A dedicated RuneScape player has managed to collect the same pet for over two years even though it’s considered extremely rare in the game.
Pets are one of the most interesting features that Old School RuneScape offers up. It’s always adorable to see these little critters interact and follow your character around.
The game has plenty of unique pets that players can obtain, but some of them are rarer and thus harder to get than others.
One such example is the Beaver, which was first released in 2015. While it’s considered rare, and it’s possible that many players haven’t even seen it in-game, a dedicated player has managed to obtain an impressive amount of it.
RuneScape player spends over 2 years collecting rare Beaver pet
The Beaver pet in RuneScape can be obtained through Woodcutting, but the chance of receiving it is extremely slim; even the best odds are just 1 in 72,321 logs chopped, or about 0.00138%. While that’s the case, that hasn’t stopped a player called West Stairs from obtaining nearly 200 of this particular critter.
One of their earlier posts in April 2023 showcased the beginning of their pet collecting journey. By August 3, 2025, they’d already managed to get the 193rd Beaver. And by the looks of it, they’re not stopping anytime soon.
As spotted by GamesRadar, West Stairs is one of the top Woodcutting skillers in Old School RuneScape. While they’ve already hit the 200 million maximum in-game XP cap for Woodcutting some time ago, with a ranking of 477, the dedicated player has continued to cut wood and collect beavers.
When asked how they were able to do this, they explained: “It’s 15x rate once you hit 200m xp for skilling pets; until then, the rate is like 27m for one.”
They jokingly added: “But I like to think it’s because I’m a Yankees fan.”
Given this player’s achievement and collection, naturally, they drew all sorts of reactions in the comments. Some were straight up impressed and praised their dedication, though others were baffled, asking why they would do something like this.
Their answer when it comes to their goal is simple. “More beavers,” they said.
