Bandit (Kharidian Desert)

Bandits are attackable NPCs which are found at the Kharidian Desert Bandit Camp. These bandits will automatically attack any player that is wearing an item associated with Saradomin or Zamorak, as Bandits are Atheists of Runescape. Many players use this mechanic as a way to efficiently train their combat skills. Players will wear a god affiliated item, and then proceed to be attacked by the bandits. This allows players to easily and efficiently gain large amounts of combat experience. These bandits can also be pickpocketed at level 53 Thieving.

If players wear a Saradominist item, bandits shout "Time to die, Saradominist filth!" If players wear a Zamorakian item, they will shout "Prepare to suffer, Zamorakian scum!" If a player attacks other bandits, the bandits will exclaim "You chose the wrong place to start trouble!" and become aggressive towards the player. Saradominist and Zamorakian items are the only god-related items to have this effect on the bandits.
