Flesh Crawlers are medium level monsters found in the second level of the Stronghold of Security. They drop the bottom of sceptre, one of four parts of the skull sceptre. Flesh crawlers drop herbs often, and are frequently killed for their uncommon grimy ranarr drops.

They are scavengers, and will eat anything if given the chance.^[1]

Flesh crawlers are aggressive to any level players. Ranged is a good style to use as there are safespots in the rooms, such as in the south-west corner of the south-east room. It is possible to hide behind non-aggressive giant rats in one room and range the flesh crawlers, protected from their rapid, albeit weak, attacks. Their attack speed is three ticks, or equivalent to the goblin paint cannon. Because these attacks max at 1 damage, using a regen bracelet can help to offset much of the damage taken, especially if the player has a strong defence.

For minimal user-input (also known as afk or semi-afk training), turn on auto retaliate and let the crawlers come to you. When they lose their aggressiveness, simply move to another room, then come back. Since flesh crawlers are 2x2 in size, when multiple players are afk training at once the flesh crawlers can get stuck on one another and stop attacking the player; this can be mitigated by standing on the same tile as other players who are already afk training on the same world, greatly increasing xp rates.

To reduce banking trips needed, deposit all non-stackable drops when you are teleported to random events, and drop all herbs aside from ranarr, as those are often more valuable than even the highest levelled herbs such as dwarf weed.

Drop rates are estimated based on 1,215,464 samples from the Drop Rate Project, unless otherwise cited.

The average flesh crawler kill on members' worlds is worth 437.65.

There is a 35/100 chance of rolling the herb drop table.

There is a 2/100 chance of rolling the gem drop table.

Drop rates are estimated based on 1,464,915 samples from the Drop Rate Project, unless otherwise cited.

The average flesh crawler kill on free-to-play worlds is worth 19.02.

There is a 2/100 chance of rolling the gem drop table.
