We would like to thank Jamie, dak, Ricardo Oliveira and romia for additional information’s. Original Game Codex TextWomp rat fever is the common name for a bacterial infection carried by the womp rats of Tatooine. Typically spread through the bite of an infected rat, womp rat fever is rare but extremely dangerous–early symptoms include decreased natural health regeneration (due to hemorrhaging from wounds) combined with coughing fits, muscle aches and chills. If untreated, womp rat fever is invariably fatal.Stim vendors on Tatooine carry injectors containing an antibacterial formula that can cure womp rat fever with one-hundred percent effectiveness. Anyone bitten by a womp rat and exhibiting signs of the fever should procure the cure as soon as possible. The formula also acts as a short-term vaccination, providing immunity to womp rat fever for a brief period. |

Womp Rat Fever |
All over tatooine, obtained from fighting a group of womp rats, one of which poisoned me with it’s illness, giving me the entry.
For anyone who accidentally missed this when you were the appropriate level, and you find yourself struggling to get the womp rats to evne hit you, much less infect you, there’s a level 50 neutral womp rat roaming in the PvP area that you should have an easier time with.
And what about the exact coordinates of it ?
-85, -1157
if you take off all your gear, stand their naked, its a bit easier time for the womp rat to hit you and infect you
also if you dont have any weapons, you’ll not kill it in 1 hit
I’m level 39 and I just fought and got killed by the womp rat 4 times but got no infection or codex entry.
what am I missing?
It is not about killing a womp rat – it is about being hit/damaged by one. In all likeliness you are not being hit because you are too high level. In that case you need to go to the PvP area where there is a level 50 roaming womp rat there.
no you misunderstand. I went to the lvl 50 womp rat and WAS KILLED by said womp rat 4 times but no codex entry.
But nevermind. I decided to try the Alley Womp rats as shown in the screenshots. Despite the fact that I outleveled the womp rat by a large amount. I got infected on the first attempt.
So is my luck just really weird, or is it only Alley Womp Rats that give you the fever?
I was 10 levels above Alley Womp Rats (they were 25, I was 35), and after getting aggro and then letting it bite at me for about 3 minutes I finally contracted the fever, so it is doable w/o dying to the level 50.
Is this even obtainable on Republic? I have tried many different rats around the planet and none seem to infect me.
I haven’t found the vaccine for sell anywhere on Republic either.
You can get the vaccine at the stims vendor or the medical droids from what I can tell. I got mine at the speeder landing in Anchorhead.
As for if it is attainable or not for Republic, I am working on that atm.
For Republic players’, the Ravenous Womp Rat (X 2015, Y -604, Z 438 is where I got mine done) worked for me at level 30.
Good luck and hope you get this one done!
I can confirm that the “Well Fed Womprat Level 50” just inside the North Entrance to Outlaws Den will give you the fever if you hit him enough. I’m a healer and he probably dealt 100K damage to me before I got it.
Can also confirmt hat Kipth the Jawa Vendor in Mos Espa (far north) will sell the Injector to cure it for Republic players.
For Republic this can be obtained very easily.
Go to the back of the most eastern wall of Anchorhead. Move in between the building there. There are three or four groups of womprats there. Just let them attack you for a while. After a little bit you’ll get infected. (I was lvl 35 so they didn’t really injure me)
As soon as you’re infected you’ll get the codex entry.
I’ll send in my screenshots if someone mails me 🙂
Coordinates: X: 2383, Y: -3647
Go grab an antidote at any medical droid. (closest one is at the speeder X: 1885, Y: -3299 )
No need to rush this only affects the speed of which you get your health back out of combat.
Enjoy 😉
I got by being mauled at 1813, -1060…I had to get 6 Scavenging wimp rats to attack me.
As a Level 48 at the time of this posting, I just stood still and let a pack of L25 Womp Rats continue to hit me until I got the fever. It was easy, and I didn’t have to have a L50 mob in a PvP zone do it either. I hope that helps future codex seekers.
This codex isnt’t mission nor kill enemy. You need to get the rat fever desiese. Let them hit you till you get it. That’s way seems random, sometimes you got it some times you dont.
As imp went looking all over Mos lla for the Crerka VX-736 Injector to cure the disease & couldn’t find it. Turn’s out the human stim’s vendor behind the taxi sells one (name is Phrague)
Level 55’s can be infected by swarms near the spaceports. Just did it tonight by letting a group attack me for 5 minutes near the Anchorhead taxi.
Womp Rat Fever is near X:645 Y:448
On Imp side, I got infected immediately at coordinates 891, 2793, just west of the Mos Ila speeder. I was next to a moisture evaporator with a group of Womp Rat Alpha’s.
Why can’t I see comments anymore?
