Giant rock crabs

So what is so good about these anyway? People talk about ranging them. They are really high lvl don't they hit alot? Confused.

Wow - People still kill these?

 

 

 

Anyway, they drop 10 charms per drop (not 100% drop rate, but a decent one), dropping mainly gold, nearly never blue. They have MASSIVE melee and range defense, the only way to mele them is with Veracs. I suppose you might be able to use diamond bolts, but it's needlessly expensive and still will come out slower. There are many safe spots in both waterbirth and chaos tunnels, not only that but they hit INCREDIBLY low and inaccurately, probably the worst accuracy for a semi high monster in game. I litterly can tank these in mystic robes sup def pot and 90 defense.

 

 

 

If you're going to kill them, salamanders are a nice method - orange salamanders are relatively cost efficient (or at least they were at the release of summoning, not sure about now). Otherwise, you can try air/fire waving or slayer darting them, probably the most cost efficient.

 

 

 

I'd recomend staying away from these though, horrible exp and they drop golds over anything else.

Ok. Maybe they were talking about normal crabs? Where are these?

There is a confusion between Giant Rock Crabs and Rock Lobsters.

 

Rock Lobsters drop 2 charms of either crimson, gold, green or blue, crimson being the most common.

 

These are easy to mage giving great exp and charm drop rate but little else.

 

Giant Rock crabs are also an ok source of charm drops, dropping as already mentioned, 10 charms at a time but they mainly drop Gold Charms.
