These tough bastards can drop some pretty impressive mage-only loot. I've seen mage earings and a pretty nice neck piece (like +10 INT if I recall correctly) drop on occasion.
Oh, and they also drop bone chips.
The smallest group to kill one was me (53 pally at the time) and a 60 cleric, but it was not easy at all. With a 54 BST, we tore them up easily as they aren't so tough when slowed.

If you go to the right from zone in, stay to zone wall, then go to the ridge to your left, looking down youll see a buncha bone piles. these are not skellys, just graphics, but these reanimated guys live among the piles, behind the vamp buildings.
They are not very MR, slowable, slowable snareable hit fast and hard, up to 159 or so.
Make Very good pets when hasted and dual-wielding dps is outstanding - also will regen approx 4%/tick

These guys are well above 47-48 as advertised. Were Blue to yellow at 54, with most being white. Not undead or summoned but are a skelly /shrug. On the plus side they drop bone chips /cheer.
Blood red to me at 52. This thing can running right thru our camp. We all stood up and wandered WTF was that. A few minutes later our cleric and one warrior goes LD and I regrped everyone left. About this time our runnaway friend comes back and jumps our Chanter. Chanter had to book it to zone but we did pull it off of him. With no Cleric we all had to zone after a while. We then zoned back in and the LD warrior and cleric had logged back in. Here is the crazy part, that Skelly again comes back. Before I could reach our camp the warrior is killed but we all got there to pull it off the cleric and get her in our grp. We managed to kill the little SoB.

/agree. no one in their right mind would group with a lev 40 here. min lev should be 52+. tanks get laughed at for coming here at 47-50 and expecting to find a group. the mobs just hit way too hard and fast.
Ok OK - I know that I am going to get flamed for this a bit but the other day we DID take a level 39 beastlord in. Granted it was a guild thing and we had two full groups mostly over 45 but he did do ok - sorta. At least he did not die and he never got agro enough that we had to worry about him. But I do agree that if you are going for a pickup group, you need to be over 50 to have a prayer.
Im a 46 cleric with pretty good gear and me and a couple of friends group here a lot. With a 50+ chanter in the group and a good tank my mana never goes below 30. Allthough some mobs can get nasty like the Mind burrowers. But all in all as a level 46 i can group here easy. Even had a 47 tank once that was tough though.
