The Pepper Pot is a maze located in southeastern Ankh-Morpork.

It is an easy way for young, new players to earn money as the sacks and the rats respawn rather quickly.

Usually the higher up you go in floors, you will find more dangerous rats and sacks that give more rewards.

Harold Rye

You can collect sacks dropped all over the maze and tails of rats (you have to kill them first) to sell to Harold Rye in the Pepper Pot office.

To get the tails, you can hold knife and then type take tail from bodies (make sure you have a knife that can take body parts)

You can type sell sack or give tails to harold to sell your findings at the pepper pot office. You can also use list and buy sacks as the offics is also a shop.

Below are the prices for the sacks if sold to Harold

Type             Pryce        Reward

Rye              A$15         A$0.70
Corn             A$8          A$0.30
Barley           A$12         A$0.50
Wheat            A$6          A$0.10

The reward you get for each sack seems to decrease the more you sell the sacks, although it is not sure what the exact pricing mechanism is at this time  research If this has been marked on a page, it's because there was something that probably isn't known, that the person who edited the page thinks could be found out. Perhaps you could figure this thing out, and be famous evermore. .

Each rat tail is worth 1 ten-pence.

Sometimes the rats carry party hats which can be sold at a general store for more money

Player Age Restrictions

When you are above 50 days of age or above guild level 200, although it is not clear where the cutoff is  research If this has been marked on a page, it's because there was something that probably isn't known, that the person who edited the page thinks could be found out. Perhaps you could figure this thing out, and be famous evermore. , the security guard will say the following:

The security guard exclaims to you: Wait a minute, you look far too old to be
     hunting rats!  Don't go nicking any of that grain while you're in there or
     I'll call the Watch!
The security guard exclaims to you: And don't go thinking I'll come rushing in
     to help you if you get lost neither!
