The forests are crawling, absolutely teeming, with destructive little beetles, known as Krobz Bark Beetles. They take up residence in the bark of bushes and trees, chewing it up and killing the plants. If things carry on as they are,  Hawken the Forester and  Vaslav the Ranger will soon be out of forest to protect and need some level 4 warriors to come to their aid!

 

Have you been stumbling across these little forest pests in your battles with the beasts of Faeo? If so, now is the time to start handing them in and removing this vermin from the beautiful Faean forests. The woodland must be saved for your children and your children's children, not to mention preserving the ecological balance of the delicate, fragile world in which you live.

 

  

	Krobz Bark Beetle
	Miscellaneous Level 3  10 Duration 2hr A serious pest to the forest environment, this small beetle lives in bark and wood and devours weak and sickly trees. Received: small possibility when killing an Arboris and very small possibility when killing a Young Arboris.

 

 Hawken the Forester can be found in Zviglod Grove and  Vaslav the Ranger is waiting for assistance on Light's Edge.

 

And if you're lucky enough to find a Queen Krobz, it might well prove very handy if some dastardly enemy dares to lay a hex on you. Find out more on the Bringers of Evil library page.

 

	Queen Krobz Bark Beetle
	Miscellaneous Level 3  1 Duration 1d A serious pest to the forest environment, the queen bark beetle lives in bark and wood and lay their eggs in the tunnels they gnaw in the trees. They differ from normal Krobz beetles because they possess a unique quality - a Queen Krobz beetle can be used to cleanse an organism of all medium strength negative energy. Therefore, they can be effectively used to remove the curse of a Simple Hex. It may also possibly work on the curse of Swamp Hex, but there is no chance of it removing the curse of a Gehenna Hex. Received: very small possibility when killing an Arboris and an even smaller possibility when killing a Young Arboris.
