a snow dervish  

My baby level 33 wizard alt starting quading these at level 33 by the zone in site. He was about 40% into level 33 when he started with 2000 mana. Iceclad is a hot zone atm. With LOTD popped I got two levels in 30 minutes quading these and dire wolves. Not bad at all. I had buffed with a mana regen potion to help regain mana a little faster than OOC regen gives by itself. I also popped Harvest twice. At 35 they are still mostly dark blue so you get the within 5 level exp bonus. Some are have turned light blue and I just leave them out of the quad (although even light blue one still give ok exp). Note the con colors are after the con color changes that occured a couple of expansions ago.

torque of Hoar Frost

Neck item
AC: 1
HP: 10
Mana: 10
End: 10
SV Cold: 10

One of these dropped a Codex of the warrior a book that you can't open/read. Wonder what it is for... anyone know?

Killed 8 or so, 2 had a Frozen Mantle. Lore, so kept one shouted out the other.

I've fought a few of them in Eastern Waste. So far they have dropped a chill dagger, a ring of frost, a chilled mantle, an ice ball or something like that, and words.

At 40th (ranger) level they take me to about 50% of health or soand about 50% of mana. Seem that they regenerate hp if they melee you; though, I am not for certain. I like to kill them with spells and arrows while they are snared and rooted.

One of these dervies dropped this earring ...has ac1 hp+10, mana +10 and sv cold +10 as I recall. Can't find any info on it at all. I was looking to see what price check people may have on this. It equips to all races and classes as well.

These little buggers will attack anything, no matter what lvl, and are such a pain in the ***** They have no significant loot and hit quite hard for thier lvl. Thank Kanra they can't see through invis/sup camo. They'll mess up a griffin kite in a heart beat.

i looted a ring of frost of this mob today int3 mana10 or 15

it is not a quest

Well i travelled there for a while with my lil group (Druid and Ranger lvl 35 and myself Pala lvl 34).
The lvl stage range is correct, but as said before, they hit hard for their lvl.
1 is easy to kill for our group, but 2 is the maximum i would fight.
3 of them and you better run or port hehe! ;)

If you get ported and you are invis will these dervs hit you???

Ok the betiary writer is correct and wrong at the same time i am a lvl 30 paladin at moment.
I came to velious at lvl 29 these things were all red or yellow i finally found one even one im assuming that instead of starting at 27 they start at 29 and now that i am 30 i find most are yellow with a few reds and blues wondering around so 34 is about right for the maximum lvl.

Well wish me luck, I have been doing Ulthorks for the past few days but mu lvl 32 wizzard could use the upgrade in int from these dropped items. im taking mid30's lvl grp and kicking Derv **** tonight. Ill post a follow up and let you know my experience..
