Revision as of 15:00, 3 April 2008 by *>FFXI-Armando (Most non-NM beetles are PLD, no reason not to have the job listed for the mob family.)

Armored insects that scurry around in forests, caves, tombs and large open areas, beetles are a common sight to adventurers. Like their aquatic counterparts the crabs, beetles are encased in thick body armor comprised of a segmented shell. Armed with formidable mandibles they can chew easily through wood and flesh. Like all insects they have compound eyes which gives them excellent vision, which isn't good news to adventurers who come across the more aggressive of the beetle family. Capable of enhancing their defense it takes all but the sharpest weapons and strongest magic to bypass its armor. Capable of flight with their wings they use that to their advantage, either fluttering them to cause sonic vibrations or flying up and launching themselves straight into an opponents face like a missle.

These living tanks are worth the trouble in farming. Getting past their defense and subduing one gives you the chance to collect its sought after shell and jaws. They make for a durable yet light armor as well as rings and earrings. Their wings can also be used to arrow fletchings and earrings.
