The game doesn't remember which dwarf miner gave you the rat.

Talk to any dwarf miner, the same dwarf ten times, or ten different dwarfs, the game doesn't care.

Once I realised this I bought 3 rats of the same dwarf.

I've only ever bought 6 rats, never tried to get more (ate the first when I got it, kept 5 spares to eat as I find leadership flags), from the other posts it seems I've got the limit

All 3 items in the Knight's Temple can be used. The dummy "princess" has 1 of 4 options (I have no idea if they have a lasting effect on the game), the necromancer's book has a weakness scroll that Father William used as a bookmark, and the boot has 100 gold tucked inside. You can choose to steal the gold and lie to Iron Richard or tell him the truth.

Each Fried Rat permanently adds 2 mana and rage, but drains 50 leadership.

You can repeatedly speak to the same miner to get multiple rats. You can manually click on the dwarf then the 'goodbye' conversation option, but it's a lot quicker to use the Escape key to dismiss the dialog.

Thank you very much for the tip man, you rock!


(Didn't know you can re-ask the same dwarf for more rats...)

The bug is more to skip the dialog end to get more rats.

EDIT: Well ok not more rats but all rats from one miner, which only save some time.

I've always gotten I think 9 rats total. I've also only gotten them from Creston mines, not Lucky James mines.

Once I had rat for purchase from the merchant in the Fish belly.
And another item that can be used is the druid staff from the Elven lands/Lands of the dead quest. If I remember correctly, it gives a mind rune.
Dunno if someone mentioned the bag of the zombie in the graveyard - it only gives some gold tho.
