Herbert, the Mage of Zamorak, is a member of the Zamorak Magical Institute, and stands around the Southern Wilderness mining site and at the Altar of Zamorak in Varrock. He sells runes in his shop, Battle Runes, and teleports players into the Abyss (resulting in a drain of all Prayer points) once the Enter the Abyss miniquest has been completed. He can teleport players even if they are affected by Tele Block.

He used to sell soul and astral runes, but now only sells air, water, earth, fire, mind, body, chaos, death, and blood runes. Before completion of Enter the Abyss, body runes are available to the player to buy, however, once completed, the body runes are replaced with blood runes.

It can be difficult to trade with him because he has so many skeletons standing near him that will attack the player. Overcoming this, the Mage of Zamorak is one of the cheapest sources of runes in RuneScape.

Many runecrafters use the Mage of Zamorak as a shortcut to their preferred altar, although this can be risky as many carry one or more valuable items that could be lost to player killers.

He will only talk to players if they speak to him in Varrock. He will refuse to speak with characters wearing any item representing another god than Zamorak (this includes Void Knight equipment), although he will still teleport players wearing items of another god.

Players may claim a small pouch from him if they lose one.

Treasure Trails

• The Mage of Zamorak is the solution to the master cryptic clue: Where safe to speak, the man who offers the pouch of smallest size wishes to see your alignment. Wear three Zamorak-related items.

Trivia

• If you ask him to teleport you to the Abyss, you say "Beam me up", a direct reference to Star Trek.
• He will refuse to speak with the player until all non Zamorak-affiliated god items are taken off.
  • This includes the staff of light, which is considered both a Zamorakian and Saradominist item in the God Wars Dungeon.
• His name was unknown for nearly seventeen years after his release, but was revealed to be Herbert in Temple of the Eye.
