Guard

There are many Guards in RuneScape, usually in populated, major cities, such as Falador, Varrock, Ardougne, and Burthorpe. Guards also patrol the area of just south of the Wilderness Ditch at Edgeville. There are also Guards at the mansion in the quest Rat Catchers.

General Information
Their level ranges from 19 to 37, and they are weak for their level. They are among the most commonly killed monsters in RuneScape, and because of this, they are quite commonly affected by the NPC Death Glitch.

Armour and Weaponry
All guards (except in Varrock) wear an Iron chainbody (or Steel chainbody), Bronze medium helmet (or a Steel medium helmet), and a Steel square shield as armour.

Most wield a Bronze sword or Bronze battleaxe.

Some guards wield ranged gear instead of a sword and wear Hard leather armour or Studded leather armour in the place of Iron chainbody.

Still more have a steel mace, iron chainbody or hardleather body.

Thieving
Guards can be thieved at level 40 Thieving, giving 46.5 experience.

Extra Hints
Guards should not be confused with the level 9 Al-Kharid Warriors in Emir's Palace. They should also not be confused with the jail guards of Draynor prison, who are mostly aggressive (one of them isn't aggressive: Joe). Guards are also a popular clue scroll drop monster due to their low level and level 2 clue scrolls.
