just sit in the little hidden room and kill the prince or princess to get the queen to come. she will eventually come. Spawns are about three or four minutes a piece or so.. not bad at all. With my monk and at level ten killing the queen was no problem but i got good weaps n stuff. Also note that the beetles with out eyes con blue at ten and the one with the eye will con white. I think this is much easier to do than run around randomly in EC or WK looking for em and hoping that one drops
I solo this beetle with my 13 mage, easy as crap, I just sic pet on her and put shild of fire on elemental(preferably earth) and cast a few DDs and AEs and boom shes dead not much loot but her legs and eyes sell for a few gold pieces or so.

To the two previous posts on enchanted silver. How long ago did ya get your eyes and why does mine not enchant silver? Mine says nothing yet above i see a picture of one that has enchant silver. I WANT THIS CRACK< HOW DO I GET AN EYE! Sullon Zek, Vaxius, 11th season Bard.
Ok, so does the eye still enchant silver or not??? Or is the eye now part of a quest where u can be awarded the enchanting eye? Whats the deal? I am so interested in this eye. Does it even exsist anymore? fill me in on the details people =)
Giant Scarab Egg Sacs are easy to get in Butcher Block the giant scarabs wander around the entrance to GF. In fact you can buy them at most dwarven merchants in this zone. They are always for sale in the dwarf city.
Just go to WC for the legs, if your looking for the legs for the BUG COLLECTION quest in Misty Thicket. I think Damatree Pinefolk said it the most simple.....
this is what *I* did.... sigh
I Then was curious as to getting these "Giant beetle legs". I decided to hunt the QUEEN KLICKNAK (or whatever). I decided to take my ranger, because shes awesome for finding what I want, when I want. I kept seeing and Killing the prince and princess klickklacker bugs, I keep seeing all this crap about the Queen being a slow spawn, so i was looking into it. It seems the QUEEN (who I saw once in the secret area near gates - to enter aquaducts) is on the SAME track with the princess and possibly the Prince klicknik. That makes them potential place holders. This means they are either killed, OR something happens TO them (with them) and then the Queen is spawned. I also noticed, if I hit the princess and kept her alive long enough the prince Klikcer bug would start spawning.
(similar to Conflunk and Zarchoomie in BB - just look at the quest - in essence you kill a goblin shaman, cornflunk spawns on a SUICIDE run, hit him and keep him alive for 10 minutes, THEN the other hlaf of the quest (zarchoomie) spawns))
So I hit her and stood there for like 10 minutes. I am kind of wondering now if the prince and princess MAKE a queen (by doing the bipity bopity)... (but USUALLY get killed while on track) The queen spawns IN the secret area to zone into the Aquaducts, (where the prince and princess seem to go to (cough))
(I have seen her there for CERTAIN with Valdon)
Also North of the secret room, near zone edge (i have seen the prince and princess spawn here. The prince seems to prefer this location, then going to go meet the princess in the secret room. SOMETIMES she will spawn here. They both seem to have this suicide run if they spawn here. Its a South west run at a 45 degree angle, to the road, due south on the road, then dangerously close to the guards. Then they cut in to shack up in the secret room. I think they both have to survive to make QUEEN. Odds are next to nothing.
Another interesting fact. I am not sure if I should post, because its SOMEWHAT and exploit / spoiler. is...
It seems almost NOTHING will go through this secret wall either unless its on that track. Nova starshine or whoever, gnolls, named darkpaws. None of them. I would back in, and instantly the critter would turn tail and walk away as if I zoned. The prince, and princess will walk in. My guess is because its their track they ignore the wall, while other critters not on a track see it as a barrier. I got ONE rat to, but it took me stepping VERY carefully in baby steps. !!! The interesting thing, as they walked away, my arrows still landed !!! Esentually making a free killing zone. If stuff gets ugly you can also just zone into aquaducts....<ahem>
My lv4 monk was beating the prince when i get hit from the queen from behind. Now, i've got some questions a)I beat her and i was only lv4. How is this possible if she is lv 10? b) before this i've seen the guards take her on and bash the hell outa her before, so i know she doesn't get into the city, and, c)what is that about the place holder? was i hallucinating or is it really not possible for the prince/princess/ and queen to be around at the same time? Got mad exp off 'er though. Made half a level in one kill, pretty good...
This damn queen is NOT attacked by the guards! I am on Vallon Zek, and a lev 5 ranger. I was hittin a drone or something like that when the queen came over to rough me up. I ran past the guards, into the town, and the slow queen shambles by the unmoving guards as I watch, horrified. I ran into some shop, up some stairs, and turned around. The queen opened the door, and cracked my head open. A gm said that the queen is allowed to roam free without them attacking, or some crap like that. If I was a guard, I would kill the nasty queen on principle alone. -Artan
isnt there a quest for the giant fire beetle eye?i thought you could do a quest and get the eye to have the effect to enchant silver.any nfo would be nice on where this quest starts.

From the gate at NQ, turn left along city wall, look for a spot where Ivy is growin on wall, thats the hidden wall, also an entrance 2 the Qeynos Aquaducts for dark races.
This is incorrect. The Queen does not have a specific spawning location. I was looking for one tonite and happened to see it spawn right in front of me, about 2 thirds of the way from the gate to Qeynos Hills, right beside the path.
The Prince, Princess, and Queen are all placeholders for each other... If one exists the others don't (the definition of a placeholder!).
Spawn time is 2-4 sec after one is killed. Spawn is random as is location, can be anywhere a snake/rat/bat/etc will spawn. Once they spawn they make their way to the path then run down path to the city. If left alone they will turn away BEFORE the guards and move to the left of the gate (left when facing the gate) and head to the secret entrance to the aquaducts and sit there.
Queen no longer drops the enchanted giant fire beetle eye, and now only very rarely do hatchlings appear.
Hope this clears things up.

I can verify this post. I went to N Qeynos, found a Prince waiting in the secret entrance. Then killed princes and princesses one after another. They showed up easily on track just seconds after the previous one died. Took me from 5 to 25 kills or so before getting each Queen. I got 6 legs in under an hour (1 or 2 on each Queen), but just one eye (although I was only after the legs anyway).
I was fighting the queen once and splatered all over the newbie zone. But while I was fighting the first queen I saw a second queen wonder by. they jump in if you attack the firebeetles. The slaughter of the princes and princesses will force the queen to spawn. she is for the most part like dippy and suicdes by going to the gaurds.

Posted:Jul 28 2000 at 8:50 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Call me evil, but it's fun watching the Queen charge down the path leaving behind 5 or 6 newbie corpses.... hehe
I killed a Prince Klicnik today and the Queen just appeared right where he had been standing, so I'm guessing the Princes/Princesses are the placeholders.
your wrong because i have killed every class of fire beetle in the zone in about a minute before and she hasn't spawned i'm still trying to figure out her spawn times
Newbies Beware: the Queen splashes her attackers with some firey liquid. Combined with her normal attacks you'll see your HP reduce dramatically.
Also, as soon as she dies three Fire Hatchlings spawn from her corpse. These were very green to my 14th Lvl Bard and of no trouble, but if you've sustained considerable damage fighting her these could just be the icing...
