can anyone CONFIRM these are the LEGS i need for the BUGPART collection QUEST in Misty thicket? GIANT FIREBEATLE LEGS is one of the 6 components. Please let me know... and what do they sell for now? about 6 gold? and I assume the legs are Dropable if sold to merchants. At the bridge might som ebe for sale. I am looking for the easy way to get these. My al is only lvl 7.
A while back these beetles gave only regular fire beetle eyes and legs, now they loot a giant kind which sell for 10 times as much, around 2gp for eyes, and a little less for legs. Now they give decent loot and I won't come out of the karanas broke.
I like to think of these things as the right whales of Western Karana, at least for levels 6-9. They move slowly (a great boon for casters and archers -- rangers, try Snare and some bowshots to soften 'em up before melee; you could actually kill one using archery alone if you were willing to waste the arrows); they don't hit for a lot of damage, relatively speaking; they're not poisonous; and they drop light, small loot worth 1-3 gold. They don't even gang up on you very often, mostly because it's rare to see two together. A boon for those who want to level safely and make some money in the meanwhile. The only downside is that they can be tricky to find; tracking definitely helps.
