These mobs are beyond cake, these days. I cleared the entire zone = in about an hour and a half with a t5 merc. I just parked war-bot at IZ. I took my time, since I was new at this. I'm sure I could do this in under an hour easy, if i did it again.
Corrupted netherstone amulet also drops here. Two of them fell off trash.

When I hailed the little shroom, he walked up to the top. I had 2 sets of two adds. They both agro him, but just sending pet on both of them made them pretty much instantly agro me. I stood on top of them as well and just tanked for pet. All mobs here were light blue and didn't hit every hard. I went back and checked and it's like 20 205's and then once for 1020. I think a T1 merc could do this, A T5 merc is overkill. I dont think my merc ever went under 95 mana.
When the little guy went up top, I did not get an update. He waited a few minutes, then pathed back to home.... and in the process of doing so, spawned two more sets of two adds on his way back.
He went back to spawn, and I did the rehail (save) and he didn't move.
So I smacked him and ran him back to IZ. And I still did not get update. He hits/quads for max 1k as well, and he hit a few times harder than the other zone trash, it seemed to me. More 600's, less 205's.
He started pathing back again. So I snared him and ran him back to IZ to feign and try for update again and (OOPS!) zoned out. Which updated the task. Don't ask me how, it just did.
Warrior got the medal as did two guild mates who I had TA'd who were in other zones, so.. you don't have to be in zone to get the aug. Which is nice. One person can do this and get 5 melee's augs, if they wanted to. I just destroyed mine.
he doesn't path to any side rooms, but the chest with the key is in a side room. I'd say it took about 5 minutes for him to path up. Took me about 2 minuets per "wave " of adds to kill them, so that seems about right.
Peace.
