This post relates to the "a decaying gnome skeleton" that spawns in Ak`Anon. For an idea of their HPs, I randomly killed 10 of these from all over the zone (excluding the Mines of Malfunction which I will explain in a bit). One on one, strictly melee damage, went as follows:

1 - 20
2 - 20
3 - 17
4 - 18
5 - 16
6 - 16
7 - 18
8 - 19
9 - 20
10 - 17

So they have on average 20 HPs give or take a few.
I did not include ones that roamed around the Mines of Malfunction because as they roam by the high level NPC Necromancers they will buff them with, among others, a damage absorbtion shield that tops 200 HPs.

Edit: The ones that spawn in Steamfont Mountains have about 16-20 HPs on average also.

All u ppl are talking about being killed by blue-conning skeletons. Skeletons in Steamfont are way undercon; they are lv 9-10. Look up a decaying skeleton. It's description says that skeles in Steamfont are lv 9-10. You lv 1s try not to kill blue skeles in Steamfont. Smiley: wink
Why are this on Druid faction?

Why would a Gnome Skelly be on Halfling Druid Faction? This makes no sense to me. I almost exclusivly play either gnomes or halflings (I like the wee people) and I have never before noticed that these particular skellies are on halfling druid faction, but then, I might have missed it. So if this is right, why would it be so? Druids arn't necros. They don't like skellies. Infact, the only undead I know of that ANY druid likes is the scarecrow in Rivervale...and that's cuz it guards the jum jum farm.

I made a gnome Palli today, just for something different. AS I was walking around, I found one of these, conned blue. I thought Woohoo..an easy skelly. I hit him with my newbie sword and WHAM, I was DRT.. yeap, Dead Right There. No ifs, ands, or buts... kinda harsh and unfair to lure a poor, innocent, fresh starry eyed world conquerer wannabe into that trap. SO, beware... level 1, I Don't think so.

#Anonymous, Posted: Mar 20 2002 at 11:56 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) These skelly are specially protected. They do have a magic only shield which if hit by melee deals about 200-200000 damage. They don't really have much, and they mob. All in all you have better killing one of the guild masters at level 1 then surviving a fight with one of these. one more thing. they can be damaged and killed by melee attacks but you have to kill them in one hit to avoid getting hit by the shield back-lash.

lol, what are you smokin man? it says level 1!!! either it was a different kind of skelly or you're just kidding, and i seriously doubt that there was a skelly in a newbie zone that casts a 120DD and hits for 89 hp each swing =p
RE: These guys are tough!
# Dec 05 2001 at 6:48 PM Rating: Default
actually the ones in Ak'Anon do hit for 89 a swing and have a 120dd proc from the buffs they get from the NPC's in the zone. I unfortunately tried to kill one with my necro when he was 7 and he got obliterated.

My first BLUE con was a dec. skelly at lvl 1! Can you belive it? Wierd huh?
OUCH
# Jul 06 2000 at 10:47 AM Rating: Decent
i used to hunt here and one day i attacked one and it had a magic only damage shield on and i had just made my necro and had no spells memmed. then another came and attacked me by the way they both had rusty scythes i started to run when i ran into the mage giuld and i thought yay they will help me but instead they screamed your giuld must die over and over before smoldering my brains that was the spell. so i died and went to my loading piont and zoned back into akanon and for some reason my corpse was right at the entrance in front of me.
If only I had known....

Yep, one of my first Gnomes was one of these newbies.
Couldn't figure out why I was doing absolutely no damage to the thing and it conned even.
I recommend the skeles in the BACK of the mines. :)
HAHA

HAHA! That would be a funny sight. a level 10 warrior whaking at a skeletonwith a ton of buffs. I would get a good laugh outta that. You should get a pic of that, with the text so we know that the warrior is getting beat up
ahha

I heard they had level 40+ buffs on the ones in the mines.
Ak'Anon Skeletons

There are decaying gnome skeletons romping the mines under the city by the necro/clerics guild. Beware, as these skeletons pass through the various guilds, guildmasters will spell them up. Kinda funny to watch a newbie whack at a skeleton that just got a shot of resolution from the friendly cleric's guild. ;P
Faction Changes

To my knowledge (playing a gnome necro), these skeletons offer no faction changes whatsoever. I've slaughtered these guys for quite a while to collect bone chips without any faction hits.

Yes, at one time, they did give faction. This was about 11 months ago, and when I started playing, too bad they still dont give any.
No Faction
# Feb 18 2000 at 10:29 AM Rating: Decent
I have played many Gnomes and many others who hunted decaying skels in Steamfont (Valus is right - I stopped hunting in the mines). There have never been any faction changes for killing them. I WISH you got Stormguard for whacking them, and so do the Butcherblock Bandits ;).
