Highwaymen are criminals that will attack players up to combat level of 10, which may prove challenging to new players who are passing by. While attacking, they shout Stand and deliver!.

They wear highwayman masks, which can be obtained by players as a reward from completing Easy Treasure Trails.

Trivia

  • Even though the hooded highwayman appears to have a slash attack style, and his attack makes a slashing sound, his attacks are still counted as stab attacks. This means the player's stab defence affects the chance of getting hit.
