Wild Zombies are the most common hostile creatures in the Wilderness. They are the safest early Combat training target compared with Wild Dragons, and they are usually found more often in the southern part of the Wilderness.

Zombies attack by chasing nearby players and damaging them on contact. They are a good first combat grind, but players should still bank materials before long trips.

Halloween 2026: Until 2 November 2026 00:00 UTC, zombies have glowing pumpkin heads, and every zombie you kill has a 1 in 1,500 chance to drop the Zombie Mask. See Halloween 2026.

Tip: Stay in the southern Wilderness for safer zombie grinding. The north side is more dangerous because dragons are more common there.

Combat

Stat	Value
HP	100 — zombies take real sword damage per hit, so a starter sword (5 damage) needs 20 hits and a silver sword (30 damage) only 4
Aggro range	3 tiles
Contact damage	2–10 HP per tick (rolled), at least 1.5 seconds between ticks
Combat XP	50 per kill
Respawn time	60 seconds

Every successful swing lands exactly one damage tick of your sword's damage — zombies previously used a lives system where a critical slice removed 2 lives, but they now take real damage per hit with no critical tick. There is no QTE any more — a zombie in contact bites you roughly every 1.5 seconds, so fighting multiple zombies at once can become risky quickly.

Rewards

Reward	Amount	Notes
Combat XP	50	Flat per kill — weapon tier does not change the XP, only how fast the zombie dies
Beginner Scroll	Rare drop	1 in 1,000 kill chance. Unique quest scroll with 4 material deliveries + 1–2 bonus tasks. Redeems to Maelor the Scrollbinder for 2–5 Gold.
Zombie Mask	Rare drop	1 in 1,500 kill chance until 2 November 2026 (Halloween 2026; 1 in 500 until 23 October 2026), rolled for the player who lands the killing blow. Needs 1,000 $KINS held; the mask goes to your cosmetics bag and is lost if that bag is full.
Daily quest progress	1 kill	Applies to the kill zombies daily quest

Wild Zombies no longer drop Gold — the old 1-in-200 Gold drop was removed in a 2026 update.

Locations

Area	Notes

Tips

• Heal at the Mainland Fountain before entering the Wilderness.
• Bank gathered materials before fighting for a long time.
• Use zombies for early Combat XP before moving north toward dragons.
• Forge a better sword at Frostmere — an Iron Sword hits for 26 versus the starter's 5, so zombies die in far fewer swings (XP per kill stays 50).
• Zombie kills rarely drop Beginner Scrolls (1 in 1,000) — a passive bonus on top of Combat XP.
• Until 2 November 2026, keep room in your cosmetics bag — a Zombie Mask that finds the bag full is lost.
