PvP Rota
The PvP rota has moved to Period B:

The PvP Arena is using ‘1 Def Pure‘ loadouts in Ranked Duels and Tournaments this week.
Bear in mind that this encounter is designed for low to mid-level players, so our new Achievements only cover the Easy and Medium tiers. Here they are:
Easy
- Scurrius Novice: Kill Scurrius once.
- Sit Rat: Finish off Scurrius with a Rat Bone weapon in a private instance.
Medium
- Scurrius Champion: Kill Scurrius 10 times.
- Perfect Scurrius: Kill Scurrius in a private instance without taking damage from the following attacks: Tail Swipe and Falling Bricks. Pray correctly against the following attacks: Flying Fur and Bolts of Electricity.
- Efficient Pest Control: Kill six Giant Rats within Scurrius’ lair in three seconds.
If this is your first time trying the Combat Achievements, here are some tips:
- You’ll find all Combat Achievements in the Combat Tasks Completed section of your Character Overview panel.
- Here you can see how many tasks you’ve completed, bosses you’ve killed, raids you’ve completed – and which ones you’ve beaten the most times!
- Combat Achievements are broken down into tiers, ranging from Easy to Grandmaster.
- Opening the menu in the Combat Achievements panel swaps your view between Overview, Tasks, Bosses and Rewards.
- Combat Achievements will automatically trigger a completion pop-up and log it in your tracker.
- Play around in the Combat Tasks Completed panel and narrow it down to Scurrius to keep an eye on your progress.
And that’s it! For more news about Scurrius, you can read last week’s newspost.
