Wandering warriors are Karamja natives who wield poisoned spears in battle. They can be found near Tai Bwo Wannai and one might appear as an enemy during the Tai Bwo Wannai Cleanup minigame.

Wandering warriors are very dangerous to low level players and should not be taken lightly. Though their actual melee attacks only hit up to 180, any attack that damages players has a chance to inflict a poison and will deal up to about 80 poison damage per 10 seconds. Low level players and village cleaners of all levels should take strong precautions and carry antipoisons at all times.

Locations

Wandering warriors seem to have the same facial markings as the Oracle, Duradel and Vannaka. Duradel is in Karamja himself, and Vannaka was Duradel's student.
Wandering warriors were called tribesmen prior to an update on 24 February 2020.
