Mage of Zamorak

The Mage of Zamorak stands in level 5-6 wilderness north-east of Edgeville at the source of the River Lum. He sells runes and teleports players into the abyss (resulting in a skull) once the Abyss miniquest is completed. He keeps a stock of 500 of all runes except for soul runes and astral runes.

It can be difficult to trade with him because he has so many skeletons and often player killers standing near him which will attack the player. Overcoming this, the Mage of Zamorak is one of the cheapest sources of runes in runescape.

Many runecrafters use the Mage of Zamorak as a shortcut to their preferred altar (often nature) although this can be risky as many carry one or more valued items which player killers may try to obtain by killing them (see Abyss.)
