Duel Arena

The Al-Kharid Duel Arena is a place where all players can go to engage in one-on-one-combat, either for fun or for a prize. Duelling for prizes is referred to as staking. The duel arena is a safe pastime. In case of death, there is no penalty, and no items (except the optional stake) will be lost upon death. The Duel Arena was brought into Runescape shortly before the end of the Runscape 2 Beta. It was partially due to Jagex wanting to do something about players abusing the "Duel anywhere" option back in Runescape Classic in order to get a free teleport to Lumbridge. The introduction of the Home Teleport spell (and more recently the release of the Lodestone network), however, has removed the benefit from such a technique.

Location
The arena is located North-east of Al-Kharid. Players can rub a Ring of Duelling to teleport directly to the arena entrance or using an Amulet of Glory to teleport to the Al-Kharid palace is another viable option. Also, the Home Teleports to Al-Kharid's lodestone can be used as it is close to the Duel Arena.

Picking a Fight

 * No Ranged: No ranging weaponry can be equipped during the battle.
 * No Melee Players cannot engage in hand-to-hand combat, including bare fists/feet.
 * No Magic No magical attack spells can be cast.
 * Fun Weapons: The only allowed Weapons are the Rubber Chicken, Flowers, Mouse Toy and other items that have very negative combat bonuses. Bare fists are not allowed, nor are snowballs as they are not able to cause any damage.
 * No Forfeit: Players cannot escape the arena; the fight lasts until one player dies.
 * No Drinks: Players cannot drink anything that boosts stats, such as Potions. All stats that are boosted prior to the fight are reset to their default values once the fight begins. This is available on free servers as well, as a free player can obtain low level combat potions.
 * No Food: Eating food and/or using the Phoenix Necklace is not allowed.
 * No Prayer: Use of any Prayers is not allowed.
 * No Movement: Players can't move during the battle, and they start next to each other, which means they can still use melee.
 * Obstacles: The arena becomes like a mini-maze during the fight, also the fighting area is separated from the obstacle-free one.
 * No Special Attack: The use of special attacks is not allowed.e
 * Summoning Enabled: Players are allowed to summon during the battle. This is also separated from the obstacle-free and obstacle arena(s).(Members option only)Some of the options can't be combined; for instance, having no ranged, melee, or magic makes it impossible to fight. It is also possible to take equipped items off on this screen, Rangers should be careful not to check off shield if they intend to use a bow.
