Hello.

I just got done reading this entire forum and found it quite interesting. I was looking for the place to post some questions bout bloodworms up in crocs and I think I found it.

Anyhow, does anyone know the skills required to tend them wormds. I'm only asking because I had done a rescue mission in there just recently and was very nervous about the worms. I only went because an empath said they could go with me. Ironically, said empath wasn't able to tend the worms themselves I believe they said. I'm pretty sure that was the case cause the empath asked me to tend the ones on him.

Well, thankfully I was able to get the fallen out of the swamp and no one else died. I really wasn't expecting as good of an outcome as we had. But here is the odd part. I only have 42 ranks in first aid. Yet I was able to tend say maybe 3 worms that showed up. Not all on the first try but I did get them off. I just found that really odd. I thought you need 100+ ranks to tend them things.

Not sure if this matters but I saw in other posts that skinning and mech lore is involved in the process? Maybe that is what saved me? I have 95 ranks or so in skinning and 120+ ranks in mech lore. Anyhow just curious what anyone thinks.

Thanks.

When they become engorged, seemed to me they would always drop off. It was rather surprising when I heard one belch, and disgusting when he left a tip.

J'Lo, no that other one

Ryeka's question:

I believe they were engorged. I honestly don't know much about the worms. I mean I figured I had some on me when I saw my vitality dropping but I didn't see anything on my health. So I didn't even know they could be tended at that point. If they can be tended before they can be seen on you, I certainly don't know how to do it.

However, they did get to the point where I was able to check my health and see them on me. That was the point that I tended them off. I mean, if I can't see something how can I tend it? Does a certain skill allow one to see the bloodworms sooner? Say if I have 100 first aid I can see the bugger on me before it is engorged?

All in all, it isn't too much of a big deal for me cause it isn't likely a spot where I would ever go hunting. I'm pretty sure I could handle crocs now, not certain, but by the time I really could deal with the worms I'd imagine I'd be out of the range. Guess I just wanted to know in case I ever had to do another rescue in there.

Many thanks.

I don't think there is a major skill check that says after you have X skill in perception / FA you can see them on the first typing of HEALTH. I have over 500 percep and 200 FA and still have to spam it in order to see those bloodsuckers. I could be wrong and just need way more first aid, and if this is the case please let me know.
