Giant Scorpion is a hostile mob found in The Dunes — West, East, and South realms all have packs of them. It is a source of Medium Scrolls and Desert Robes pieces, though it is no longer the fastest Medium Scroll farm in the game.
Giant Scorpions are tameable via King Scorpia Mount camouflage — they ignore riders of that mount until attacked.
Combat
| Mob | Combat XP | HP | Contact damage | Aggro range | Chase range | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Giant Scorpion | 110 per kill | 200 | 9–20 per hit (rolled) | 3 tiles | 4 tiles | Roam in packs across all three Dunes realms — Dunes East has 9, Dunes West 6, Dunes South 8. Respawn in about 20 seconds. |
Players wearing no armor at all take 50% more damage from Giant Scorpions — any single worn armor piece removes the penalty.
Loot Table
Giant Scorpions drop multiple items per kill on independent rolls.
| Drop | Chance | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Desert Robes (Top or Bottom) | 1 in 5,000 each | 1 | Top and Bottom are rolled independently. Passive source of heat-immunity cosmetics — see Desert Robes for full set details. |
| Medium Scroll | 1 in 1,000 | 1 | Unique quest scroll. Redeemable to Maelor the Scrollbinder for 6–15 Gold. Halved from the previous 1 in 500 rate. |
Giant Scorpions do not drop Gold — their kill table is the Desert Robe rolls and the Medium Scroll only.
Medium Scroll Farming
Giant Scorpion is no longer the best Medium Scroll farm in the game — that title now belongs to Venomweaver.
| Source | Drop rate | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Venomweaver | 1 in 600 | Best odds among regular sources. Requires average skill level 20 and a queued cave encounter. |
| Giant Scorpion | 1 in 1,000 | Open-world farming, no queue, but worse odds than Venomweaver. |
| Magma Brute | 1 in 1,500 | Slowest of the three regular sources. |
| King Scorpia | 1 in 300 | Best raw odds, but gated behind organizing a world boss kill. |
Heat Management
The Dunes deals 1 HP every 10 seconds to all players (after a 30-second grace period). You must:
- Wear Desert Robes (Top + Bottom) for complete immunity, OR
- Use Health Potion+ to heal through heat damage, OR
- Bring Cacti (20 HP per harvest, requires Iron Axe + Woodcutting 20) to heal on the spot
Regular potions and food do not work in The Dunes. Starter tools do not work anywhere in the Dunes either — rocks need a forged-tier pickaxe, and cacti need an iron or better axe.
King Scorpia Mount Interaction
While riding King Scorpia Mount, all Giant Scorpions ignore you completely.
- Attack a Scorpion and camouflage breaks — they hunt you for 30 seconds
- Every further attack refreshes the 30-second timer
- Stop attacking and wait it out, camouflage returns
- Useful for repositioning or skipping packs
Strategy Tips
- Scroll farming — Venomweaver now has better Medium Scroll odds (1/600 vs. 1/1,000), but Giant Scorpion requires no queue and drops Desert Robes on the side
- Pack hunting — Giant Scorpions often roam in groups; the aggro range is short (3 tiles), but standing inside a pack can still put multiple mobs on you at once
- Heat watch — constantly monitor your HP; heat damage is consistent
- PvP alert — Dunes realms are full PvP outside safe camps (Dunes South has no safe camps at all); bring friends or fight defensively
- Shield + armor — Iron or Silver armor reduces incoming damage, and wearing at least one piece removes the 50% unarmored damage penalty; bring Shield Potions
- Sword tier — Silver Sword hits for 30 base + 10 from Strength Potion = 40 damage per swing
