Combat Areas
There are two kinds of combat area found throughout the land of RuneScape - single and multicombat areas.
In a single combat, any player can only fight a single target at any time. Similarly, any target can only be attacked by one player at a time.
Multicombat areas are identified upon entering by two crossed swords appearing in the bottom right hand corner of your screen. Anywhere else is classed as a single combat area. Multicombat areas are especially dangerous in the Wilderness as more than one monster can attack you at a time, and there is no shortage of them. This could be beneficial to a player because by fighting as a team you will decrease your chances of dying and will increase your chances of defeating stronger opponents, and getting RuneScape Items.
