Ran into one of these guys on my way to trying to finally kill a few mobs that are rumored to drop the ever elusive "fine steel" weapons. Let me tell you, this guy had me running circles around a Freeport guard, got me down to about 5% before i zoned, scary that these things are on the loose in North Ro. I think next time before I try to take on one, I'll bring a full group with me. I hear they drop rusty weapons, I could use a few for corpse runs...Even though my sharpened rusty longsword might get jealous! Level 66 paladin

For people looking to go from 12-15 or so these derv camps in NRO are the place to be. The camps are not hard with a decent group and the exp just roles on in.
i found it a decent place to group and talk to others while you hunt, but we couldn't handle the camp with a small group and when we had a large group, we didn't get hardly any xp....might work out better for others...
i peronally like Derv3 (along the western wall) because it's the most enjoyably, can be handled easily by a group of 3 or 4(i prefer small groups) and i think gives the best xp, just my 2cp
these thing all con red to me but never resist my spells. I think there a lvl 12 to 15 or something. I kill them with one other person and im a lvl 9 and group cons yel to me? so they are really easy.
These things con scowls to everyone, whereas the dervishes can be indifferent to everyone. Even at level 46 these things STILL aggro me. The dervishes do join in to help if you're a low enough level even if you're not KoS to them, one time my necro went up to Dorn who conned amiable, the dervish thug attacked, and Dorn killed me, be warned.
WOW!!, it's amazing somethin that dumb even knows what a rune is...let alone drop it (thought runes were supposed to drop off intelligent creatures, or atleast semi-intelligent beings)
I'll often see these guys wandering around the zone to the Oasis. Thank god they never seem to come near the water. BTW, a while ago I was killed at the oasis 4 times, 3 of them while trying to get my corpse from the first death back. God damn lag made a Sand Giant appear right next to me.
Thugs arent that bad...if youre not under level 13...the real problem isi if some other cutthroat have buffed them. Then you should probably take out the caster first and THEN get the thug, thug might hit fairly hard in the mean time but once you are all on him its no problem, especially if youre in a group. I soloed these regularly at level 14 as a warrior.
Took one of these guys at level 10 with two healers. Level varies between 14 and 18. Real pain on a bad Derv pull. And they're aggro unlike other Dervs.
