The Rat Pits

 

 

 

Note: This minigame is 'High Risk' for your cat, under some circumstances your cat can die!

 

 

 

After completing the Rat Catchers Quest you will gain access to the Rat Pits. There are four Rat Pits, one for each type of cat:

 

 

 

* The Ardougne Rat Pits are for kittens.

 

* The West Varrock Rat Pits are for cats.

 

* The Keldagrim Rat Pits are for overgrown cats.

 

* The Port Sarim Rat Pits are for wily cats.

 

 

 

The rat pits are like a Duel Arena for cats. You must challenge another player to a 'duel.' Your cat will then be placed into the ring; you must decide on how many rats are to be killed. The first cat to kill the required number of rats will win. You may also bet on the outcome of the games; you may wager from 100 to 20,000 gp on the result.

 

 

 

While at the Rat Pits you need your Catspeak Amulet. With this amulet equipped you can instruct your cat to follow one of four sets of tactics:

 

 

 

* "Just take care of yourself cat."

 

* "Stay in for as long as you can."

 

* "No guts, no glory!"

 

* "Go berserk!"

 

 

 

These tactics determine how aggressively your cat will behave in the fight (if you forget your amulet your cat will not retreat). In the first two cases there is the chance that your cat will run away when injured, in the last two options your cat will obey you to its last breath - you will not get it back! However, if your cat is too timid you may lose the game anyway - the choice is yours.

 

 

 

Tip: the better (more) you train your cat on rats outside the pits, the stronger your cat will be in fights. Stronger cats are more likely to win and more likely to survive a more aggressive fighting style.

This is posted in the pet care guide, however, with the advent of a specific world, I believe that this should be made into a standalone guide. While it is very short for a standalone guide, I feel that it would help with the organization of the site.

Coax someone to write us a guide. ;) I've never even seen a player made guide for this.

 

 

 

In the meantime, it would seem best for us to add the Rat Pits world to the Pet Care Guide, rather than splitting out those few paragraphs.

point taken. w138 is the official rat pits world.

added world, also went to Rat catcher's quest guide and added a link to rat pits section of pet care guide.
