'''Muggers''' are level 6 humans that can be found throughout ''RuneScape''. They can be a potentially fatal threat to unaware new players. They use only crush attacks, which are quick and accurate. On one unknown date in January 2010, some of the Muggers in the entrance to the [[Stronghold of Player Safety]] have had their shirts changed from red to blue.

Muggers are [[Aggressiveness|aggressive]], which means that they attack players who are two times the mugger's combat level or less. Thus, muggers are aggressive against players from level 3 through 12. Caught by surprise and unprepared, a new player can fairly easily die at their hands. They can assault players even inside buildings, but are incapable of following them down or up the stairs, or opening shut doors, whether they be within the building or outside it. Other [[NPCs]] do not appear to even notice their presence, nor do they attempt to aid or resist them. Ways to repel or escape the threat of muggers include simply closing the door, engaging them in direct combat (inadvisable for inexperienced fighters), or simply teleporting away. Easy and quick ways of teleporting away include teleporting to the rune essence mine through [[Aubury]] (which requires the completion of [[Rune Mysteries]]) or enter [[mysterious ruins]], though the ruins are accessible only with talismans or tiaras.

#Earth Runecrafting Altar.
#South East Varrock near the wizard shop.

==Varrock Mugger==
Prior to the updates of [[17 September]] [[2009]], a mugger wandered the area around [[Aubury's Rune Shop]] in south-eastern [[Varrock]]. The mugger was infamous for his attacks on low-levelled players entering the store, including, until late [[2007]], many [[macro]]ers. The mugger became something of an inside-joke amongst the RuneScape community and was often referred to as "Mugger (level-6)." Jagex hinted at this in the [[Varrock Census]], in which the mugger is named as "Phearthee Levalsyx" (or fear the level six). During early testing of the [[Court Cases]] [[Distractions and Diversions]] game, the mugger was used by [[Jagex]] as a test case. A shirt with a headshot of the mugger is also available in the [[Jagex Store]].

With the updates on 17 September, [[Jagex]] removed the mugger from Varrock, to preserve the cushion of safety around Varrock and Lumbridge.

{{Cquote2|The citizens of Varrock sleep easy once more. The notorious mugger of southern Varrock, level 6, who works the patch outside of Aubury’s rune store, has moved on. Various street sources suggest that the mugger, real name unknown, felt that ‘his work was done’ and has decided to travel abroad. This is good news indeed for the people of Varrock, as this mugger has proven to be second only to zombie invasions as a source of panic for the city.

While the streets of Varrock are now safe, adventurers are being warned to steer clear of this shady individual should they run into him outside of Varrock. Recent sightings have put Mugger (level-6) as far afield as Paterdomus, Port Sarim and Edgeville. While it may appear that these are separate people, it is, in fact, the very same (and very fast) person. Please be advised that he is considered armed and dangerous – do not to approach him for any reason."

"Claims that his level has increased to 7 are greatly exaggerated."|Mod Srowley|{{CiteForum |author=Mod Srowley |url=http://www.webcitation.org/5jwoON62A |title=Mugger (level-6) Sightings |forum=Recent Updates |postdate=17 September 2009 |date=15:28, July 8, 2011 (UTC) |name= }}}}

==Trivia==
* The mugger in [[Port Sarim Jail]], like the [[Black Knight]] also in the jail, was not affected by the update which changed the muggers' appearances.
* It appears that some muggers were created in certain places to prevent the use of [[Bots]]. Two examples would be at the mine south-west of Varrock, near the Sawmill and by the Rune shop in Varrock. Other monsters share this use.
* Muggers can be a good source of rope, for players too impoverished to purchase the item.
* Muggers were used in scams before the drop trade update, and players would scam lower level players into losing their items, since muggers are aggressive to level 12 and down.
* The Varrock mugger has become almost like a celebrity among the [[RuneScape]] player community because of the many bots he has killed.
* One of the muggers is known as Phearthee Levalsyx (when said aloud, Fear the Level Six).
* The clue scroll (easy) use to be uncommon.
