Introduction and Basic Information

 

 

Pest Control is a co-operative, combat-based activity/mini-game in Alora. Unlike in Old School RuneScape where you must defend the Void Knight from the pests (monsters), you must only ravage all the portals from which the monsters spawn. Pest Control is a safe activity/mini-game. Players who die will keep their items, and those who play on the Hardcore Iron Man game mode will keep their status. 

 

Pest Control is not soloable and a minimum of 4 players is needed in order for the Pest Control activity/mini-game to begin. The only requisite to participate in a game of Pest Control is to have a combat level of 40 or above. To receive points at the end of the activity/mini-game, you must deal a minimum damage of 30, which you can do by ravaging portals and killing monsters.

 

To get to Pest Control, enter in the command ::/;;PC or have the Teleport Wizard located at Home/Edgeville teleport you there (under mini-game teleports). Afterwards run South and enter in the novice boat.

 

Pests and Portals

 

 

Pests are the monsters that spawn out of portals to kill players. Players receive points for dealing damange to the monsters.

Experience boosts do not affect, however, the more points you trade in at once, the more bonus experience you will receive. 

 

Experience is rewarded according to the formula from the image above.

 

((N x floor(L^2 / 600)) x gameModeMultiplier) / 4

L = level

N = 18 for Prayer, 32 for Ranged and Magic, and 35 for others

Floor is a round down to the nearest whole number

gameModeMultiplier = The experience rate for your game mode, for example this is 8 for HCIM.

 

Void Knight Equipment

 

 

Void Knight armour contributes Defence bonuses to all stats equally (including Ranged and Magic) without lowering any attack bonuses. The set bonus (see down below) makes the armour a popular choice for all forms of attack (Melee, Ranged, and Magic).

 

 Void Knight Melee - +10% to melee damage and accuracy

 Void Knight Ranger - +10% to ranged damage and accuracy

 Void Knight Magic - +45% to magic accuracy

 

 Elite Void Robes - Gives a Prayer bonus of +3 per piece, and provides an additional damage boost of 2.5% to both the Ranger and Magic sets.
