What the achievement asks
Wave at six weave-rats in the City of Threads. Ten points, account-wide.
Six rats, six waves. It is one of the most awkward achievements in the expansion, and not because it is hard.
Not every rat with the right name counts
Weave-rats with these names appear in several places, and most of them give no credit. Players report finding Thimble after Thimble and waving at every one with nothing happening.
The coordinates below are the ones people have confirmed working. If a rat at a different spot does not tick, it is not you and there is nothing to fix: go to the confirmed one.
The four with confirmed locations
| Rat | Coordinates | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Scampering Weave-Rat | 47.67 15.64 | Runs about in a small pack. Also reported outside the City of Threads at 47.95 70.46 |
| Thimble | 56.04 32.89 | Confirmed to give credit |
| Webster | 39.00 65.00 | Confirmed to give credit |
| Spindle | 87.78 59.28 | Only during the quest, see below |
| Ru'murh | No confirmed fixed location | |
| Bobbin | No confirmed fixed location |
Spindle is tied to a quest, and you can lose him
Spindle appears during the quest Saving Private Spindle, at 87.78 59.28. Wave at him then.
Do not accept Personal Pilfering afterwards until you have your wave in: taking that quest sends Spindle walking outside, where he fades away. Players who missed him have had to run the sequence again on a character who had not done it.
Ru'murh and Bobbin
These two have no reliably published spot. Both are inside the City of Threads like the others, and the practical method is to use targeting rather than eyesight while you move around the city:
/tar Ru'murh/tar BobbinIf the macro finds nothing, they are not near you. It costs a keypress and it is far better than scanning the floor of a city built on several levels.
Where it fits
