Have you noticed this? Kreetles give something like 49 weapon-specialty xp, 4 combat xp whether you're a pure noob or an elite combat master. Meanwhile an overkreetle gives you like 6 weapon-specialty xp, no combat xp if you're an elite master. Just one of those funny things.

Kreetles will also almost invariably break both mask scent and camouflage, even as a Master Ranger.


I believe that kreetles hold the secret to ultimate success in this game...it's just that noone's figured out how they truly fit in yet.

Gnorts also give a consistent amount of weapon/combat xp, I believe it's 69/6.

I hate kreetles with a passion, I wish we could wipe them out. All of them.

Aren't kreetles Greens (no match for you), as a noob and as a master. I'm pretty sure when I started out they were greens back then too, so therefore it will be the same xp

I still remember one of my first destroy missions was a kreetle lair outside of Bestine, about a year ago. I learned quickly that a CDEF pistol and a complete lack of skill boxes is a combination easily bested by a kreetle. I was surprised that kreetles weren't on the top of the list of MOBs killed in the stats feature a few months back. Far more offensive than gnorts. As a master CH, I have been known to send a pet after a kreetle just to see them die and flip over even before my pet gets near them. Must be fear.

Incapped? I got killed by one on my first day!

I had just installed the game and was eager to get started. Didn't read the manual (like a typical n00b), just launched right in and started playing.


My friends were waiting for me in Mos Eisley, but the game wouldn't let me start there for whatever reason (too crowded? I don't know). So I started in Mos Espa. I'd heard that there were NPC quests all over the place so I talked to the first NPC I saw. She gave me a quest to deliver an item and the waypoint arrow appeared on my screen.


I didn't know about the planetary map or the onscreen waypoint monitor, and had no idea about shuttleports... so I started walking in the direction of the arrow. I came across some humanoid thugs (don't remember if they were Desert Demons or Alkhara bandits or what), knew nothing of /consider or the significance of the colors on the radar... I had no armor and a stock CDEF, tried to fight, realized I was losing and tried to run. Got incapped. Got up, incapped again. Got up and burst run out of there... into a kreetle nest. DEAD by a kreetle on day one.


Moral of the story? RTFM, n00b!

Krettle's are teh secret to happyness in the game...so says the man who made it his sole mission one week to kill as many krettles as possible and try to make getting those kills difficult (no pet and get as many aggro's as possible...eventually got well over 500 krettle kills, I stopped counting at 498...)


But I have seen teh wrath of the Krettle as well, the day after my week was up the krettles came to get revenge...3 lairs spawned in a triangle around me...each holding 4 krettle and 1 overkrettle as first spawn...it was a fun battle...eventulally got it down to 1 almost dead overkrettle before being incapped and death blowed (as a novice carbineer)

If you could find a never ending spawn of kreetles, you could easily master any elite combat profession in a day! I love killing those little guys for their 49 exp!

Dont yo wish you had a magic potion to wipe out the nests and barrels of food to replenish health.....Oh wait thats another game. Darn well at least you tried. HEHE. (warrior is about to die. Warrior needs food badly)

Kreetle are also suicidal too. They're the only thing at green con whose aggro range doesn't decrease as a create when they are green. They'd attack a super star destroyer if one popped up. I do have a funny story though, I was helping a noob out and one of this missions was a kreetle nest. So I'm standing there watching him punch that nest when all of a sudden a death kreetle popped up! As a naked brawler working up unarmed two let's just say he didn't last long. Hell it was a 2 shot deal. He was incapped and dead before I could hit my flamesingle2 button to bail him out. At least he didn't get killed by a nuna like my friend did towards the beginning of launch. Most of you remember those days of the magically appearing army of aggro yellow nunas bent on killing all in their path?
