut these yew trees and transport them quickly to the bank when their inventory is full.

There is also a willow tree east of the bank which is not so popular, but is really useful for woodcutting training.

Dungeons

 * Main article: Edgeville Dungeon

Edgeville has a dungeon entrance right beside the yew trees in the destroyed building. It is an underground dungeon and is home to a variety of monsters, including skeletons, hobgoblins, zombies, and Hill giants. The giants' lair had been expanded by Jagex several times over the years. It is often full of players fighting hill giants because of the giants' drops, which include big bones. Low level players are often advised to stay away from this dungeon.

There is also a medium-sized mine at the centre of the dungeon and it is guarded by level 22 and 25 skeletons, bothering mid and low level players. This mine contains adamantite ore, mithril ore, silver ore, coal and iron ore.

For members, there is a part of the dungeon that is actually in the wilderness. In this part you can find chaos druids, earth warriors, black demons, lots of red spider egg respawns, and the demon Chronozon for the Family Crest quest.

In this dungeon you can also find the Slayer master Vannaka.

At the far east side of the dungeon, there is an Agility shortcut that leads to the Varrock sewers.

In the 5th February 2008 update, the Edgeville dungeons have been updated and their graphics improved.

The Stronghold of Player Safety was added on 11 March 2008, providing both free players and members a new dungeon similar to the Stronghold of Security, which is located only a short distance away south from here.

Dragon Slayer

 * Main article: Dragon Slayer

In Dragon Slayer, players must talk to Oziach after they have started the quest in the Champions Guild. Oziach is located west of Edgeville.

Garden of Tranquillity

 * Main article: Garden of Tranquillity

The player must throw their Ring of Charos down the well in Edgeville in order to progress with the quest.

Recipe for Disaster

 * Main article: Recipe for Disaster

The house to the west of the bank features heavily in the Evil Dave section of the quest.

Ranges
Edgeville has a range and a stove, which are basically the same thing. The range is on the second floor of the general store and the stove is in the small house west of the bank. The stove is very close to the bank, so it is a great place to withdraw food, cook it on the stove, deposit it in the bank, and repeat.

Water Sources
Players can obtain water from a well with a bucket west of the bank or from a sink in the small house west of the bank.

Jail
Players can fight the guards at this jail. The jail also has a spawn point for an iron mace.

Leather gloves
Leather gloves spawn just outside the bank.

Furnace
There was a furnace added in the September 10, 2007 update. This furnace can only be used while wearing Varrock armour 1 or higher, a reward from the Varrock Diary. In the same room at the furnace is an NPC by the name of Jeffery.

Summoning obelisk
A fully functional obelisk for recharging Summoning points lies to the northeast, by the bridge.
