Took him down today with 21 Sk, 22 Cleric, 24 Ranger, 17 Ranger, 17 Wizard, and 20 Rogue. There were 2 drones and 2 trogodytes also, so only the Sk and ranger (24) were tankign him with cleric healing. Dropped netherbian chitin
I took down the Swarm Leader twice yesterday. His maximum hit was for 54 damage, most of the rest were between 15 and 30 damage. He bashes and stuns maybe twice as often as the Drones and Warriors. He hit me for about 660 damage and took around 1350 damage from me. The con is dead on: if you think you can take him then you probably can.

[Mon Dec 22 20:43:50 2003] You cannot loot this Lore Item. You already have one.
I didn't realize the chitin was lore so I did a /shout to get someone to loot it before it rotted. The Netherbian Chitin sells for around 30 - 40 pp on the Stromm server (my price)although I've seen it being flogged for 100pp
He's got higher hps and does hit harder. I can verify that. My 34 ranger killed him after leading about 6 adds to the guards and keeping the Swarmer rooted. Dropped the BP.
In order to get this guy to spawn you have to kill 4 netherbian swarmcallers. A GM told me this before, and when I did it he spawned. He has no place holders and will spawn anywhere.

Ok I was in a Grp and i rolled and Got this. by any chance does something like this Drop on the Trog King too? Netherebian Drones conned LB to me at 23 so i dont think ill be killin the Trog King anytime soon bymyself
Trog King drops a Beastlord/Shaman only Kilt (leggings) that have fairly good stats, but it's lore like the Neth Chitin, so just expect to get a few and sell them. Trog King was easy for my 3 person group (me as 26 ranger, 24 rogue and 26 Bard) since he was blue along with another trog and I looted it. Hope that helps some!
The maximum spawn time for this guy is only 1 hour, and sometimes, he spawns even more often. He drops the chitin every time, but too bad it's a lore item :(

It seems like great armor for a pally or cleric twink. Someone on Brell tried to sell this to me the other day for 500pp LOL. I offered her 100 for it which I think is more than it's worth. I couldn't get rid of one of them on Ayonae Ro for even close to 100pp. Different server but still..

Posted:Feb 28 2002 at 5:11 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) These Things I uesd to think were the ultimate monsters! But theyre just needle clawed hoppers in wierd suits!!! But These "Netherbians" Are Actually LVL 220!!! God. No wonder they've been called "only somewhat intelligent."
I solo'ed him very easily with a mildly twinked 22 SK...never had to use HT and only had about 600hp when i started he does seem to regen at a rather high rate
Is it a random spawn or does he spawn in a certain tunnel? I'm looking at a map of this zone on EQAtlas and there are two Netherbianalien tunnels listed but no spawn place for the Swarm Leader.
Had a group going in their tonight. We pulled it out from the tunnel that goes left from the giant column as if you were entering the zone from the nexus. Killed it about 5 or 6 times. I'm guesing he spawns in that tunnel.

not sure where exactly he spawns but he does wander around the caves. Does not see invis. Get a tracker to help, he is easy to be found. No idea how hard he hits for tho since i took him down real fast while pasing tho to Maidens. Not bad for a twink item 8)
and the swarmcaller is NOT his ph since i saw them both up on track
Me (lvl41 warrior) and my Cuz (26 cleric) were just kiling stuff all over and found him he was light blue and easy as hell to kill But What is the PC on the Chitin?? i looted it and a Hammer that sold for 5pp
