I've read and experienced that these mobs have VERY low HP for their lvl. I was wondering, would it be possible to solo these (In my case, as my 60 SMN) for EXP? They seem to die very fast due to low HP, and there is a fair amount of them in Sky. Of course, Magic Aggro would be a small problem, but theoretically, could this be done for good EXP?
EDIT--- I just tested this as my 60 SMN. I approached the Detectors in the Shrine, and I checked them. They still /check'd as Too Weak. So the actual Level Range is definitly wrong. Perhaps they have the Attack of something in that range, but their actual lvl is still lower.
So in summary. We can't use these for low lvl EXP'ing.

Today first time I saw one, they are really weak and I soloed one as WAR72 with NIN sub. They check as too weak so I don't understand how they can be lvl 67 - 70.
By the way I had Shadow up most the fight so I cant say I actually got hit hard by one but HP on them goes down really fast.

Well then, lmao... me an my buddy wanna go adventuring.
Walk into this place... see this thing, con's too weak right... so I'm like... that's not right.
MY buddy walks by it, get's aggroed dies withen a few seconds, I zone.
Come back in, give it a nice barrage (level 53 RNG) an nearly kill him, but ran.
Scary little bastards

I'm guessing the Too Weak just means your not gonna get any xp..but i for all i know you can get 1000 xp per mob as i have never seen any of these in game
I was on my very first trigger run for the gods last night. When i got to a purple floor in Shrine of Ru' Avuta (sp?) i conned it, to weak ok cool i walk on the floor and bam 4 of the lil buggers shoot their beams at me for 90-120 dmg then they summon their dolls which are hitting me for like 200 dmg...my new title among LS: Detector Expert.

believe it its the 1st and most tricky mob i ever seen
i checked it it was too weak to my little 56 brd.
didnt aggro to sound coz it was too weak.
me and my buddy BLM 50 [it was too weak to him too] suggested that we try to kill it for fun, my friend starts casting freeze, the detector aggroed him, i casted lullaby, resisted, i look at my friend, he was already dead so i ran away, hits my poor bard for 250-300, the detector then summoned a Doll!! which hits me for 450 crit, of course i was dead meat steps away from zone
one last word, ITS NOT F**KIN TOO WEAK!!!

1 they check as too weak, but they will still aggro you.
This picture looks like a Star Wars pic, One of those hovering drone things
I guess they have around 500 life, as when I went back with my ranger and barraged it, it died instantly and barrage only did 538.
Do yu think a 68 drg can kill them in 2 jumps or so? seem like an easy way to get coffer key since they are close to zone^^
The best way to deal with them is to hit them with magic. They do attack hard, but you can kill them with one Blizzard3 ^^
Too weak hit my 63thf for 181, and critical for 377 :/ I lived by zoning.
No idea the actual level on these things... They con "too weak to be worthwhile" at level 67. Really weird thing is they are too weak but they have "high evasion and defense".
