The Wise Old Man is one of the most popular NPCs in Old School RuneScape. The beloved character is so wise that he even has a plugin and a whole website where he tracks players’ progress and enables competitions. He’s there for you in multiple quests and always waiting in Draynor to give you tasks or clean your bank from junk. He’s so awesome that he also inspired many players to get RuneScape tattoos where he really stands out.
