Chigoe (Mob in new areas)... WTF with these things...

[Immortaldonut]

i have been soloing sheep for a little while and have noticed one common thing. as someone said before, the karakul and marid spawn the chigoes whenever they do a tp move. the ones that the karakul have spawned have only taken a ws (doesn't matter which ws) to kill them. i tried this a couple times. i let two chigoes spawn on me (i slept one until the sheep tp'd again) and then did circle blade. both chigoes died instantly. whenever i try to melee them to death, it takes roughly 500-800 damage.

Edit: some are giving me exp, and some are not. when they do, though, it's 35 exp.

Freind and I went out hunting the karakul for skins since everyone is jacking up the price of them on AH --; anyway, we found the mother load of these sheep sleeping so we pulled one. Found out, whoever pulls the sheep, will have hate when the little bugs are spawned. Are sleepable, but, sheep can sleep you too ._. Also found out, before we killed one bug, we ran thru a nest of these things and no aggro. After killing them, got aggro by one. Also, while fighting one sheep, a nin ran by right as sheep spawned one and instead of aggroing me or my friend who were fighting the sheep, it aggro'd the nin. So, might be a hate thing with these. The more you kill, the more hate you get. So think it goes like this:

Puller will have hate when spawned
Killing them makes hate and makes you more prone to aggro
More hate you have, the easier it is to aggro them

Could be all wrong, and last night was just a weird night, but going off from what happened, that is what I can guess how these things work.

Oh and the ones we killed gave EP exp. All of them did. Also, they are some hard and fast hitting little suckers ._. Killed my smn friend before he could wake me up

It's a similar hate style to fomor, only unlike fomor these don't start out non-aggro. Basically, once you get enough hate, they start to aggro smell (yes, you read that right, smell, tested and proven). No word yet on how to lower "chigoe hate".
