Self-injury
Players will sometimes deplete their lifepoints for the purpose of either intentionally dying or increasing the effect of Dharok's special. The most obvious way of depleting one's health is fighting monsters; however, many players use safer, controlled, faster, and more effective methods of depleting health, most of which can be done anywhere on RuneScape.
These methods include:
| Method | LP lost |
|---|---|

Eating a rock cake |
10 |

Lighting a Strange object (from The Fremennik Trials) |

| Drinking a zamorak brew | 10% +20 |
| Dropping nitroglycerin | 350 |
| Dropping a chemical compound | 600 |
| Going into a dark cave without a lit light source | |
| Eating nightshade (from the Watchtower quest) | |
| Continually picking nettles without protective gloves | |
| Attempting to take wax from the beehives in Catherby without using insect repellent | 10-30 |
| Drinking a poison chalice from Stankers | |
| Repetitively clicking a Kharidian scorpion | |
| Repetitively clicking the wine of zamorak | |
| Repetitively clicking a Sea slug on the Fishing Platform | |
| Becoming poisoned by monsters such as Cave crawlers | |
| Repetitively clicking the rat traps near various Rat Pits | |
| Eating a poison karambwan | |
| Stand on the fiery coals below the temple on Ape Atoll | |
| Praying in the Amascut Altar (From Missing My Mummy) |
Suicide
Sometimes players commit "suicide" as a way to regain lowered stats or get rid of disease, such as those that might occur during Zogre Flesh Eaters. One effective way of doing so for members with at least 57 Woodcutting is to use the free teleport to Lumbridge, put everything in the bank except an hatchet, cut a Waka canoe and ride it to the Wilderness, and go north-west to attack a Green dragon, which should provide a quick death. Another closer place to die is in the Stronghold of Player Safety, by entering in the crevice south of Edgeville and attacking all three Cockroach soldiers, which hit the player with fairly accurate melee or ranged attacks (when wearing no armour) in a multi-combat area. Alternatively, dying in a safe minigame or in the dungeon of one's player-owned house has the same effect.
