A halfling in the docks you begs for items and money. Giving it to him causes it to become like an enchanter pet following you around and not being able to kill it.

Yeah, this guy is fun. I added a pic where he is equipped with a spectral sword and armor. Ran around the zone and nothing seemed to touch him.

After all the years of playing EQ i have never noticed this before and no one has ever posted it, HE HAS FINALLY GOT A PURPOSE, its not great but i just noticed this when i gave the little guy some ale and yes he followed me around for abit, but before though i noticed i had around 50 copper on me then when he started following me it was gone so after trying to kill him which failed i thought i would test something else........... like selling loot to a merchant and hey prestow his purpose hit me, He changes money for you so if you have 10 copper he takes it and turns it into 1 silver if you have 10 silver it becomes 1 gold etc... :D. The lil guy not so annoying after all.

I gave this guy 5 copper, he said he didn't needed it and handed it back, but all of my other money was gone, 90+ plat, etc, and killing him didn't get it back. So... feel free to kill him nine or ten times for me.

Turns out this was a game glitch on not actually the begger. None the less... feel free to kill him nine or ten times. :D

The little beggar is really, really annoying.. I gave him a few copper and, of course, he began following me. I was off to Freeport with some friends, so one of them decided to cast a spell on him. He yelled for the guards and attacked me. He was green. So I took him out easily with a root and a random nuke spell. Bad-ish faction.. You don't become KOS so that's kewl.

I got bored while looking for Walnan to complete a step in my epic quest and I got the following faction hits when I killed off the greedy begger. If he didn't have any faction beforehand, he does now.

Your faction standing with Guardians of the Vale got worse.
Your faction standing with Mayor Gubbin got worse.
Your faction standing with Storm Reapers got worse.
Your faction standing with Merchants of Rivervale got worse.
Your faction standing with Dreadguard Outer got better.

Wondered about this bozo, so I gave him a copper (cause I'm Cheap:) ) anyway he started following me all over, could ditch the little begger (hmm, must be where that expression comes from) As far as being a good pet, I was standing near ocean and docks and as usual 2 aqua goblins popped out of the water, This guy hit one for maybe 10 points then went screaming "gaurds, guards help!"
I thought it was pretty funny, but it got rid of him:) I would rather use a basilisk as a pet anyway. at least in BB.
fun with this guy

While waiting for spawn to mage epic here had som fun and had druid friend pet him. well was then able to give him summoned plate amor and sheild and sword. lol hopefull so that a newbie could use him as a pet later on. well then had druid zone and the begger ran off to where we never found out but cool idea for a low level character to use him for assiting in leveling to 15 or so.

I had seen this guy many times before, just sitting there begging people, then i wondered what he would do if i actually gave him something. So he did his little "I'm just a poor dumb halfling" speach and so i gave him all my copper pieces. So then he followed me around and took some damage and made some hits. He wasn't a great help, and not that i needed him cuz i was twinked anyway, and he was rather slow, couldn't keep up much. But every once and awhile i'd just let him have a little fun and kill a decaying skellie or a goblin by hiself, just for entertainment. But it is kinda cool that a warrior like myself could have a pet.

i gave this guy a copper, and he kept following me around. i was really annoyed with him, and kept trying to kill him, even yelling at him to see if he had a convo trigger like "go away" to make him leave. but then i was attacked by three of those bandits, rondo and pegleg and the women, and they were tearing me up. the little guy ran in, and swung is torch around, and the bandits layed into him, and i just managed to run to a nearby guard at like 5 health, and he was butchered...he saved my life, i was bound all the way back in qeynos, and about 5 seconds before that i had been cursing his very name.... i feel so guilty now! twink this guy if you see him, he diserves it!

one day i was going to see if anyone could sow me because i was heading to the dwarf place then the little beggar came he started asking me for money (i had none) so i thought if i gave him a weapon he would leave me alone or reward me with something be he didnt!! i gave him a fine steel long sword and a shield and he still didnt so i tryed to ignore him and a oger jumped me he was red to me be it just started attacking it i was supryized so i let him kill it and I GOT EXP it filled me up 4 1/2 buds and i coned the beggar and he was red to me and i figured out that hes a pet once you give him something!!

Interesting using him as a pet he'd be good bait for the crazed gobos. I don't know if I could stand the chatter though.

I wonder if I could drag him into the water and drown him, maybe sick a shark on him. I was SOWed and ran from him and left him wandering on the dock but I wish I could nuke the anoying little bugger.

Will he follow across zone?

I got a 40 or so greedy begger
# May 06 2002 at 1:30 PM Rating: Default
I was fighting with my lvl 2 dwarf rogue and I saw greedy begger hailed him and he folowed me around and hit for 55 max but I soloed dwarf skellies at spires they could only hit me once with begger as pet. he conned light blue to a 60. I think a 50 plus beastlord buffed him then logged becaause he retturns to spawn point after owner of him logs. if a high beast lord is in zone ask him to buff greedy begger. went from 2 to 20 after skellies I moved to enraged gobies

So you want to use the beggar for your pet eh? Magicians commonly use reclaim energy when the get a chump pet (low con). Try getting this boy killed and see if you get a higher con when he respawns.

i gave this guy some coin one night and he followed me aroud for about 3 hours helping me level, i went from 3 to level 9 in what should have been a longer time, but he took most of the hits and i did most of the damage it was great for a cleric to have a pet

I was just a running from Kelethin to catch the boat in BB to FP, when i see this thing in the distance, i highlite it anf it says a greedy begger, well it conned green to me so i went over and hailed him. he said he wanted mony. i decided not to bother (i hate beggers) so i went to the docks, he folowed, i tryed everything and he wouldnt stop following me. So i wondered, "is he a pet now?" so i tryed my basic pet commands, nothing. then i wondered, i have a chanter, maby hs liek there pets. So i hit a spider once, and backed of, sure enough he started to attack it. Yelling "Guards, Guards, Help Me!". SO (and this is the truth) the guard i was near walked over, hit the begger with his axe, killed it and then walked away. Dont know if it was a glitch or what, but it was just funny to see. lol.

im on lanys tvyl and beggar is lv 1, drops a torch (always) and you take a bad faction hit with all the basic halflings (the mayor the merchants etc.)
#Anonymous, Posted: Jan 05 2002 at 1:25 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Does this guy give any kind of faction? If not, i would kill him away from the guards for fun, you never know when some person might give the halfling something decent(most unlikely)
Different beggars
# Jan 03 2002 at 8:52 PM Rating: Default
i think that the beggar by the docks has only ten HP,i killed himk at level one no damage taken, he just runs. I have never seen the otherr beggar but if someone leveled up using the other beggar that wanders i think the wanderer must be a little higher in level.

Hailed him yesterday and he started following me around and helping me fight goblins, scarabs, and even lowland basilisks! I gave him a rusty dagger and was quite happy to see him use it against my foes.

He gave me the best laugh I ever had in a solo evening.

He's quite determined also, as whenever the creature I was attacking turned away to flee, there he was, chasing the creature mercilessly.

Very good company for those solo nights!

I now a lot of people think you cant but you can kill the beggar without a spell, but only if he isnt following you, if he is then you cant kill him.

I killed that guy @ lvl 3 as a paladin dwarf!!! And it took me only a couple hits!!! Oh yeah and I didn't even have any good weapons or buffs!! So if you see him, just kill him. You probably can at lvl 1!

That is the only way I could figure out to get rid of the little bugger. Was embarassing, really. I didn't know better and gave him a copper to see if he wasn't worth something more. Got laughs from all the characters in the know. See if I help any more beggars!

When I was like lvl 5 or 6, he was in the green, and so I tried to kill him, but he ran for the guards, so I freaked out and used Gate, but I cast a lvl 4 Wiz spell (probably shock of fire) and his HP went down at least 25% theres no way his min lvl is 7

Just a note for people with pets. If you get the begger to follow you, you will no longer be able to control your own pet with normal pet commands.

With my mage at level 4, someone had asked me to kill this begger for them, so I did, I gave him one level 4 nuke and it was dead. No way he is higher then 1. Even level 1 monsters don't die from one level 4 nuke that does a max of 11 damage. Did get a Axe of the Frost though. Probably someone gave it to him.

I gave this fellow halfling a copper just to see what he'd do. So he starts to follow me (now conning amiable) and I give him 10 more copper. Anyway, after a while I intentionally loose him by running as fast as I can up a hill. I travel for five minutes, then go back to Kaladim to bank. There he is in front of the city waiting for me, and he now cons threatening and tries to attack.
