Monkey knife fighter

⌊undefined⌋

The Monkey knife fighter appears during and after the quest Do No Evil on Ape Atoll. The fighters are located in a building in the northern part of the town, due east of the building containing the Monkey Child encountered in the Monkey Madness quest. Five fighters are on the ground floor of the building, four on the first floor, and three on the second floor.

The fighters must be pickpocketed during the quest for their monkey knives, which are needed to arm the monkey guards at the Monkey camp. Six knives are needed. To pickpocket monkey knife fighters, the player must be wielding a gorilla greegree, must knock the monkey unconscious by punching it, and then must pickpocket the unconscious fighter. Even if the pickpocketing attempt appears to succeed, a knife is not always gained, so multiple attempts will need to be made.

After the quest, these monkeys can be pickpocketed for further Thieving experience and different loot.

Knocking a monkey knife fighter unconscious will reward the player with 20 Thieving experience, and pickpocketing the unconscious monkey will reward the player with 150 Thieving experience. Failing to knock a fighter unconscious, or trying to pickpocket from one while it is still conscious, will result in the player being hit for 60 damage and being stunned for a few seconds. With good attention, little failures and a high thieving level players can achieve experience rates of around 300k thieving experience per hour.

These monkeys are very close to 5 banana trees, which can provide bananas for healing if needed. Also, after the quest, the player may also get lobsters from pickpocketing the fighters, which can be used for healing. Players may also get coins from these fighers. There is a food store on Ape Atoll called Solihib's food stall, players can buy food here for healing.

After 3 failed attempts at knocking the knife fighter out, the player will be knocked out and sent to the jail on Ape Atoll. It is possible to escape as usual, if in monkey form, the monkeys on Ape Atoll will not attack.

Loot

 * }

Pickpocketing the fighters is one of the fastest ways to get black knives in quantity without purchasing them on the Grand Exchange.

Trivia

 * It is possible to knock out a fighter and then pickpocket at least twice (Up to 4 times if times right), if the player can click fast enough. Since both punching and pickpocketing require right clicks, for best speed players should switch to the single-mouse-button setting in the game's options.
