Okay maybe not, but they are the only "animal" you can find, capture, own, and raise in HoboWars. One of the biggest perks about owning a rat is that it can directly damage your opponent during hobo fights. You can also sign up your rats for duels in order to win some extra money.

Okay maybe not, but they are the only "animal" you can find, capture, own, and raise in HoboWars. One of the biggest perks about owning a rat is that it can directly damage your opponent during hobo fights. Rats can also help you outside of battles to gain extra money, [[food]], [[Drinking|booze]], or [[Pawn Shop|pawnables]].

Rats must be found and captured before they can be raised to become that formidable sidekick in hobo fights or powerful combatant in rat fights you want.  Rats can be found all over the HoboWorld and be trained to become a powerful attacker or formidable wall just like any hobo can.  You can even save their memory if you desire.  However, rats are pets and you must have a place for them in your hobo life.

Once you have purchased your rat cage, you can now go out and start catching rats! As previously mentioned, rats can be found all over the place. If you have a rat cage with an empty slot, you will automatically attempt to catch the rat when you find one.  You can release any captured rat you don't want by going to the rat page and selecting Abandon.

Rats are just like hobos in that they have stats that determine their worth.  Their stats can be trained and upgraded, and they have skills that can be increased to give additional benefits.

===Basic Rat Stats===
 
===Basic Rat Stats===
−
Rats have 4 stats that can be both trained and upgraded and 3 stats that can only be upgraded. These stats are what defines your rat's worth in the activities it performs. There is also a calculated stat (Index) whose value is based on the total amount of stats your rat currently has.
+
Rats have 5 main stats that can be variously increased via leveling, upgrades, and food. These stats are what defines your rat's worth in the activities it performs. There is also the rats' experience stat whose value shows the progress to the rat's next level.

| '''Lifespan''' is the total number of days your rat has left before it dies, and '''Age''' is the total number of days your rat has lived so far. Every major (AM) reset, your rat's Age increases by one day and its Lifespan  decreases by one day. Rats die once their Lifespan reaches zero. Additional Lifespan can be gained through upgrade purchases and the Vegetarianism skill.
+
| '''Life''' is the current vitality of your rat; '''''it is not''''' the total number of days your rat has left before it dies. '''Age''' is the total number of days your rat has lived so far. Every major (AM) [[reset]], your rat's Age increases by one day then its Life decreases by its age. Every minor reset (PM), you're rat's Life decreases by its age. Rats only die if their Life is below zero when major reset occurs. You can view a rat's current Lifespan (days til death) by hovering your pointer over its current Life. Additional Life can be gained through upgrade purchases and by feeding them meals.
−
| '''Hunger''' determines how much Energy your rat can gain through consuming food. It is reset every day during the major (AM) reset. Although rats can consume any food item in the game, they won't gain any secondary benefits that that food item would normally bestow upon hobos. Additional Max Hunger can be gained through upgrade purchases and the Buddhism skill.
+
| '''Meals''' determines how much you can feed. Your rat can gain experience and life through consuming food. Meals are gained once every 3 hours. Although rats can consume any food item in the game, they won't gain any secondary benefits that that food item would normally bestow upon hobos. Additional meals can be gained through upgrade purchases.

| '''Energy''' is similar to [[Awake]] as it's required to preform rat activities. It takes 30 Energy per hour for a rat to train, 10 Energy to fight another rat, and 30 Energy to sign up a rat for a duel. Rats regain 5 Energy every 20 minutes, taking 6 hours and 40 minutes to recover 100 Energy. A rat can also gain Energy by being fed [[food]] items. Additionally, Max Energy can be increased by upgrade purchases.
+
| '''Experience''' is pretty straightforward and works similar to your hobo. Instead of gaining Experience through fights or other actions, rat's gain it by consuming meals. Each time a rat levels, the more Experience is required for the next level. All meals provide Experience, however the amount gained varies between them. The Vegetarianism upgrade will increase the amount of Experience gained per meal while limiting the rat's diet to meatless meals.
−
| '''Agility''' is similar to your hobo's speed stat in that it provides your rat with more chances to attack. Agility can be gained through training and upgrade purchases. Agility can be further boosted by the Speed Mastery skill; however, the skill only affects rat fights and rat duels.
+
| '''Speed''' is similar to your hobo's speed stat in that it provides your rat with more chances to attack. The rat with the highest speed will tend to be the aggressor. Speed can be gained through leveling and upgrade purchases.

| '''Strength''' is similar to your hobo's power stat in that it provides your rat with offensive power. Strength can be gained through training and upgrade purchases. Strength can be further boosted by the Damage Mastery skill; however, the skill only affects rat fights and rat duels.
+
| '''Attack''' is similar to your hobo's power stat in that it provides your rat with offensive power. The damage the rat can deal is reduced by your opponent rat's defense. Attack can be gained through leveling and upgrade purchases.
−
| '''Concentration''' is similar to your hobo's strength stat in that it provides your rat with defense. Concentration can be gained through training and upgrades. Concentration can be further boosted by the Defense Mastery skill; however, the skill only affects rat fights and rat duels.
+
| '''Defense''' is similar to your hobo's Strength stat in that it provides your rat with defense. The higher your rat's defense, the less damage you'll receive from your opponent's rat. Defense can be gained through leveling and upgrades.

| '''Vitality''' is similar to your hobo's life stat. Vitality can be gained through training and upgrade purchases. Vitality only matters in rat fights and rat duels.
+
| '''Level''' dictates the total amount of upgrades you can give your rat along with increasing the rat's Speed, Attack, and Defense stats. '''Cheese''' is gained for each rat level and can be used to purchase rat upgrades. The effectiveness of some rat specials improves with the rat's level.
−
| '''Index''' determines what other rats you can fight and increases as a rat's stats or level increases.<br /><br /><u>Rat Index Formula:</u><br />'''Index''' = ''1 + (&nbsp;Int{&nbsp;0.02&nbsp;[&nbsp;(&nbsp;Level&nbsp;*&nbsp;5&nbsp;) + Agility&nbsp;+ Concentration&nbsp;+ Strength&nbsp;+ (&nbsp;Vitality&nbsp;/&nbsp;4&nbsp;)&nbsp;]&nbsp;}&nbsp;)''
+
| '''Specials''' are generally unique to each rat type, providing benefits either during or outside of hobo battles. Some Specials increase in effectiveness the higher your rat's level.

There is also an unused rat stat called '''Weight'''.  This was introduced when <span style='color:blue'>'''Governor Malord'''</span> was still coding for the game, but was never finalized before Malord left.

===<span id="train">Training Stats</span>===
+
===<span id="train">Gaining Stats</span>===
−
You can train your rat's battle stats on HoboWars, HoboWars2, and Facebook Hobowars. Rats can gain ''[0.40 + (0.01 * Training Mastery Level ) ]'' Agility / Strength / Concentration or ''[2 + (0.05 * Training Mastery Level) ]'' Vitality per train. It costs 30 Energy per training session and rats gain their stats on the hour. Rats cannot train their Lifespan, Hunger, or Energy stats. Although there is no limit to how long a rat can be trained for (as long as it has the Energy required for that training session's duration), once a rat's training session is set up, it must be '''completed in full''' before another one can be set up.
+
In the previous rat system, you had to train your rats' stats. In the current system training has been removed. Each rat simply gains stats from leveling, the amount of gain is based off the rats initial stats when captured. Hobo's further increase individual stats by purchasing upgrades.
  
−
On HoboArena, you cannot train your rats stats. Rat Stats are based on a rat's level.
+
===Upgrades===
 +
Upgrading your rat will cost you a bit of money and cheese. You can purchase unlimited upgrades for each rat stat. The Vegetarianism and Buddhism upgrades are limited to one purchase per rat. To purchase an upgrade, have the required money on hand and the required amount of cheese. Each upgrade of the same type increases in cash cost every purchase and increases in cheese cost every 5th purchase.

===Rat Levels===
+
−
You can have your rat fight to gain experience. Rats can only attack other rats that have either the same Index or &plusmn;1 Index that they currently have. Rats gain 3 experience for defeating a rat of a lower Index, 4 experience for defeating a rat of the same Index, and 5 experience for defeating a rat of a higher Index. For every attack on the same rat, you will gain one less experience. Once you attack a rat three times in one day, you will be unable to attack it until the next major (AM) reset occurs.
+
−
 
+
−
Every level your rat gains grants it 3 free stat upgrades and 1 free Skill point.
+
−
 
+
−
As your rat gain levels, you can level up its Skills.
+
−
 
+
−
===Rat Skills===
+
−
 
+
−
Rats gain skills through leveling, and those skills offer a wide range of enhancements, from boosts to battle stats during fights, to increasing your non-battle stats.

Rats can be very helpful in your quest to conquer other hobos in your fights.  Rat attacks happen every 5 rounds in fights.  The rat that does attacks that round in the fight is based on the rats agility stat.  If you have more then one rat, you can choose which rat will fight by choosing the Hobo Fights link on the toolbar and clicking the image of the rat you want fighting.

Generally speaking, the higher your hobo's level, the more damage your rat will do if it gets the hits in hobo fights. Damage is also influenced by the Strength and Index of the attacking rat and the Concentration of the defending rat. The rat's Speed determines which rat is the one that attacks.

Your rat's Vitality does not play a role in determining how much damage it does in hobo fights.
+
−
 
+
−
==Duels==
+
−
You can duel your rats against the rats of other hobos. The purpose of dueling was to determine which hobo could create the ultimate rat setup, as well as gain a little monetary bonus. To duel your rat, it must have a minimum index of 5, a minimum level of 5, and have a lifespan of at least 2. It costs $15,000 and 30 rat energy to sign up for a duel. Once you have the money in hand, go to the "Sign up" link to enter your rat into the dueling world, and then use the "Manage arena" page to chose your dueling partner. Your rats cannot duel each other, only rats from another hobo.
+
−
 
+
−
Rat duels do not happen immediately after the pair is set. This is because hobos can wager bets on the duels. Any hobo can make a bet, but be warned that once you make a bet of any type, the bet cannot be unmade. 
+
−
 
+
−
For winning a duel, you receive $40,000 + 2% of the total amount bet on your duel as well as a small amount of exp. You receive nothing for losing a duel.
+
−
 
+
−
<u>Rat Duel Payout Formula:</u><br />'''Payout''' = ''( Your&nbsp;Bet&nbsp;/&nbsp;Total&nbsp;of&nbsp;Winning&nbsp;Bets ) * Total&nbsp;Amount&nbsp;of&nbsp;All&nbsp;Bets''

Rats
explore8.gif

Rats are a hobo's best friend!

Okay maybe not, but they are the only "animal" you can find, capture, own, and raise in HoboWars. One of the biggest perks about owning a rat is that it can directly damage your opponent during hobo fights. Rats can also help you outside of battles to gain extra money, food, booze, or pawnables.

Rats must be found and captured before they can be raised to become that formidable sidekick in hobo fights or useful assistant in your everyday hoboing. Rats can be found all over the HoboWorld and be trained to become a powerful attacker or formidable wall just like any hobo can. However, rats are pets and you must have a place for them in your hobo life.

Obtainment

Rat Cages
Name Cost
One-Slot Cage $50,000
Two-Slot Cage $250,000
Three-Slot Cage* $500,000

*Only donators can purchase this rat cage.

Rats can be found all across HoboWorld. However, before you can run around catching rats you must first purchase a Rat Cage to put them all in. Fortunately, the Pet Shop in the City sells rat cages, from one-slot cages that can only hold one rat to three-slot cages that hold up to three! You can only own one type of rat cage at a time; when you purchase a different one, the one you currently have gets thrown out with no refund and replaced by the new cage. So, no, you can't have five three-slot cages or one three-slot cage, one two-slot cage, and one one-slot cage. Therefore, it is highly recommended to buy a two-slot cage if you a non-donator or a three-slot cage if you are a donator. (If you lose your donator status, you still get to keep and use the three-slot cage; it does not disappear or get downgraded to a two-slot cage.)

Once you have purchased your rat cage, you can now go out and start catching rats! As previously mentioned, rats can be found all over the place. If you have a rat cage with an empty slot, you will automatically attempt to catch the rat when you find one. You can release any captured rat you don't want by going to the rat page and selecting Abandon.

Most of the locations to find rats can be found in the listing of rats below

Rat Stats

Rats are just like hobos in that they have stats that determine their worth. Their stats can be trained and upgraded, and they have skills that can give additional benefits.

Basic Rat Stats

Rats have 5 main stats that can be variously increased via leveling, upgrades, and food. These stats are what defines your rat's worth in the activities it performs. There is also the rats' experience stat whose value shows the progress to the rat's next level.

Life / Age Meals
Life is the current vitality of your rat; it is not the total number of days your rat has left before it dies. Age is the total number of days your rat has lived so far. Every major (AM) reset, your rat's Age increases by one day then its Life decreases by its age. Every minor reset (PM), you're rat's Life decreases by its age. Rats only die if their Life is below zero when major reset occurs. You can view a rat's current Lifespan (days til death) by hovering your pointer over its current Life. Additional Life can be gained through upgrade purchases and by feeding them meals. Meals determines how much you can feed. Your rat can gain experience and life through consuming food. Meals are gained once every 3 hours. Although rats can consume any food item in the game, they won't gain any secondary benefits that that food item would normally bestow upon hobos. Additional meals can be gained through upgrade purchases.
Experience Speed
Experience is pretty straightforward and works similar to your hobo. Instead of gaining Experience through fights or other actions, rat's gain it by consuming meals. Each time a rat levels, the more Experience is required for the next level. All meals provide Experience, however the amount gained varies between them. The Vegetarianism upgrade will increase the amount of Experience gained per meal while limiting the rat's diet to meatless meals. Speed is similar to your hobo's speed stat in that it provides your rat with more chances to attack. The rat with the highest speed will tend to be the aggressor. Speed can be gained through leveling and upgrade purchases.
Attack Defense
Attack is similar to your hobo's power stat in that it provides your rat with offensive power. The damage the rat can deal is reduced by your opponent rat's defense. Attack can be gained through leveling and upgrade purchases. Defense is similar to your hobo's Strength stat in that it provides your rat with defense. The higher your rat's defense, the less damage you'll receive from your opponent's rat. Defense can be gained through leveling and upgrades.
Level / Cheese Specials
Level dictates the total amount of upgrades you can give your rat along with increasing the rat's Speed, Attack, and Defense stats. Cheese is gained for each rat level and can be used to purchase rat upgrades. The effectiveness of some rat specials improves with the rat's level. Specials are generally unique to each rat type, providing benefits either during or outside of hobo battles. Some Specials increase in effectiveness the higher your rat's level.


Gaining Stats

In the previous rat system, you had to train your rats' stats. In the current system training has been removed. Each rat simply gains stats from leveling, the amount of gain is based off the rats initial stats when captured. Hobo's further increase individual stats by purchasing upgrades.

Upgrades

Upgrading your rat will cost you a bit of money and cheese. You can purchase unlimited upgrades for each rat stat. The Vegetarianism and Buddhism upgrades are limited to one purchase per rat. To purchase an upgrade, have the required money on hand and the required amount of cheese. Each upgrade of the same type increases in cash cost every purchase and increases in cheese cost every 5th purchase.

Rats can be very helpful in your quest to conquer other hobos in your fights. Rat attacks happen every 5 rounds in fights. The rat that does attacks that round in the fight is based on the rats speed stat. If you have more then one rat, you can choose which rat will fight by choosing the Hobo Fights link on the toolbar and clicking the image of the rat you want fighting.

Rat Damage during Fights

Generally speaking, the higher your hobo's level, the more damage your rat will do if it gets the hits in hobo fights. Damage is also influenced by the Attack stat of the attacking rat and the Dfense of the defending rat. The rat's Speed determines which rat is the one that attacks.

General FAQ

How do I keep rats I find?

In order to own a rat, you must buy a rat cage from the Pet Shop. If you have an open slot in your cage, you will automatically obtain the rat.

What is the best type of rat?

The best starting type is the Golden Rat. But as they are almost impossible to get every time, the second best is a toss-up depending on your game-play amount, style, and demand, and how much T you are willing to spend to obtain it. You might want something with a high starting energy, something with great beginning stats, or maybe just the greatest lifespan out there. Re-visit the table above to pick which fits your needs.

Is there a limit to the number of rounds a rat fight can go?

The limit is 999 moves, after that it simply says "**** and **** made draw."

My rat has negative lifespan. Can I keep it alive?

Having a negative lifespan doesn't mean your rat's life is over. If you can increase its life back to 0 or higher before major reset then its life will be spared another day.

What is the purpose of the Cemetery?

Rats earn a their spot in the cemetery when they reach level 10. This will save some of your rats information for you to look up after it dies or to re-purpose is you're friends with a necromancer.

If I have a 1 slot cage and purchase a 2 or 3 slot cage, will my rat be lost?

No, your rat will still be there, you'll just receive extra slots.

Can I change the order of the rats in my cage?

No, you cannot.
