Pest Control

A team minigame from Port Sarim. Destroy the four portals while keeping the Void Knight alive, then spend your points on Void Knight equipment or trade them for combat XP.

A team minigame on the Void Knights' outpost. Defend the Void Knight while you destroy the four portals the pests come out of, then spend your points on Void Knight equipment or straight XP.

How a game works

There is one lander. Board it and the game starts when the boat leaves. On the island, the Void Knight (250 hitpoints) must survive while you destroy all four portals (200 hitpoints each). Every portal starts behind a shield: the first shield drops about 15 seconds in, and the others follow one by one every 30 seconds. Destroy all four portals in time to win.

Trading points for XP

You can trade points for XP in any combat skill you have at 25 or higher. Each point is worth (your level squared / 600, rounded down) times a skill factor: 35 for Attack, Strength, Defence and Hitpoints, 32 for Ranged and Magic, 18 for Prayer. Spending 10 or more points at once adds 1%, and 100 or more adds 10%.
