14.2 VERMIN HUNTING
Whether in the form of disease-ridden vermin that infest cities and plague forest communes, vermin are the bane of all cultures. For many, vermin are a blight that must be endured, but others see walking gold sovereigns--indeed, many a resourceful youth has taken advantage of the largesse of cities and communes who pay handsomely for the eradication of these pests.

You must be in the same room as the buyer. Because there are so many vermin wandering about and because seeing them enter and exit can become annoying, the command VERMIN will toggle on and off your ability to notice them. Generally, you will want to turn this off while you are not out hunting. When you see a vermin dart out of its hiding spot, by all means, slay it before it can run away. Once a certain number have been slain in a location, no more will appear there until a new Lusternian day. Generally, you'll find that a sewer location contains more rats than a normal city street. I CAN'T FIND ANY VERMIN ----------------------- As noted above, rats only appear in cities and sewers, and weevils only appear in forest communes. Weevils will sometimes appear in tree elevations and pigeons can sometimes appear flying. Beyond that, only a few vermin may be killed in any particular place before they get wise and won't return until the next Lusternian day. VERMIN STATS ------------ There are varying types of vermin. Ranging from most common to least common (which also corresponds to least valuable to most valuable), they are: VERMIN TYPE VERMIN PAYMENT RATES ----------- --------------------- baby 7 gold sovereigns small 14 gold sovereigns medium 21 gold sovereigns large 28 gold sovereigns extra-large 35 gold sovereigns
