PvP Lures
It is important to note that the abyss is often the target of PvP lures. These are players, or often groups/clans of players, that will attempt to take advantage of the abyss' wilderness location and automatic skull mechanic to lure players into the open where they can be ambushed and killed for their items. Players/clans may use a number of strategies to coordinate the killing of an innocent skiller, including but not limited to:
- Offering to buy a spot from the victim - "The Real Estate Approach". Lures may show up at random, claiming the spot was theirs just a moment ago, and offer to buy it back from you for a large amount of money, often in the tens of millions. Lures will try to trade with the player, but will be constantly interrupted by attacks from abyssal creatures. The lure will then insist the victim follow them into the inner ring of the abyss, where there is no way back to the creatures aside from teleporting out of the abyss and running back through the wild. As soon as the victim enters the inner ring, the lure will teleport to another location, often Edgeville, and PM the victim to follow them to receive their money. Once the victim leaves the abyss, the lure will then tell the victim that they have gone back to the abyss, and the victim should meet them there. The victim, often still skulled, will make their way back to the Zamorak Mage only to be ambushed and killed by the lure, losing all their items.
