Hey, no problem, happy to help etc so forth so on....
The other nice things about the beetles (aside from the fact that they
walk...even when chasing) is that they are roughly the same level range as the
crocs in oasis (but they top out at 19 instead of 21) and they drop words and
runes with about the same frequency of the crocs (not often, but you will get
them, so they are pretty good for INT casters. I still think that they are a
great place to level your teens with a bard, because of our AE songs (or, song
depending on level) you can kite multiples...i have a few screenshots of me
with 7+ beetles following...it was alot of fun.

She has retired her monk cuz she was pissed at the FD nerf(maybe only
temporary) so we both started new chars.
