Basic question here... where in Akheva Ruins do they spawn? Way in the back to the right?

Fought lots of these yesterday in Akheva. Tough fight - those woms don't seem to stay in one place. Yes, they are called mind borrowers, but they are still worms :) After spawning they start wandering about. At 53, they were all white/yellow to me. Thankfully, I did not get too many resists on mezzes. Over an hour going non-stop, cause whenever we killed one, there would be at least one mezzed add waiting. It literally rained spell drops. Mind worm hides are uncommon but not too rare. Got about 4/5 out of maybe 40 or so worms (lost count)
If you want to hunt those and don't have a good force (we had about 15 people in 51-62 range) I suggest you stay out of their general area and pull to a corridor by one/two. Bring a good enchanter, too.

how frequently do they drop the mind worm hides?

Was lucky enough to be with guild doing these bad boys last night, we were making our way around the entire place.

Tried using regular nukes on these at first, but was getting alot of partial resists (i.e., not hitting for full damage). Druids were saying the same thing, not hitting for much. So I switched to lures, full damage every time. Both fire and cold based lures worked on these guys.

They are fun, mana drain with other nice anti-caster damage :o) If you are looking for something different, here is the place to be.

None the less a serious miss con. The worms are intresting enough to pull, add the fact they come in pairs or 3's or if your unlucky enough to get the roamer make that 4. If ya dont have a good puller have a good enc. Average of 3 a pull pulling max range with a 60 war. They can be mezzed, just very resistant and have caused problems. There attack is a proc- leech of mana, so Imo best group that Ive been in so far with these has been war, cleric, bard, enc, rog, necro, (/sigh dont know many monks up on the moon). Have the necro start blasting the enc off the pull because the proc on these leeches me for 15m a shot. Bard can occ and can charm these as well. Again if ya dont have a Monk that knows whats going on, dont bother or have a enc that can handle = to king in seb. Lastly they do have alot of hps, about 3 times as much as the centis that roam around. So all in all on the topic of level, Maybe 46. /shrug, all I can say is alot of hps for that level.

drops: Some int dagger that /bleh and spells, seems the times Ive been there the ranger spells seem to be the most frequently droped, followed by SK. Besides that Pali lvl 56 *I think* group heal, and bard AoE does drop there as well. Again I dont know if it is set drops, but from what I have seen ranger seems to be the most prevalent, or my luck just sux in spell drops.
