I stumbled in there once by accident when I returned to DR after a four year hiatus, about three years ago, and it was pretty much an instant death. I remember hearing though at the time that they were a decent critter to hunt once you got past a certain point, but I dont remember what that certain point is now. Whats it gonna take to avoid instant death in there now, anyone know?

400s and blunt weapons?

Warklins are level 65-66 in the bestiary. Amagaim apparently has them on the list to be tested, but they haven't been tested yet.

Going by the "typical formula"... You'd probably need about 5 * 65, or 325s, to go after warklins. The "typical formula" isn't always accurate due to special attacks and physical stat differences, but... The typical monster has 5 ranks in weapon skills for every level listed in the bestiary.

As to special attacks, warklins web you. So it might be best to get closer to 350+ if you want to go after them.

It goes by Barbarian levels, I think, actually.

You might want to wait a couple months for Ssra to roll out the new damage calcs because at that level the insta death chest blowouts become daily. Dont worry about departing down there cause there aint a chance you will get graverobbed.

They also shoot webs.

<<They also shoot webs.>>

To help promote the idea of shield using rangers, the webs can be blocked by a shield.

Assuming I'm not totally insane I seem to recall there were two kinds of warklins. One kind I could handle ok with low 300s in a melee weapon. The other kind is prolly the 400s someone else mentioned.

There are armored and maulers.

with mid 200's shield I routinely failed to block the webs (small arm-worn shield), maybe i was on a cold streak though, I only briefly toyed with them

Seriously tho, damage calcs, forage for now or be frustrated.
