The '''Border Guard''' is a non-attackable [[non-player character]] who charges a player 10 [[coins]] to cross the border between [[Al Kharid]] and [[Lumbridge]]. They wield weapons similar to a [[steel halberd]], and are the only free-to-play NPCs to wield halberds other than the [[fortress guard]]s at the [[Black Knights' Fortress (building)|Black Knights' Fortress]]. They appear between many other gates or walls (but do not charge for entry).

After completing [[Prince Ali Rescue]] quest, they will let the player through their gate for free into [[Al Kharid]].

==Other areas==
On [[17 September]] [[2009]], two border guards of each were added to the [[Draynor]], [[Falador]] and the [[Gunnarsgrunn]] area. They let you pass for free, and you cannot communicate with them. Any players with a total level of 59 or under will receive a confirmation message on whether to pass through this gate or not, unless the account is 3 days or older.

==Trivia==
*The Kharidian border guards resemble [[Al-Kharid warrior]]s.
*In one of the [[Postbag from the Hedge|Postbags from the Hedge]], [[Postie Pete]] apparently discovered that the two Border Guards were stealing the money. When he further inquired about this, the Border Guards distracted him and were "replaced" with two other guards that look exactly the same.
*Previously, if you talked to them in the now discontinued [[Learning the Ropes]] tutorial, they would talk about how the residents of [[Lumbridge]] are inconsiderate in keeping a [[Three-headed green dragon|dragon]] as a [[pet]].
*When ''[[RuneScape HD]]'' was released, the Al Kharid Border Guards received a new look, their old one being a combination of orange and purple.
*Glitches have been discovered by players in [[Gunnarsgrunn]] and [[Draynor]], causing them to become stuck in a wall and stand between the guards, respectively.
*The [[Al Kharid]] guards will all turn and look at a player if the player goes near them.
*Another glitch was found on 22 November 2011; the border guards at places such as the Barbarian Village and Port Sarim had stopped working, preventing people getting through to the other side. This''' '''has now been fixed.

*There is also a glitch when a yellowish lava runs down the trousers and sleeves of the guard's clothing. This has not been fixed.
