must be from the patches thats occured throughout time, but those nymphs in the pic dont look anything like the nymphs i've seen. The ones all over the trees in the plains are pixie looking types. Although i did see a human nymph once, but that was a named one. must have been for a quest.
How come i the nymphs that i have killed, NEVER have droped anything useful other than copper? I've been looking for a staff of melting forever. Which grove do i seek out.
I have kill many of these and found that they all dropped a staff that was called Ponderer it was a staff for a Sorcerer or a Cablist. Sell for around 11 sp.
Different patches have diffrent levels. Groove nymphs give outstanding experience for thier level, and have very little hit, so it isn't often you'll need to run from that unexpected orange in the patch. It seems the closer you get to the slavers camp, the progressivly tougher the groove nymphs. After the last couple patches they've drop pretty good loot, ranging from caster staves and cloaks (common) to Platemail and weapons (very rare), most of the loot cons yellow at 15ish.
If your a solo'er, you can NOT pass up hunting these.
