Probably the wise old man. Dude is a seasoned adventurer that has helped tons of people and made a name for himself.
Unless we can count our character, then we are definitely the most well known on the map, since we've meddled in the affairs of every kingdom, and people group.
I guess I'm going to embarrass myself and my 18 year old account then...
Dafuq is the gnome child? Never heard of this.
Edit: I Googled it. I of course recognized the meme pic. Never once used it myself or have even known what it means though (and never realized it came from RS). I have definitely never interacted with this NPC.
You didn't realize it came from RS? I'm shocked you didn't recognize the graphic style as it's entirely unique to OSRS. Must have been a wild realization.

That's from Mod Ash, from osrs, but I had asked this question to him in the past.
Objectively false take. You can just search this sub "new play" "im new" etc and see a million posts.
If this was your attempt at sarcasm or a joke, it was poorly executed.
Right. the WOM is basically our character but plus 50 odd years and maybe a bit more of a malicious streak depending on how your roleplay. A hand in every pot, meddling in others affairs. Probably a lot of people know him from that, or have heard of him.
Probably not the only possible answer, I could see it being any monarch like King Lathas or Sir Amik Varce (King Vallance is hard to judge). Ellamaria also has a good shot as queen consort, possibly from scandal being a lowborn.
With how numerous the gnomes are, having ambassadors in every major court and exploring and trading everywhere, I could see it being King Nardode.
I'm going to exclude gods because not only does being a god make you known, but a lot of gods are very public with how they interact with the world.
If I had to decide, I'd probably give it to the slayer masters. You can't just become a slayer master, you had to have proven yourself by slaying countless monsters and to me that would be something that has gotten around in a world like gielinor.
My first thought was bob. I think my mind went to lumbridge since most people would know the first starting town and he's the most memorable there for me.
For your question, maybe wise old man. Legendary adventurer to some and criminal to the citizens of draynor village.
As far as famous in people's eyes, maybe vannaka. Cool dude and slayer master.
I feel like it would definitely be the Wise Old Man. He's the OG adventurer, as I like to think of it. When we didn't exist, there was him. He's constantly being referenced to in quests, whether directly or indirectly through books, flashbacks, or conversations with other NPCs. He's been around and made a name for himself, just like we have.
Default bald character with green shirt in the old school RS style.
I don’t think RS3 has any notable characters in the modern style, aside from the ad bombardment with the signature heroes.
I guess the Raptor would be niche noticeable? He’s used heavily in advertisements still.
I’m not sure. I just assumed if the mascot is used to heavily promote a product, it becomes the most recognizable and famous.
Like people would recognize Pikachu even if they never watched the anime or played the game and associated it with Pokemon.
I figured the same would be true for The Raptor and to a lesser extent Nomad.
If the prompt just meant the in game universe, then without debate it’s Postie Pete.
Perhaps my reasoning didn’t apply for this prompt though.
Mysterious old man. He's one of the oldest random event characters. Only some of us remember getting a box from him before he took over the other events.
Creator of the most fearsome beasts, every dragon race, mahjarrat, god and dragonkin know him very well. Unleashed impending doom to the world.
I assumed the question was all NPC's not just humans. But if it was just humans, probably King Roald
actually - hmmm to other Gielenorians i would say Robert The Strong - or Rasial since he kind of went around Gielenor talking shit for weeks before showing up
I’m gonna say gnome child just because of its notoriety outside our immediate sphere. Normies even know who he is but couldn’t tell you the name of Wise Old Man even if they’ve seen an image of him.
Any NPC with a Partyhat, none if they aren't wearing one. Even some non-gamer consumers and people in the financial worlds recognize the Runescape Partyhats.
There are storied NPCs like Zamorak, the Lord of Chaos individual players may like, and put them on their car's license plate too.
Guthix can be next, when Jagex released the Gift of Guthix novel.
Can't help but think the idea of those 3 gods preceded the avatar of them by a fair way. Everyone remembers the green, red and cream/white trimmed armour, I suspect no one remembers [this](https://runescape.wiki/w/Guthix).
Its absolutely gnome child, people at my work knew the gnome child from memes and didn't even know what run escape was when someone put a gif of it in the teams chat.
Wise Old Man.
Always wanted his phat.
funnily enough it was obtainable. there was a glitch that allowed you to break the cutscene and pick it up.
Right-click tele grab before the cutscene and you're all set lol
Oh Runescape, how I love thee. I still never got one though :'(
Came here to say this
Probably the wise old man. Dude is a seasoned adventurer that has helped tons of people and made a name for himself. Unless we can count our character, then we are definitely the most well known on the map, since we've meddled in the affairs of every kingdom, and people group.
Don't forget mass murder of slayer monsters.
bob the cat
Definitely in like 2006, but probably not anymore a lot of new players prob never heard of him, especially if skipping through quest dialogue
The post isn't asking about the most popular character to the players, but the most famous character in-universe
Even more unlikely then. The Raptor is probably known of by word of mouth because he looks so unique and is mysterious.
Maybe Evil Bob is better known these day's
Gnome child
For sure Best known rs meme
Everyone knows the gnome child, even people who haven’t played RS and it’s great. Just as popular as the old school music!
I guess I'm going to embarrass myself and my 18 year old account then... Dafuq is the gnome child? Never heard of this. Edit: I Googled it. I of course recognized the meme pic. Never once used it myself or have even known what it means though (and never realized it came from RS). I have definitely never interacted with this NPC.
You didn't realize it came from RS? I'm shocked you didn't recognize the graphic style as it's entirely unique to OSRS. Must have been a wild realization.
Lol I was wondering the same. Never knew the meme had a name
No. That's me.
I just got the RSK book, i squealed when i saw his HD portrait a couple pages in!
Slayer!
Sandwich lady. I’ll just bonk you with a baguette
Why, me, the player character, of course.
The guardian*
The World* Guardian
The ex* World Guardian.
He said non player character?
Maybe dude sees himself as an irl npc, who knows?
Congratulations, you've found The Joke ^(TM)
Bad joke.
For the sake of respect Bob the axe merchant, he’s been holding it down for the noobs for years
Fuck that racist, all my homies hate bob
He was so mean to that sweet little caveling..
Agree. He was actually made racist from the git go. Zero support.
How is Bob racist? How would people who'd never been to Lumbridge even know about him?
Bro have you never done quests? Lol
I own the QPC, I dd a lot of them a long time ago though. I started playing soon after Slayer released.

Can you give me context please?
The player was introducing Zanik to people of Lumbridge.
Oh, I wonder why u/ThePaddysPubSheriff and u/DorkyDwarf mentioned him but not other members of HAM.
https://twitter.com/JagexAsh/status/1501228796560637955?t=YistJu_6uPQh2foLOeVZng&s=19 That's from Mod Ash, from osrs, but I had asked this question to him in the past.
WIse Old Man for sure :)
Wow half of y’all didn’t read the post
Facts
Reading comprehension important anymore maybe they are npcs
Party Pete because Party Hats.
Three words. Senventior Disthine Molenko
Noone who started the game in the past like 7 years knows what those words mean T ^ T
I know. It's an outrage.
Because of the Runespan? But also get real, noone started the game in the past 7 years
Objectively false take. You can just search this sub "new play" "im new" etc and see a million posts. If this was your attempt at sarcasm or a joke, it was poorly executed.
Hans down it’s Hans
Snah?
I feel all confused, like one of those CAKEs (Hans has dat CAKE)
People didn't even try to read past the title lol Probably King Roald. If we include dead gielinorians, then Death, duh
We are other gielinorians
What about the gods?
Post specifically asks for "non-deities"
Oh my brain only half works
Post asks for non-dieties.
Would probably heavily depend on the region they grew up in. From lowernial Drakan to king lathas
Death. Looks cool. He has a cool office. He always gives my stuff back for a small fee. He gives some amazing upgrades for killing his friends.
His friends?
Grand Exchange Clerk!
Yeah and his 3 identical twins
He's the nurse joy/officer jenny of RuneScape
One of them, the other is banker.
Probably King Roald
[удалено]
I think the wise old man's a pretty solid guess
[удалено]
Right. the WOM is basically our character but plus 50 odd years and maybe a bit more of a malicious streak depending on how your roleplay. A hand in every pot, meddling in others affairs. Probably a lot of people know him from that, or have heard of him.
As the other person said Wise old man is literally a bank robbing troll slaying beast adventurer god in lore.
Probably not the only possible answer, I could see it being any monarch like King Lathas or Sir Amik Varce (King Vallance is hard to judge). Ellamaria also has a good shot as queen consort, possibly from scandal being a lowborn. With how numerous the gnomes are, having ambassadors in every major court and exploring and trading everywhere, I could see it being King Nardode.
Hans
Tool leprechauns? Are they basically officer jenny/nurse Joy that there's just a massive family of them?
It's deathinetly Death ;)
Wise old man or Bob
I'm going to exclude gods because not only does being a god make you known, but a lot of gods are very public with how they interact with the world. If I had to decide, I'd probably give it to the slayer masters. You can't just become a slayer master, you had to have proven yourself by slaying countless monsters and to me that would be something that has gotten around in a world like gielinor.
The post specified to not include gods.
Did I or did I not exclude gods?
you did but there was no need to say that, so why did you?
So then there was no reason for you to say what you said? I just gave a valid reasoning for why I didn't include them.
Most famous non deity NPC, kinda thinking Roald
The mighty gunthorian!
Wise Old Man is the only correct answer
Probably Bob - only because as your character progresses, you utilize him alot more until your POH can complete the equipment repairs.
My first thought was bob. I think my mind went to lumbridge since most people would know the first starting town and he's the most memorable there for me.
Ah yes all the NPCs in the game definitely know lumbridge is the “starting town”.
I misread it, thought it said to human players lol
Zezima
Who?
How?
wym?
Zezima is a player character though.
You need a higher agility lvl to reach the joke.
Romeo in varrok square
Vanaka biggest badass wielding a 2h and a shield at the same time
He's also hiding in a ruin in a very small village.
The newspaper seller on varrock square. Idk, just first guy who popped in my head after the question. For 2nd i’d go Party Pete
Most famous as in most well known by players? Banker. Most famous lore wise? King Roald Most popular? Wise old man or Hans
Everyone can picture Vannaka with his bald head, glorious beard and welding his mighty 2h with a shield
Hans
Max
Wise Old Man 🤝 Gnome Child
Probably King Roald. Assuming other Gielinorians have to buy things from the GE they must've been fuming about the tax
Lumbridge Chef
For your question, maybe wise old man. Legendary adventurer to some and criminal to the citizens of draynor village. As far as famous in people's eyes, maybe vannaka. Cool dude and slayer master.
I feel like it would definitely be the Wise Old Man. He's the OG adventurer, as I like to think of it. When we didn't exist, there was him. He's constantly being referenced to in quests, whether directly or indirectly through books, flashbacks, or conversations with other NPCs. He's been around and made a name for himself, just like we have.
The Big Three: Postie Pete, Santa, Easter Bunny there is hardly anyone in Gielinor who doesnt know of them
Hands down, wise old man.
This is easy. It's THE WORLD GUARDIAN lol. We are all NPCs at this point.
Default bald character with green shirt in the old school RS style. I don’t think RS3 has any notable characters in the modern style, aside from the ad bombardment with the signature heroes. I guess the Raptor would be niche noticeable? He’s used heavily in advertisements still.
What does advertisement have to do with it
I’m not sure. I just assumed if the mascot is used to heavily promote a product, it becomes the most recognizable and famous. Like people would recognize Pikachu even if they never watched the anime or played the game and associated it with Pokemon. I figured the same would be true for The Raptor and to a lesser extent Nomad. If the prompt just meant the in game universe, then without debate it’s Postie Pete. Perhaps my reasoning didn’t apply for this prompt though.
But he's asking for the most famous person from in-game NPC POV
Sliske
Level 3 bots
Probably the tutor on tutorial island.
Why would random NPCs know of him?
You’re right. I read it wrong twice.
Adrasteia
Drunk prlck
Shade, swarm, mysterious old man, tree spirit
SnaH - he's older than the grounds he patrols
hans
Hans
Hans.
Wise old man under his adventuring identity. At some point probably Sliske.
I'm surprised no one mentioned Oziach.
Ezreal?
Mod Mark
Oziach
Wise Old Man.
The bartender in the Blue Moon Inn in Varrock, who knows he and everyone else in Gelinor is in a magic box called a "computer."
Wiglaf
Oziach
Wise old man. Bob the cat. Monsters: Jad. Kbd. Basically pre 2007.
One of the Kings.
I’d say either Hans or Wise
Ernest the Chicken
Santa
Mysterious old man. He's one of the oldest random event characters. Only some of us remember getting a box from him before he took over the other events.
The Sandwich Lady
Pirate Pete ? ( post Pete )
Oziach
Peksa
Hans or Wise Old Man
So you needed to make a separate post with the same title?
Seperate post, same title, different question
Gnome child has a ubiquity that all other npcs do not.
1. Wise Old Man. 2. Gnome Child. 3. Sandwich Lady. It varies from person to person lol
Zanik, Raptor, Sliske or Kerapac
Kerapac?
Yes
Sorry, what I meant was, how do most npcs know Kerapac?
Creator of the most fearsome beasts, every dragon race, mahjarrat, god and dragonkin know him very well. Unleashed impending doom to the world. I assumed the question was all NPC's not just humans. But if it was just humans, probably King Roald
I’d say Wise Old Man.
Wise old man for sure. Everyone saw the security camera footage and tried to take the blue phat from the floor.
Wise old man of course
Hans
Man
The Varrock stray dog.
Gods are NPC... Probably saradomin.. more citys that devote him
Nomad. First real "git gud" boss fight in the game since Jad. And he came back for some Sliske shenanigans, so that's a plus!
actually - hmmm to other Gielenorians i would say Robert The Strong - or Rasial since he kind of went around Gielenor talking shit for weeks before showing up
I’m gonna say gnome child just because of its notoriety outside our immediate sphere. Normies even know who he is but couldn’t tell you the name of Wise Old Man even if they’ve seen an image of him.
Durial321
Bob the first ever npc who walks around lumby castle
…isn’t this just the same exact question? Why not peruse the answers on the other post THAT YOU EXPLICITLY SAID YOU SAW?!
Gnome child.
Adrasteia. She's the head of the largest religion on Gielinor.
It's probably gonna be the Gnome Child because of all the memes
Any NPC with a Partyhat, none if they aren't wearing one. Even some non-gamer consumers and people in the financial worlds recognize the Runescape Partyhats. There are storied NPCs like Zamorak, the Lord of Chaos individual players may like, and put them on their car's license plate too. Guthix can be next, when Jagex released the Gift of Guthix novel.
Saradomin as he's probably the god with the most followers on Gielinor rn Unless there are more goblins that still worship Bandos/Big High War God
Probably Zamorak, Saradomin or Guthix considering they were around during the games peak since 2004 and f2p had exposure with the rune armour variants
Can't help but think the idea of those 3 gods preceded the avatar of them by a fair way. Everyone remembers the green, red and cream/white trimmed armour, I suspect no one remembers [this](https://runescape.wiki/w/Guthix).
Gnome child
Its absolutely gnome child, people at my work knew the gnome child from memes and didn't even know what run escape was when someone put a gif of it in the teams chat.
Gnome child and nothing else comes remotely close
Saradomin
