  • This mob spawns at +1480, +2406 before the Port Faydwer entrance.
  • Findable (via Ctrl-F): No

This halfling near the docks begs you for items and money. Giving something to him, or even just hailing him, causes him to become like an enchanter pet following you around and not being able to kill it.

You say, 'Hail, a greedy beggar'

A greedy beggar says, 'Hello there, _____. I don't suppose you can spare some coins? I'm just a poor halfling that is far away from home. I can't afford anything to eat or drink. Anything you can offer me will be of help.'

As with all charm spells, any invisibility spell cast on you will break the charm and make him attack you.

Faction lowers with all the halfling factions of Rivervale. I killed him with one hit of Furor as a Halfling, don't worry one or two kills doesn't change anything. Now 10...

I just hailed him and he followed me didn't attack me or anything. I didn't attack anything so I don't know if he will be like a pet if you don't pay him, I guess so according to the other posts, I wonder if there are other mercenaries?
yea rite !

Interesting. My 46 druid "donated" to the Greedy Beggar, prolly cuz he looks just the little guy :( sigh. He followed me around the zone for awhile. But when I invised myself prior to opening a door to a KOS-to-me Kaladim Citizen, the greedy beggar suprised me by shouting for guards (just like the KCs do) and then attempting a wimpy attack on me. (1 point of damage on the 4th shot.) He dropped to an enveloping root (98 pts of damage.) He may frequently be found lying sideways right outside the docks, with his torch still burning. Intriguing little guy, but I've never been able to make him act like a pet. But come to think of it, I've never tried to use a pet command on him. Hmm...

tonight i was in BB and thought this to be a GM event or something. so i gave him like 5pp and a bronze spear. i started to randomly kill things to give him to see what would happen...It is indeed a pet once you give him something, and he will follow you like a pet.(well on Rodcet Nife at least) for i am a 35 ranger and i out ran it with so. I sowed it and buffed it and we started taking out bandits... so all you low level players out there... get you copper ready to buy a pet.. and go fight that goblin or camp that chessboard with him.. manaless level 10 pet for 1 copper... but you might want to give him a weapon.
( i gave him leather outfit and no different look so dont waste your loot)

Killing him gives you bad faction with the Rivervale halflings
#REDACTED, Posted: Jun 12 2001 at 9:00 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) You ARE ale to kill it and he dosent follow you like an enc pet.. he follows you until your too far away, then he returns to his spawn.. Also, he can be killed. Give him something, hail him, then invis yourself, he will aggro on you and then you can kill him. I was angery illa didint put mine in here instead of this one, but its allright... im the one who posted the pic =)

Actually after you give it money it does follow you around like a chanter pet. The only difference is that if you turn invis it will aggro you. So in other words it is like a indefintely long charmed pet with no control functions. A cross between a charmed pet and a chanter pet. Also once you outrun him he does not return to his spot. I was sowed and outran him to other side of bb, around 3 minutes later he was back prancing around in front of me.
