Skill Pets & Family Pest Miniquest

This week we've got four new skilling pets up for grabs as well as an all new miniquest and even more quality of life features!


Skill Pets

The second batch of skilling pets is here! Those of you committed to the grind now have a chance, albeit a very small one, of getting your hands on a cute, skilling-related follower to show off to all your friends. Skilling pets are now available for Agility, Farming, Thieving & Runecrafting!

Agility - Giant Squirrel - Obtained when completing any agility course and from Brimhaven arena ticket dispensers.



Farming - Tangleroot - Obtained from the Tithe farm and when checking the health and harvesting the final crops of any fully grown farming patch.



Thieving - Raccoon - Obtained when stealing from stalls, pickpocketing from NPCs, picking fruit in the Sorceress’ garden and looting grand gold chests within Pyramid Plunder.



Runecrafting - Rift Guardian - Obtained when crafting any runes at their respective altars. The Rift Guardian can transform into a style for each type of rune, to do so simply craft runes at the altar with the Guardian following you.



Family Pest Miniquest

All adventurers love rewards don't they? Well who better than the wealthy Fitzharmon family of the Family Crest quest to give you them. A new miniquest awaits, who knows what problem they have this time but maybe that is for you to find out. Speak to Dimintheis in south eastern Varrock to start Family Pest !



As a reward, you will be granted the ability to own each of the brothers gauntlets, Chaos gauntlets, Goldsmithing gauntlets & Cooking gauntlets at the same time!

Nature Grotto Agility Shortcut

A new agility shortcut has been added between the fairy ring island in the River Salve & Mort Myre Swamp near the Nature grotto, requiring 50 Agility.
