Find Guard Rahtiz at loc -213.58, -109.30, +14.62 and hail him. A Task window will pop up.

You say, 'Hail, Guard Rahtiz

Guard Rahtiz says, 'Greetings, _____. We're glad you found your way to our camp. We can use all the help we can get!'

You have been assigned the task 'Clearing the Vermin Nests'

The vermin infesting these tunnels threaten our scarce provisions. If you want to help our revolt, start by clearing the tunnel beyond of rats and bats. Speak with Vahlara when you've finished your hunt and she will reward you with a pair of stitched leggings. They're not much, but they're all we can spare right now.

(Hint: You may also speak with Wijdan in the slave revolt camp after you finish this mission. He's interested in buying any rat fur you've acquired.)

Kill 8 Cave Rats 0/8 (The Mines of Gloomingdeep)
Kill 4 Cave Bats 0/4 (The Mines of Gloomingdeep)
Destroy 4 Vermin Nests 0/4 (The Mines of Gloomingdeep)

The rats and bats start appearing just down the tunnel, and they'll be plentiful in the next two rooms, the Gloomfang Lair not included. The Gloomfang Lair is easy to spot by the spider webbing hanging by the entrance.

While hunting rats, keep a good eye out for a white named rat called Rufus. He pops in random locations anywhere that rats and bats does and he will occasionally drop some good stuff.

Kill 8 Cave Rats and 4 Cave Bats - you'll come across little piles of rock here and there - more specifically at loc -391.49, -327.46, -37.32 and loc -457.80, -392.40, -39.04, at loc -525.51, -341.15, -39.35 and -587.16, -418.26, -39.91. Those are the Vermin Nests. Select them and type /open. Open 4 of these.

Speak with Vahlara 0/1 (The Mines of Gloomingdeep)

Once all is done, head up to speak to Vahlara in the slave revolt camp, loc -80.48, -49.94, +16.10.

You say 'Hail, Vahlara'

Your task 'Clearing the Vermin Nests' has been updated.

Vahlara says, 'Well done. The revolt's food supply is safe for the time being. Report back to the guards when you're rested.'

You gain experience!!

You receive leggings based on your class.

(Opt) Speak with Wijdann to sell your loot 0/1 (The Mines of Gloomingdeep)

(This is simply to let you know you can sell loot to a vendor.)

In the F2P Gloomingdeep Revamp, Stitched Burlap Pants are no longer awarded for this task. The new rewards are Gloomingdeep Kobold leggings based on class type, with the item being equivalent to Crude Defiant in terms of stats (but NOT focus/instrument resonance)

I may be mistaken on the names -- haven't done the tasks on all armour types, and the leather/cloth are not in Lucy/Alla's DB. In any case, the stats are identical to crude defiant pieces, except that they lack any focus effects/instrument resonance.

Rufus does count as a cave rat for this quest.
