Boss Thoby's Pest Control Guide
How to get there and start:
To get to the Void Knight Island, you'll first have to teleport using the Minigame Teleport and then the Pest Control option.
When you get teleported to the island, you'll have to run straight south, until you reach a boat with a 'gangplank' inbetween the boat and the dock. When using the option 'Cross Gangplank', you get teleported into the boat.
To start a game of Pest Control there are a few requirements:
- There cannot be another active game at the same time.
- You only need 1 person to start pest control, but is advised to has atleast 3 people with level 50+ in combat stats.
When fulfilling these requirements, the game is ready to start. When the 'Next Departure' string says 0, the game will start. You'll get teleported into another boat, which is north of a even bigger island.
How to Play:
The objective of the minigame isn't really that complicated. You'll have to kill all four the portals on the island.
All the portals have 200 hitpoints and quiet low defensive stats. To get rewarded for a round of Pest Control, you need to deal atleast 5 hitpoint damage. Otherwise you'll not gain any pest control points at all. While attacking the portals, some minions will spawn. They do not hit high and aren't really important either. Killing them has no real point, except for getting your damage counter up.
Gear:
For the Pest Control Minigame I'd advice just any weapon and armour set that is accurate and has a high strength bonus. If you don't have a lower defence level then 40, I wouldn't worry about dieing because the minions won't hit too often and won't hit hard at all. Also, I'd probably advice melee setup; because this will deal higher amounts of damage in a shorter period of time. A special attack weapon is also adviced. These will help you strongly because after every round, your special attack gets restored back to 100%.
After successful game:
When you've managed to kill all 4 the portals, you'll gain exactly 8 Pest Control points & Coins depending on your combat level (combatlevel x 1,000gp). But, there is a small chance that after a successful round, your points will be taken by 'Death' for his WildyWyrm minigame. This happens randomly, and can sometimes be quite annoying.
Rewards:
After playing a few rounds of Pest Control, you can review the rewards that you've gained. You can access the reward shop by using the 'Exchange' option on one of the Void Knights.
All the rewards:
- Void Knight Top - 80 points
- Void Knight Robe - 80 points
- Void Knight Mace - 30 points
- Void Knight Gloves - 60 points
- Void Knight Mage Helm - 80 points
- Void Knight Ranger Helm - 80 points
- Void Knight Melee Helm - 80 points
The Void Armour Sets:
The Void Armour sets(rewarded from the Pest Control minigame) are quiet interesting armour sets. Completing a full set will gain you a special effect, depending on the helm you're wearing. The set effect is determined by which helm you're wearing(making it either Magic, Ranged or Melee oriented). To 'complete' a set, you'll need to wear:
- a Void Knight Top
- a Void Knight Robe
- Void Knight Gloves
- Any Void Knight Helmet, depending on the 'set bonus' you want.
