Cleaning up iron beetle droppings

[Jonathen]

I love the ore piles that spawn near the iron beetles and the possibility of taking away handfuls of valorite, however I was getting frustrated with all the piles that were spawning underground, could not be picked up and never decayed so were gradually accumulating.

Anyway, today I discovered that those difficult piles can be removed by double clicking them (or using telekinesis spell for unreachable ones) and targeting another pile either in your backpack or on the ground to combine them - only requirement is that you have a similar pile handy, but since the same colour often spawns in multiple nearby locations that shouldn't usually be a problem. Today I had a clear up session and got rid of most of what was already there, and figured I'd share my discovery in case anyone else was similarly aggrieved by the situation and wanted to do likewise in future

Since I need to gather 200 iron beetle scales to finish 20 tier 2 quests from Zosilem, I spent a good amount of time around that area. I found out that they always spawn with 3 wolf spiders along with other 5 wolf spiders on the corridor. They are also one of the most powerful creatures together with the Lesser Hiryu that can be used without any taming skill.
