Player killing

Player Killing, PKing or PvP are common terms used for killing other player in the Wilderness, an area in northern RuneScape where players may kill each other for the ability to take their items.

When initiating combat with another player inside the Wilderness, players are marked with a skull. This causes players to lose all of their items when they die, or all but the most valuable if the player has the Protect items prayer enabled, instead of the normal 3 most valuable.

PKing is distinct from duelling.
