It is common for lurers to act like low-level players asking higher level players to show them where a location such as the Forinthry Dungeon is. Lurers may trade players and run into areas that have multi-way combat, forcing players to run after them when accepting. This can make even setting foot in low-level Wilderness potentially dangerous. In the Wilderness, players often use stun abilities and freeze spells to prevent players escaping. Players should only team up with people that they know and ensure that they don't bring items into the Wilderness that they aren't willing to lose. Some players try to lure others into the Wilderness by pretending to team up with them to kill other people. A different method to lure a player is lending an item to the victim, ensuring that their items/cash will be lost leaving the lurer with the loot, except for the borrowed item in the victim's inventory. Stacked items or cash not in the money pouch are lost on death, no matter the circumstance so this was used to the lurer's advantage. To ensure the specific item is dropped, a lurer usually lures players that are selling stacked items or are buying in cash. The main flaws of Wilderness luring are that it is usually obvious that the lurer will kill the player and the lurer must ensure the item is stacked or cash. Another method of luring was using the RuneScape Official Forums, where the victim is buying or selling an expensive item. For example, if a lurer is east of the Edgeville bridge, the lurer will usually say that he's power- fletching or woodcutting trees. The lurer usually creates a reason for trading in the Wilderness, depending on the location. A lurer usually brings a victim to the Wilderness with a variety of methods for example: Revenants, faking a drop party, or selling/buying an item for a ridiculously low/high price. It is when a player (lurer) brings another player (victim) to the Wilderness and immediately kills them receiving their loot. Wilderness luring is an old lure style seen in RuneScape. There are many types of lures the three main ones being Wilderness Luring, Clan Wars Luring, and Drop Luring. Remember the golden rule: never drop items in the wilderness.

These are always lures in themselves and should be avoided.
