Loot
Every ratman archer carries:
- Gold: about 260–350 in total (from its "Rich" loot)
- 50–70 arrows
- its bow
It may also carry:
- A magic weapon, armor piece or shield (up to 3 chances, from about 20% down to 1% each)
- A musical instrument (about 1% or less)
Carving
Use a blade on the corpse to get:
- 8 spined hides
Location
- Champion spawn: it is a level 4 creature of the Vermin Horde champion spawn (champion: Barracoon), so it appears at the fixed Vermin Horde altar at 5557, 827, and any of the 11 Lost Lands altars that rolls Vermin Horde. Each one killed during a spawn gives the killer Valor and champion-title progress.
- The Deceit brazier (a scripted item named for the dungeon Deceit): double-clicking it from within 2 tiles summons one creature picked at random from a list of about 90, and this is one of them. The brazier warns players who step next to it ("Heed this warning well, and use this brazier at your own peril"). It works once every 15 minutes and places the creature within 5 tiles. The summoned creature is set to attack the closest target, even if it would normally leave you alone, and it stays within 5 tiles of the brazier.
Champion spawns only exist if the staff have generated them (with the staff command [GenChamps); the code doesn't say whether that's been done on New Bradford.
Tips
- Close in fast; it prefers to shoot from range.
- Its armor rating of 56 is high for its level.
- Carve it for 8 spined hides.
- It rummages through corpses, so loot your kills before it reaches them.
