I've seen this mob in East Ronfaure [S] when i clicked on it said Notorious Monster. Then it blew ifself up without being in a fight. I didn't want to fight it as i was only Ninja lvl40.
As BST, I would charm a pet and use the pet to detonate these things. I was running thru Rolanberry Fields when I saw a gobbie lay one, figured what the hell use the pet to check this out. Pet went over, BOOM!!!! Crawler takes 200-300 damage, lesson learned without suffering, we have mine fields. Reminds me of the ToA Qiqirn THFs. So, BST use our area pets to clear the zones of mines. And nope, nothing dropped.
Also found one of these that a goblin dropped in East Ronfaure [S], and conned Impossible to Gauge lol. After about 30 seconds it exploded by itself, not sure what the range on this thing is but i'd stay away.
Today i saw it 4 times in East Ronfaure [S], want to get close to it but blow up. Each time i try to reach or cast something, it blow up.
First time I saw one was in Vunkerl Inlet, was checking everything (as it is new area) and conned imposible to gauge, then I said to LS "Found It! Goblin Mine <pos> <call14>" then BOOM! blow up, got really scared lol. Next one I saw was in West Sarutabaruta [S].
So far i've seen 6 of these. Wonder if u can get it, or if drops something... or how to kill/capture it without blowing up.
Just found out, they are set by the Goblin Skirmisher stay around 10 seconds then explodes, seems like strong agaisnt magic. Don't drop anything when you kill it.. (or havent droped anything yet?). If you follow any Goblin Skirmisher, it will eventually set one on the floor, if anyone wants to see it.
