The Rat Cave, also known as the Ratman Mine, is a 2-level dungeon with a Ratmanspawn area in front of the entrance. Located in Ilshenar, it can be found by traveling North from the Sacrifice Moongate or East from Lakeshire.
The Rat Cave was introduced with Ultima Online: Third Dawn and is a Paragondungeon. While Ilshenar Minor Artifacts are a reward for combat here, Paragon creatures are a possible challenge.
Ratman Mine Entrance
- Ratman
- Ratman Archer
- Ratman Mage
The ruins of a building complex are now home to a pack of Ratmen. Being so close to Lakeshire, one would think the Meer would patrol this area, but they do not. The spawn rate is low enough for a single character to farmgold here without much danger.
Ratman Mine Level 1
- Ratman
- Ratman Mage
- Earth Elemental
It is easy to mine most of this level. All of it, if your miner can handle a Paragon Earth Elemental. Several areas have no spawn at all.
Ratman Mine Level 2
- Bone Knight
- Lava Lizard
- Skeletal Dragon
- Skeletal Drake
- Skeletal Knight
Most of this level is inhabited by Lava Lizards, which are a fair source ofSpined Hides. However, the Skeletal Dragon that is located at the back, or West end, of level 2 should be avoided by all but the most skilled.
