Meriana is a small island north of Vandura in the Shattered Isles. A small group of rebels have created the settlement of Sabrehaven here to escape the oppression of the Thaian guard in Liberty Bay.
There is a steep mountain range along the southern coast, which serves as a disguise to prevent detection by the Thaian Guard that has occupied Vandura. Left to themselves, the small rebel group are generally undisturbed by the officials of Liberty Bay.
The island itself is fairly safe, with only small frogs, crabs and wasps and the occasional centipede found wandering on the beaches and in the palm trees. There are spiders and tarantulas in the mountain as well as a tiger.
It is the only island in the Shattered Isles that doesn't have a known underground cave.
Rats run away at 5 or less hp, can be pushed by players or stronger monsters, can't push other monsters or boxes.
Field Notes:
Killing those small creatures is the best way for a newcoming unequipped player to earn some money and experience.
You can also sell dead rats to NPCs Seymour, Billy and Tom on Rookgaard for additional cash. Also Baxter in thais buy rats for 1gp. It is very curious that, even tough they are probably the first enemy you fight when you start playing, they are the enemy which, in average, kills more players daily.
Rookgaard and Mainland, in most sewers and caves near towns. They can be found almost everywhere in Tibia.
Strategy:
Any Vocation: Just attack them, they shouldn't be a problem to a level 8+ (if it isn't a raid). No Vocation: Be careful with them, if many rats come to you, try to stand in a place where only 1 or 2 rats can attack you and try to avoid getting trapped by them.
