When entering the Wilderness, many players equip all their very best armour, wield their strongest weapons and bring expensive amulets and rings as protection. This works very well as a strategy, keeping you safer than cheaper equipment would. Tons of Cheapest RuneScape Gold Hot Sale just Kicks on! Time to shower yourself with Fast RuneScape 2 Gold!

But many other players prefer to do the opposite - bringing their cheapest armour and weapons, sometimes even wearing as little as possible. This is also a good idea if you have a higher than usual risk of dying (for example, if you are exploring an area of the Wilderness you haven't been in before), as it makes dying a very cheap way of teleporting out of the Wilderness.

Do note, however, that if you die in the Wilderness now you will not have a gravestone to return to and your items will be up for grabs by anybody that happens to be around at the time, but they are usually random players or the person that PKed you. Consider your type of armour carefully, as some creatures in the Wilderness can use negative magic bonuses to give you high damage as a result of metal armour.
