estimated hps on these guys... the ones in pit near DS zoneline have roughly 25,000-27,000 hps depending on level. this is a rough estimation by comparing dmg done by a nuke with the % it removed
They have upwards of 30-35k hp, took me about 10 minutes to kill the tough sob, but a relatively safe and easy solo as long as you dont get any adds. Never fell below 50& mana (14 worn FT and KEI). Resisted root often and had partial length on others, but with snare it was cake. got 2% normal xp, dropped skin
Was kiting regular murks in the valley off DS. I was going to leave at 9, and so the group gradually went away... Then, the last group member and I killed our final murkglider for the day. A Dragon Scale Shield dropped off it, so we were going to roll for it but the other group member already had one!! I've killed about 200 or so murkgliders and haven't seen one drop befroe.
Anways, happy hunting!

Someone told me that the shield and sash to not drop when you hunt the Murkgliders solo. Do you really need a group for the nice drops here? If so, can anyone provide documentation where it says that??
I don't think you need a group for these drops, but it wouldn't surprise me if the drop rate were heavily decreased for soloing. From March thru July '05 I killed WELL over a thousand of these and had *one* Sash drop. That's it. No Shield or Cape.
After soloing the DS Murks over the course of many weeks I have gotten 5 levels and 30 AA's and the only other thing of value that dropped was a Discordant Scoriae and I lost the /ran on that.
No shield, No belt, No cape, no other augs, I just have bad timing I guess...
These mobs aren't quite level 63. In NC today, they all conned either white or yellow to me at 59. So, the levels do vary, and the low end would be 59. Some may be 63, but, if so, I didn't encounter any.
As you might imagine, "a murkglider" dropped "Seeping Murkglider Fluid."
Also, these murkgliders may use either, none or both of the effects listed - shade mantle and gloom toxin. Very rare to see them use both - but you are hereby warned! :)
