Ive gotten fungus mushrooms from these guys that sell to merchants for atleaast 6 gold a peice. They are very common to get for me in the unrest so i make a lot of money by collecting these.In the unrest they conned even to me most the time at 13, so there not to high.Good for lower levels to make money!!
The level range on this mob is way off. Every one so far has still conned blue to me at level 20, which means the range must be more like 15-18 or something.
If you are around lvl 10-13 and a dwarf seeking for scarab breastplate kill the beetles.(they will drop the pristine carapaces occasionally) Even if you don't need the pristine shells, take it, get it made(get xp i think), and then sell for 3pp.
If you are pulling, they sometimes seem to run and get some of there friends. If they don't come straight for you, expect to either run or fight a long fight.
THese guys have some MAJOR loot for their lvl. I mean that they usually drop about 4 gold and those are the ones that conned low blue!! oh that was while soloing. Fun as heck to solo with a bard. Circle kiting technique. Run around in a small circle while constantly jamming the bellows song.
Although it sucks when a high level pulls several mummies and they decie to jump train and hit you!
