PoisonNotes
Orc Riders are orcish elite troops mounted on grim war wolves. Their fearsome steeds make them fast and agile while their heavy lances can deal impressive damage. Orc Rider patrols can mostly be found in the plains of Tibia where the terrain is ideal for mounted combat. It is very difficult to run away from a pack of Orc Riders once you have had the misfortune to meet them.
These mounted orcs are strong but can be tricked with Invisibility. They don't drop Wolf Paws. Orcish Axes can be looted easily and sold for a good price to NPCs.
Orc Riders also drop Orc Tusks during raids of the Machinery of War Quest.
Behaviour
Orc Riders fight to the death.
An orc rider attacks in melee range.
Strategy
If you are a Mage, use Invisible and runes, Stoneshower or GFB are useful because Orc Riders are usually found in groups. Premium mages should try to use Terra Strike to minimise waste.
History
Although the sprites for orc rider were implemented on Update 7.0, the first known spawns of this creature were probably only implemented with the Ulderek's Rock revamp on Update 7.2.
