[FAQ] [doc]

Flesh crawlers are medium level monster that are considered good for training levels 35 to 40. The level 28's only hit 1 to 3, but are quite accurate and hit at a fast rate. They are considered a good way of making money in a pay-to-play world due to the large amount of high level herb drops. Flesh crawlers also drop a lot of herbs offering a good alternative to a chaos druid.


Strategies

Due to the high accuracy and speed of the flesh crawlers, food is a necessity for any extended stay for weaker players with a low defence and/or poor armour. Conveniently, there is a fishing area located just outside of the Barbarian Village, close to the entrance of the Stronghold of Security. Salmon and trout can be caught and cooked here if a player does not wish to bring his/her own food from the bank. Players can cook their fish on the perpetual fire located in Peska's helmet shop.

If you are P2P, a good strategy is strap on all the armour you can (as you won't need to run) and teleport to Varrock to sell your herbs at the Grand Exchange. Ranarr and Kwuarm are worth the most coins. Players often clean guam, marrentill, tarromin, harralander, and cadantine for Herblore experience and then drop them, as they are all currently (as of 11/8/08) less than 1k. Player are recommended to pick up all the runes and noted iron ore as well, they will add up over time.

Flesh crawlers are only aggressive for a 10 minute duration after a player of any level enters their area. After that time they stop attacking the player. If the player leaves that area and returns, they will attack the player again. This does not include logging out, but it does include random events. Flesh crawlers have a low combat level so it is not advised for leveling unless you are between the combat levels of 40 to 60. For these players, Flesh crawlers are a perfect source of exp due to their low max hit and their Aggressiveness. There is a small room with 8 lvl 35 Flesh Crawlers in the Stronghold of Security, which makes them great for training at low levels. The level 28's hit 1's, the level 35's hit 2's, and the level 41's hit 3's.

These creatures are also popular for high leveled F2P players as well. Due to the fact they are aggressive and hit low, it is perfect for training without having to do much, and, if they stop attacking you, in the corner mentioned with 8 flesh crawlers there is also rats which you can recieve bones from, bury, and be visited by numerous random events.
