The Pit



The Pit is a Distraction and Diversion released on 12 October 2011. It is Agility-based and gives Agility experience and a Gorilla mask if completed.

By completing a lap on an agility course, players may attract the attention of a Talent scout. Remember: it doesn't matter if you fail obstacles (Like the Death Slide in the Werewolf Agility Course), there is always a chance to be attracted after completing a full lap. If a greenish arrow is flashing above the Scout's head, talk to him to be offered the chance to go to The Pit. You will also receive a coloured infobox message when he is interested in you. If he is not spoken to within a minute or so, he will lose interest, and the opportunity will be missed.

Players with an Agility cape can speak to the Talent scout for free shots at the events. After completing an event, a small amount of experience will be received, but the experience cannot be gambled. The gorilla mask can be attained by talking to the Talent scout after removing the Agility cape.

Once at the pit, players will be set one of the challenges to complete, chosen at random. Completion of the task will give the player will be given a large amount of experience, the chance to gamble it all, and a Gorilla Mask. Failure will result in the player being granted experience similar to completion of a lap of the course they were previously on.

After getting noticed by the talent scout, you cannot get noticed again for one hour.

The courses that the talent scout recruits from are:
 * Gnome Stronghold agility course (basic and advanced)
 * Agility Pyramid
 * Barbarian Outpost (basic and advanced)
 * Ape Atoll Agility Course
 * Wilderness Agility Course
 * Werewolf Agility Course
 * Dorgesh-Kaan agility course
