Purple cat (miniquest)


 * This article is about the "Purple cat" miniquest. For the item, please see Purple cat.

The Purple Cat miniquest is unlocked after the completion of the Swept Away quest, and was released during the 2008 Hallowe'en event.

Details
WARNING: If you bring your Hellcat of any kind to become dyed, Wendy will tell you that it will be REVERTED to a NORMAL CAT. TAKE CAUTION! Also, be sure to read the note at the end prior to turning a lazy/wily cat purple.

Starting off

 * Start by talking to Wendy, near Maggie, just west of the Legends' Guild.
 * Ask Wendy about purple cats. She will tell you to bring her a Cat and some magic unguent. She says you can get it from Lottie, who is working with Betty in Port Sarim.  Lottie is in Betty's Magic Emporium basement.
 * Talk to Lottie. She will tell you the unguent is in the same chest from the Swept Away quest, but Betty has strengthened security and you must move all 6 animals at least once this time.
 * Lottie will give you the magic slate again to view your progress during the miniquest.

The puzzle (Take two)

 * This is essentially a smaller puzzle box, see the Treasure Trail Puzzle box guide, and can be solved using the same methods. By solving one of the vertical columns the rest is no different than the first puzzle.

Puzzle solution

 * 1) Blackbird to empty holding pen
 * 2) Reptile to Blackbird pen
 * 3) Rat to Rat pen
 * 4) Snail to Reptile pen
 * 5) Spider to Spider pen
 * 6) Bat to Snail pen
 * 7) Reptile to Bat pen
 * 8) Spider to Blackbird pen
 * 9) Snail to Spider pen
 * 10) Rat to Reptile pen
 * 11) Spider to Rat pen
 * 12) Reptile to Blackbird pen
 * 13) Bat to Bat pen
 * 14) Snail to Snail pen
 * 15) Reptile to Spider pen
 * 16) Spider to Blackbird pen
 * 17) Rat to Rat pen
 * 18) Reptile to Reptile pen
 * 19) Spider to Spider pen
 * 20) Blackbird to Blackbird pen

Finishing up

 * Once the puzzle has been solved, open the chest to obtain a vial of Magic unguent.
 * Take this back to Wendy, along with a cat, to dye your cat purple.

Note: If you try to use a hellcat, you will receive a warning message saying that the potion will tame your cat and it will be "de-helled." You can repeatedly take your cats to be made purple without having to re-obtain the unguent. This will also work with kittens.

Congratulations, miniquest complete!
