For any lower levels travelling through these caverns to Shar Val, the mushroom sentries can see invis and immediately attack you with a cloud of spores, which forces you to drop invis. They also, i believe, cast swarming crud.
i can't really say what level teh mushrrom sentries are; i had one that conned yellow to me at level 12, and the rest conned red. My guess is they're somewhere in the range of 14-20 or so.
from my experiances and trials in the caverns, my guesses for it's range would be from 10(young patog phlarg fiend) to low 30s. The Patog Phlargs are very social, and will happily tear you a new one if you don't watch out.
The beetles in the caverns don't seem to aggro; interestingly they spend their time munching on the fungus.
As for the bandits i can't comment on their habits or capabilities too much as i haven't engaged any in combat. The Charlatans are spell casters with druid spells,and most of the others are fairly self explanitory.
Good luck, ye adventurers; the caverns are a dangerous place.

The cloud of spoors are traps. The triggers are usually somewhere near the loc of the shrooms. I was hunting there and could get the spoor cloud to activate any time... even when the shrooms were dead and gone.

The spores are from the mushrooms on the walls. it's a trap

I gotta alter one thing there: the mushrooms only cast spores at you(dd spell i think).
the Patog Phlarg Fiends proc Swarming crud when they hit you, and it is an EVIL spell.. .4 hp a tic, sticks for longer than i have the courage to find out, and i've heard varying reports on the difficulty of curing it, but those who have been successful say it required several castings of fairly powerful anti-diease spells.

took 3 casts of my Cure Disease (at lvl 22) to cure this for two different people. Nasty stuff.

The Reishicyben
# Dec 07 2001 at 3:44 PM Rating: Excellent
The Reishicyben is about level 20 (give or take a couple levels) and drops numerous items... The two drops i have seen so far is a 12ac, 3wis/3int sheild, and a new Hand to Hand item with stats 8dmg, 26dly, 2str, 2sta, 20hps, 10svcold, and some other stats...
the Hand to hand (don't remember name, but looks like the monk epic) item is bugged, I gave it to my new beastlord char (since it's BST and MNK only) and he died... and when i went back to my corpse to loot my items, I looted everything, but the Hand2Hand was not on the corpse, but i could SEE it's graphics still on my corpse's hand... So i would suggest that if you get this item, do not die with it until Verant patches this bug.
Yelloweyes Loot

I wandered the halls of Paludal. I looted a magic neck peice off Yelloweyes called Yelloweyes Collar that had 2AGI 1WIS 2AC. Wearable by most.

I don't know what I was smoking, but the true stats are 5AC, 3STR and 2 WIS. Small item, Medium to large races only.

i picked up the same thing, but it was only an AC 3 with no stats until i got a NO DROP item from Yellow Eyes called Wailing Substance. Don't know if it was a coincidence with a patch or if u have to have wailing substance.

i had fun here last night at 57 even though theres not really anything that i would use that dropped in here.. but the loot was pretty well distibuted for the level of the place..

not counting the bandits (think dervishs) there was like 9 different mobs i saw..

Lots of patog phlarg fiends.. these drop the luclin version of cloth (called phlarg membrane armor or something) and lots of other kinds of loot, like scales, flesh (food), stone weapons, a 3/21 piercer w/ +1 disease damage that goes in range, a leather belt w/o any stats that looks like a quest item

theres beetles w/claws that i really enjoyed visually.. 3 diff kinds, Grime tunnelers, Sediment delvers, and muck diggers. They dropped a few different things, like grime legs and sediment legs, and a carapace and eye balls that have 1 charge of see invis. also another leg type item.

there were fish in the water called large weteyes i think.. they drop no drop wet eyes

Mushroom guys, there were mature sensate reishi, sensate reishi, and sensate reishi elders. dropped some sort of lens, and stackable food.

i also killed yelloweyes, the named owlbear.. he dropped that no drop gem and 2 owlbear meats and a pelt. he was in the bandit camp.

lots of different kinds of bandits.. from gnomes to cat people (catburgler hee hee) they dropped ringmail that was called bronze something.. in small, med and large, and sullied weapons (read: rusty) also dropped a diff version of derv rings, ac 1 +2 agi.

been fighting in like 8 zones so far and no faction hits including these bandits.
